    Summary

    When Dream escapes from prison, Tommy doesn't make it to Phil's; he dies, then crawls out of his own grave-- in Gotham. Now there's multiple people in spandex chasing after him, including someone with a red hood and a story of death eerily similar to his. Tommy can adapt to his surroundings, but there's always a chance Dream's lurking in the shadows, waiting for the perfect time to strike.

    Summary

    Jamie Tartt is 14 when he gets a new neighbor: Ted Lasso, the new Richmond gaffer.

    He keeps coming up to Jamie and trying to make friends. It's really fucking annoying. It's even more annoying when it works.

    Or: Jamie Tartt is living with his abusive dad. A string of events leads to Ted Lasso becoming his father figure and eventually helping him escape James Tartt Sr. (and getting him on a football team, dreams really do come true).

    Summary

    Caine already knows it's status. He still received all the error reports, despite being unable to fix anything. Seeing it shouldn't make it feel worse, but it somehow still does.

    His beautiful circus - his wonderful creation full of colour and noise and fun - is dull. The brilliant reds and yellows are dim reflections of themselves, and the entire map has a lower saturation than it should. There's large tears in the hitboxes of the walls, floors and ceiling, dropping into out-of-bounds areas that players shouldn't be able to see, let alone access. The gentle hum of background noise he keeps up for the daylight hours is gone, and everything is quiet except from the shuffles from the humans.

    Talking of his humans, they're all there too, tense, standing a decent ways back from him.

    "Oh great." Jax growls, "He was actually down there."

    -------------

    Despite being freed from his box, his performers still haven't reconnected him with the circus's main systems.
    Caine's very being is entangled with the circus, and being cut off from the majority of himself is so disorienting he can barely focus on the glares his cast is giving him.

    Summary

    Pomni could feel the tension in the air as each of them waited for Kinger to explain why he had called an emergency meeting.

    Kinger sat in an armchair, hands clasped in his lap and thumbs tapping together in a nervous rhythm as a heavy silence hung over everyone. Then, the chess piece took a deep breath and spoke, calmly and firmly. “I found one of Caine’s backup files.”

    Summary

         “Oh, just– that I had them, I guess.” Ryland says. He doesn't even really know where he's going with this. “None of my relationships were ever spectacular or anything. Probably because of me. My ex once said that I loved because I had to. I think I’m just thinking about how I'm gonna die without ever getting married or falling in love. Oh God– I don't think I've ever fallen in love.”

     

         “This upsets you.” Rocky observes.
