    After the fight in episode 6 Pomni starts to really close herself off. While she didn't exactly believe Jax when he said they were never friends it still hurts, a lot. when she starts to notice a glitch on her arm here and there it only causes her to lock herself away more, not wanting to hurt anyone. she really believes she's done for when Jax gets into her room using his keys, having gotten worried when she didn't show up for a few days and manages to pull her from abstraction.

    aka

    I really wanted to write a fix-it fic cuz I love the suckers.

    Summary

    “Ah! Dish duty! Let’s see… who’s up this time.”

    Ragatha gave Kinger a gentle, knowing pat on the shoulder. “Kinger, we know who’s up. We all rotated it last week.”

    “No no, I want to do the reveal. Like a game show!" He cleared his throat theatrically. “Tonight’s lucky contestants areeeee… Zooble and Jax!"

    Summary

    “What would you do if I abstracted tomorrow?”

    Jax's voice was steady, yet a flicker of hesitation danced in his eyes.
    "I’d move on." He turned his head towards her, a slow and deliberate motion as he added, "And probably forget about you." He tilted his head slightly

    “Okay… Okay… I understand…”

    A low scoff escaped Jax's lips, followed by a soft chuckle as he turned back to meet her gaze. “Geez, you really can’t take a joke, can you?” His expression shifted as he blinked and surveyed his surroundings. No longer in the main area and Pomni had vanished from sight

    Summary

    Breath catching in his throat, he spins his entire body around to stare at it, locking eyes with the darkness that should not be there.

    It feels like gazing into the abyss itself.

    A phrase pops into his head, something about staring into the abyss. Or was it the void...?

    A neon eye opens in the centre of the black mass.

    It stares back.

    ------------

    Jax hides away in his room and thinks everything is fine. It's not.

    "... You're fine."

    Summary

    Following their fight, Jax begins to try to make Pomni hate him. But the Jester not only refuses too, she has her own plan: to force Jax into a situation were he is forced to admit he cares about her.

    Her plan: to force him into the role he's never wanted to cross into. The villain.

    Only, she's started a game where there are no winners. But perhaps by losing, these two can find common ground. Especially when they become closer than anyone, even them, could ever Imagine...

    Summary

    Caine had given the members of the Circus something they never thought they would have... but what if that little piece of information gave them more than what they had been shown?...

    Or

    Caine gives them something they thought they would never see again, and all the memories (good and bad) come flooding back?

    Summary

    Back in the real world, Pomni is trying to readjust to average, boring, completely non-amazing-non-digital reality.

    When she runs into an all too familiar asshole, she’s forced to fully confront what exactly the Circus is, the way it’s impacted her and her friends, and more pressingly: how it’s entered the real world.

    Jax and Pomni must hunt down the other four members of their digital squad, and quickly, as the new tech company ‘C/A’ is quickly making its way into the spotlight and spells out nothing but trouble.

    Summary

    "The funny one..." she muttered, her back still turned to Jax whose stomach was twisting in a weird sense of déjà-vu. He opened his mouth to say something, defend himself, go back on everything, apologize again, cry, anything, but she suddenly spun around to face him.
    "'The funny one', huh?" her usually melodic voice was taking on a more aggressive tone, "well, I'M. NOT. LAUGHING!" she yelled, hurling the block at the ground. Jax flinched and involuntarily took a step back, the knot in his stomach growing as he looked into her eyes and, oh...

    She was crying.

    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

    Pomni pulls the trigger, gun poised to her head-- and in that moment, Jax's carefully constructed world is shattered. Pomni and Jax are left to collectively contemplate the consequences of their actions as the thin veil of the circus's sterile interface begins to lift just for them, showing a much darker reality beneath the surface. They spiral into a maddened world which each step they take. Obscurity awaits if this corruption spreads, and the only way to survive this hell is by relying on each other as they try to discover the truth behind the circus.

    Summary

    The problem with Caine's AI was never his adventures... It was the fact that he was not human, it was an Artificial Intelligence.

    “Welcome to The Amazing Digital Circus!”

    “My name is Pompom!”

    “And my name is Jaxster!”

    The Circus has two new ringmasters! The cast of abstracted characters is back now that the remaining human case has escaped, their artificial intelligence is no longer that artificial...

    Summary

    Funny Bunny stuff. Not quite angst, not quite fluff. Mix of both really.

     

    Jax started to lose his memories. Not to the point of Kinger, but some things just began to slip. It started out slow and minor. He would zone out of some of Caine’s adventure monologues. Perhaps forget the centipede he left in Ragatha’s room, only remembering it once Ragatha yelled at him for once again digging into her worst fear.

    But it was getting worse.

    It seemed like after the argument with Pomni, he could barely pay attention to anything. He didn't WANT to remember anything. And that was just the case when he forgot what he exactly did to make Pomni think they were more than friends.

     

    ORRRRR

    Jax forgets that he kissed Pomni cus he a big dum dum

    Summary

    She could have done something. She knew that Jax was acting weird. She knew that any one of them could abstract.

    Summary

    It had been a long time since Jax had a nightmare in this place that wrecked him like this. Figures that the thing- well, person- to trigger it would be the circus’s new jester. She got too close to him, and now it felt as if she were haunting him. Pushing her away was supposed to fix it, but it only made him think about her more. She was like a plague to his psyche.

    Once he managed to steady his breathing, he got up and paced anxiously back and forth next to his bed. He knew it had only been a nightmare, a really bad one at that, but he couldn’t shake the anxiety he felt. A persistent, nagging voice in the back of his head was insisting that something was wrong. What if the nightmare was some bizarre sign that she was really suffering in her room, abstracting alone while he paced and the others slept? Or she had already abstracted, and it was too late?

    Jax has a nightmare where Pomni abstracts, and goes to check on her to prove to himself she's fine.

    Summary

    It's been a few months since the group has escaped the circus, and things are going well, for the most part. They've got jobs, hobbies, relationships, and they've all jumped back into life with more vigor than ever before. It's good. Almost. Jax thinks that's a sign, in a weird way, that perhaps all of this isn't as worthy as it seems. That he's not as worthy. Not that it matters.

    And so, on one random Sunday night, Jax decides he's going to take his own life.

    Or
    Author wanted to write a character study about Jax coping in the real world while also learning to see himself as a person.
