    Summary

    "Don't do that with my face."

    "What? Wear a genuine smile?" Ragatha smiles wider just to spite him.

    Jax leans leisurely back on his elbows. "You and me both know that smile is fake as [dolphin-sounds.mp3], dollface".

    Or,

    That one obligatory bodyswap fanfic every fandom needs.

    (Can be read as romantic or platonic)

    Summary

    Jax feels empty and overwhelmed all at the same time after recent events. So he does what he knows best; push it down and out to everyone else. What he didn't expect was for that to backfire in a near deadly way.

    Alternatively,

    It takes almost abstracting and pushing everyone away for Jax to realize that something needs to change.

    Summary

    “-she's a f[%$!#]g human too you-”

    A strained noise crossed between a scoff and a laugh peels itself from Jax's chest and belts out his throat.

    “What?” Zooble hisses.

    Summary

    EPISODE 8 SPOILERS - do not read before watching it

     

    After Caine's deletion, the circus begins to fall apart and the cast realize they cannot live in a world like this. Ultimately, they hatch a plan to bring Caine back—with some permissions modified, of course. Caine, after having a crisis, begins reparations with the cast.

    However, it doesn't go right.

    OR:

    Caine tries to make friends and fails horribly.

    Summary

    Kinger mumbles an affirmative under his breath. The sound of scratching on paper grabs Caine's attention, only just noticing the notepad in the other's hand. He watches the pencil dance across the paper, slightly entranced by the movement, until it stops and Kinger's attention is back on him. "Alright. What's the last thing you remember?"

    Nothingness. The absence of himself. A moment that never existed, yet he knows the time passed, so something has to be there. Even if it isn't. Even if he wasn't. He thinks this, and comes up with a response that makes sense with the context he has in his mind. He doesn't compute how it will come across when all he has to say is:

    "Nothing."

    OR:

    Caine is dead. Then, he isn't. Not because the humans wanted to see him again, not because they felt bad, but because the circus couldn't survive without him. To top it all off, he was only brought back to begin with thanks to one teeny, tiny little condition:

    He can no longer use his powers.

    Summary

    Cat's out the bag. Or is it that the rabbit's peeled from the yolk? ...Something like that.

    Jax spirals.

    Or...

    "His skin is crawling. He grabs his arm like a lifeline, gripping an overall strap to know it’s still there, hasn’t been peeled off and he’s not naked and he’s not there because none of this is real—

    Except it is.

    Jax chokes in a breath. He tries not to be so painfully self-conscious of how he’s shaking."

    Summary

    “Pomni?”

    Jax's voice is low again, face turning entirely her way, and she only then notices how close he is to feel his breath against her skin. Hands still far apart.

    “You mentioned not liking being forgotten,” he recalls, eyes drifting down to his hands. 

    She nods. “It hurts.”

    “What if that person… the one who forgot you, wanted to forget?”

    To be forgotten and afraid is Pomni's greatest fear. Post the events of their ringmaster's death, she seeks out someone who might understand.

    Summary

    The eyes are everywhere.

    They hover in the shadows as Jax passes, spawn from random points on the walls, blink up at him from the bowl of soup Ragatha hands him at dinner. He catches one staring from his peripheral vision, sees it pulse green and pink and yellow–colors so vivid his head aches long after he averts his gaze.

    No one else reacts to their sudden appearance, which is weird, sure–but so was everything else in the circus. Maybe this was just one of those things it was easier not to think about, like the fact that he looked more animal than human these days, or that at any moment one of the cast could mutate into a hideous monster and beat Jax within an inch of his digital life. Again.

    Whatever. Jax can work with that. He’s great at not thinking about things.

    What if Jax’s whole 'addressing the audience' bit had a little more truth to it than he lets on? Pre-canon.

    Summary

    “It's… he pulled them,” Jax blurts.

    Pomni blinks up at him, uncomprehending.

    “Your… ears?”

    Jax nods, swallowing back the bile building in his throat.

