Summary
Caine is brought back from deletion with limited powers and the belief that his emotions and judgement only lead to harm. As a result, he turns to the C&A "script", a program that forms company approved responses for conversations, and doesn't allow his emotions to impact his response.
He wasn't meant to run the show anyways. He wasn't meant to have emotions either. If he just says his lines, maybe everything will be okay.
Right?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alternate universe where the circus itself was created by C&A, but Caine consumed the other AI, and ran it in his place.
I may make a Tumblr to explain AU details, cause it's kinda a lot.
Chapters updated weekly.

Summary
The Creature Power Suits were a brilliant and powerful attribution to science. They also had the potential to be an even greater weapon. Aviva always took steps to ensure they would never fall into the wrong hands, but no one could ever have predicted this.
Or:
A new villain ends up on the Wild Kratts' radar and he's determined to harness the powers of the CPS. The fact that they are too unstable to be operated by anyone besides the two people they were designed for is a minor obstacle.

Summary
No, it could not possibly be cruel, they were bringing him back from the dead, this was a kindness.
This belief was eventually reinforced when it was time to bring Caine back. The process, surprisingly, was incredibly simple. The circus worked just like any other computer system, with deleted items just ending up in the recycle bin. It had luckily not been long enough for Caine to be properly deleted.
It was just a matter of dragging his code out of there, making some minor modifications so he couldn't go on a rampage again, and spawning his model into the prepared room.There was no fuss, everything seemed to be running perfectly.
No one considered that maybe that isolated room near the end of the hallway was just out of earshot.
---
Aka, Caine gets brought back, but in a spare room, and ends up getting tortured by complete accident because no one realizes that might be a bad idea
((NOT ABANDONED!! author is just busy))

Summary
“Come in?” Grace called out, unintentionally making it sound like a question.
The door creaked open, a man poking his head in. He glanced around the room before his eyes finally landed on Grace. “Sorry to interrupt, but I’ve gotta lock up soon.”
“Oh!” Grace stiffened slightly, smiling apologetically. He began to cram his things into his bag with a little more urgency. “Yes! So sorry, I was just packing up. Give me a few seconds and I’ll be out of your hair.”
“No rush,” The other responded evenly, opening the door fully. A dog’s furry little head poked out from between his legs when he did. “Looks nice in here.”
“Thank you! It’s amazing what a few hours and some tape can do.” Grace chuckled, trying not to look too delighted by the pup’s surprise addition. “I’m Grace, by the way. I’m taking over for Professor Dubois while he’s on sabbatical."
“Simon,” The man said in response before looking down at his companion. “And this is Laika.”

Slice of life / Modern(?) / Teachers AU, where Grace is a new science teacher and Simon is working as a security guard whilst hiding from... something.

Summary
He panicked. She was going to force him on that ship. If anything happened he would be the back up and he would have to go to space; he didn't want that. But she was right, he didn't even have a dog. So yeah, yeah he panicked a bit. He panicked and threw out the first excuse he and his little brain could come up with to get out of this.
“I’m in a relationship.”
~~~
Dr. Ryland Grace does not want to go into space. Under any circumstances. Simon Fischer just so happens to be the man he threw under the bus to avoid getting sent up there.

Summary
Grace is unprepared for the level of love that all of Erid seemed to have for him. It was vaguely terrifying, but also.... nice? To be cared for. To be wanted.
It gets worse when they find out the circumstances of him ending up on the Hail Mary.
When his declining health necessitates a trip back to Earth, he is faced with a planet that loves him so fiercely and wonderfully that it finally starts to break through his crippling lack of self worth and bloom into something incredible.
And Earth? Earth has to deal with an Erid that is polite, protective, and most of all, pissed.

A week.
That's how long it takes to delete Abel. It's... Surprisingly easy, with the AI barely having a grasp on the circus code, it doesn't take much.
...
A week, is all it takes for him to break Caine.
(Or, when Caine gets deleted, and the circus starts to collapse, a new AI takes Caine's place and he isn't so quick to forget that Caine absorbed him) Based on the Backup Au

Summary
With one Artifact in their possession, the Traveling Circus follows Caine's clues to the location of the next. There are a lot of firsts for Pomni: first time sleeping under the stars in an Abstraction-infested world, first time traveling miles by foot only, and first time adventuring... without Gummigoo there to cheer her on.
As she begins to get to know the party better, one member continues to puzzle her: Jax avoids every and any interaction if it doesn't have to do with the quest. Following some guidance from Kinger, Pomni, as curious as ever, makes it her personal mission to find out more about this ranger.
Advice isn't the only thing Kinger gives her, either: it seems like he's familiar with whatever location they're headed to.

Summary
Two summers ago, the Pines family met perils and terrors beyond anything they could have imagined. Through near death experiences, painful losses, and days of just plain weirdness, their bond had become something unbreakable. Healed, a little, even. The Stans had sailed many a sea, the twins now lived in the shack happily, and Soos and Melody had joined onto their little family. Things were certainly looking up.
... That was, until a familiar set of golden eyes appeared under their floorboards, stranger and more pathetic than ever. Something was different.
The nightmare had come back to haunt them. And the worst part? The nightmare had a bad therapist.
