    Summary

    A glitch causes Caine’s audio to be broadcast across the circus while he plans an adventure with Bubble, and the cast gets to hear Caine struggle and laugh with the circus’ stupid spaghetti code, as well as some oddly human moments from Caine as they learn things about him and things that he does that they never knew about.

    Summary

    Caine’s Bubble-popping office crashout is instead a breakthrough, and he comes out of it deciding that instead of torturing and getting revenge on his guests, he is going to do whatever he can to earn their approval. Even if it means doing things that actively take up too much RAM for him to handle, like leaving their favorite adventures open all the time or giving them all special abilities or letting them all customize their models, etc. This leads to… a very glitchy, exhausted, and ready-to-collapse Caine, and his only hope is that the others realize what they’re doing to him before it’s too late.

    Summary

    It’s been a few days since The Favorite Character Awards.

    Pomni has been through a number of bizarre things during her time in the circus. Candy truck chases, angel head horrors, minimum wage labor, athletic events, gun-filled battle royales. But none of these come close to what she witnesses on a seemingly innocent day full of beach-filled fun: Caine attempting to take his own life.

    After managing to stop him, Pomni takes it upon herself (and is borderline forced to by Bubble) to help keep Caine’s mental state intact by engaging in improvised therapy sessions with him. After all, if Caine died, what would happen to the circus? And to the humans that lived within it? This was her only concern at first. But as Caine opens up to her more through these sessions, she realizes just how much the AI is hurting and how long he has been harboring these negative emotions.

    Turns out Caine needs more help than she thought.

    He's just as trapped in this game as they are. And worse.

    Summary

    “Promise me to never mention Ribbit’s name again.”

    “I…”

    But, she stops herself. Is she supposed to agree to this promise? Never mention Ribbit’s name again? He definitely wasn’t dealing with Ribbit’s loss well. Maybe this is his way of coping. So she should do her best to be there for him by taking this promise. To make him feel better.

    But…

    This doesn’t feel right.

    A compilation of Ragatha and her (concerningly unhealthy) persistence. A compilation of Jax and his (frustratingly slow) surrender.

    Summary

    "Jax," she coaxes, gently. "What’s going on?"

    His scowl falls lopsided, buckling under the strain of her question. He lets out a frustrated growl, runs a hand down his face.

    “...Nothing, Pomni. Forget it.”

    “You can talk to me,” Pomni reminds him.

    “There’s nothing to talk about.”

    “Okay…” Pomni gives a hesitant nod, not wanting to feed any further into his instincts to dig his heels in and deny the obvious. “Then talk to me about nothing.”

    In another life, Jax's final attempt to reach out to Pomni goes a little differently.

    Summary

    Christine came back from the impossible with scars no one could see. She was supposed to be moving on: going back to work, learning how to be a real person again, and pretending the daily flashbacks were not a problem.

    Then Cam walked into her life, sharp-tongued, legally questionable, and carrying oddly similar damage.

    How long was she supposed to wait before trusting him with who she used to be?

    Or: a post-circus funnybunny-centric story about identity, grief, and getting the gang back together again. takes place summer of 2026, based on lore up to ep 7 ♡

    Summary

    Jax ducks her head, still staring at Ribbit out of the corners of her eyes, and for a long, long moment, they just look at each other.

    In another universe, Kaufmo knocks.

    But in this one…

    Kaufmo doesn’t knock.

    Jax says, “Thank you.”

    It’s not a great day. But it’s better.

    (a what if? for that scene in ribbit’s room. kaufmo doesn’t knock, jax doesn’t run, and ribbit doesn’t fade away. edited on 6/20 to include an actual summary instead of spoiler warnings.)

    Summary

    "You're not dead," Pomni said with a frown. "Not yet, at least. You're just — indisposed."

    At that, Jax gave her a long look as his mouth narrowed out into a little line. Then he sighed quietly. It wasn't the way he used to sigh, with dramatic posturing that begged the attention from anyone even remotely listening. It was small. Tired. Reflexive. Then he sat down with his knees to his chest, glaring into the dark water. The only light here, a single streetlamp, glowed weakly.

