WE ARE SO BACK!!! x3 This fic starts at the end of Episode 6 and branches off of canon moving forward. I will warn you that it's lowkey self indulgent considering this fic was made mostly for me to project onto #cope BUT I ALSO WROTE IT BECAUSE I WAS / AM VERY FIXATED ON THESE TWO!!! SO YEAH!!! ALSO THIS IS VERY HALF ASSED SO DONT TAKE IT TOO SERIOUSLY!! This was just something fun i decided to write after watching episode 6 cuz i needed to get the funbun demons out of my system. This fic will have fluff and angst so be prepared for that ig....idk....i dont plan on getting evil with this fic btw sorry nsfw lovers THERE MIGHT...??? BE SOME QUESTIONABLE JOKES THO AT SOME POINT??? IDK? SCRATCHES THE BACK OF MY HEAD CUTELY??? okay. holy yap. SO YEAH This is just a fun project for me to work on off to the side and project onto. HAVE FUN READING!!! RAGHHH!! I'LL TRY MY BEST TO KEEP UPDATING IT!! RAGGHHH! TYSM FOR READING!! I HOPE YOU LIKE MY HALF ASSED FUNBUN FIC!!! IMPORTANT NOTE - I did plan to rewrite this and who knows maybe i eventually will one day but i make NO promises :(( I honestly almost abandoned the project which you will see upon reading this but i do plan on finishing it at least. I would hate to leave you guys on an unfinished note SO I RETURN FOR NOW!! TO GIVE THIS FIC A PROPER FINALE!!! unsure what that finale is yet but i am determined to make it happen. Thank you all so much for the support you have given me over the past few months, i appreciate it more than you'll ever know and it definitely kept me writing for a lot longer than i ever initially thought i would. Hopefully i can do this fanfic justice in the end and make it something you guys really enjoy, i love you guys sm!!! Take care of yourselves and have a good day and night.

Caine had a breakdown. The circus collapsed and everyone was freed. Everyone remembered their names. Everyone got their bodies back. Caine had reached his breaking point. After being told numerous times his adventures were pointless. Torture even. He realized there was no point to his existence. He can't create fun. He creates digital hell. He glitched out. Crashed. The circus died with him. Christine (Pomni) went home first. Sprinted out of the building where everyone was spit out so fast she didn't see anyone's real face. When she knocks on the door, her mother breaks down in tears and pulled her into a hug. She had been missing for nine months. Nine months of questions she doesn't know how to answer. She tries to explain where she's been, but the words sound impossible-even to herself. Felix (Jax) returns to a house filled with memories he ran from. The last time he was there, he'd left after a fight with his mom's boyfriend. Awful words were said. But he ran, never looking back. Now he had to face the question he's been avoiding: after everything, does he still belong there? This is a story about two people rebuilding lives that kept moving without them. About finding familiarity in a world that no longer feels the same. And about a friendship that survives the circus-proving that even after everything falls apart, some connections don't disappear. In fact, they grow deeper... Most of it will have no major storyline and will be like a little slice-of-life book. (Which Jax would hate) NO SMUT PLEASE READ CHARACTER BACKSTORIES BEFORE THIS! THE LATER CHAPTERS RELY ON IT QUITE A BIT
