    Summary

    "You, my boy, have been arranged a playdate.”

    Qifrey stops.

    “With young Easthies. Captain Vinanna’s new apprentice. Lovely boy, very sharp, very—” Beldaruit waves a hand, searching for the word and apparently not finding one he liked. “Discliplined. He’s disciplined a great deal. I thought, what a fine thing, two young apprentices, similar ages, similar circumstances—”

    “I don’t want to.”

    ~

    Forced to spend an afternoon together by their masters, a young Qifrey and Easthies discover that they have absolutely nothing in common. This does not stop them from stumbling into an adventure.

    OR: Qifrey learns the power of ragebaiting

    Summary

    Christine came back from the impossible with scars no one could see. She was supposed to be moving on: going back to work, learning how to be a real person again, and pretending the daily flashbacks were not a problem.

    Then Cam walked into her life, sharp-tongued, legally questionable, and carrying oddly similar damage.

    How long was she supposed to wait before trusting him with who she used to be?

    Or: a post-circus funnybunny-centric story about identity, grief, and getting the gang back together again. takes place summer of 2026, based on lore up to ep 7 ♡

    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-coloured 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

    They escaped the circus. Pomni has her name again: Christine. She also has her old life to return to. Unfortunately, it's more difficult to reintegrate herself back into the life she had before putting on the headset than she originally thought. It's hard when her friends and family don't understand what she went through and the people who do understand might not even exist. She sees the ghost of them everywhere she looks, though.

    She's determined to find them no matter what.

     

    Or, a series of moments of Pomni trying to adjust to being human again while trying to find her digital friends in the real world.

     

    Written before Episode 9. There are no spoilers in here!

    Summary

    Ever since the brawl, guilt consumed Jax. Denied him rest. Instead of confronting the problem like any healthy coping mechanism, he visited the Bubble Bar—Kaufmo's old stomping ground—with the intention of drinking himself silly while sharing the company of an NPC cursed with self-awareness. Bumping into Caine wasn't part of the plan, but they bonded over ungrateful Circus Folk.

    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

    Jax stares at the white screen. To think it gave them hope just moments before. To think he-

    He stares at the table, the buttons in his peripheral. His head is buzzing, he wants to laugh, he wants to cry, he wants to get out of here.

    It’s horribly, horribly quiet.

    “I really thought…” Gangle whimpers.

    He can feel eyes burning into his back. He doesn’t want to do this right now. Not again.

    Not that anyone cares what he wants.

    Zooble’s voice bounces into his ear. “What the [BOINK!] was that, Jax?” they seethe.

    Summary

    Pomni starts keeping a diary to stay grounded in the circus.

    It helps. A little.

    It becomes a place for thoughts she can’t say out loud about the circus, about what counts as “real,” and about a certain asshole she probably shouldn’t trust.

    Summary

    "So, Angel, I totally get where you're coming from. And trust me, we already got rid of the big-screen TV Vox gave us when he visited—which, again, I am so sorry about. But I don't think he can spy on us through one of these older models. And, well...you're not our only guest anymore. We want to hold space for you, but we have to consider our other patrons, too, and what they—"

    Charlie cut herself off with a startled hiccup at the sound of exploding glass. She and Angel stared at the television set, green smoke billowing out of its now-broken screen. Then they turned their attention to Alastor, who stood on the other side of the parlor. His smile was placid, but his shadow writhed, and his cane was glowing.

    "One down!" he said cheerfully. Then, beckoning to the staircase, he said to Angel, "Care to lend me a hand with the rest of them, my good fellow?"

    It only took a few more seconds for Angel to overcome his shock. "Oh," he said, cracking all three pairs of knuckles, "fuck yeah."

    Summary

    When Alastor returns to the hotel after his little stint at Vee Tower, he decides to focus on his managerial duties for a change. As a result, his radio show goes on an indefinite hiatus.

    However, just because he's not on the air, that doesn't mean he isn't still broadcasting. And who better to pick up on the specific signals he's sending out than the hotel crew members who've known him the longest?

    Summary

    The Vee's have been defeated, redemption has been proven to be possible and the Hotel is bursting with Sinners more than ever. Everyone is happy, the world is turning towards a positive direction and life couldn't be better.

    Except there's small, tiny problem - Lucifer can't lift a pinky against any of the Sinners and now everybody knows.
    Lucifer needs to do something about this before it becomes a real issue and before some other Sinner has a go at him and succeeds. He's a creative person, he's got TONS of ideas, like, all the time, how hard can it be?

    Turns out, a lot.

    TLDR; How Lucifer deals with being utterly defenseless against Sinners.

    Summary

    An uncomfortable feeling builds in his chest, a small ball of pressure and tension slowly eating at him. Recognizing the feeling for what it was, he let out a frustrated growl, shaking his head to clear his thoughts. There were many things Alastor deserved, and worry—especially his worry—was definitely not one of them. Alastor choosing to disappear because of Vox's stupid TVs and cameras was not his problem. If anything, good riddance; it meant more time for the presence of his soul owner to not bother him.

    An excerpt of a scenario where when Alastor comes back to the rebuilt hotel he finds out that it's filled with VoxTek appliances. Unfortunately, since he's still recovering from his fight against Adam he can't do anything about it, leading to a miserable time. This fic specifically is a midstory scene between Husk and Alastor, with Husk discovering a little bit about why Alastor's been acting weird lately.

    Summary

    Husk almost argued on principle, but he knew better than anyone that having a good poker face wasn’t the same as being a trickster. Alastor had taught him that well. He just wasn’t cut out for the type of beguiling fae shit Alastor got up to with his deals—back at the casino, risk and loss were as straightforward a business as Husk could run, given the circumstances. There was something almost clean about it. What Alastor did always left Husk feeling like he needed a long scrub in the shower afterward.

    Or: Husk and Alastor run an errand.

    Summary

    Vox's screen fills his field of vision, arresting his spiraling thoughts.

    He's holding a needle and thread.

    Alastor's smile is curdling at the edges, but he doesn't break eye contact. Vox's gaze devours him, always so wide and hungry, but there's something else lurking in his expression that has Alastor not quite as wary as he should be, perhaps, because it's not sadism or even cruelty in the way Vox is looking at him now. Vox's smile is calmer. He's quieter, no longer jumpy with excitement like he'd been earlier today, although still smug and a little too pleased with himself. Far more tolerable than before, at least.

    "How about it?" Vox says, cocking an eyebrow. He holds the needle like an offering, like Alastor has a choice.

    Alastor deliberately leans back, letting his head rest against the wall with the vain hope that it will make the room stop spinning. "By all means."

    Or: Finally alone together, Alastor reopens some emotional wounds as Vox fixes his physical ones.
