    Summary

    The world where there wasn't a brain scan, where humans were dragged into a computer against their will... it's not a world with happy endings. And when the humans are ejected from the Circus, missing one of their own, they don't just get to go back to their lives. There's hospitals, and police, and desperately trying to be believed, followed by just as desperately trying to be left alone. But the one thing they have is each other. They have each other and that's never going to change.

    TADC AU – Non-SOMA, Escape the Circus. Everyone is insanely codependent and the way they got out was so traumatizing they can barely talk about it. Pomni tries her best to hold everyone together, while also getting re-used to a life outside, and wondering which world was actually better.

    MAY become Gangle/Zooble and/or Jax/Pomni if it goes on long enough, but most of the fic is focused on their platonic found family bond. MULTIPLE Trigger Warnings, both tagged and untagged; untagged will be labelled at the top of chapters. Viewer Discretion Advised.

    Summary

    A week.

    That's how long it takes to delete Abel. It's... Surprisingly easy, with the AI barely having a grasp on the circus code, it doesn't take much.

    ...

     

    A week, is all it takes for him to break Caine.

    Summary

    Her being perceived as something impercievable. As Zooble put it, some kind of anomaly floating in the sky.

    '…and exist only in concept. She didn't want to be tethered to this body anymore.'

    "Rags?"

    Like a puzzle piece fitting in place after finding too many similar pieces that never worked.

    She breathed. She smiled.

    or, Ragatha vs. her identity, alongside friends she has and lost.

    Summary

    Luck is when preparation meets opportunity. The chance of the meeting scales with the number of trials.

    Post-Canon players who are maybe being meddled with just a bit.

    Summary

    “Wretch,” I cried, “thy god hath lent thee—by these angels he hath sent thee
    Respite—respite and nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore;
    Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe and forget this lost Lenore!”
    Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”

    ~~~

    Dear Jax,

    Why do I begin all these letters with "dear Jax?" You weren't dear to me at all! You were an insufferable, insensitive, unlikeable, violent jackass who had absolutely no interest in changing. But I guess part of me assumed you'd give it up some day and get better. I don't know why, but the idea of you not getting a happy ending never felt real until you were already gone.

    . . .

    Or, Jax's abstraction hits Zooble a lot harder than they were expecting. They don't know how to explain this, not even to themself. At Kinger's suggestion, they attempt to anyway--through letters. They think it's stupid and pointless, but something makes them keep writing anyway.
