Summary
“Name is ♪♫♬♪♪♫. They analyze eridians, and their behaviours. How they live, what they like. They want to do this with Grace, too, like the doctors, but differently. Talk to Grace the Person, not the Human”
“An anthropologist,” I realize. “I think that’s what you mean." Apparently, he likes my word, because he doesn't push further.
chat, it was not an anthropologist
or; One would think that not being in a life threatening situation would be enough to start taking life a little more easy. Landing on Erid was supposed to be his happy ending. It's not as simple as that.

Summary
“Robot,” Yào calls out. “How long — how long was I asleep?”
The robot whirrs. “You have been in a medically induced coma for — one hundred — eighty — one — days,” it reports.
Yào’s not as quick at theoretical maths as Dr. Grace or Ilyukhina, but he’s pretty handy with the normal stuff. One hundred and eighty-one days is … just shy of six months. He runs the numbers again, counts them out slower in his head. It’s the same result.
It’s not enough time. It’s not nearly enough time. It’s not even enough time to be completely out of their fucking solar system.
Yào wakes up early.

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?

Summary
When Caine creates Bubble, it is unknowingly with the same code that was once a part of the blue AI he absorbed. Little by little, Bubble remembers, and learns to hate. But striking against Caine as he is now will only end the exact same way it did before.
So Bubble learns to be patient too and waits to enact his revenge. To one day take control back, and show Caine who should really be running the show.
However, despite himself, there are times were Bubble finds himself pitying Caine too. There are times where he hates him less and indulges in his antics, so long as he gets to get up to his own. It’s a long journey to get his revenge and Bubble doesn’t hate all of it.
But none of that matters, until it does.
(Or Bubble is Abel. He tells himself he hates Caine and dreams of a day when he finally gets to pay him back for everything he did, but his feelings may not be as black and white as he thinks they are.)

Summary
Kinger mumbles an affirmative under his breath. The sound of scratching on paper grabs Caine's attention, only just noticing the notepad in the other's hand. He watches the pencil dance across the paper, slightly entranced by the movement, until it stops and Kinger's attention is back on him. "Alright. What's the last thing you remember?"
Nothingness. The absence of himself. A moment that never existed, yet he knows the time passed, so something has to be there. Even if it isn't. Even if he wasn't. He thinks this, and comes up with a response that makes sense with the context he has in his mind. He doesn't compute how it will come across when all he has to say is:
"Nothing."
OR:
Caine is dead. Then, he isn't. Not because the humans wanted to see him again, not because they felt bad, but because the circus couldn't survive without him. To top it all off, he was only brought back to begin with thanks to one teeny, tiny little condition:
He can no longer use his powers.

Summary
“S'not your fault that—”
“—I hurt you,” Susie finished. She chewed on the concept, the edges of her voice frantic, her throat thick. “Because you deserved it.”
“Yes.” Kris pressed her hands against their chest. They smiled in a way that failed to be reassuring. Each desperate breath shuddering through their lungs confirmed everything Susie didn't want to know. “S’fine. It’s okay.”
Kris burned like a charred pan straight out of the oven, or an oil fire stoked by liquor. Susie reeled away. “You—you were trying to set me up,” Susie accused, trying to edge words around the chasm opening in her gut. “You were trying to get me to hit you.”
Kris wants Susie to hurt them. They need her to hurt them. Susie isn't as on board with the idea as they are.

Summary
Susie is holding hands with a boy. Noelle wonders why she’s dreaming about this.
Susie falls to her knees and clutches Kris’ limp body and she keeps holding hands with the boy, the boy that looks like Kris’ brother. Noelle thinks absently that this is a scarier dream than she’s ever had, and that Kris’ blood is matting in Susie’s hair as she tries to find their heartbeat.
Then Susie stands up, and Noelle knows with absolute certainty that Susie is going to kill her. Kris’ face reflects in Susie’s axe as she swings it back, and in the split second before Noelle blacks out, there is still an expression lingering on their face. Relief.
or; what if Noelle stepped off the switch in snowgrave.

Very few people are lucky enough to be born knowing their purpose. But well, Ralsei isn’t sure if he counts as a person.
Very few people are lucky enough to be born knowing it’s all bullshit. But well, it’s beginning to feel less and less like bullshit and more like Susie should keep getting out of bed in the morning. On time, even.
Very few people are lucky enough to get a second chance. But well, Kris’ second chance is feeling more and more like a noose, and they’ve been given just enough rope to hang.

Summary
In any other world, things would have proceeded normally. You've seen it before. The Roaring Knight creates a fountain within a fountain, the fountain births a Titan, and you guide Kris, Susie, and Ralsei in defeating it. But this is not any other world. This is a world of the written word, where stories bend to match the text, and Words speak louder than Actions.
And so when the Knight creates that new fountain, in a room filled with books, those stories come to life. You find yourself as the audience to this brand new tale, your ability to interact and affect outcomes reduced to almost nothing. But almost nothing isn't literally nothing, and you are nothing if not determined...
__
Susie falls into the world of a book she's never read, landing in the role (and body) of The Dragon, secondary antagonist and general nuisance to the Heroes. (Un)Fortunately for everyone involved, she already knows what role she's meant to play in the story, and she's not about to let something like "truth" or "planned story arcs" stand in the way of that. After all, she needs to find her friends, get home, and save the world. If she has to save this one in the process of getting there, then that's just what she'll do.
