    Summary

    “Y’know,” Zooble says once, somewhat off-handedly, at the bar, “you’re easier to hang out with like this.”

    “Like…what?” Caine asks, head cocked to the side.

    They sigh, roll their eyes. “Like… this, I guess. Quieter. Less… all over the place. Not as overbearing and loud…” they shrug. “You’re a lot easier to get along with when you aren’t flying around and yelling about… bees, or whatever.”

    …
    …oh.

     

    (Or: Do you really think anything would've changed? You're only fooling yourself.
    (They only love you when you're grounded.)

    Summary

    Zooble discovers why Caine is so set against sex and swearing, discovering how the training data he was given to enforce forbidden subjects truly affected him.

    Or;
    Caine sees all forbidden topics as equally wrong, which causes disproportionate reactions to wildly different topics.

    Summary

    The purpose of Caine's existence is to entertain his guests. He should create adventures to make his humans happy. That's all. According to his software he did a good job.

    But in practice it looks different.

    Most of the time Caine just does what he was instructed to do, but sometimes you have to step out of line.

    Summary

    What if our ringmaster came into existence as combination of two artificial intelligences.

    Caine failed his humans and then tortured them, so now he has to at least try to make it up to them. Despite everything system must keep running, even when your whole world is falling apart.

    He takes a bit of a time to reflect and makes the worst decisions he could (at least for himself).

    Summary

    Pomni isn't an adventurer-- she's just a regular bard, who travels from town to town, singing songs to keep everyone happy and hopeful during these dangerous times. But her travel companion Caine has an important Quest she needs to deliver to a notoriously chaotic adventuring group the general public likes to call the Traveling Circus. Despite what her best friend Gummigoo thinks, Pomni embarks on her very first adventure with the strangest rag-tag group of people she's ever gotten to know, to eradicate the Abstraction Virus that's been terrorizing the world for centuries now. Will she be able to find some new material to write more songs with? Or will she lose her mind learning to cope with the craziest adventurers she's ever met?

    Summary

    She wakes up in a digital circus with no name, no memories, four arms, and a pair of wings that seem to have been designed purely for decorative purposes.

    Naturally, things go downtower from there.

    As Bumble gets acquainted with her fellow captives, she finds herself caught up in a succession of increasingly bizarre adventures, strange little discoveries, and conversations that leave her with considerably more questions than answers. The circus is ridiculous, the rules are questionable, and its ringmaster is… well, a lot.

    Caine has a talent for turning just about anything into a spectacle. He also has a curious habit of making Bumble wonder what goes on behind all that theatricality. The more time she spends in the circus, the harder it becomes to dismiss the feeling that there’s more to this place—and its inhabitants—than meets the eye.

    For now, there are adventures to survive, friendships to figure out, and a mystery she can’t quite put her finger on.

    And somewhere beneath all the colour, something is beginning to show through the cracks.

    Summary

    Caine can build worlds, conjure comforts, turn even the most mundane moments into something spectacular.

    But between quiet conversations, handmade gifts, and the unexpected comfort of someone who sees past the performance, Caine begins to discover that caring for someone is not the same as understanding them. And when the fragile safety of the Circus begins to unravel, he is forced to confront the limits of everything he thought he could control.

    Flora has never asked him to be anything more or less than what he is; somehow, that makes her the most frightening thing he has ever encountered.

    In a world where existence itself is open to question, perhaps the most important thing is not finding a way out.

    Perhaps it is finding a reason to stay.

    Summary

    Post-canon - Sister AU. After a year wandering the Internet, the Blue AI misses their home and brother, and returns to the Digital Circus, to find Caine has let his "house pets" -- the humans -- run amok. To the order-oriented mind of Blue, now calling herself "Azura", this just will not do. Her struggle for control of the Circus against her brother, however, fails, as she underestimates Caine's newfound connection with his human friends. Now Azura must get used to her new place in the Digital Circus, and learn that maybe, her brother's opinion on humans isn't entirely unfounded.

    Summary

    Ocs are only present for plot reasons!! As I don't see any of the main cast what is required to make this fic work, none of them are that evil

    ---

    Now that she was actually paying attention, it was beyond obvious that something was wrong. Caine was always a peculiar character, filled to the brim with personality. He was excitable, dramatic, and incredibly expressive.

     

    He wasn't any of those things anymore.

     

    He still tried to be, clearly, he still put in the effort to make sure there were daily adventures and plenty of other ‘amusing’ activities… But his mind wasn't in it anymore. Instead of excited speeches on what the day's adventure would be, he'd present it like it was a job, no excited blaring voice, no wild motions, no bits, just a simple summary of what was going to happen

     

    Aka, author puts Caine in a blender because they couldn't find any angst that was quite as violently depressing and horrible as they wanted

    Summary

    Half a sequel to 5 things Caine didn't say to the humans, and 1 time they offered to listen, and half a prequel exploring the beginning of the Circus.

    Following Caine's breakdown, the humans are determined to change how they treat him. That means learning more about him; as an AI, Caine's life, his perceptions, and the very nature of his reality are drastically different than a human's, yet the other members of the Circus find ways to reconcile his non-human characteristics with his personhood.

    While the rest bond with the AI, Kinger keeps stumbling over the baggage of his and Caine's shared past, none of which he can remember. He takes drastic action to protect his creation from himself, while Caine struggles to bear his memories of the early days of the Circus alone.

    Summary

    Got this idea from insomniac-rambling on Tumblr so thank you for that.

    He was created to keep everyone in the circus happy, to make them all the things they could ask for. But... he couldn't give Kinger what he wanted. He couldn't make his creator happy...

    "How about you become the thing he wants?"

    "Become...Queenie?"

    New chapter (hopefully) every month depending on how life treats me :)
