    Summary

    Pomni hates him. In her short time in this digital purgatory, she’s already lost a friend, her name, her body — and soon she fears she’ll lose her mind. Caine’s to blame for it all, and his happy and bubbly demeanor only pushes Pomni closer to the brink. After a particularly awful adventure, the troubled jester decides to confront Caine about the horrors he puts her and the others through each day. But to Pomni’s surprise, Caine submits and agrees; he can do better, and insists that he wants to. This marks the beginning of Pomni and Caine’s “super secret adventures”, where Caine desperately tries to understand his human guests better.
    As the unexpected pair grow closer, the others discover a possible means of escape. But of course, it won’t be a simple task, and it involves Caine. As Pomni grows a surprising soft spot for the ringmaster, she contemplates if this means of escape is worth it.

    Summary

    The circus members had started to notice that something was different with Caine. Sure, he always acted unpredictable and in unusual ways, but that was just it— he was starting to become predictable! Predictable, in the sense, that whenever the circus's newest addition (a certain jester) offhandedly mentioned something, it was almost immediately in their next adventure! And that's not to mention all the glances, comments, glitches, and buffering that Caine had been experiencing. No, Caine wasn't being subtle about it. At least, not to the rest of them. But to Pomni? To himself? It would be a miracle if the thought even formed in their heads.

    Or, I wanted an excuse to write some Showtime, because it's my crackship of the month. So here's a reimagining of TADC where Caine meets Pomni, and something inside his code shifts, and even if he doesn't understand it, it seems the others do. Mostly lighthearted fluff and hurt/comfort, because after that last episode we need it

    Summary

    Pomni wakes up alone and in a place that wasn't the Circus Tent, and she has no idea where she is or how to get back.

    If her friends were here, then she hopes that they were okay until she can get to them, or they get to her.

    Summary

    Only two kinds of people make it far in the fighting circuit: the strong and the ruthless.
    Fighters willing to push their bodies to the breaking point in order to reach ever greater heights, and fighters who, from those very heights, do not hesitate to throw down anyone who might stand in their way.

    If Pomni wants to win the Championship, she will have to face both. And once she is the Champion, maybe she will finally find a way out of that colorful, wacky, and surprisingly realistic world.

    Or…
    I got so obsessed with @burrotello’s AU that I ended up creating a story spanning about forty chapters.

    Summary

    What if Caine didn't consume the other AI and considers him a brother?

    What if the AI had manifested itself a deep adoration for Caine?

    An adoration that desires to dictate everything Caine is and will be.

     

    We all must of heard the story of Cain and Abel, how Cain killed Abel because of envy.

    But what if we turn the story upside down?

    Summary

    Summary

    Pomni wasn’t really sure what to expect when she threw her hat in the ring for Operation: RETRIEVE CAINE. All she knew was that someone had to do it, and she sure as fuck didn’t think any of the others would do it.

    The entire thing hinged on the hope that his file still existed somewhere in the bin since for some reason, Kinger couldn’t just find the file directly from their new computer. Some explanation about indexes and file corruption that went over her head- but because of this, someone needed to be deleted and dropped into the bin to interact with him and hopefully get a file reference to him, so that hopefully, when they’re brought back, he (or at least something Caine-adjacent) gets dragged back as well.

    Hopefully.

    God, this is beyond fucked.

     

    ---
    In a last-ditch attempt to stop the circus from falling apart, Pomni gets sent into the bin to retrieve Caine, which, if everything went well, should restore functionality to the Circus. It should be fine, probably- it’ll be just like some convoluted high stakes adventure! Easy-peasy lemon-squeezy.

    It’s too bad computers don’t really work like that.

    Summary

    Pomni knew her day would be bad, but she never expected it to involve a literal eldritch horror dragging her into his realm and forcing her to act as his “honorary’”royal jester. Yet here she is, forced to play the part in a place where words have power and not everything is as it seems.

    Most especially the goblin king, whose terrifying appearance and eccentric personality hides more secrets than what Pomni may be willing to uncover.

    Summary

    The CTRL-ALT-DEL-AU belongs to @ctrl-alt-del-au on Tumblr.

    "You just! Don't! LISTEN!"

    Pomni's words were playing though Caine's mind in an agonizing loop. In any other circumstances, he'd be able to erase that thought. Loan then to Bubble permanently, keep going on as intended.

    But this was not his Bubble.

    This was not his circus.

    Yet, these were his humans.

    They didn't remember him. They did not know he was an ai. They had just come back from the Candy Canyon Kingdom. Why was this happening?

    "You just! Don't! LISTEN!"

    He could win their favor. He could win their love, and affection. He had to.

    He had nothing left but this second chance.

    And, ideally, he'd do it WITHOUT making himself a horrible, cruel monster that no one loved in the process.

    "You just! Don't! LISTEN!"

    ... Fine.

    If listening was what it took...

    Then Caine would listen.

    He would be the best at it.

    Summary

    After the disastrous adventure in episode 7, Caine reflects on himself, realizing that he’s completely failed at his purpose. But instead of blaming the humans, he decides that the problem lies within his code, and he’ll do anything to fix it.

    The humans are reasonably upset after Caine’s latest adventure, but when Pomni realizes that the AI has been suffering more than any of them could imagine, it becomes their mission to help him and make the circus a better place for everyone.

    AKA Me coping because Caine did not deserve to die ;-;

    But when they find him he's not quite the same.

    Forgiveness isn't an given. It's earned. And along the way the humans start to realize that perhaps there are some things they need to earn forgiveness for too.
