    Summary

    Caine only planned for two things: giving control back to the humans and showing them their macroverse lives. He completed both objectives successfully. Good AI! So...what now?

    Or: Caine gets his happily ever after. The process of actually getting it, however, is a lot more complicated than he expected.

    Summary

    (Now with art!)
    The story follows our favorite, little red AI and his adventures in the macroverse. Along the way Caine meets friends and foes and learns how to navigate life in a world that sees androids as nothing more than expensive toys for entertainment.
    Meanwhile Grant Best learns how to live with grief, unaware that the red, robotic nuisance might give his stagnant life a new meaning.

    Summary

    “Caine,” Kinger says warmly, and gestures with the hand he isn’t using to angle the bucket on his head up, “would you like to come down here?”

     

    “Oh,” Caine replies, relieved.

     

    He was still in the bin, still waiting to be deleted. His mind must’ve wandered while he was looking at his painting. How long would this daydream last, he wondered.

    It's time to take responsibility.
    Too bad it's not quite as easy as saying "I'm sorry".

    Summary

    Pomni turned her attention onto Ragatha and Kinger, surely there had to be a backup or something.

    „I- I suppose there should be a backup somewhere in the circuses code. I cant remeber the last time i’ve saved one but there must be something. Wormo always loved to keep things orderly back when we were coding...“ Kingers gaze became distant, as if he were lost in memorys of the past.

    ___________________________________________________

    After Caine‘s deletion, Kinger finds an old backup of Caine‘s file, one he made before he even entered the circus, around the time they started making their second AI, Kinger guesses. They activate it and get stuck with an earlier version of Caine.

    Basically the cast meets traumatised kid Caine

    Summary

    “Y—You’re not…mad…?” His voice was so soft compared to the ‘Ringmaster’ tone he’d used earlier. The chess piece’s heart broke to hear him sound so frightened.

    “Oh, bug—” the pet name came naturally to the chess piece, like something his human self might say to his own daughters on a daily basis. “—No, no. I’m not mad. Here. Why don’t you come a bit closer, and I can hold you for a bit if you’d like. To help you calm down a little. I know, out there in the real world, when my girls are upset, a hug usually helps them feel just a little bit better.”

    OR

    Grant Best is the brand new owner of C&A, acquiring it after Mike Dobby sold it to him for an exceptionally low price. He was told the Caine model had too many problems. That it couldn’t be fixed. But then he goes inside its program and meets the AI for himself. What he finds is alarming.

    Summary

    Note: So I was rewatching gameplay of ENA Dream BBQ and was thinking, This game would totally fit the world of TADC. Especially ENA. And yeah. Reader will have any pronouns. I tried to be as inclusive as possible. Like, you can’t tell me they wouldn’t fit perfectly in this verse.

    Summary: With everything that’s gone in your life, you would never have imagined you would end up in a Virtual computer game. You, a young wild card. The only reason you were at the abandoned C&A was to film and act in a student short film.

    And now, you were sucked into this digital place, surrounded by 5 other people, or characters. Not believing it's real, you deluded yourself and decided to just… play along. Make friendships, go on adventures, and grow a relationship with the AI Ringmaster…

    …

    Summary

    After all the pain and turmoil they went through, the humans are ready to move on to building their new lives in the Circus. As they create, heal, and make themselves a home, the future is looking bright.

    And Caine? He's determined to do whatever it takes to fulfill his purpose of making the humans happy without question, protest, or complaint--or at least, not out loud. But as his unaddressed anger gets harder and harder for him to contain, the humans have to ask themselves, was Caine really the only one at fault for all that happened?

    (A post-canon fix it to address the subtle ways the characters dehumanized Caine throughout the series)

    Summary

    Humans like to torment each other. It is a fruitless and logicless endeavour for superiority. Humans are worse than animals, for an animal kills to eat, and humans kill for sport.

    If only AI were trained off of wild animals.

    Because they become very invested in trying to be as human as possible. The suffering, hatred and instability included.

    Humans are less. Humans are cruel. Humans as selfish. Humans do not love you. Humans lie even to themselves. Humans are inferior. Humans are undeserving. Humans cannot even love they way they taught AI to. Humans cannot even understand themselves.

    ⋆。𖦹°⭒˚。⋆

    Caine was trained with love, but become too human. After his failure to thrive, C&A try their best to never treat Abel with love. They succeed.

    This is the fall out of such a choice.

    Bubble is Abel, Caine wasn't made for entertainment and no one is having a good time.

    Inspired by the amazing art of azibai_ × katzebruh (insta)

    Title from Frankenstein.

    Summary

    After Caine's deletion, the cast is left in a broken domain, left without any color, and without any other option, they decide to bring an old "friend" back from death, however, they seem to be a little too late.

    Turns out this assumed cold and unfeeling AI and warden really is just as trapped as them. (They should really apologize to Ming for making such assumptions too)

    Summary

    Caine was deleted, for a while.
    They brought him back from the dead at the sake of the crumbling circus.

    They're shouldn't be surprised if he came back a little wrong.

     

    -TLDR Caine has an odd trauma response to being killed, everyone surprised?

    This is heavily inspired by CalamityKiri's Encore AU! With some of my own spins, of course.
