    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

    Jax confronts Zooble about the maid outfit, what follows... is the first domino that flips the circus itself onto its head.

    or: Transfem Jax re-realises herself with the help of Zooble and eventually Gangle... then everything changes.

     

    This fic was fully outlined by my wife and I after we'd watched the Episode 9 trailer, and as it turned out, some parts we have planned out were really close to some of what actually ended up happening in the episode, which is why this technically spoilers, even though it wasn't meant to be, so we waited until the episode released to post this :)

    We've since watched the actual episode itself and had a bit of a chuckle at the 'hey, that's what we did!' of it. We'll be sticking to what we outlined, so don't consider this to be following the canon of Episode 9.

    Summary

    Where there is a will, there is a way. And there is definitely a way to un-corrupt computer files, and therefore it should definitely be possible to unabstract people. Thus, with Caine's help, the gang construct a plan to start unabstracting people one by one to build the Circus into a large community, starting with Jax. While Kinger and Caine work through the code at a console, Pomni goes back into Jax's mindscape to help him address and unpack his maladaptive thought patterns. Not long thereafter, Jax is tasked with something only he can do— replicating the process on Ribbit. We watch this play out concurrently in present-day sequences of Jax's foray into Ribbit's mindscape (written in present tense) and Pomni's second visit with Jax (written in past tense), unraveling the threads of two troubled psyches by following the trail left by Jax's mistakes.
