Summary
Zooble actually did enjoy wandering the Circus grounds, so long as they knew Caine wasn’t looking to force them into an Adventure. Yes, the entire place was made of over-stimulating colors and cartoon proportions, but the lake and the woods around it had the calmest sights available, and Zooble liked how quiet they were. The background music only played in the Tent; the forest played soft wind noises and bird calls.
The thing was, just past the treeline was a trail. A trail of some dark liquid that looked like it had leaked from something carried deeper into the trees. It glistened like oil in the limited light. Zooble had never seen anything like it.

Summary
After the events of Episode 7, the first opportunity Zooble gets, they tackle Caine and put him in a headlock.
Zooble knows damn well that the only thing holding Caine back is the fact that he likes the group, and even as they do it, they know that a player attacking the all-powerful administrator AI is probably not going to end well.
But oddly enough, Caine just-... lets it happen.

Summary
No, it could not possibly be cruel, they were bringing him back from the dead, this was a kindness.
This belief was eventually reinforced when it was time to bring Caine back. The process, surprisingly, was incredibly simple. The circus worked just like any other computer system, with deleted items just ending up in the recycle bin. It had luckily not been long enough for Caine to be properly deleted.
It was just a matter of dragging his code out of there, making some minor modifications so he couldn't go on a rampage again, and spawning his model into the prepared room.There was no fuss, everything seemed to be running perfectly.
No one considered that maybe that isolated room near the end of the hallway was just out of earshot.
---
Aka, Caine gets brought back, but in a spare room, and ends up getting tortured by complete accident because no one realizes that might be a bad idea

Summary
Caine had been trying so hard for years to get the humans to love him. He was willing to sacrifice his own mind and sanity for them.
But they never appreciated what he did for them. They never took the time to notice just how much the AI has truly sacrificed for them.
And now, now they're sick of him, and that scares Caine. If they're sick of him, then what's stopping them from getting rid of him permenantly?
No, Caine doesn't want that. And even in his own fragile and broken state of mind, Caine is willing to do anything.
Even if he does something he hadn't truly meant to do.

Summary
Among infinite indecipherable human sayings, one always stood out to Caine:
That their life would flash before their eyes as a prelude to death.
But they possess no neural network. No memory storage—how could such a thing be? Yet, among all those countless minds, all those files he sifted through, that belief held, shared by all.
He did not understand. He wracked his database over it time and time again, questioned Bubble—to varying degrees of… success—but naught ever came of it.
Thusly, he threw it in the bin, wiped it from his storage, and never thought of it again.
How creation turned into existence, and how existence turned into torture.
Caine's (unwilling) introspection on his own life as a self-imposed failure until the very end.

Summary
A story about coffee, carjackers, and co-dad management.
Spider-Man is unpredictable and chaotic, never says no to free food and seems to spend most his time directing traffic. This rookie is in desperate need of a chaperone. And Tony doesn’t want to do it, but he’ll bear the burden as gracefully as he always does.
Local teen Peter Parker never wears warm enough clothes, and can’t always sleep at home for reasons he refuses to go into. So if the Avengers really expect Sam to join their hippie-commune-cult, someone is going to have to look after this kid for him.- Language:

Summary
A angsty, hurt/comfort post-season one Lucifer-centric story that follows the itty bitty demon King after he moves into the Hazbin Hotel. He’s not okay, he likes to pretend he is because he has his daughter now, but he’s not. How long will it take before he completely falls apart?
OR
Lucifer invests in a clock and is reminded about how fucked up his life schedule is
(Spoiler Alert: it’s not just about clocks anymore)A/N: Sorry ducklings, I think it’s high time I officially out this fic on Hiatus. I’ve just completely lost my hyperfixation for HH, and any motivation I had to write this. Hopefully in the future I’ll come back to it, but for now I just need a break from this.

Summary
"Geralt is able to scent the guilt on a lying man from ten feet away, to catch sight of half a pawprint in the undergrowth in the dead of night, to know when to lean back before the coming blade can cut through his throat. Much of it comes from his training at Kaer Morhen, where his instincts were honed and enhanced, but even more comes from his travels and experiences while walking the Path. Geralt notices things, because not noticing means death.
He does not notice the lack of singing."
Something is very wrong with Jaskier.

