    Summary

    "Volo," said Tav.

    "Would taste like blackstaff wine," Astarion said. "Boisterous, bright, and unbalanced."

    "I like that," said Tav. She was sprawled on cushions, sorting through their supplies for dinner. "Different from the namesake, but it works. Your turn."

    "The hag," Astarion suggested.

    "Oh gods," said Tav. "That's an interesting one. Something that starts lovely, but with an awful surprise. Elverquisst, but there's a rotting fish at the bottom of the bottle."

    ----

    A troupe-master bard is plucked up by the Nautiloid. She transitions from directing plays to directing an adventuring party and becomes immediate chaos-gremlin-besties with the rogue. This has a number of almost disastrous consequences and involves far more talking about feelings than any vampire should reasonably be expected to do.

    A story about a bunch of traumatized people becoming better, because that can happen when you find yourself in a new place and suddenly have a support network.

    Summary

    After Caine returns and normalcy moves into the Amazing Digital Circus for the first time, the humans (and Artificial Intelligences) grapple with their feelings about those they lost. The friends and frenemies who couldn't cope with the strain of this digital world and fell into themselves, and the memories (and giant lovecraftian horrors) they left behind.

    But as time passes and tender gestures are exchanged, what was thought to be only one-sided consolation for those who grieve slowly seeps into the inky abyss of the final abstraction. Somewhere in there, a little chicken fetus might one day be ready to break out of her shell.

    Summary

    “Maybe there’s still time to fix him if we get Caine!” - Ragatha, Pilot/Episode 1.

    Abstraction wasn’t unstoppable immediately. It didn’t break you all at once without notice, it grew and grew, from within until it reached the surface. Once in full effect it was irreversible, but like all things that grow, it could be cut short before it blooms.

    Or

    What if Pomni had pried a little more? What if Jax had managed to hold on just a little longer? What if that made all the difference?

    Summary

    Pomni— no, Penny— wakes up, disoriented in a hospital bed. As she grapples with being back in reality, she is relieved to find the other members of the Circus were taken to the same hospital. As they recover from the bizarre ordeal their bodies and minds went through, they are finally given the chance to get to know each other during their hospital stay. Or at least, this time, with their real names and faces.

    Summary

    Pomni’s life has always been less than ideal. As a result, she sought out something fun and exciting to help cope with her buckets of problems. The last thing she really expected was for her thrill-seeking behaviors to get her trapped in digital hell.
    Then, she made the mistake of getting close to someone. Someone she probably shouldn’t have—with a big red flashing sign that said ‘Don’t befriend me I’ve got major issues!’
    Oh well, at least it was the worst of her problems and not a rogue AI with his wires crossed and a series of strange and frightening nightmares… right?

    ARC ONE - COMPLICATED FEELINGS: 1-???
    ARC TWO - ???
    ARC THREE - ???

    A post ep. 6 slow burn storyline. The point of view switches between Jax and Pomni, but it’s mostly Pomni-centric. Usually updates somewhere around every other week.

    Happy reading, friends!

    Summary

    Months after giving up all hope on them, Pomni enters the pillow fort to find... Jax.

    But not the one she remembers. A new one. One with softer eyes, happier features and a big red bow on one ear.

    Jax has to figure out what the fuck to do. Because they are a girl now. And weirdly okay about it.

    Also: Jax has her egg cracked by God and has to find a way to cope after being abstracted for months.

    Summary

    Jax wakes up after a long, long time, a bit the worse for wear.

    On the one hand, she experienced ego death, is tired and hurting all the time, and cries like a faucet now.

    On the other, she's too exhausted to bother with her old bluster, has accepted that she wasn't subtle at all about her gender woes, and is genuinely galaxies happier than she used to be.

    But even so...an old question begins to nag at her.

    "Have you...ever done something you regret?"

    Summary

    SO, the pitch: Our lovable cast is a Found Family. They are all stuck in the Circus permanently, they solved ep 9 stuff off screen, Jax has reached "I am grudgingly trying to stick with these people" mode but still has AN AMOUNT of work to do, and then they all voted and agreed to bring Caine back but without any of his powers. I may have been inspired by other non-kink fic, be cool about that.

    Anyway, so Caine is brought back but obviously there's now the big elephant in the room of his uh, many crimes. Kinger has already spanked Caine once for his tantrums (see my previous fic) and it was successful, so the two agree to bring the suggestion to the whole group. This will eventually reach the space of a group kink situation with top/bottom dynamics and a bit of a hierarchy. Naturally Kinger is The Dad Who Stepped Up and the others will find their places as they go.

    Summary

    It all began with a question asked by Pomni: "Is it possible?" She and Kinger think that they may be able to revive the abstracted humans; they just need someone to run the code. Caine agrees to try, on one condition: they must obtain permission from the abstractions before tampering with their mind files. Now Pomni has to put her unique communication techniques to the test as the Circus members reach out to old friends, work through hidden traumas, and try not to get into even more trouble along the way...

    Summary

    Jax goes missing after the escape-the-circus adventure. He’s only found a day later, at the edge of the grounds, staring off into the void with hazed eyes, unable to speak or even move.

    Caine doesn’t know how to fix this- He can’t control anything related to the void! And so it’s up to the rest of the cast to watch over him as he recovers-

    If he ever will.

    Summary

    Most of the others didn't know it, but Kinger knew a lot about the circus and a lot about its creator, too.

    So he could easily handle the creator in question catching a simple computer virus, right?

    Right?

     

    (Aka. Caine is fucking DYING of the digital flu and Kinger has to be the dad that stepped up. Current name is a placeholder name until I think of something better.)

    Summary

    Abstractions were forever.

    Complete despair. Uncontrolled destruction. The haunting remains of people who had long since abandoned hope. That was the reality of the Circus. Nobody had ever brought someone back from abstraction.

    Until Pomni does.

    The implications are world-shattering; for those in the circus, for the bunny she refuses to leave behind, for what forms between them in the aftermath…

    And for those still waiting in the dark.
