    Summary

    Abstraction is permanent.

    That doesn't mean unchanging.

    Or: Returning to a life you thought you left behind forever, what happens when your survival depends on your mental stability and one very determined jester, and does gender even matter when you're not a real person?

    Summary

    "You stared at me a lot too," Pomni says quietly. "Just kinda looked at me with all those eyes. I couldn't tell if you were actually listening to what I was saying or if you were just like... an animal watching your surroundings."
    "I was listening."
    Pomni turns her gigantic eyes on him, and through them he sees a reflection of the stars above. "You... were?"
    Jax swallows. "Every word."
    ———
    Jax hangs onto a familiar voice to anchor him in the infinite darkness, and gradually that void recedes. Now back from abstraction, he understands that if he wants to stay this way he must be honest with himself and the things he has done. Luckily, his anchor is here with him the whole way.

    Summary

    “Congrats on the second chance, darling! Do us all a favor- and make it count!”

    The circus has changed a lot, but Pomni’s mind still lingers on the past. When the abstractions suddenly begin to reawaken, the fragile peace that the members of the circus had been relying on starts to crumble, and past grievances resurface alongside old friends and new faces.

    The journey to a better future has always been a long one- but the show must go on.

    Summary

    It began with an alert in his email inbox- somebody had altered some code he wrote.
    Not a particularly unusual notification for Grant to get, considering he had been a computer scientist for more than three decades. It was slightly more unusual, however, considering the notification said that the code had been modified by Grant himself- something he had definitely not done- and also considering the system being altered had been shut down more than eighteen years ago.

    From: C&A - LOCAL [HQ]
    ALERT !
    [1337 /usr/ai/agent/caine] DELETED.

    ...What the hell.

    Or: Six people have been living their normal lives, entirely unaware of the copies of their consciousness trapped in a brightly-colored digital hellscape. That is, at least, until said copies escape the Circus, and six people wake up with both sets of memories, determined that the family they formed in a very different reality is one they will find again.
