Summary
A figure stands before him.
Carlo flinches, startling at the sight. He instinctively takes a step back, feet slipping over scattered cards. He fumbles on the floor for only a moment before scrambling to his feet, upright once more, eyes racing to find whatever lay in the darkened corner.
Before him a figure dark and looming stands, its eyes a piercing lance, its face a mirrored reflection of Carlo’s own.
Carlo stares up at the figure. The puppet called P stares back.
***
Carlo is enjoying his new life, free from the past. But when P returns, Carlo begins to question what's truly real. How can the broken puppet be here now? And what revelations will his appearance bring?

Summary
“Romeo,” Carlo said softly. Romeo couldn’t help but be entranced by the way Carlo’s eyes met his, a warm brown instead of a piercing blue, to marvel at the fact that the two of them were somehow sitting together in the ruins of the opera house. That they were together at last.
***
Carlo pieces Romeo back together on the floor of the Opera House. But is this Carlo the one that Romeo remembers?

Astro has done it. He saved the city. The crowd cheered as he woke up and they cheered as he hugged that man—that man he called father.

***

Summary
"Bart Allen really could do anything.
If there was anyone, anything, that could find a way to cheat death, and come back, it would be Bart Allen. Because he had done it so many times before, Preston resolved hopefully.
"Bart Allen, he's our man, if he can't do it, no one can," he mumbled to himself softly, his vision getting lost in the paused memory of shimmering pixels. "You hated that so much, asshole."
The silence of the room choked him and Preston hit play on his tape again and got lost in the memory from over two years ago.
"Asshole. Come back. You always came back.""
When Bart Allen died his identity was revealed to the whole world, and in response the town of Manchester decided to host a memorial of its own for the hero that made it his home. Preston Lindsay being well known as Impulse's friend is invited to deliver his eulogy.
There's only one problem...

Summary
Caine already knows it's status. He still received all the error reports, despite being unable to fix anything. Seeing it shouldn't make it feel worse, but it somehow still does.
His beautiful circus - his wonderful creation full of colour and noise and fun - is dull. The brilliant reds and yellows are dim reflections of themselves, and the entire map has a lower saturation than it should. There's large tears in the hitboxes of the walls, floors and ceiling, dropping into out-of-bounds areas that players shouldn't be able to see, let alone access. The gentle hum of background noise he keeps up for the daylight hours is gone, and everything is quiet except from the shuffles from the humans.
Talking of his humans, they're all there too, tense, standing a decent ways back from him.
"Oh great." Jax growls, "He was actually down there."
-------------
Despite being freed from his box, his performers still haven't reconnected him with the circus's main systems.
Caine's very being is entangled with the circus, and being cut off from the majority of himself is so disorienting he can barely focus on the glares his cast is giving him.Series
