Summary
After Caine's torture of the players, he returns to sanity and manages to stay for a little longer than in the show, time enough to express the horror and regret of his own actions.
But still, the deletion happens, and the players are left in a broken circus now filled with voices echoing all of their regrets.
All is not lost, though, as Kinger realises that maybe they can still be saved; the key to getting the circus back is, of course, rather obvious. Caine is needed.

Summary
Grace wakes up with a stomachache that he thinks is anxiety. All day, he brushes off Rocky's concerns, reassuring him that he's fine. And when he's not, Rocky is left alone, unable to fix it. Everything is good in the end!! :)

Summary
“What made you come up with this?” Grace asks. His voice is thick.
“Grace need comfort,” Rocky says matter-of-factly. “Like a hug. This comfort Grace, question?”
Grace presses his hand more firmly against the top of Rocky’s carapace, and Rocky shifts a bit within the xenonite, rising so that they make nearly direct contact through the panel. It’s not like they haven’t done something like this before—Rocky is always pressing his claws up against Grace’s palm—but it’s different for Grace’s whole hand to be so close, to feel the heat of a living thing against his side and against his palm all at once.
“Yeah,” Grace breathes.

On the trip to Erid, Grace is starving.

Alienation and Recovery by I_Like_This_A_Normal_Amount

Summary
While working on solving the issue of Grace slowly dying of starvation, malnutrition, and a host of other issues, the Eridians discover the human internet (largely Wikipedia) and fall down a rabbit hole of trying to figure out everything they can about the needs of their squishy alien savior. While most of their focus is on the food issue, another link catches their (metaphorical) eyes.
"Touch starvation, also known as touch deprivation or skin hunger, is the physiological need by humans and other species for physical contact with their own species or other living beings."
No one is happy about this.

The Psychology of a Broken AI by The_Spam_Specialist
Fandoms: The Amazing Digital Circus (Web Series)
12 May 2026

Summary
It’s been a few days since The Favorite Character Awards.
Pomni has been through a number of bizarre things during her time in the circus. Candy truck chases, angel head horrors, minimum wage labor, athletic events, gun-filled battle royales. But none of these come close to what she witnesses on a seemingly innocent day full of beach-filled fun: Caine attempting to take his own life.
After managing to stop him, Pomni takes it upon herself (and is borderline forced to by Bubble) to help keep Caine’s mental state intact by engaging in improvised therapy sessions with him. After all, if Caine died, what would happen to the circus? And to the humans that lived within it? This was her only concern at first. But as Caine opens up to her more through these sessions, she realizes just how much the AI is hurting and how long he has been harboring these negative emotions.
Turns out Caine needs more help than she thought.
He's just as trapped in this game as they are. And worse.

Summary
That abstraction from earlier had haunted Pomni more than she wanted. It wasn't the horrifying amount of eyes it had but the darkness that it embodied. It was too much. And now she laid there in bed, worried that she might become the thing she feared the most.
Luckily, their dear ringmaster seemed to sense this and actually decided to come along to resolve the issue.
{Tldr: Pomni's afraid of the dark so Caine keeps her company.}

Summary
As far as Caine’s concerned, he’s nothing but gentle and respectful toward his humans. He’s seen what those other AIs do to their people, and he’s much kinder than any of them! Yes, his humans can feel pain and his games can cause pain, but they can’t die and it’s near impossible for them to receive enough damage that they would feel like dying!
He’s still working on figuring out the whole “abstraction” thing.
Either way, maybe some of the data he stole from the latest AI to try and fight him can help with that!

Keeping you close (in the pocket over my heart) by Femmie

Summary
Caine is all powerful, they all know that much. He is capable of anything in this digital world. He is the circus, in a way.
But he’s also a wacky AI. And tech like that can get buggy, no matter how advanced.
Or: Caine glitches during an update and accidentally opens up the cellar, letting out all the abstracted cast members that were supposed to stay locked away forever. Jax shows he cares more than he lets on.