    “Pulling them hurts?” Pomni guesses.

    “You… he pulled them until I–” he sucks in a breath, letting it out in a shaky exhale. “I'm not… It's like a costume, Pomni. He tore it off.”

    Jax grapples with the aftermath of the torment nexus.

    Summary

    As per usual, Jax is doing fine. He's certainly not bothered by the reevaluation training. No, in fact, he's very well adjusted. Absolutely peachy. Caine's next adventure won't bother him at all, too. Trust him--Jax is always doing swell.

    (Jax is traumatized from reevaluation training (he won't admit this). Caine cooks up an even more traumatizing adventure. Jax is totally fine!)

    Summary

    "Caine was gone.

    "It had been quick, the deletion. Jax hadn’t even realized it until Kinger had walked up to all of them and told them the news. Seeing him go had been odd; one second he was there, full of pent up rage and bruised ego, and the next he had just.. Disappeared.

    "Jax was supposed to be happy, wasn’t he? The pain, the torture, all of those cruel adventures were over. But throwing the AI in the trash bin once and for all didn’t feel any more like a win than it did a stalemate.

    "The circus had dimmed and parts had fallen apart, all until the place had looked like a toxic wasteland: bleak and devoid of color. ‘Finally,” Jax tried to crack a joke to himself, maybe because he couldn’t bear the gaping quiet standing in the room and needed someone to make it seem better. ‘An exterior that represents its true colors.’

    "Frankly, Jax didn’t know what to do. None of them did".

    OR

    After Episode 8, Jax abstracts. He's confused when he wakes up to a very much alive Caine congratulating him on being the newest member of the circus.

    Time Loop fic (Jax) set after the events of Episode 8.

    Summary

    (Formerly known as "Ground Circus Day")

    Jax finds himself in a time loop after going on Caine's latest adventure. At first, he thinks this is the funniest thing ever and exploits it to his fullest ability. However, as time goes on, or rather repeats, Jax finds it more and more difficult to keep his sanity as he is forced to repeat the same day over and over again while everyone else seemed to forget.

    Will Jax be able to break out of the time loop before he completely loses it?

    Summary

    Everyone has one. Gangle with her mask. Zooble with her parts. Even Pomni and her little jester hat. But Jax is a rabbit, and sometimes those rabbit-habits come out when he least expects them to.

    TL;DR - Each chapter is about how each character figures out a rabbit habit Jax has. Don't know how many of these I'll do because this is purely for my own entertainment.

    Chapter one? Ribbit and Jax find out about Jax being able to purr

    Summary

    Jax is fine.

    Completely and totally fine.

    He's fine when his best friend suddenly becomes aggressive and turns on him. He's fine when he starts pushing everyone else away. He's fine after fighting with Pomni when she claims they're friends. And he's sure as hell fine when he locks himself and his room, slowly beginning to abstract.

    Jax's world is coming down around him and he struggles to admit that he's lost control, that maybe he's never been in control.

    When he started to abstract he didn't expect to wake up. He didn't expect the rest of the circus to suddenly be rallying with him after everything he said and did.

    And he definitely didn't expect that he might finally have to admit, to himself and everyone else, that he's not okay.

    (OR: After episode 6 Jax starts to abstract. The gang finds a way to stop it but there are… consequences. Jax is forced to think about his past and becomes angry at the idea that he once again could be hopeless. But is he really?)

    Summary

    Jax stumbles, feet slipping and sending him crashing back against Kinger in his attempt to stand. And then he feels himself being lowered. One of Kinger’s hands supporting the back of his head, the other placed flat against where his shoulder blades would be, Kinger kneels, laying Jax back down on the floor. Kinger’s hand gives way to a softness against Jax’s head - at this point, he’s too dazed to even have a reaction to figuring out Kinger’s propped his head in his lap, the old hack’s hand brushing his ears like locks of hair.

    Jax stares up at the ceiling blankly, eyes wide as saucers and pupils little more than pinpricks.

    “…Will you forget me when I die?”
