    Summary

    A chain of unexpected events strands Pomni and Gummigoo. With no sign of immediate rescue, the two new friends set out to find the circus themselves, briefly stopping in Gummigoo’s supposedly non-existent village. The stay ends up longer than anticipated.

    It's just one part of a world crammed full of bank heists, saloon brawls, marshmallow six-shooters and dodgy mine hideouts, toffee trains, casino ocean liners and the occasional vicious gumdropbear, all dripping with literal sugarcoating that keeps the family-unfriendly implications around a PG rating. Most of the time.

    Pomni is tempted by the freedom to redefine herself and escape Caine’s presumed railroaded adventures. For Gummigoo, the map is painfully familiar yet absolutely alien, raising questions that he and Pomni might not be able to really answer. As time passes, the friends find the map, themselves, and their relationship changing for better and possibly worse.

    Unable to summon Pomni back, Caine insists to the rest of the Circus that long-term entrapment in an adventure won’t cause lasting harm to either program or its participants. It’s soon apparent that even the A.I. ringmaster cannot anticipate the consequences hurtling towards them.

    Summary

    Nobody could have guessed that the end was only the start of a new beginning. Nobody, including the girl who was now seconds away from reaching the last chapter of her current life: You.

    It had been a fairly normal day; wake up, go to whatever few classes you had, eat lunch with your friends, and then go back to your room to study and start the cycle over again. Only a couple of months from now and you'd be graduating with your degree and starting your adult life, which thinking about it now made the distracted driver hurtling your way seem like a cruel joke.

    That was how you died.

    Or, at least it was, until you found yourself alive and breathing again. And in the world of an anime, no less! Your second life, a life of endless possibilities and one to fulfill your deepest desires, had landed you in an anime. No castles filled with endless wealth nor fame beyond compare was waiting for you beyond the pearly gates, it seemed. No, instead you'd be fighting to survive among your fellow classmates... And yet you'd come to find that you wouldn't have it any other way.

    Summary

    The alien birds didn’t seem to know what to make of him. They must have been important if they were buying intergalactic pets and providing them whole rooms to themselves, but if Logan had ever heard of a human before, he didn’t let it show. 

    Humans were horrible, from what the smugglers had said, because outside of Earth-- their deathworld, was what they had called it-- they were stronger than most species, and a heck of a lot more durable. The humans who got to space fell to their worst impulses, got addicted to killing, or so beaten down they were desensitized to it. 

    Patton would never be used to it. He wouldn’t try to be, not even if his life depended on it, not when he remembered how those first aliens had crumpled like paper mache under the force of a few blows. That was why he’d ended up with the fish people in a reverse aquarium, for being so boring. 

    That was why he stayed still and relaxed when the birds came to visit him, and let Roman touch his face and arms when he wanted to, even though Virgil tried to stop him. He didn’t want the birds to be afraid he would hurt them.

    Summary

    He could either be himself in spirit or name; the two could never coexist.

     

    Paris, 1894. Virgil Arquette had one rule he lived by: he could never, never be himself openly, for society is not kind to those who are different and unashamed of it. It isn't a big deal, he's actually on the luckier side; he has a friend who cares about him, a home and a fair amount of wealth, a father who has not disowned him (yet), and his poetry, the one thing he loves, the one safe space where he can be himself.

    Then a ridiculously extravagant (and definitely not gorgeous) actor sweeps him off his feet and into a new world, one where he might have a place to belong. As he spirals deeper and deeper into Roman's world, he finds himself along the way - and learns that just maybe, life doesn't have to be lived on someone else's terms.

    TL;DR - They're disaster gays in love who try very hard to be pretentious. And to not simp for each other. They fail on both accounts, obviously.
