    Summary

    After Caine's torture of the players, he returns to sanity and manages to stay for a little longer than in the show, time enough to express the horror and regret of his own actions.

    But still, the deletion happens, and the players are left in a broken circus now filled with voices echoing all of their regrets.

    All is not lost, though, as Kinger realises that maybe they can still be saved; the key to getting the circus back is, of course, rather obvious. Caine is needed.

    Summary

    Zolf is the owner of Hope & Smith café and bakery. Wilde is a journalist. And they’re… friends? Yeah. Friends. And one night, Wilde stumbles into the café just before closing time in desperate need of just that—a friend—and sets off a chain of events that will change both his and Zolf’s lives, as well as the lives of those around them, forever.

    Featuring disabilities both visible and invisible, the many different forms of magic and love, and the mortifying (but necessary) ordeal of being known.

    Summary

    The trip to the safehouse took over seven hours – four and a half hours spent on a train from London to Edinburgh, twenty minutes spent in Waverly waiting for the next train, forty-five minutes spent traveling from Edinburgh to Stirling, nearly an hour huddling under a cold and drippy bus stop in Stirling, then a final forty-five minute bus ride to the small and unassuming town where Basira thought they might be safe – and Jon did not sleep for a single minute of it.

    He couldn’t, even if he’d wanted to. His nerves were utterly frayed. It felt as though his body had been stuck in fight-or-flight mode from the moment he’d found Martin’s tape, and nothing – not the gentle rocking of the train, not the soothing silence of the late-night air, not the fact that Martin was curled into the seat beside him, hand still loosely wrapped around Jon’s even while he slept – could convince his body that the danger had passed.
