    Summary

    [Set POST ep 7!]
    [It will also follow through similar events of episode 8 and 9. Of course not a replication but there will be overlapping. But that will take a while to reach.]

    [NO EPISODE 9 SPOILERS!]

    "It took Jax three tries before he managed to steady his trembling hand to slot the key into the lock. He watched his fingers shake with a strange, clinical detachment, as if they belonged to someone else. 

    It took another three to recall which way to turn the key. 

    He slammed the door with what little energy he had left, then collapsed solemnly onto the bed with a pained groan. 

    This is going to be a looooong night."

    This fic is multi-character centric! While some chapters could be heavily Jax centric, everyone will still get a chance to shine. One of my goals for this fic is to explore platonic relationships which are not found in the show. As well as some romantic! Though the fic is not heavy for all of the lovey-dovey stuff.

    I hope yall will enjoy!

    Summary

    After ep 9 events The cast of the circus started to adapt to their new lives , knowing there are parts of them living their best lives in the real world…
    “we're in this together”
    somehow made everything brighter, when they started seeing each other as humans, as friends, they never forgot those friends who left , despite that..
    The last abstraction wasn't like any other one , not only because of who Jax was, nor because of who Mateo is ,“it” was calm..too calm, that huge tent in the middle of the circus that they all passed by and sometimes stopped drowning in thoughts…they made peace, but even the digital realm isn't stable

    Summary

    SPOILERS FOR THE LAST ACT

    Please only read if you have watched the last act :)

    “Caine… this isn't right”

    She is so sure, tone gentle but leaving no room for argument. It does nothing to stop him though as he sits here, body glitching and jolting from the mere struggle of it all. Caine knows that he has made so many mistakes with the humans but… he sees it in the way Pomni watches the tent, when she thinks no one is looking. The sadness that lingers there.

    At least, that's what he thinks. He isn't sure, not really. Not when it comes to emotions. He thought he knew… and perhaps now… maybe he does, if he can think and feel this way, maybe he can see the way it hurts them. The absence of all those from before. Their most recent loss…

    Summary

    Thrown into a new adventure before anyone has time to recover, Pomni and Jax are forced to work together while their fallout after the gun adventure still lingers heavily between them. Caine's unsolicited attempt to "fix" interpersonal problems only makes things worse, snowballing into something neither was ever prepared for.

    What begins as reluctant cooperation slowly gives way to trust, growing feelings and a confrontation with a past that refuses to stay buried.

    (A funnybunny fic, set shortly after the end of episode 6). There are no finale spoilers, don’t worry!

    Summary

    "You're not dead," Pomni said with a frown. "Not yet, at least. You're just — indisposed."

    At that, Jax gave her a long look as his mouth narrowed out into a little line. Then he sighed quietly. It wasn't the way he used to sigh, with dramatic posturing that begged the attention from anyone even remotely listening. It was small. Tired. Reflexive. Then he sat down with his knees to his chest, glaring into the dark water. The only light here, a single streetlamp, glowed weakly.

    "Denial is an ugly color on you. Clashes with your stupid hat."

    "Jax — "

    "I'm gone," he snapped. His voice echoed in the abyss. "Don't you get it? No one comes back from Abstraction. You're not saving me, you're not helping me grow. All you're doing is keeping my body from rotting." Jax's hands worked their way up to his head, squeezing as he growled, "You're talking to a ghost."


    or, a post-canon fix-it fic, featuring the De-Abstraction of Jax. It's messy and it takes time, but it's never too late to try.

    Summary

    This had been happening since Jax could remember, even before the circus. He knew it had something to do with his trauma, or whatever, but that didn't matter. What matters is that it sucked. It made him feel like a sniveling child; it made him feel weak.

    Or, that trope where Jax regresses involuntarily due to childhood trauma, his own actions, or whenever he feels bad about himself.

    "Please- I cannot guarantee anything but- if Kinger and I work at it. Dig through as much code as possible we could see how Jax and Queenie's code differs from the rest of the abstractions. And if there's anything we can work with- anything thing at all-"

    "They could be... brought back?" Pomni asks, her voice cracking softly.

    Caine only nods.

    Summary

    Pomni and the other five digital circus survivors wake up to find that the nightmare they’ve been living for the past several years was an experimental therapy gone wrong. Though much of what they experienced was an illusion, the deaths of the abstracted were very real. It is now up to them to seek justice while trying to reintegrate into their mundane lives.

    This is not a direction that I think the show will or should go- it’s just a canon-divergent AU that I thought I could tell an interesting story with.

    Post Episode 9. Pomni realizes that she's fallen in love with Jax. It's a terrible mistake, but this is coming from the same woman who breaks into abandoned buildings as a hobby. No one ever said that falling in love was logical.

    Caine's been re-instated in the circus (don't worry about it) and to show his support for his human friends, he's giving them the chance to remember their human names! the only problem is, the way he took the memories of their names from them also took a few memories of their life that may have been important to their identities. So, naturally, he turns this trip down memory lane into it's own adventure

    The one thing he asks is that no one walks into their memories alone. He knows enough about humans to know that thinking back on some memories requires a friend
