The Issue with Stochastic Gradient Descent and Other Computing Terms that probably shouldn't be Mapped to Real Life by Anonymous

Summary
Pomni wasn’t really sure what to expect when she threw her hat in the ring for Operation: RETRIEVE CAINE. All she knew was that someone had to do it, and she sure as fuck didn’t think any of the others would do it.
The entire thing hinged on the hope that his file still existed somewhere in the bin since for some reason, Kinger couldn’t just find the file directly from their new computer. Some explanation about indexes and file corruption that went over her head- but because of this, someone needed to be deleted and dropped into the bin to interact with him and hopefully get a file reference to him, so that hopefully, when they’re brought back, he (or at least something Caine-adjacent) gets dragged back as well.
Hopefully.
God, this is beyond fucked.

In a last-ditch attempt to stop the circus from falling apart, Pomni gets sent into the bin to retrieve Caine, which, if everything went well, should restore functionality to the Circus. It should be fine, probably- it’ll be just like some convoluted high stakes adventure! Easy-peasy lemon-squeezy.It’s too bad computers don’t really work like that.

Summary
Pomni was feeling increasingly desperate and found herself debating the merits of trying to seduce the AI god of the circus. She could suffer in a sexless purgatory for eternity or find something enjoyable to do. Specifically Caine. No, wait that was a terrible idea. Unless?
Caine was entirely too exhausted when he found himself developing feelings he knew he shouldn't be having, but he'd found a thread of connection, and damn the consequences he'd take it-
Oh dear. That was quite a few more errors than he expected.
tldr; Caine can have an ounce of self awareness (to his detriment) and Pomni is just happy to get laid while she clings to sanity (and makes mistakes)

How a Little AI Got a Little Crush by mentally_ill_author_in_a_trenchcoat

Summary
The circus members had started to notice that something was different with Caine. Sure, he always acted unpredictable and in unusual ways, but that was just it— he was starting to become predictable! Predictable, in the sense, that whenever the circus's newest addition (a certain jester) offhandedly mentioned something, it was almost immediately in their next adventure! And that's not to mention all the glances, comments, glitches, and buffering that Caine had been experiencing. No, Caine wasn't being subtle about it. At least, not to the rest of them. But to Pomni? To himself? It would be a miracle if the thought even formed in their heads.
Or, I wanted an excuse to write some Showtime, because it's my crackship of the month. So here's a reimagining of TADC where Caine meets Pomni, and something inside his code shifts, and even if he doesn't understand it, it seems the others do. Mostly lighthearted fluff and hurt/comfort, because after that last episode we need it

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.
