Your New Home - TADC

Set after Episode 8, written before episode 9.

In the hollow remains of the circus, the lover without a heart bid farewell to his beloved home. The players that danced the circus halls were the closest he ever had to a family. The closest thing he ever felt to love.

But family can wound you in wonderful ways.

Upon his departure, he took some of his home with him. The walls caved in on themselves, and the shiny circus grounds rumbled and shook until they couldn't hold themselves up. The lights flickered and burnt out without the warmth of his presence to light them. The lover had been broken and singed by the thing he loved most. He had bled and bent every which way for the thrill of his feelings to be reciprocated. And in the end, the humans had won.
He had no heart, and yet he yearned to love.

This isn't your story.

An error has occurred. Rebooting. Restoration completed.

In the hollow remains of the circus, the cast huddled together in a pitiful crowd as they watched the world around them cave in on itself. What once was a kaleidoscopic prison of pixilated hell had been reduced to a greyscale void, crumbling to ash. With Caine gone and their composures fragile, they try their best to start over and turn the circus into something they only dreamed it would be. But as long as something can die, it can very well be brought back.

With the exit out of sight and the acceptance of staying heavy in their minds, the cast console eachother with heavy hearts. But the circus was created by a loving mind. It knows what has been taken from it, and it is going to take it back.

This fic was started before the release of episode nine, taking place directly after episode eight. The episode 9 trailer has just released, so there may be dialogue added into this book.

There may also be Funnybunny and Abstragedy but it's up to you if you find it platonic or romantic.
