    Summary

    YOU BETTER RUN

    When Jax abstracted, he expected nothing beyond that. He expected a void to take him and to stop existing. He didn't expect to wake up in a suburban city. In the Macroverse. The real world. What's a suicidally depressed immortal cartoon rabbit supposed to do in a world that would hate and fear them? Survive long enough to become a better person. Maybe make amends. Perhaps even find her real self.

    This is a story exploring various aspects of Jax's character that I find interesting and relatable, including: Self-Hatred, Self-Harm, Masking, Internalized Bigotry, Body Dysphoria, Running from consequences, Martyr complexes, Social Isolation, the kindness of the human spirit, and how people outside of societal norms are treated by those in power. And probably more.

    Co-written by my close friend Daisy.

    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

    It began with an alert in his email inbox- somebody had altered some code he wrote.
    Not a particularly unusual notification for Grant to get, considering he had been a computer scientist for more than three decades. It was slightly more unusual, however, considering the notification said that the code had been modified by Grant himself- something he had definitely not done- and also considering the system being altered had been shut down more than eighteen years ago.

    From: C&A - LOCAL [HQ]
    ALERT !
    [1337 /usr/ai/agent/caine] DELETED.

    ...What the hell.

    Or: Six people have been living their normal lives, entirely unaware of the copies of their consciousness trapped in a brightly-colored digital hellscape. That is, at least, until said copies escape the Circus, and six people wake up with both sets of memories, determined that the family they formed in a very different reality is one they will find again.

    Summary

    Even if Victoria couldn't be a Parahuman—couldn't be a Hero like the rest of her family—she still wanted to help.

    And when she failed to, when she made things worse, she needed to get away. Clear her head, reset, and spend enough time brooding that she can figure out where to go next. One night out to center herself, and then she'd be okay.

    Days later, Victoria Dallon comes back from the dead, half of her memories are gone, and she's not alone.

    Summary

    “You said goodbye already.”

    Pomni whirled around to face Zooble. “What?”

    Zooble looked right at her. “Pomni. You gotta let him go.”

    Her chin quivered, and tears threatened to spill out.

    She raised her head resolutely to meet Zooble’s eyes.

    “He didn’t want to go.”

     

    Pomni decides to find out if she can still communicate with an abstracted Jax.

    Summary

    If Jax really didn’t care, he would watch on eagerly as she pulled the trigger on herself. Hell— he’d probably even laugh. Cartoon logic— she’ll give him just that.

    Pomni takes a deep breath. “I understand.”

    Disturbingly calm, she turns over her shoulder. She presses the barrel to the space between her eyes, and pulls the trigger.

    The circus, and everything in it, goes dark.

    ---

    Instead of Pomni fighting Jax in episode 6, she shoots herself.

    Or, the gang goes camping!

    Summary

    The shattering of glass above her screams danger as she throws herself flat in the gravity stream to look up at what's causing such a ruckus, only to see two silhouettes and a storm of jagged glass from the shattered window shooting her way.

    Time stills. Looking up at the glare of the midday sun, now unshielded by the sunroof, Agott's eyes strain, and yet she perseveres by peering through at the shadowy figures looming above. One petrifying thing about their forms comsumes the air in her lungs as she readies herself to scream, a silent plea running through her mind for her mother to hear, some fifty floors away.

    “Brimmed Caps!”

    Summary

    Lord X strikes a deal with one of his victims: she’ll serve as the Archivist of his decaying digital realm—repairing and organizing its collapsing code, gathering and registering data from his twisted games. In exchange, he’ll allow her to exist in both planes of existence: during the day, he will share in her mind, observing the human world through her eyes; when her consciousness drifts, she will return to her vessel in X's world.
    This transactional pact soon becomes an unexpected, toxic companionship.

    Summary

    The Masquerade is ending. The Affini Compact has arrived. The monsters of the World of Darkness are about to learn what it means to be loved.

    Alice Ashpool has been a vampire for eighteen months. She's survived Portland, the Second Inquisition, and a cult that has burned its devotion into her chest. She's not sure she's survived herself.

    Marcus Whitmore has ruled Seattle's Kindred for decades. He's seen empires fall and the Masquerade hold. Now the affini are offering peace, and his subjects are starting to wonder if maybe, just maybe, the monsters can stop fighting.

    Valeriya is the Sword of Caine. She's lost countless warriors to the Gehenna War. The affini are waiting for her to come home. She'd rather walk into the sunlight.

    The world is ending, but maybe, for the first time in millennia, something better is beginning.
