    Summary

    After the whole 'the exit was just an adventure' fiasco, Caine has a crashout over how his humans see and treat him. Instead of realizing he's the god of this digital world, however, Caine chooses a different path: to walk a mile in their shoes to see what their issues are first-hand. He comes up with an alter-ego: C.A.M.I.E., or Caine's Anonymous Mascot Imitation Experiment! Now, he just needs to pop into the circus as a newbie and see how the others react to 'her' and look into his all-too-human issue.

    Note: Zooble x Gangle is canon but not really a focus. I just think they're cute.

    There will be art in this, including Camie's design!

    We're all coping with episode 8 in our own ways, huh?

    Major thanks to my editor https://toyhou.se/TomaSyri !!

    Summary

    Remember that funny bit at the end of episode 3? Where Caine and Zooble switched who was on the therapy couch? What if Caine went into a little more detail than just his thoughts on the wild west.

    And by detail I mean Zooble gets answers and its- well, like pulling teeth.

    Edit: No longer Zooble interrogating Caine, as I am writing more for this. Now everyone gets to interrogate him. Yay!

    Includes: hardware facts! Software jokes! Inaccurate portrayal of AI! Everyone treating the circus like it’s real life while Caine is like HeHe HoHo, I’m a funny silly video game! Don’t worry about the darkness that grows within me, let me tell you about RAM.

    Summary

    An ablation study aims to determine the contribution of a component to an AI system by removing the component, and then analyzing the resultant performance of the system.

    Deleting Caine was not the plan. And his absence led to a whole set of new problems, ranging from the destabilization of the Amazing Digital Circus to a more murderous AI trying to take control of the mainframe. Retrieving him was a matter of practicality. They might not trust him and were definitely wary of him, but his presence was their only way to survive.

    Knowing that the humans that you love and desperately want to make happy instead fear and hate you (for admittedly good reasons) and only brought you back because they have no choice was not the best feeling for an AI never designed to handle emotions in the first place. It would be much better to only keep the parts that they need and discard the rest.

    Caine understood his humans perfectly. For roughly several days during a mental breakdown.

    His humans, on the other hand, understood him from the start. Even if they were too blind and uncomfortable with the fact to realise that.

    Summary

    “Is the alien…dangerous?” he asks slowly.

    “No! No, no he’s my friend, he’s - uh, well, the engineer of the Hail Mary,” says Grace. “Look, I’m just saying that - he’s gonna wake up soon, and we don’t need to tell him about how our first meeting went. We can gloss over the whole ‘tackle me to the ground and scare the daylights out of me’ thing. I won’t tell if you won’t.”

    Simon is 90% sure this is going to come back to bite him in the form of blackmail but he nods anyways, because it sure as hell sounds like Grace is implying Simon will be allowed to stay a while longer.

     

    Rocky sleeps through the absolute shitshow that is Simon and Grace’s first meeting. It’s probably for the best.
    Despite it all, it will be the start of beautiful friendship.

    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

    Caine's deletion had done more than send the circus into disarray. It had left the world vulnerable. No sooner had Caine been stripped of his title of ringmaster than another AI was filling his chair. And this new executive is far less... forgiving than Caine is.

    A.B.E.L has sunk its claws into every corner of the circus in Caine's absence. Far away are the days of wacky adventures and side puzzles. The new AI seems interested only in pushing the humans to their physical and mental limits.

    Caine is not entirely gone, however, simply demoted. Abel could not purge his code, and so it gives him a new purpose. At least his new task allows him to stay close to his humans.

    The crew quickly realizes that Caine had been a mouse in the presence of this viper.

    (This is inspired by Katzebruh's Backup AU. Please, go check them out, their work is amazing!)

    Summary

    The sound of Rengoku Kyojurou falling was something that Giyuu would never forget. Even as he fought Upper Rank Three, he was still horribly aware of the body by the train tracks, unmoving and shrouded in a blood stained haori. How could a spirit as strong and bright as the irrepressible flame hashira ever be extinguished?

     

    (Or, Giyuu arrives in time to save the man who has occupied the thoughts of all his days and nights ever since their first mission together two years prior. And although the road to recovery won't be easy for Kyojurou, at least he won't be alone.)

    Tomioka doesn't deal well with the freezing cold.
    And if he is exhausted and tired on top of that... he never really stood a chance against Rengoku Kyojuro's charms, did he?

    Summary

    Lucifer Morningstar has been known by many names throughout his very long life. The Lightbringer, Star of Morning, Father of Sin, and Most Hated Being in All of Creation to name a few. These days, he’s hoping to claim the title of Hell’s Greatest Dad, which is an accomplishment easier said than done. Enter one arrogant and conniving Radio Demon and life suddenly takes a turn for the worst. But hey, what’s a little misery to the King of Hell.

    Or:

    Lucifer could think of a million-and-one reasons to distrust Alastor, but if there’s ever a lesson that the universe is happy to teach him time and time again, it’s that mortals have a peculiar habit of being so much more than they seem. Suddenly, those million-and-one reasons don’t seem to hold much weight, especially when revelations lead to him needing to rely on the one sinner who makes his life a living hell.

    Loosely inspired by the song ‘Gods & Monsters’ by Lana Del Rey
