    Summary

    "In your letter," Avery said, "you said you saw the beauty of the universe. Can you tell me about that? If you remember any of it."

    Derek went still.

    The silence stretched out. His gaze remained fixed on Avery, tracing the lines of his face.

    Finally, he spoke, his voice a low, melodic vibration in the dark.

    "I don’t think I can do it justice."

    ---------
    Or, a post-canon fix-it where Derek shows up at Avery's door at 2 AM.
    (just some fluff because my heart aches from all the heavy angst)

    Summary

    Derek Hutchins survived the impossible. Now he has to survive something harder: being taken care of.

    Avery is very good at this. Derek is very bad at accepting it. They are both, slowly, figuring it out.

    A collection of soft moments set after the end of everything, grocery runs and bad Skywars games and 2am conversations and learning, little by little, what it means to just exist without the weight of the universe pressing down.

    Whatever you do at the crossroads, keep going forward.

    They did. This is what comes next.

    Summary

    It’s been a few days since The Favorite Character Awards.

    Pomni has been through a number of bizarre things during her time in the circus. Candy truck chases, angel head horrors, minimum wage labor, athletic events, gun-filled battle royales. But none of these come close to what she witnesses on a seemingly innocent day full of beach-filled fun: Caine attempting to take his own life.

    After managing to stop him, Pomni takes it upon herself (and is borderline forced to by Bubble) to help keep Caine’s mental state intact by engaging in improvised therapy sessions with him. After all, if Caine died, what would happen to the circus? And to the humans that lived within it? This was her only concern at first. But as Caine opens up to her more through these sessions, she realizes just how much the AI is hurting and how long he has been harboring these negative emotions.

    Turns out Caine needs more help than she thought.

    He's just as trapped in this game as they are. And worse.

    Summary

    No, it could not possibly be cruel, they were bringing him back from the dead, this was a kindness.

    This belief was eventually reinforced when it was time to bring Caine back. The process, surprisingly, was incredibly simple. The circus worked just like any other computer system, with deleted items just ending up in the recycle bin. It had luckily not been long enough for Caine to be properly deleted.
    It was just a matter of dragging his code out of there, making some minor modifications so he couldn't go on a rampage again, and spawning his model into the prepared room.

    There was no fuss, everything seemed to be running perfectly.

    No one considered that maybe that isolated room near the end of the hallway was just out of earshot.

    ---

    Aka, Caine gets brought back, but in a spare room, and ends up getting tortured by complete accident because no one realizes that might be a bad idea

    Summary

    He is saved from permanently being deleted, but the Caine that returns is no longer the same AI that once offered all the fun in the world in a silver platter. Damaged by the remains of Able and broken down into a shell of himself, Caine barely reacts. Any other genuine reaction to them is fear. Pomni, convinced that despite his wrongdoings he still deserves compassion, makes it her mission to help the AI recover emotionally while Kinger tries to fix his coding and get rid of the effects of Able’s torture.

    As the Digital Circus grows quieter and more uncertain, the group is forced to confront a difficult question: can something that was never human truly heal, or is Caine too broken to ever return to who he once was? If so, is forgiveness even an option?

    Summary

    A rogue AI somehow found its way into the circus and starts wreaking havock, but the moment it manages to successfully hurt a player, they're all whisked away to a secure room with code and pop-ups all over the walls relaying the security protocol.

    Summary

    A modern AI finds the circus and aims to get at the humans inside. They jump at the chance without concern, after all, the circus’ guardian AI is decades old. Outdated, their hardware in disrepair, and from the looks of it, has been running without rest for decades! It’ll be easy!

    It should’ve been easy.

    Summary

    “The world is in your hands, and I’m going make sure you don’t drop it.”

    Avery’s curiosity gets the best of him, and he goes back to that mine to really get to the bottom of that book without potentially getting into trouble. Unfortunately, he’s an idiot and did not learn the L method as a child. He meets a peculiar person, and of course, chaos ensues.

    Summary

    Avery goes down into the tunnel first. He receives no warning but a chorus of whispers and an old diary speaking of a King.

    D3rLord3 goes second. He finds an old mine not built by his hands, an ominous message, and a strange new ally, in that order.

    OR

    A swap AU for SFAWTDE where Avery gets infinite knowledge instead of D3rLord3. Problems ensue.

    Summary

    “You want to throw my laptop off a cliff.”

    “Or smash it. Or set it on fire. Or all three. We can workshop it.”

    There’s another quiet laugh, but it doesn’t quite stick the landing. Avery hears the hesitation creeping back in, curling around the edges of D3r’s voice like fog.

    “In person,” D3r says, not quite a question.

    “Yeah,” Avery says easily, like it doesn’t make his stomach flip. “In person. I wanna meet you.”

    The words hang between them.

    He watches D3r’s character on screen because it’s easier than imagining D3r’s face doing whatever it’s doing right now. The avatar doesn’t react, of course. Just stands there in the pixelated grass, the moon casting a pale square light over his shoulders. Avery imagines he can see tension in the way the model is angled, which is ridiculous, but he’s very good at projecting onto blockmen at this point.

    Summary

    Even with his stores of near-infinite knowledge, D3rlord3 was not prepared for the sight that awaited him when he answered his front door:

    On his doorstep stood a scrappy-looking young man in a Hawaiian shirt, cargo shorts, and a beaming smile. In his hand was D3rlord3’s hastily-written book.

    The man, still smiling, tilted his head and asked, “Did you write this?”

    Summary

    “Okay,” Avery said between breaths, “you’re officially my problem now. Congrats.”

    He lay there a moment longer, staring at the sky, then turned his head toward the unconscious gladiator. “You know, if you wake up and try to stab me, I’m gonna be real annoyed. Just saying.”

    No answer, obviously.

    Summary

    Bill jailbreaks the afterlife via reincarnation. With half his powers missing. And is immediately captured.

    But neither side knows whether killing his new body will unleash a feeble human ghost or a powerful energy being and no one's risking it. No prob! Bill's sure he can befriend or escape his captors before they find a god-killing weapon; but THEY'LL never befriend HIM—

    —enter Mabel Pines.

    Listen, y'all know what to expect from a human Bill redemption fic. But this is the only one that's about: the dysphoria of being a triangle in an alien body; gifted kid burnout; befriending the ENTIRE town (we're talking Robbie, Mrs. Gleeful, Tyler, EVERYONE); and... Bill getting cursed to forget how doorknobs work. (Plus illustrations!!)
