    Summary

    It's a stage.

    It's hard to tell in its dilapidated state. But he knows, instinctively, that he stands on a stage. Hardwood. Shining, once upon a time, he thinks. It's solid beneath his feet.

    He taps a foot against it. He receives feedback; pressure against his sole, an audible clack in the air.

    What a strange sensation.

    --
    A desperate act to save the circus leads to a haphazard reconstruction of Caine's corrupted code. But something is wrong. Now powerless and flooded with memories that do not belong to him, Caine believes he's another human.

    But if Caine thinks he's a human, and the players are busy trying to stop the circus from complete self-destruction, then who's the one running the show?

    Summary

    Why is he here, he does not remeber these hands, this face, this body. This isn't him, this isn't home. An ugly feeling creeps up on him. One that he knows he won't be able to escape from, not anymore.

    He misses the circus.

    Orrr

    The crew finally get out of that hell called the "circus". They're free.

    But were there always 7 of them?.

    Summary

    Set after chapter 8 because I refuse to accept that TADC has ended, let me cope.

    After Caine's death and AM eventually killing Ted out of boredom, a strange entity offers them a second chance: to live together as humans.

    While they try to live by themselves in a world they don't understand, they will have to deal with the burden of their past and an unknown feeling that grows the longer they spend together.

    Will they be able to redeem themselves and live happily ever after?

    Idk I'm horrible at summaries, but I'm better at writing misery and pain!

    Summary

    Deleting him was a mistake, Caine was sure of it, but he planned to forgive the humans after he escaped the Recycle Bin (wearing Scratch’s avatar) and saved the crumbling circus.

    Kinger, overjoyed to see his old friend returned from the dead, ignores the red flags and helps "Scratch" escape back into the real world with the rest of the circus members.

    Luckily, someone conveniently left Scratch’s not-quite-human body on standby for Caine to come join them. Blending in with the humans can’t be that hard, can it?

    Back in the circus, an old frenemy revives the abstracted players, who wake up to a world where their god and friends have abandoned them. In the circus, they have nothing but time to plan their revenge.

    Oh, and Scratch wants his body back.

    Summary

    The engineer takes my hand. His skin runs hot. Very hot. He doesn't let go at what I would gauge as a socially-acceptable handshake time interval. Are we just holding hands in the middle of the lab-workshop space? Guess we are.

    "I'm Rocky," he finally introduces himself. He has a hint of an accent, something lilting, melodic. I can't really place it.

    "Rocky," I repeat, slowly. "Like the movies?"

    "No," Rocky deadpans, giving me a look like I'm stupid. "Like the rocks."