    "Denial is an ugly color on you. Clashes with your stupid hat."

    "Jax — "

    "I'm gone," he snapped. His voice echoed in the abyss. "Don't you get it? No one comes back from Abstraction. You're not saving me, you're not helping me grow. All you're doing is keeping my body from rotting." Jax's hands worked their way up to his head, squeezing as he growled, "You're talking to a ghost."


    or, a post-canon fix-it fic, featuring the De-Abstraction of Jax. It's messy and it takes time, but it's never too late to try.

    Summary

    This fandom has me in a chokehold. Also loosely inspired by "If I Can't Have Me, Then No One Can." By HouseofWack & To Stay Gold by kalpea_varis (fromo)! Please go check them out too!

    Jax is spiraling fast after the favorite character awards and unlike the others, nobody really wants to try and catch him. He would rather self destruct alone than try and reach out. He was so assured of himself that he was fine and if it was the end, then he was going out without dragging anyone else with him. Or so he thinks.

    Summary

    Arthur knows he's dying, can feel the unstoppable pull of it, feels the spirit appear behind him to take him along. And yet, he finds he does not want to die. There is so much that went wrong, so much he regrets and he wishes, with all his being, he could change it. Could at least ensure those that managed to get away really make it out alive.

    A second chance, he asks, begs, really. Just give me the chance to save them.

    The being behind him pauses and Arthur can't look away from the moment he's frozen in, staring at the dark mountainside, aching to see the sun rise just one more time.

    One chance, the spirit seems to whisper, voice satin soft. Make the most of it.

    Summary

    “Kinger, I… I experienced something terrifying today.” Pomni murmurs, and it’s a wonder that Kinger can hear her.
    “What happened?” Kinger whispers, and his voice is so gentle, so… fatherly, that it takes every fiber in the woman’s body not to break down in sobs.
    “I… I had a seizure.” Pomni’s voice cracks at the honesty of it.

    CW: Detailed depictions of seizures / When it seems as though Pomni is beginning to adjust to her new life and body in the circus, a distressing new symptom comes into play, forcing the woman to conquer fears and physical torment beyond what she’s experienced before.

    Summary

    After Jax pressed the wrong button, everyone is -now more than ever- doomed to remain imprisoned in the circus.

    Something snaps inside Zooble's head that day - it's HIS fault, all of this, they having to endure their life inside this horrid and fake place, where nothing is real, nothing sitcks. Everyday everything resets, this is not real, this is not even life.

    But the moment Zooble and Jax fought... something felt nothing like the circus, it felt real.

    That wrong and sickening feeling of being held in a world where nothing matters, nothing is permanent and pain is the only proof of existence keeps creeping inside Zooble's mind, but not just inside their mind - Jax's too. It's not right - but at the same time... it's so fitting.

    Summary

    It's been a few months since the group has escaped the circus, and things are going well, for the most part. They've got jobs, hobbies, relationships, and they've all jumped back into life with more vigor than ever before. It's good. Almost. Jax thinks that's a sign, in a weird way, that perhaps all of this isn't as worthy as it seems. That he's not as worthy. Not that it matters.

    And so, on one random Sunday night, Jax decides he's going to take his own life.

    Or
    Author wanted to write a character study about Jax coping in the real world while also learning to see himself as a person.

    Summary

    "We were so worried, we heard you—" Ragatha starts, and then looks up. She meets Jax's gaze dead-on, and goes silent. Tears brim in the corner of her eye. Her hand flies up to cover her mouth. He can't tell if the look on her face is relief or fear.

    Gangle's staring at him like she's seen a ghost. Pomni slowly raises to her feet, brows furrowed. She winces as every movement jars her wavering form.

    Cowered on the floor, panting, confused and disoriented, with everyone standing above him, taller than him… it reminds Jax of something deeply unpleasant. They're all staring at him. They're all seeing him.

    Jax knows they're not going to like what they see.

    His breath quickens until his head is spinning, and he feels like he's going to vomit. He forces himself upwards with a frustrated cry, swaying in place, and then turns and bolts towards his room as fast as he can.

    "NO!" Pomni screams.

    (or: pomni pulls jax back from the brink.)
