    Summary


    Sex can be a very intimate thing. It's a dangerous prospect for a relationship that was already complicated. And "complicated" doesn't even begin to cover this specific relationship.

    Naturally, navigating the emotional danger of it all has been taking up Jax's attention. But she really should have put some thought into how the hell they'll actually do it.

    Summary

    She slowly, slowly shifts her head so she can look down, and sees Jax hugging her as tightly as they possibly can.

    “...Jax…?” Ribbit slurs. They don’t respond or acknowledge Ribbit’s words other than hugging her harder.

    It takes her a second to realise that Jax is shaking. No, she’s crying. Sobbing. At first, Ribbit assumes it’s because they’re hugging her, and she knows they don’t normally take well to hugs. But then, wait, why are they hugging her? They don’t normally let anyone hug them, not even Ribbit, let alone initiate a hug so why would -

    Ribbit is hit by an amalgamation of incoherent memories and words and suddenly realises her arm feels like static. She looks down to see half her body is black. No eyes, no glitchiness, no textures, it’s just black, like someone deleted the texture pack on her body.

    She vaguely remembers Jax being there, wherever she was. It was dark… and inky… and glitchy…

    Oh, right. She abstracted.

    Jax saves Ribbit from abstraction. But the circus has changed, the people have changed, and Jax has changed. Ribbit has a lot to adjust to.

    (Healing isn't linear, and Ribbit and Jax learn that in the worst way possible.)

    Summary

    It began with an alert in his email inbox- somebody had altered some code he wrote.
    Not a particularly unusual notification for Grant to get, considering he had been a computer scientist for more than three decades. It was slightly more unusual, however, considering the notification said that the code had been modified by Grant himself- something he had definitely not done- and also considering the system being altered had been shut down more than eighteen years ago.

    From: C&A - LOCAL [HQ]
    ALERT !
    [1337 /usr/ai/agent/caine] DELETED.

    ...What the hell.

    Or: Six people have been living their normal lives, entirely unaware of the copies of their consciousness trapped in a brightly-colored digital hellscape. That is, at least, until said copies escape the Circus, and six people wake up with both sets of memories, determined that the family they formed in a very different reality is one they will find again.

    Summary

    "Jax?" Pomni asks, eyes wide in alarm. She sounds like someone would when talking to a cornered animal, and it doesn't make her feel any better about the situation.

    "I- I don't—" her voice crackles like static. One of her hands remain on the side of her face, and then she moves to cover her eyes, trembling. "I don't know what's- what's happening—"

    Pomni's quiet for a moment. "What do you remember?"

    "I don't know—"

    She cuts herself off with a disbelieving laugh. She doesn't know. It's all so overwhelming she can't piece it together. The name Pomni's using for her doesn't feel real, even though there's a part of her saying that it is. Nothing feels real.

    How did she end up here? What happened? What year is it? Wasn't she on the street? Didn't she come here because—

    "I don't know," she cries, louder. "I don't know who I am! I don't know!"

    (or: two months after her abstraction, jax reawakens, and she isn't the same.)

    Summary

    With the theory of Abstraction reversal now proven, the Circus crew can move onto regaining the rest of their lost members and bringing everyone back once and for all. Yet, no one ever said such a task wouldn’t be arduous - or, for one particular froggy case, downright shattering.

    For Jax, the whole ordeal becomes a test of resilience and persistence as he faces the absolute worst parts of himself in a desperate attempt to reach the person who had mattered to him most. Failing was not an option.

    But, just how many times can someone be broken, before they can’t put themselves back together the same way anymore? And… whoever said that was necessarily a bad thing?

    Summary

    A look at Lily, the kindhearted purple rabbit who has been Ragatha's cohort in cheering up her fellow members of the Digital Circus for many years.

    An AU where Ribbit's Abstraction was a wake-up call, rather than the beginning of a spiral. Surely overcorrecting as far in the other direction as possible, from jerk to fellow people-pleaser, will have nothing but positive effects.

    Summary

    She sees him again. The man from the bar, this time at the bus stop. The one she takes when she’s running late for work. He doesn’t notice her and she pretends to not notice him, passing briskly on the sidewalk and continuing on her way.

    They are two separate lines that happen to have a point of intersection. That’s it. That’s all it is, all it ever will be.

