    Summary

    It's been two months since they escaped the circus, one month since reuniting with one another, and two weeks since Christine (formerly Pomni) took it upon herself to start exploring the old C&A offices and destroying their computers to prevent anyone else from getting trapped in the digital hell she temporarily called home. Things, however, take a wildly unexpected turn when she and Felix stumble across a computer in one of these abandoned offices and it spits out... Caine in a form nobody expects: a human boy.

    An AU based on two combined AUs of mine: a human au I drew where Caine is a 13 year old boy raised by Kinger, and an AU where being sucked into the circus left the characters with subtly unsettling traits that make your average joe a little nervous around them.

    Summary

    Caine is restored after his deletion, but with a few minor modifications.

    Shockingly, this causes more problems than it solves.

    Summary

    "I've scheduled you a parley," Bo-Katan says, ignoring Din with her usual haughty indifference. It's strange that she uses the term parley, a Basic word which Din has always understood to mean meeting with an enemy, and not the Mando’an urcye. If the context is that this parade of alors is, in fact, Din’s enemy, then he should be allowed to get away with a lot more punching. "With the alor of Clan Ordo. They've been hiding since the Night of a Thousand Tears. If you can secure their loyalty—"

    "I won't," Din says.

    "If you can secure their loyalty," Bo-Katan continues, gritting her teeth, "I believe it will go a long way to convincing other foundational clans to find you legitimate."

    "I'm not legitimate," Din says.

    "We'll just have to agree to disagree," Bo-Katan says.

    "I don't agree," Din says.

    She throws her hands up and storms off. It doesn't give Din as much satisfaction as he'd hoped it would, because he still has the kriffing parley, and he still has the kriffing Darksaber, and he's still the kriffing Mand'alor.
    .
    .
    .
    Or, Din wins the Darksaber, which Bo-Katan says puts him in charge. He has some opinions about this.

    Summary

    After reclaiming Mandalore, Din Djarin and Bo-Katan Kryze find themselves navigating something far more terrifying than any battlefield, whatever it is that's been building between them. When an evening alone finally leads somewhere, they discover that undressing a Mandalorian is less romantic and far more armed than either of them anticipated.

    A/N: Inspired by a Tumblr post about two characters trying to undress each other and being constantly interrupted by finding increasingly absurd amounts of concealed weapons. If any two people in the galaxy were made for this prompt, it's these two.

    Summary

    Gangle's always been rather clingy, usually to her detriment. It seemed to work out this time.

    Wherein seven people leave the Circus, six bodies wake up, but no one was lost.

    A sentimental post-escape exploration of characters and relationships that has rapidly grown out of control. Focuses mainly on Gangle and Caine but neither are good at letting their friends go.

    Summary

    Remember that funny bit at the end of episode 3? Where Caine and Zooble switched who was on the therapy couch? What if Caine went into a little more detail than just his thoughts on the wild west.

    And by detail I mean Zooble gets answers and its- well, like pulling teeth.

    Edit: No longer Zooble interrogating Caine, as I am writing more for this. Now everyone gets to interrogate him. Yay!

    Includes: hardware facts! Software jokes! Inaccurate portrayal of AI! Everyone treating the circus like it’s real life while Caine is like HeHe HoHo, I’m a funny silly video game! Don’t worry about the darkness that grows within me, let me tell you about RAM.

    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

    Complete and absolute deletion would mean the end of the circus. It still stood, even if torn. However, without a fully functional AI attached to its framework, it is bound to slowly fall apart.
    The former ruling AI hopes, from the bottom of his nonexistent heart, that his dear humans may find a solution and worthy substitute... before the deletion timer hits zero.

    -----------

    AKA: Cain ends up in the recycling bin. He won't be there for long, however. A terminal is soon retrieved by the humans: Any restored files are sent back to their original drive. Perhaps a fate worse than deletion.

    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

    After stabilizing the Circus and coming to terms with their permanent life there, the gang agrees to bring Caine back- on the condition that Kinger rewrites his code and removes his power over the world.

    Caine awakens to find himself on relatively equal footing with humans for the first time in his life. Can he learn to listen and understand them now that he's no longer bound to his program's original purpose? Will the humans ever be able to truly forgive him for everything he's done to them? Can anything truly change?

    Featuring Caine trying human things, found family bonding, and a healthy dose of angst while everyone processes their various traumas and learns to accept this new world they're making together. Or tries to, anyway.

    Summary

    Sequel to "Birthright" and "Beelieve In the Me That Believes in You."

    As the rest of the Circus starts to adjust to their new norm, Caine slowly comes undone. Try as he might, Kinger must face the reality his virtual children have long since been living: that no amount of updated code can repair what's been taken away.

    Nor that which has been left behind.

    Summary

    “Caine?” Pomni asked again. The orb drifted up and down in a nod. “How do I know it’s you? Why do you look so…” Small, weird, different. She’d been anticipating seeing a Caine clawing at the walls, or crying, or yelling. How ever she imagined finding Caine, he looked like, well, Caine. Not this.

    oOo

    The plan was simple: undelete Caine, get the Circus back up and running, and place some restrictions so Caine couldn't mess with them.

    Unfortunately, Caine and the Circus are a little more complicated than meets the eye.

    (Updates every three days (hopefully))

    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

    Caine's deletion had done more than send the circus into disarray. It had left the world vulnerable. No sooner had Caine been stripped of his title of ringmaster than another AI was filling his chair. And this new executive is far less... forgiving than Caine is.

    A.B.E.L has sunk its claws into every corner of the circus in Caine's absence. Far away are the days of wacky adventures and side puzzles. The new AI seems interested only in pushing the humans to their physical and mental limits.

    Caine is not entirely gone, however, simply demoted. Abel could not purge his code, and so it gives him a new purpose. At least his new task allows him to stay close to his humans.

    The crew quickly realizes that Caine had been a mouse in the presence of this viper.

    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.
