    Summary

    Xie Lian didn’t intend to get cursed, or sick as a result. As a matter of fact, he didn’t intend to even get involved with the ghosts who were sluggishly parading themselves around Puqi Village. He just—well—what else was he supposed to do? He collected scraps, stayed in his shrine, had an exhilarating time with Hua Cheng whenever he visited, and more or less avoided going to the heavens unless absolutely necessary. What harm could helping a few ghosts do? They were sick, and sad, and dead, and unable to leave, and he was not any of those things—except the last one—so it only felt right if he tried to help, didn’t it?

    Of course, getting sick was something he should have expected. After all, his bad luck did not make him immune to suffering. Only immune from dying from it. Hua Cheng would rather he didn’t get sick, and didn’t die at all! Both the real version, and the dream version said so!

    (or: xie lian takes the burdens from a very sick, very dream-riddled ghost. he, by extension, becomes a very sick, very dream-riddled god. hua cheng takes care of him.)

    Summary

    "Have we met?" Xie Lian smiles his employee-of-the-month winning smile.

    "Maybe," smirks Hard-Cock.

    "Sure. For here or takeaway?"

    "Peppermint cocoa for here, please. And your Valentine's plans?"

    He's unfazed by Xie Lian's dryness, which he has to admit is interesting. Unfortunately, Xie Lian is very, very tired. And so his filters aren't what they really ought to be when working in customer service.

    "I'm going to order in some food, watch my favourite film, and then cry myself to sleep."

    After Jun Wu breaks up with Xie Lian, it takes good friends and a persistent stranger to get Xie Lian to want to live his life again.

    Summary

    Xie Lian and Hua Cheng take their time with a lot of things. Xie Lian, for one, was beginning to understand the luxury of lying in bed and sleeping the morning away. Hua Cheng thought it was luxury to have his god draped over him like a cat seeking warmth.

    (or: a tired god and a non-sleeping ghost share a bed.)

    Summary

    Today, the ▬▬▬▬▬ Police Department has disclosed the identities of the recently found persons who escaped from the previously-thought abandoned C&A software department. Dubbed the “C&A Escapees” by social media, the five people have captured the interest of the world due to the strange circumstances of their location. All five people had previously been reported missing, anytime ranging from several months to nearly a decade ago, with at least one previously presumed deceased. Only two of the escapees had formerly been connected to the C&A software department, which had been abandoned since its failure to resell in 2008. This building itself became a local urban legend due to the occasional disappearance around the location and strange reports of electrical functioning despite its power being cut. However, these rumors are miniscule in comparison to the recent reality of the five C&A Escapees leaving the building, all the same age they were when they had vanished, as if no time at all had passed.

    A collection of files on the re-appearance of five members of the Digital Circus... but where did the sixth go...?

    Summary

    The first time she wakes up, she’s alone.

    It takes months, years, maybe decades. She's not sure at all. But patience and mercy finally take effect, and Jax finds herself waking up in a blanket fort, static fading from her mind, and people waiting for her outside.

    Summary

    The world where there wasn't a brain scan, where humans were dragged into a computer against their will... it's not a world with happy endings. And when the humans are ejected from the Circus, missing one of their own, they don't just get to go back to their lives. There's hospitals, and police, and desperately trying to be believed, followed by just as desperately trying to be left alone. But the one thing they have is each other. They have each other and that's never going to change.

    TADC AU – Non-SOMA, Escape the Circus. Everyone is insanely codependent and the way they got out was so traumatizing they can barely talk about it. Pomni tries her best to hold everyone together, while also getting re-used to a life outside, and wondering which world was actually better.

    MAY become Gangle/Zooble and/or Jax/Pomni if it goes on long enough, but most of the fic is focused on their platonic found family bond. MULTIPLE Trigger Warnings, both tagged and untagged; untagged will be labelled at the top of chapters. Viewer Discretion Advised.

    Summary

    Jax forces a grin back on his face, but it's jagged and twitching. "You wanted me to talk so bad, now you're doing this?!"

    "We gave you a chance!" Zooble yells, taking a step closer to Jax. "We've all been at your door for days stupidly trying to get you tell tell us anything! I even tried to help you at the beach, for f[%$!#]'s sake!" Their voice lowers. "You've had your chances, Jax. You f[%$!#]ing wasted them."

    ---------------

    In the aftermath of the 'Escape the Circus' adventure, tensions come to a head. Caine tries to make everything right with the circus members, but his attempts to regain their trust cause an even deeper rift to form as Jax is separated from the group during a new immersive maze adventure.

    Summary

    Abstraction is permanent.

    That doesn't mean unchanging.

    Or: Returning to a life you thought you left behind forever, what happens when your survival depends on your mental stability and one very determined jester, and does gender even matter when you're not a real person?

