    Summary

    In a circus that never seems to sleep, the abstraction rests in its dark tent.

    Hallucinations plague Jax every day, to the point the days have completely started to blend together.

    At least Jax gets a moment to breathe when the hallucination of Pomni sleeps next to him.

    Summary

    9 years since Pomni arrived
    Since Caine was deleted
    Since Kinger became Ringmaster
    ….and then everything went back to normal
    Things continued to run par for the course:
    Adventures (admittedly much better ones)
    New Arrivals
    Abstractions
    Same old same old for the circus
    ………………Jaclyn (oh yeah, and she came out of the closet, so there’s that too) really expected that she would have Abstracted by now.
    I mean, c’mon! She’s…….her!
    She’s the one who had a dozen near-Abstractions in Pomni’s first month.
    She’s the one who nobody would’ve missed.
    She’s the one who deserved it the most.
    And yet? She’s still here.
    Most of the time Jaclyn’s happy about that
    But more than a few times, she hates herself for it, because after everything she had done, she really, really didn’t deserve to be the one who got a happy ending.
    Why did Pomni have to love her? Why did everyone have to care about her?
    It would’ve been easier to give up if they didn’t.
    And then Jaclyn keeps moving forward, because despite the guilt, she still doesn’t want to go
    So she’s still kicking when the newest character drops in.

    Summary

    After Jax's abstraction, Pomni can feel the void his absence has left. No one wants to acknowledge it, but it's there and real. On top of that, the members of the circus have to grasp with the truth of their own existence: they are completely trapped. Caine tries to cheer them up, but some things are too great for the AI to properly grasp.

    Unaware of her jester counterpart, Abigail Brooks wanders through her mundane life in St. Louis. Every day feels the same working her corporate job, even if she tries to escape through exploration. Urbexing is her passion, something that grounds her. But why does she have such a bad feeling about putting on that headset a few months ago?

    Summary

    (Takes place after TADC ep9)

    After Jax's abstraction, Pomni is left feeling... kind of alone. Sure, she has Ragatha and everyone else in the circus, but everything feels empty without the purple bunny.
    Out of either curiosity or desperation, Pomni goes to ask Caine if he could bring Jax back, or at least use his brainscans to remake him.
    Secrets come to light, questions are answered, and many things happen!

    Summary

    Seriously? Jax pulled a face. This was the same place old people came to play cards on Thursday nights. He could probably find a spare cane laying around somewhere. Apparently someone had looked at the old building and thought it was the perfect place to shove a bunch of mentally ill people once a week. He checked his email to make sure it was the right place. Yep. Zooble had even left him a nice note at the end. 

    Show up or else

    He sighed. They probably felt so smug, finally sending him to therapy.

     

    Or:
    Jax is sent to group therapy as a part of his recovery plan. Meeting Ragatha wasn't anywhere in that plan.

    Summary

    Sometimes the loudest cries for help are the ones that never make a sound.

    Set during Episode 9—but with one major change. As the Circus recovers from Caine’s disappearance, Pomni dedicates herself to helping everyone else move forward. The more she gives of herself, however, the harder it becomes to ignore the cracks beginning to form within.

    Jax had his fun, now it’s Pomni’s turn to show the world her reality.

    Summary

    Struggling with the grief of Jax's abstraction, some helpful advise leads Pomni to keep hope alive and not let the grief consume her. After 2 years of waiting, an opportunity arrives and Pomni once again dives into Jax's mind.

    Perhaps abstraction can't be undone, it's effects may be permanent, but it doesn't have to be the end. Perhaps the key to un-abstraction isn't to move back, but forward and rediscover one's true self.

    After 2 years of finding herself, witness the journey of healing a reborn Jax must take as she wrestles with the weight of her past actions, builds a healthy support group, and finds new meaning in a stagnant life.

    Summary

    Only a few "days" before Pomni comes to the Digital Circus, Undaazho the Conjurer appears there one "night". Like all the other characters, he has little memory of who he was before then. Until now, he has been given a quieter welcoming. When he starts discovering where he REALLY comes from, he is forced to choose between a glimmer of light or a dance in eternal darkness.

    Summary

    After a rather traumatic PTSD episode, Ragatha can't help but feel the digital world around her collapsing... until a certain jester (that she may or may not have feelings for) comes to check on her. Will they? Won't they? Who the hell knows? I sure as hell don't...

    Or

    With Jax out of the way, the lesbian ragdoll with extreme internalized homophobia gets awfully close to her little... cute clowny friend (they end up sleeping in the same bed)

    Summary

    Listed here are my many ideas for different stories focusing on Caine that I need to get out of my system after the storm that was Episode 8. Since I have no faith in my own writing skills, I will periodically post any interesting story ideas that come to mind here, each in its own chapter. Don’t expect incredible detail, though; these are more just prompts and inspiration for your own stories.

    All these ideas are focused on Caine and are free for any of you to use for your own stories or to be inspired by.

    I will also add and update tags as I go along to accommodate new ideas.

    Summary

    After almost abstracting, Jax is left seeing the world the same way one of those color-eyed creatures would. The light is agony. The dark offers a small reprieve.

    Essentially? His vision is completely fucked.

    Summary

    The world where there wasn't a brain scan, where humans were dragged into a computer against their will... it's not a world with happy endings. And when the humans are ejected from the Circus, missing one of their own, they don't just get to go back to their lives. There's hospitals, and police, and desperately trying to be believed, followed by just as desperately trying to be left alone. But the one thing they have is each other. They have each other and that's never going to change.

    TADC AU – Non-SOMA, Escape the Circus. Everyone is insanely codependent and the way they got out was so traumatizing they can barely talk about it. Pomni tries her best to hold everyone together, while also getting re-used to a life outside, and wondering which world was actually better.

    MAY become Gangle/Zooble and/or Jax/Pomni if it goes on long enough, but most of the fic is focused on their platonic found family bond. MULTIPLE Trigger Warnings, both tagged and untagged; untagged will be labelled at the top of chapters. Viewer Discretion Advised.

    Summary

    SPOILERS FOR EPISODE NINE!!! DON’T IGNORE THE WARNING!!!

    After rebuilding the Circus and readjusting to this new digital reality, things couldn’t be better for everyone! Pomni doesn’t have to stress out as much and makes sure everyone is ok, Ragatha becomes a pro at baseball, Zooble opens up their own bar, Gangle continues drawing, Kinger…..well he’s still Kinger, and Jax stays inside the giant pillow fort most of the time as an abstraction of what he used to be.

    Overall things couldn’t be better right?

    Wrong.

    After Caine tossed out the Blue dot, it managed to copy what Caine had done and retrieved itself from the void. Now it’s back as a new threat to everyone, wanting revenge on Caine for trying to discard it as well as the rest of the crew for deleting it in the first place.

    Can everyone band together to take out this new threat? Or are they perhaps one conversation too late from certain doom?
