    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

    While everyone waits for the next inevitable adventure, all power in the circus suddenly cuts out— Wait. How is that even possible when they are in a video game?

    Nevermind that. Maybe it's just one of Caine's unpredictable shenanigans.

    Unbeknownst to them, their eccentric ringmaster is actually not feeling well. Can AIs even get sick? How is that a thing again?

    Caine can't let his favorite little humans see him like this!

    Summary

    Jax stumbles, feet slipping and sending him crashing back against Kinger in his attempt to stand. And then he feels himself being lowered. One of Kinger’s hands supporting the back of his head, the other placed flat against where his shoulder blades would be, Kinger kneels, laying Jax back down on the floor. Kinger’s hand gives way to a softness against Jax’s head - at this point, he’s too dazed to even have a reaction to figuring out Kinger’s propped his head in his lap, the old hack’s hand brushing his ears like locks of hair.

    Jax stares up at the ceiling blankly, eyes wide as saucers and pupils little more than pinpricks.

    “…Will you forget me when I die?”

    Summary

    "I'm GoInG tO PuT yOu FrEaKs In YoUr PlAcE!"

    Caine's emotions exploded— Kinger never imagined that would be possible. The AI was programmed to simulate human emotion for authenticity, but for him to genuinely experience them was not what was ever anticipated.

    Caine is hurting. Caine is angry. Caine is malfunctioning, and he is violently lashing out at everyone. Kinger is fast at work, battling against Caine's code to try to stop his turbulent rampage. Everyone is depending on him.

    Only, he had been discovered, and Caine doesn't understand. He doesn't understand. Why is his favorite human hurting him? He doesn't understand. He doesn't take his actions too kindly.

    "Sometimes…the hardest decisions we have to make…involve the people we love."

    ***

    Or: While everyone is is subjected to torment, Kinger is discovered with the console in the pillow fort.

    Summary

    And then he could hear them moving closer and it was weird because he didn't intend to move his avatar, but he was stumbling backwards before he computed why. His back's impact with the wall behind him made them pause again.

    "Was that..?" Pomni whispered.

    "Be careful." Kinger spoke back, just as quiet, "He's broken out from here before."

    Caine's arms felt itchy - and that was idiotic because he was a machine who didn't feel itchy - and his eyes were buzzing between his jaw, and he slowly slid his hands across the hitbox of the wall to feel less wobbly on his feet.

    ---

    The humans find Caine in his box
    They're expecting a raging, revenge-ridden AI who curses them for trapping him away - however accidentally it was. They're expecting him to order them to let him out.

    They aren't expecting him to beg.

    Summary

    Ohhh, David realises as he gets handed a plate. Okay, I got it. He was surprised that Bobby’s son hadn’t come up when Michael first mentioned his children given how much emphasis he put on the positive co-parenting relationship their family unit strived to maintain. But then again – Buck was obviously much older than Michael and Athena’s two children if he had a child the same age as Harry. The step/co-parenting dynamic would clearly be completely different than it was with May and Harry.


    Or,


    The one where David is determined to prove that he’s in it with Michael for the long-haul, and that includes accepting and caring about the children of the Grant-Nash household. All 3 of them.


    (And Athena and Michael laugh more than they have in months, Bobby is sheepish, and David learns a bit about chosen families).

    Summary

    Irritated, Eddie clenched his fists, starting to turn around. "Why would Buck be eating with us - "

    The words died in his throat along with the shatter of the mug against the floor. But Eddie barely noticed he dropped it, his mouth slightly agape as he stared at Buck, took in the bruises, and the blood, and general brokenness of the man before him.

     

    ***

    Or: After the Lawsuit, Buck is starting to think his team will never forgive him and is feeling lonelier than ever, when his dad shows up, looking for money that Buck doesn't have. Now, his ribs are broken and his face has been pummelled into one big bruise. All he wants to do is retreat to his empty apartment and wallow in his own self-pity, but before that he needs to get his keys, which he'd left at the station the previous night.

    Everyone else is on shift, so he's hoping he can sneak into the locker room and be gone before anyone notices he was there, but this is Buck, so of course, nothing goes to plan.

    Summary

    Buck doesn’t think that if he were to say, “I’m in a bad place”, that anyone would turn him away. Really, he doesn’t. The 118 has too many good, kind people for that.

    But every time he wants to open his mouth, to say something, to reach out to Eddie or Bobby or Hen or Chim, he hears Eddie yelling, “you’re exhausting.”

    —you’re exhausting, you’re exhausting, you’re exhausting—

    So each day he does his job and he laughs and he jokes and he pretends he’s the care-free goofball he’s always been. And each day he packs away his bruises and his worries, takes them home to his empty loft with its quiet rooms, and licks his wounds in silence.

    “I’ll stay with him for a bit,” Jay offers, trying to keep his voice level. He doesn’t want to tip Cam off that he’s in over his head.

    But apparently Cam sees right through him.

    “Are you sure?” Cam asks. “Sick people aren’t really your thing.”

    Jay scoffs. “I think I can handle the sniffles.”
