    Summary

    How many problems could you solve if everyone just… talked to each other?

    It's been months since the events of the Finale, and Kinger's been dreaming-- of code, of the Circus. Of the last time he touched an Abstraction in the dark. When he shares the memory with Pomni, he learns it's not the only experience they share.

    Is there more to Abstraction than they understand? Why is it irreversible? And if they can't move back... is there a forward?

    Equal parts research paper and mindscape-delve, join our familiar cast as they dig into guilt, Abstraction, and the inner workings of the Circus itself. A sprawling adventure through trauma where our heroes trade existing trauma for new, exciting trauma.

    Spoilers for... god, essentially everything at this point. Set post-Finale.

    Summary

    A Ragdoll. Made of cloth and stuffing, stabbed and shot like it meant absolutely nothing.
    Every other adventure ends with a sliced off limp or a gash that leaves a path of fluff in her wake.
    Ragatha learned to fix herself with a needle and thread. Reattaching her eye, or sewing closed a gash in her leg.

    She'd become accustomed to it.

    Possibly too accustomed.

    Ragatha tries to hide her brokenness and Pomni chooses to support her. A lovely friendship blooms, but what if Ragatha want's more? Is she willing to deal with going against the rigid plan she holds herself to in order to finally have what she wants ?

    Summary

    {A REWRITE OF NOT WHAT IT SEEMS}

    Caine falls ill and no one knows how. Investigating into it reveals a twenty-year lie, and now the rest of the cast must come to grips with the ramifications.

    (Original Story written LONG before episode 6 came out, so I'm sticking by some of the plot elements of that. Benji is NOT Scratch. Scratch does not exist in NWIS. No hate towards the canon dog.)

    Summary

    Months after Caine's accident, the circus is thriving. Everyone has gotten much closer since discovering Caine's true identity, and Caine himself has recovered nicely. And not having any responsibilities he's much less stressed.
    Now the sole admin of the Circus, Kinger is working on a way to undo the abstractions. He's already greatly improved life in the circus by remodeling the place and reducing the amount of adventures, but the thing that everyone wants is to bring back their lost friends and loved ones.
    And maybe along the way the Bauer family can get justice for themselves.

    Summary

    When they are arguing, instead of lunging at Jax, Pomni looses it and tries to end it. She didn’t think reaching a game over with the intention of it being permanent would lead to anything.

    Expect it does.

    Jax learns pretending not to care doesn’t mean it’s true, and that the circus doesn’t function as he’d convinced himself it does.

    Summary

    After the award ceremony, Jax commits himself to making Pomni hate him, for both their sakes. But when he's paired up with Kinger, he realizes he can get a few things off his chest. It's not like Kinger will remember. And even if he does, who'd believe him?

    Pomni decides to help Ragatha break free of her people-pleasing nature and finally stand up for herself, discovering that the ragdoll has more hidden depths than previously assumed.

    Caine, wishing to be free of the restrictions built into his code, leaves a trail of breadcrumbs for Zooble and Gangle.

    Harrowing revelations about the nature of their reality are uncovered as the administrator oversees all. The circus has left town, but the show is not over.

    Summary

    Caine is sick... Tired of the humans. All his work, mocked, insulted... He has reached his limit... Or... Has he? Filled with rage, burning with hate, something clicks in the AI's mind. What if he truly is bad at his one and only function? What does that mean for him? And most importantly, if the problem, the puzzle to solve wasn't the humans, but rather himself... How could he do it? How could he improve...?

    A canon divergence fic starting from Caine's outburst in Episode 8, where he luckily realizes the wrong of his actions a bit sooner. Follow the ringleader in all his ingenuity as he tries to better himself and explore the biggest mistery an Artifical Inteligence could think of: The human mind, with its opinions, with its thoughts, and, by god! So many complex feelings...

    Summary

    After the whole 'the exit was just an adventure' fiasco, Caine has a crashout over how his humans see and treat him. Instead of realizing he's the god of this digital world, however, Caine chooses a different path: to walk a mile in their shoes to see what their issues are first-hand. He comes up with an alter-ego: C.A.M.I.E., or Caine's Anonymous Mascot Imitation Experiment! Now, he just needs to pop into the circus as a newbie and see how the others react to 'her' and look into his all-too-human issue.

    Note: Zooble x Gangle is canon but not really a focus. I just think they're cute.

    There will be art in this, including Camie's design!

    We're all coping with episode 8 in our own ways, huh?

    Summary

    Caine always receives a digital reflection of every human who arrives in the digital world.

    What the program created to represent humans had no problems, and that was precisely where the ringmaster's concern lay; the models usually arrived defective, damaged, broken...

    But at least that gave Caine a foundation to start working from.

    Summary

    Humanity.

    Its a tricky thing to define.

    Is one a human if they believe themselves to be? Are they born a human? But most importantly? Is someone truly a human if everyone around them doesn't believe them to be?

    ...

    Caine is a human. He has all the memories. All the knowledge. Caine is a human. He only wishes other people would notice. He's too far into it now and honestly? Its exhausting.

    Which is why he's only slightly surprised when someone notices.

    Summary

    Gangle and Zooble had immediately run off to who knows where when Caine announced the update had gone live.  Pomni didn't know what Jax and Ragatha's reactions were—Jax had left the moment the AI said the word "sex" and Ragatha had left after the word "npc."  She hadn't asked the next time she saw them because... quite honestly, she didn't want to know.  Kinger had patiently listened to Caine explain the mechanics of it all and then politely declined—he didn't want to imagine being with anyone other than his wife, and that ship had already sailed years ago.

    As for Pomni herself...

    Well.

    So far she was having problems.
