Summary
Ep 9 Spoilers!
That moment when all you want to do is apologize to the people you tortured during a mental breakdown, but an eldritch being of laughter feels like setting you down in the middle of the universe's center of entertainment for the lulz.
Tldr: Caine is not having a good day, might have to figure out how to navigate a planet of "fun" to survive, AND still needs to make that apology.

After Ragatha helps Caine through a low point, he suddenly designates her as his assistant. She tries to use the position to improve things for everyone in the Circus, but Caine isn't allowed to give them everything they want. In the course of getting to know him better, she might have found a way to bypass those restrictions. But it could be dangerous when he's mentally unstable and becoming more obsessed with her by the day.

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 files don’t really work like that.

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?

Felt-sama Faces An Uphill Struggle by Exstarsis (Re-Zero)
An interesting interpretation of a relationship that doesn’t get attention all that often, so it’s fun to see how intimacy would work with the dynamic the two share. It helps that both, especially Reinhard, show so much personality, that the smallest of details help to further flesh out their characters and help make the typical banter the two engage in so witty and entertaining.

Raise the Curtains by Zeivira (Re-Zero)
A bleak look in at a possible world that failed to rise to overcome the challenges ahead. Reinhard’s POV is hard to read, the weight of his perceived failures utterly crushing in its intensity. Subaru and Reinhard’s conversation, though brief, hints at a history that can only be felt, never to be recounted.

Only a group of rag-tag characters pulled from all facets of society can save the day, but are they ready for the adventure? They may be able to pull it off, especially when they learn the one thing that they share.

Summary
CAINE/OC Following Kaufmo's abstraction, the system recognizes a critical failure in The Amazing Digital Circus. An emergency override initiates the creation of a new AI designed to interpret human emotion. Incomplete and lacking the data it needs to function, it begins analyzing the correlation between human emotional responses and the system’s core entity—Caine. Primary Directive: establish a bridge between human emotion and Caine to stabilize human data.

Summary
Post ep 7
Caine isn't trying to hurt his humans, he really isn't. They're HIS humans after all. They belong to HIM. He loves them so so much and he just knows that they love him too.
They have to? Don't they?
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
After the disaster that was his adventure in Episode 7, Caine decided that enough is enough and it's time to show his darling stars just how much he loves them. He'll do anything to show his humans how devoted to them he is and how devoted they should be to him!
But the more he falls into this obsession, the more the souls trapped in the Digital World begin to fear they may never leave and that their jailor has a whole darker side that fills them with both fear and longing.
Let's see where this leads, shall we?

Summary
. . . . . . . . . . . .
“King had no time to dwell on it, however, as he typed in the last line of code and pressed enter. By now, everything was unstable. He could even feel himself shake and glitch out (it felt almost like his skin was being torn off and put back on over and over again). The computer put on a loading bar, and he watched it go forward before reaching the very edge and stopping right before completing.
‘[BOINK!]’ he cursed as he reached out and shook the console.
The bar held still for an agonizing minute, in which Kinger could feel his insides being mixed up, a painful, nauseating feeling, but he held his ground and kept his eyes locked onto the computer screen.
‘For the love of God please,’ he said and smacked it with his hand. The bar finally moved and dinging sounded, not only from the computer, but from seemingly everywhere around him. The glitching stopped, and Kinger breathed a sigh of relief as everything stilled.”
. . . . . . . . . . . .
Or, alternatively:
What if Kinger had not accidentally killed Caine?

After weeks of trying and failing to fix the Circus, or at least make it livable, Kinger convinces the others to let him pull Caine from the recycle bin and have him fix their world.

PRESS RESTART by ThaliaDahlia (Teal_Individual)
Fandoms: The Amazing Digital Circus (Web Series)
14 Jun 2026

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
So fun fact: I actually outlined this entire fic before I even considered doing that reader-insert. If you’re new here, welcome, I hope you feel comfortable to expand your palate. If you’re following my Caine x Reader, welcome back! This takes place in a separate timeline and will not be in second-person or include the reader character. This work will not be touched without taking care of the other fic first, don't worry. I need this outlet to avoid writer's block. Lmao.
UPDATES: Sundays 10a-2p PST (when possible)
FORMAL APOLOGY: No RoyalTeeth in this one I’m sorry. I can’t do it. I can’t ship Kinger with anyone but his wife.
Beyond the first chapter, each chapter will be a character-specific hookup with Caine so you can pick and choose. Each chapter will have specific kink content warnings in the author’s note.
