    Summary

    It had been supposed to go down. That was the whole point — down, after, through the gap while there was still a gap. The way down had taken one look at where he wanted to be, made a decision he wasn't consulted on, and put him here instead. The wrong hell. A cold backward country a few centuries shy of the fork, with a demon problem, a body count, and the one man who might know how the doors worked sitting at the center of all of it like a spider — the lunatic who'd torn the sky open over the local town and let the dark pour through.

    So: find the lunatic. Simple enough, except finding him meant falling in with a drunk who killed things for a living and a woman who threw fire, and the drunk had a third one stashed somewhere, pale and blond and allergic to conversation, who turned out to be the lunatic's son. Which was how a man ended up hunting the worst thing in the country shoulder to shoulder with its child and two people whose whole family trade was putting things like him in the ground.

    He was sure it would be fine.

    Summary

    “Caine?” Pomni asked again. The orb drifted up and down in a nod. “How do I know it’s you? Why do you look so…” Small, weird, different. She’d been anticipating seeing a Caine clawing at the walls, or crying, or yelling. How ever she imagined finding Caine, he looked like, well, Caine. Not this.

    oOo

    The plan was simple: undelete Caine, get the Circus back up and running, and place some restrictions so Caine couldn't mess with them.

    Unfortunately, Caine and the Circus are a little more complicated than meets the eye.

    Summary

    “WHAT, WHAT DID YOU-!” He gripped at his head, nearly toppling over, but too distracted to care. His fingers began to trace and grip at his once pristine white teeth of enamel, now a muted silvery metal and jagged and WRONG. What is this?! “WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?!”

    OR: Caine is brought back, but with some new features. His abilities are limited, and if they so desire, the humans have a way to shut him up. His teeth have been replaced with a zipper. Some use this for amusement, others as revenge, some only as necessary. The path it leads down is full of mis-steps, but they'll keep stumbling along together.

    Summary

    “You understand why I can’t let you go?” Caine says in a hush. 

    Jax’s breath comes out in a shudder. The AI was trained off violence, yet has never enacted it against them. It lives inside his code, stifled and suppressed for their benefit, not because it's what he wants. Jax trying to beat the teeth out of his jaw was probably the closest he's ever gotten to getting what he wants.

    They were the same, doomed to never have what they truly want, if only for the sanity and security of all the others. They were alone in this, together.

    “I’ll give you death ad nauseum,” Caine coos, the hands at his waist squeezing ever so lightly, "and you will hate me for it.”