    Summary

    Things are a bit tense between some of the characters after the "They All Get Guns" adventure. However that doesn't stop Caine from sending the main cast on some sort of casino adventure that includes gambling, a bar, and a drag show in the background to set the mood.
    Most of the members are guided to get high on stupid sauce and make dumb decisions – but under certain circumstances, Jax ends up stuck in the makeup chair. Being customized in the backstage dressing room.
    And for some reason it’s… not as bad as he thought?

     

    The plot eventually includes some mild inspiration from "Purple Rain" by Prince if you couldn't tell lol.

    Summary

    "...Which means that we are just digital copies of the real people."

     

    Everyone went dead silent. Pomni had half the mind to check if the room was dim enough or if Kinger went insane again.

     

    "And I know this sounds insane, but we could potentially still get back into our bodies, if our memories merge well enough."

     

    In all the chaos his words brought upon the group, everyone was occupied with their own thoughts, but Pomni managed to catch the absolutely panicked look on Jax's face.

     

    ----------

    In which the group has found a way out, and yet one of them is avoidant of it. But why would he fear it? All they need is to be still alive in the real world.

    Summary

    "We were so worried, we heard you—" Ragatha starts, and then looks up. She meets Jax's gaze dead-on, and goes silent. Tears brim in the corner of her eye. Her hand flies up to cover her mouth. He can't tell if the look on her face is relief or fear.

    Gangle's staring at him like she's seen a ghost. Pomni slowly raises to her feet, brows furrowed. She winces as every movement jars her wavering form.

    Cowered on the floor, panting, confused and disoriented, with everyone standing above him, taller than him… it reminds Jax of something deeply unpleasant. They're all staring at him. They're all seeing him.

    Jax knows they're not going to like what they see.

    His breath quickens until his head is spinning, and he feels like he's going to vomit. He forces himself upwards with a frustrated cry, swaying in place, and then turns and bolts towards his room as fast as he can.

    "NO!" Pomni screams.

    (or: pomni pulls jax back from the brink.)

    Summary

    It’s pretty easy to say Jax is struggling after the maid dress incident. Doing what he does best, he complains.

    Pomni has seen this show before.

    (Or: Jax doesn’t want to admit he felt pretty. Pomni has a word or two for them.)

    UPDATE APRIL 24 2026
    I will not be posting any more TADC content as I feel immensely uncomfortable after the recent controversies. Feel free to engage with my previous works but I unfortunately cannot comfortably continue posting any more for this fandom. Thank you all for understanding.

    Summary

    As quickly as he came and dashed the cast’s hopes, Caine vanished.

    The basket of soaps fell to the ground. With it came a thick and oppressive silence.

    Nobody spoke up. Nobody moved.

    Summary

    “How long does it…“ Jax mumbles, staring up at the tent. Have the skyboxes always swirled like that, or is that part of the sauce too?

    “I think it lasts a few hours,” Pomni offers.

    Jax swallows. “And how long has it… been?”

    “Since you sat down? Uh…” She hesitates. “Maybe… ten minutes?”

    Fuck. Fuck.

    Jax gets stupid-sauced. It doesn’t go so great.

    Summary

    “I didn’t see a lot of green,” Kurapika says, “after the exam. I think I was happiest walking around that island with you, even though we were being hunted.”

    Something lodges in Leorio’s throat at that.

    “Yeah?” he manages. “Did you realize it then?— That you were happy?”

    “It wasn’t an afterthought, if that’s what you’re asking. But of course I had no way of knowing how long it would be before I felt that way again.”

    Leorio takes a deep breath. “Are you happy now?”

    Summary

    Seeing Kurapika there— drenched from the rain, swaying where he stands— stops Leorio in his tracks.

    “Hi,” he says, blinking like a man who has no control of his eyes.

    “Hi,” Kurapika says back, and collapses in the doorway.

    OR: Leorio offers Kurapika a place to stay while he's in town
    OR: Kurapika horrifically unhealthy lifestyle is concerning

    When he sneaks back into his room to grab a pair of pajamas, Kurapika sits up very, very suddenly— and with his hair messy from sleep and eyes gleaming in the dark he looks like the scary kid from every horror movie Leorio swore he wouldn’t watch with Killua.

    Jesus,” Leorio says. 

    “Hi,” Kurapika says.

    Summary

    Ever since the massacre, Kurapika’s birthdays had some kind of emotionally turbulent event. It made it unpleasant to look back on—and if there wasn’t an incident by some fluke, Kurapika was at a miserable baseline. 

    “I’ve spent so many birthdays by myself…so I am thankful to have spent it with you. I forgot how nice it was, to actually treat it like a celebration.”

    Summary

    The cool Detroit winter breeze. The obnoxious light from the club’s sign. Loud music. Big brown eyes that take on all the light’s colors and make them their own. A soft smile, a breathy laugh. Hands tucked into the pockets of a long coat. Boots strolling down the sidewalk, crunching in the thin layer of snow. Three shots of vodka apiece. Soft hands with long, delicate fingers.

    These are the things that Markus can remember from that night. Healing, like incense. Strengthening, like sunlight.

    Markus could paint it, if he could just relearn how.
