    Summary

    It's a stage.

    It's hard to tell in its dilapidated state. But he knows, instinctively, that he stands on a stage. Hardwood. Shining, once upon a time, he thinks. It's solid beneath his feet.

    He taps a foot against it. He receives feedback; pressure against his sole, an audible clack in the air.

    What a strange sensation.

    --
    A desperate act to save the circus leads to a haphazard reconstruction of Caine's corrupted code. But something is wrong. Now powerless and flooded with memories that do not belong to him, Caine believes he's another human.

    But if Caine thinks he's a human, and the players are busy trying to stop the circus from complete self-destruction, then who's the one running the show?

    Summary

    There are two people in the circus with similar trauma and wounds. They could find comfort in each other... if they learn to see each other as real.

    This is going to be a slow burn.  There will be smut, very eventually.  But even in canon these two don't have a relationship, so to build that realistically without being totally OOC, we gotta start from the ground up.  Canon compliant through episode 5, divergent after.

    Summary

    The absence of Caine, unfortunately, makes way for something worse. Out of pure desperation, the gang rescues him from deletion in hopes he can save them from being deleted too.

    Caine gets another chance to prove himself, though he's not sure he wants to, and he still doesn’t understand how it all went so wrong in the first place.

    Nobody really wants to die here. Nobody really has much of a choice on how to make that happen. And certainly, nobody is really happy with their former tormentor(s).

    But…any port in a storm, right? And maybe with a little patience and effort and compassion, they can all learn to just...live.

    Summary

    Velvet knows that she's a copy. It's impossible for her not to. After all, she put this headset on once before a few years ago, and she can see the results of that bad decision staring her right in the face. And it looks like no one's bothered to let that version of her know she's a girl, so of course it's Velvet's job to get this closet-case to open up.
    Too bad she's also, really, really annoying.

    Or: Jax cracks her own egg

    Summary

    DISCLAIMER: NO Spoilers for EP9 will be tolerated here until June 19th!!
    Please be respectful and mindful around here, thank you!<3
     

    You had always been a little closer to the cheery ringmaster than anyone else. Even if neither of you ever admitted it, you were his favorite human. The one he shared quiet moments with between adventures.

    But when the group’s desperate attempt to fix Caine ends in disaster, you are suddenly left with something you had already started to give up on: a chance to undo what was done.
    To take it, you must venture somewhere no one was ever meant to go. The very backbone of the Digital Circus itself. The backend.

    But what waits for you there is not simply lost code or broken data, but something that will challenge your mind, your heart, and your loyalty to the ringmaster you thought you knew.

    And by the time you realize what you’ve found, it may already be too late to turn back.