    A single point in time.

    Abigail Brooks has recently begun having nonsensical dreams. Coincidentally, she’s also recently met Leeroy Mateo.

    She can’t seem to shake the feeling the two are connected.

    People are complicated. So, too, is grieving them. Sometimes it helps to talk about it.

     

    These days, Jax is a very good listener.

    Summary

    Pomni refuses to let go, and she brings Jax back with her. Unfortunately, holding onto an abstraction for such an extended period of time can have...unintended consequences.

    Summary

    His entire body freezes. His hands grip her waist where he’d been stroking her just a second before. Her eyes fly open and she pulls back from his lips. His eyes are squeezed shut.

    ‘Jax?’
    __________

    Pomni figures it out. And then figures it out with Jax.

    Who knows, maybe one day they’ll be able to have sex with the lights on.

    Summary

    YOU BETTER RUN

    When Jax abstracted, he expected nothing beyond that. He expected a void to take him and to stop existing. He didn't expect to wake up in a suburban city. In the Macroverse. The real world. What's a suicidally depressed immortal cartoon rabbit supposed to do in a world that would hate and fear them? Survive long enough to become a better person. Maybe make amends. Perhaps even find her real self.

    This is a story exploring various aspects of Jax's character that I find interesting and relatable, including: Self-Hatred, Self-Harm, Masking, Internalized Bigotry, Body Dysphoria, Running from consequences, Martyr complexes, Social Isolation, the kindness of the human spirit, and how people outside of societal norms are treated by those in power. And probably more.

    Co-written by my close friend Daisy.

    Summary

    He felt like a teenage girl, wanting her first time to be perfect and romantic, but it would never happen. Not like that, anyway. So, he mourned for a bit that he'd never have such an escapade, and moved on. Never let himself think about it again.

    With Pomni presenting herself on a silver platter in front of him, he's very much letting himself think about it now. Part of him is impressed she propositioned him, something he himself never had the courage to. The other, louder, part of him is screaming to make her turn around and leave, forcing her to endure celibacy like the rest of them have. Sleeping with her would needlessly complicate things, anyway. It would needlessly complicate him.

    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?

    ~updated summary~
    _______________________
    It didn't matter what Pomni thought. He was a terrible person. There might have been a time when he could've been justified in expecting people to respect him, but it ended that day, and he kept digging the hole deeper. Ribbit made that mistake, thinking he wasn't forever tainted, that his existence wasn't a cosmic punishment for who he was, and he killed them for it.

    He couldn't ask for that kind of forgiveness. He could not accept it even if it was given.
    ________________________

    After abstracting, Jax is presented with another chance at the Circus when she is reset to the day she entered. Will this time be different? Can the rest of the crew succeed in convincing her not to be such an ass? Will everyone fall in love? Find out in this whacky, deeply depressing, deeply repressing, beautiful tale of woe, misery, and maybe a little bit of joy!

    Summary

    It comes in waves. Grief. It doesn't go away. Everyone knows this. It's what they tell you when you lose everything.

    They figure out how to help the abstractions. But it doesn't get better on its own.

    It just takes time.

    Summary

    Ragatha sighs, pushes open the door to her room, and practically leaps out of her skin.
    Stretched out across the satin bedspread like she owns the place is a very familiar figure: short, pale, and dark-haired, sporting a jester hat and a skimpy set of frilly silk pajamas. A candle Ragatha doesn't remember ever owning flickers cozily on the bedside table, scenting the air with jasmine. And—is that a trail of rose petals on the floor? Ragatha grabs the door frame for support.
    As the shock of finding someone in what she expected to be an empty (and fully unlit) room subsides, Ragatha realizes—with a mingled feeling of disappointment and embarrassment—that this is not Pomni who decided to surprise her. Her hat's the wrong colors.
    No, this is—
    "'Sup, bitch," says Evil Pomni, one corner of her mouth tugging up into a toothy, self-assured grin.

    Ragatha receives a visitor.

    Summary

    Recovery is the hardest thing you will ever go through. Learning to be a better person is agonizing. Trying to do both is an exercise in absurd futility, and no one can do it for you.

    It's also the only way things can ever get better.

    So walk, crawl, scream, and push that boulder up the hill. Imagine Sisyphus happy, so that one day you might imagine the same for yourself.
