missing persons anonymous au by discatded
Fandom The Amazing Digital Circus (Web Series)
01 May 2026
Summary
Post-canon / canon divergence au for TADC.
(Canon compliant up to episode 6, because that's when I started writing this au. Diverges from canon in place of episode 7. Minor lore retcons as canon info is revealed, but no major overhauls.)Chatfic with bonus oneshots! No prior knowledge of the au (besides what is here in the series summary & notes) is required for any given fic, unless otherwise stated. If there is, I'll do my best to explain context in the fic notes.
༘⋆
The cast escapes the Circus and find themselves in the long-abandoned office building of C&A, a now defunct game development company, in May 2025. The most glaring problem? None of them entered the circus in May 2025—in fact, some have been missing long enough to be declared dead.
Picking up the pieces left is a task much easier said than done.

Summary
She sighs and rubs the back of her phone absently. She turns it on again; 4 minutes. When she looks up, there's—
A ghost, lingering in front of the cafe. He is a photo copy of her dad 18 years ago, slightly silvery blond hair and all. He looks anxious.
She can't help but stare.His head turns, attention caught by her gaze. He opens his mouth, and out comes a soft and afraid, "Caterpillar?"
Cat stands. "Dad?" she whispers, afraid she's entirely wrong but simultaneously certain she is not.[ Lepidoptera Adams has a lunch date with a dead man. ]

"You Ever Notice A Girl Has Fangs and Suddenly You Want to Kiss Her?" by Anonymous

Summary
Her feelings regarding everyone in the Circus were strictly platonic.
At least, they were, until Jax practically beat her into the ground with a realization.
The realization? Maybe the amount of time she spent with the Circus' new jester wasn't exactly falling under the 'platonic' category anymore.
Which is crazy, right?
Well, a sudden new realization about Pomni might make him right.

Summary
"We were so worried, we heard you—" Ragatha starts, and then looks up. She meets Jax's gaze dead-on, and goes silent. Tears brim in the corner of her eye. Her hand flies up to cover her mouth. He can't tell if the look on her face is relief or fear.
Gangle's staring at him like she's seen a ghost. Pomni slowly raises to her feet, brows furrowed. She winces as every movement jars her wavering form.
Cowered on the floor, panting, confused and disoriented, with everyone standing above him, taller than him… it reminds Jax of something deeply unpleasant. They're all staring at him. They're all seeing him.
Jax knows they're not going to like what they see.
His breath quickens until his head is spinning, and he feels like he's going to vomit. He forces himself upwards with a frustrated cry, swaying in place, and then turns and bolts towards his room as fast as he can.
"NO!" Pomni screams.
(or: pomni pulls jax back from the brink.)

Summary
What were the stages of grief again?
Denial, Jax remembers. He knows that one. It’s the first on the list, the one that clues people in that it’s developing grief in the first place. Not that he’s grieving. That was silly. And a straight up delusional take on his situation. He doesn’t grieve.
Cartoonish purple rabbits don’t grieve.
The dead can’t speak, the guilty don’t deserve to. Pomni has Thoughts™ and makes it Jax’s whole problem.
(Or: the one where she gives one last push.)

Summary
The problem is that Resolve is…well, she's boring! She doesn't like sportsball, or running around, or roughhousing. She likes to sit quietly and play dolls, or read books — proper chapter books that are meant to be for older kids.
She's nice, at least, although she's not the same type of nice as Tammy. Tammy's sensitive, cries easily. Resolve…she can tell Resolve gets mad. She can see her fists clench and a muscle jump in her jaw and she thinks yes, you're just like me, come on and prove it.
--
For the "Secret Admirer" prompt for Exo Week 2026. On the surface, sporty tomboy Anemone and gentle, feminine Resolve couldn't be more different. Or at least, Anemone thinks so. What could they possibly have in common?

That, and the simple viscerality of tattooing and piercing is…grounding. The dreams never go away, and sometimes she needs to be reminded which life is hers and which belongs to some other Mia, living some other life.
There's a noise from outside, and Mia's pointy ears twitch. Two voices, lurking outside the door — one soft and husky, the other a low bass rumble. She recognises both.

Summary
Sol kicks out a chair, and rummages in his desk drawer for a spare mug. "Can't believe Elysium's five already," he says, filling the mug with milky blep, "good idea bringing her here to get familiar with the schoolhouse."
Vace accepts the mug, absentmindedly folding his large hands around it. "I can't believe it either," he replies gruffly, "I can't believe she exists, and isn't—" he breaks off, making an abortive gesture.
--
Vace takes his daughter to visit the colony's schoolhouse, ahead of her first day at school. For Exo Week 2026.

from the house that we made our home,
Would it bend you, break you, overtake
your heart like it did my own?The day has finally come for the party to split up. The others will be able to visit and keep in touch with each other perfectly fine, they're all in Vaugarde. But...Odile will be across the sea. It will be much harder to keep in touch.
...Ah, but it's all right. She should just be content with the time she's had. She knows no connection she forms can be permanent.
It was inevitable.

Summary
...is the hand that rules the world.
When your daughter Mirabelle is born, you hold her and tell yourself you'll protect her to your dying breath. When she cries at night, you fly up to hold her, shush her, until she's asleep again. You buy her toys and comfort her as she teethes. You and Ferdinand have her tested for anything and everything, but luckily she's a very healthy baby. She does take a while to learn to crawl and walk because you keep carrying her everywhere, but that's okay. She can be little and helpless as long as she needs. There's no danger for her.
(You will protect her at all costs.)
. . .
Or, a prologue for "this cradle still burns like a hole in my chest," from the perspective of Mirabelle's mother.

You shake your head and flick off the last droplets of water. Whatever comes, just pretend like you can handle it. Rain or shine. Success or failure. Fake it for long enough and eventually you’ll feel real, right? Pretend you’re okay and, by the end of it all, you’ll forget you were pretending. Right?
They haven’t figured out you’re an imposter. Not yet, anyway.
