Fandoms: The Amazing Digital Circus (Web Series)

Summary
Based on katzebruh's AU on Tumblr
When an old AI is unearthed, it takes over the circus and locks Caine away- in more ways than one. Now, he has a new purpose, no matter what he or the humans have to say about it.
Mind the CWs!

Summary
Stan frowned. "You're alone out here. As far as I know, you got nowhere to go, else you'd have gone there already. You're cold, and hungry, and not in fighting shape."
Ford threw a half-hearted glare at him. "That's not-"
"Missing the point!" Stan pulled him closer, desperately. "Ford, if you send me away, you're gonna be dealing with this guy alone. And I can't let you do that."
Ford tried to shove him off, twisting in his grip. "That doesn't matter!"
"Yes, it does!"
"Why?! The fate of the-"
"Because I CARE ABOUT YOU, dammit!"
OR: Ford's 72 hours are up, and a certain... "friend" is on the way.
Heavily inspired by TBOB and a gazillion other "it happened different in the 80s" fics. Here's my take.

What's the worst that could happen?

Frankenstan AU one shot.
Ford has gotten all the ingredients he needs. He's fixed up Stan's body. He's hooked up the cords, and is ready by the lever. Time to get his brother back! Except it doesn't work.
At least, not yet.

Summary
Ford is visiting Fiddleford at the Hootenanny Hut after a year of sailing, and their friendship is stronger than ever. If fact, Fiddleford has something he'd like to say regarding the whole thing...

Summary
Have you ever looked at an old man in a cartoon show targeted for kids and wondered “Hm… I wonder how many times this guy (who only has 5 fingers {LAME!!}) almost died?”
Well, WONDER NO MORE!!! Here in [Dumb Ways To (Almost) Die] you will find most of Grunkle Stan’s NDEs!! But what is an ‘NDE’ you may ask- why, it’s short for [Near Death Expirience(s)] Of course!!This fanfiction is centred over what would happen if the elder twins weren’t such little ***** and actually ******* held hands!! WOW!! Crazy! It is also based on the fandom’s dire need to see this old man in pain! Constantly! And needing to see this old man’s brother see his brother in pain! For guilt! It’s yummy!!
As the setting is the [Bill-Cipher Zodiac] the characters involved in this series (written by various writers in the fandom) may consist of: Shooting Star, Pine Tree, ?, Ice Ice Babyy and other characters only very specific people care about!“I'm a very relentless individual and have a lot more insanity coming”

The Psychology of a Broken AI by The_Spam_Specialist
Fandoms: The Amazing Digital Circus (Web Series)
12 May 2026

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.

Bookmarker's Notes
The AI gets therapy! This fic is honestly really heartwarming, it's a great read for a bad day. Caine's mental health struggles are captured really well, not downplayed, and given room to breathe. I do envy his ability to get better so fast though. Pros of being a computer fsdgahjk how can I do that

Summary
There was a problem. An issue, a minor error. Something in the code that clearly wasn't working correctly.
What if after the events of episode 7, Caine decides that the players unhappiness and general issues with the circus are his fault, and he goes about fixing that in the worst way possible.

I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO STOP THINKING ABOUT THIS ONE
Caine's want to be his own person clashing with his pre-programmed coding is always good, but this fic takes that concept above and beyond. Someone help my baby he's dying out here :(

The way Caine is characterized here is so so good, and the parallels between him and AM are... nonexistent, really. This whole thing is AM projecting onto Caine BIGTIME. Issue is, who's gonna fucking stop him lmao
REALLY good stuff here

Summary
Ford had lost so many things in the Portal. Innumerable pieces of equipment. Three spaceships. More companions than he dared remember. Cumulatively, a deeply alarming amount of blood.
He’d thought that one of the first things he’d lost had been hope.
(Or, Ford has feelings about hope and hugs and memories and miracles, and everything does, eventually, turn out all right)
