    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

    Caine decides to give the circus members what they've been asking for- More low-stakes, grounded-in-reality adventures. When they start to dislike his ideas again, however, he comes up with a new plan: To make an adventure so big and in-depth that the circus members can't help but love it.

    Summary

    She was staring at him for a moment. It almost felt like it was only the two of them in a void of nothingness, no platform, no tightrope, and no Amazing Digital Circus. Just the two of them.

    "Promise me you won't let go." She asked of him.

    "I promise." He answered her back.

    In The Amazing Digital Circus™, anything is possible! Except for two things:

     

    1. Swearing
    The Amazing Digital Circus is an experience made to cater for all ages.

     

    2. Dying

    Summary

    Jax fell to his knees, squeezing his eyes shut and covering his ears by pressing them down against the sides of his head; all in an attempt to shut out the horrors around him.

    But it was no use. The voice had infiltrated his brain. There was no escaping it.

    No escaping from what he’d done. What he’d caused.

    Summary

    What if Pomni had shot herself at the end of episode 6 (as we all expected)?

    Jax has done his best to put up as many walls as he could since Ribbit abstracted. How is it that this little jester has been able to break every single one of them down?

    Or

    Jax has a soft spot for Pomni 'cause he thinks she's adorable, but he knows that she deserves much better than him. He tries his best to avoid his feelings while sparing hers, but low-key loses his mind in the process. Don't worry, Pomni can find it.

    Summary

    You always need to see the signs. That’s something Jax learned a long time ago.

    With Kaufmo, it was easy. Everyone knew he was insane. Everyone could see that he was gonna abstract.

    With Queenie, no one knew. She was amazing at keeping everything down.

    Jax saw the signs early. He knew.

    So why was he so surprised?

    Summary

    Years ago, a now-defunct company known as C&A created a virtual reality video game called "The Amazing Digital Circus" featuring a highly advanced ringmaster guide. However, the game was boycotted and the project was scrapped when several beta testers mysteriously died while in the game. Not many details about these strange deaths are known, but rumor has it that the ringmaster AI within the game was responsible for the player deaths.

    In present day, a 25-year-old woman finds herself the victim of a kidnapping. A strange group of people force a headset on her and send her into The Amazing Digital Circus game to be sacrificed to the rogue AI ringmaster. With a new jester appearance, she finds a group of fellow kidnapping victims who have formed a group of survivors with the goal of finding The Ringmaster and killing him, believing it will grant them their exit from the digital world.

    However, one day, Pomni comes face-to-face with The Ringmaster himself. Or as he calls himself, Caine. And she realizes that...maybe the others have it all wrong. Maybe The Ringmaster wasn't the monster they believed him to be.

    What was the truth behind the deaths that occurred in this world? What were these...abstractions?

    Summary

    You remember back when the two of you were sitting out by the digital lake at night. No romantic gestures; No grandiose; No nervous sweats or shaky voices. You just suddenly felt like it was right.

    So you confessed that you liked him.

    And he said he liked you, too. A simple sentence with vulnerability attached to it, a thing you didn't point out as a way to keep him comfortable.

    The two of you didn't say anything after; You had went back in the tent a few minutes after, allowing Jax to walk you to your room before you went to bed. Nothing had changed, even after Pomni arrived, besides him frequently hanging out with you more and amping the nicknames a bit when you were alone.

     

    So why now?

    Why does he sound so accusing, as if you had been lying?

    Summary

    Jax wasn't always awful.

    A long time ago, he had friends. Two in particular: Gangle and Ribbit. The three of them were a family trapped in the digital hellscape together. Despite any hardships they may have gone through, they had each other, and that was enough.

    But when strange feelings that Jax doesn't understand begin to build between him and Ribbit, they are faced with many truths about themselves, each other, and the reality of their situation.

    This is the story of how Jax learned what it took to survive in the circus.

    Summary

    Jax had gotten used to hiding.
    Hiding from his problems, and hiding from whatever monster had replaced his best friend.
    His avatar was a prey animal for a reason, after all.

    TLDR: My take on the theory that Ribbit got abusive before he abstracted + What happens when Jax holds his breath.

    Just another "what if Ribbit was a jerk when he abstracted?" fic.

    Minor violence, I don't think it counts as abuse but just be weary and let me know if I need to add the tags.

    Summary

    Some of this is smut, some of this is what I genuinely believe will be covered in Episode 7. Read at risk of potential(?) spoilers(?).

    Caine gives everybody the ability to have sex without telling them because he's an asshole. Sex ensues.

    Summary

    The attacks keep happening.

    Jax is hanging on by a thread. An increasingly tenuous thread that’s threatening to snap at any given moment. He’s beginning to hope for it, if only for the pain to stop.

    And then there’s Pomni. Stupidly earnest and recklessly kind Pomni.
