    Summary

    There's an empty circus to perhaps rebuild, a lot of questions to ponder, and a lot of 'what-now's they'll all have to figure out. But right now, Ragatha's still trying to forget her mother's gaze. It isn't working.

    She'll have to forget her, to move on, and to start 'conjuring' a new life here, not that she even knows how to do that yet. But, then, knowing how to do it isn't a requirement; she only has to be thinking about it hard enough, and the subject of her mind will find her.

    Set in the immediate aftermath of Episode 8.

    Summary

    "You're not dead," Pomni said with a frown. "Not yet, at least. You're just — indisposed."

    At that, Jax gave her a long look as his mouth narrowed out into a little line. Then he sighed quietly. It wasn't the way he used to sigh, with dramatic posturing that begged the attention from anyone even remotely listening. It was small. Tired. Reflexive. Then he sat down with his knees to his chest, glaring into the dark water. The only light here, a single streetlamp, glowed weakly.

    "Denial is an ugly color on you. Clashes with your stupid hat."

    "Jax — "

    "I'm gone," he snapped. His voice echoed in the abyss. "Don't you get it? No one comes back from Abstraction. You're not saving me, you're not helping me grow. All you're doing is keeping my body from rotting." Jax's hands worked their way up to his head, squeezing as he growled, "You're talking to a ghost."


    or, a post-canon fix-it fic, featuring the De-Abstraction of Jax. It's messy and it takes time, but it's never too late to try.

Can anything truly change?

    Featuring Caine trying human things, found family bonding, and a healthy dose of angst while everyone processes their various traumas and learns to accept this new world they're making together. Or tries to, anyway.