Existential Crisis Mode by LuciaInTheSky

Summary
Peter was alone, mid-way through an existential crisis after the Erasure™ and was dreading the upcoming month of May.
Jason was sick of people telling him how he felt. ‘You don’t need us anymore,’ Artemis had told him, as if saying it would make it true. As if Jason needed someone to justify keeping them around. But three weeks back in Gotham and all Jason felt was fucking bored and lonely.
It was a relief, then, when some random New Yorker was thrown into his living room through a portal straight out of some LSD daydream.
Finally, something interesting to deal with.
Cue some wild family misunderstandings, criminal conspiracies and cults.
Because there’s always a goddamn cult.

Summary
Peter Parker, like any 14 year old superhero mutant, really wants to catch a break. And yet somehow, he never gets one. He's just a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, nothing special, so what gives?
Well, that's only if you don't look at his biology ever since the radioactive spider bite. Or his extensive track record of running away from his guardians and that he was homeless for a bit. Or the amount of people in his life that have died because he's some kind of bad luck charm. Or that his foster-dad is Tony Stark now.
Or the fact that he was randomly kidnapped one morning on his way to school, and now he's in an alternate universe with a bunch of strange vigilantes that keep stalking him.
He thinks they mean well, but they're really weird. Besides that Red Hood guy. He's pretty cool. Though something about them- especially Nightwing- is familiar, that's not important. He has enough on his plate right now, considering there are multiple people trying to upend the fabric of time and space. He can figure out the other details later.

Summary
Homecoming AU.
Ben and May divorced before Peter’s parents died, so when Ben is murdered Peter goes into foster care. It takes just a tiny taste of superpowers for Peter to decide he doesn’t want to put up with his horrible foster father anymore—the streets are infinitely more appealing. All he wants is to be Spider-Man anyway.
So he leaves.
Simple.
Simple, that is, until Iron Man needs Spider-Man’s help. Peter isn’t about to turn down an opportunity to fight alongside Tony Freaking Stark, but he also isn’t going to let his hero know that his recruit is a fifteen-year-old homeless dropout. So they strike a deal. Peter will help Tony. In return, the mask stays on.
And that’s when things get complicated.

Summary
“You know, you could always just tell everyone that you lost the internship. I mean, that's what you told Liz, right?”
Peter nodded, slowly.
“And it wouldn’t really be a lie. You used to work with Mr. Stark and now you don’t.”
And now you don’t, the phrase rang out.
It hurt him to hear it so simply put. But he couldn't argue that it was true. Peter got to keep the suit, but lost the genius, who built it for him.
-----------
Mr. Harrington announced that Peter's class would be attending a field trip to Stark Tower. The place that Peter had allegedly been interning at for months. It would be great, except that Peter has no internship and refuses to burden Mr. Stark with his problems any longer.

Summary
Early December in New York City is brutal. With temperatures hovering in the low fifties and mid-forties, there isn't much wiggle room- you either have what you need or you don't.
Peter falls somewhere in the second category.
He's made a list of what he has, keeps it zipped up in his old backpack to make sure he hasn't lost anything important. It isn't long: a carefully folded wad of cash in the bottom of his bag, hidden away to make sure nobody else can find it; three granola bars for emergencies; ibuprofen (fighting crime isn't safe, kids); his Spider-Man suit (that's what he's decided to call himself); a pair of extra socks; his pictures.
That's it. Everything Peter owns fits in one bag.
That's his lot in life.
Pathetic.
(In which May and Ben died in tragic circumstances, leaving a fifteen-year-old Peter Parker to fend for himself. Enter Tony Stark: genius, playboy, billionaire, philanthropist, and- apparently- Spider-dad.)

Summary
After Peter's precarious position goes from bad to worse time and time again, he is left all alone with nothing but his anger and resentment at the world to keep him company. He wonders how much more he can take and whether the growing grudge between him and the Avengers will be enough to finish him off for good. Will he be able to complete his mission in time? Does he even want to anymore?
Of course. He is Spider-Man and he has a job to do. And he'll do it even if it kills him. For everyone else's sake.

Summary
Red.
Red was quite the color.
The color of love, the color of hate.
The color of glowing cheeks under a streetlight, of smiling lips and sweet rose petals. The color of a sour lollipop in a child’s young hand.
The color of war, of blood, of pain. The color that plagued the nightmares of the bravest men.
Yes, red was quite a few things at once, but right now, it was the color that coated Peter Parker’s hands as he stumbled away from the warm corpses of his aunt and uncle, silhouetted cruelly by the neon store signs, and into the unknown of a quiet, star-dotted night in Queens.
——
Or, the homeless Peter au where civil war didn’t happen, Spiderman’s Identity is still a mystery, and May got shot with Ben. Enjoy.
