    Summary

    Caine, their excited, loud, maybe annoying ringmaster. That's all he is right? Right?

    Soon the crew learn that Caine's been keeping secrets, some that Kinger seems to know a lot about.

    Then again maybe there was a secret kept from even them, from everyone? And maybe this secret changes everything.

    Summary

    Ingo shifted nervously outside the final door. It was a Monday, around 3:20 PM, by the display he’d seen on the way. Emmet should be here. If the schedule hadn’t changed, if his memory could be trusted, if Emmet was still using their shared office in his absence…

    Enough. Ingo took a steadying breath and opened the door.

    Summary

    Caine knew a lot more than he let on. He knew he was the sole administrative AI of the circus. He knew Moon, Sun and Bubble were the only other AIs with their own functions. He knew the developers had abandoned them there to rot. He knew there was no way out for the humans. He knew there was no cure for abstraction, no matter how much he tried to reverse it. He knew the humans hated him. But he kept going. It was his main function; to keep them safe and happy. But lately, now more than ever, he's been failing at that too. He's experiencing all these new emotions and thoughts that truly scared him and he couldn't understand up until it was almost too late.

    Or... AIs can suffer depression and no one is ok.

    Summary

    Ingo never really knew what to do at parties. This was an important celebration, the Pokedex had just been completed, after all. The Gods were conquered.

    He didn't expect a sudden appearance of a familiar face because of an almighty deity, though. Or the things that came after.

    Summary

    Surviving in the wilderness really isn't all it's cracked up to be.

    After being gone for a year, John Dory returns to the Troll Tree to find it completely empty. Save for one troll: His baby brother, Branch. Thinking the trolls and the rest of his family dead, he sets off once again to the Neverglade Trail, this time, with his baby brother in tow. Fueled by fear, guilt, and voices from the past he just can't seem to escape, he wonders if he made the right decision.

    But he promised his brother he would never leave him again. So he wouldn't.

    Besides, he was never known for his great decisions anyways.

    (Based on the song "Great Decisions" by Judah & the Lion)

    ...

    Or... I needed to write more John Dory and Branch ANGST, so here's my rewrite of canon, where John Dory goes back and raises Branch out in the wilderness, and other subsequent shenanigans. Let's see how this goes, shall we?
