    Or, Not Another Unabstracted Transfem Jax Story

    Nothing innovative here, just a little personal writing project I wrote as catharsis in the wake of Episode 9.

    Jax comes back with a task given by an old friend.

    Summary

    Based on this incorrect quote I made a while ago...
    Kinger: I love my four daughters.
    Zooble: ...Kinger, I'm not a girl.
    Kinger: Oh, I know!
    Jax/Daisy: *sweats anxiously in the background*

    OR: Kinger confesses his love for his adopted daughters (and Zoobles), Jax overhears and tries very hard not to think about what that may mean, only to realize that hey, maybe that fourth daughter is JAX.
    ...But that wouldn't work, because Jax is a guy, right?
    Right?

    Summary

    With Caine's death and the circus falling apart at the seams, Pomni is barely keeping it together for the sake of everyone else. After all, everyone's counting on her. Relying on her. But when Jax lashes out at her and severs the last thread of her sanity keeping her from abstracting, what will he and the rest of the circus members do?

    Or

    A Finale AU fic where Pomni abstracts instead of Jax and Jax is forced to face the consequences of his actions.

    Summary

    Jax thought there would be a cutscene. Something like the screen fading to black, music, credits… Some stupid voice of Caine from above would tell us that we passed the game and won (or lost?)

    Nothing happened. Just… it became quiet. Or loud. He wasn’t even sure which of those. That obsessive circus background music disappeared, the one Jax was now hearing in his head just like that. However, rustling appeared. The ticking of a clock. Sounds… NPCs? For some reason there were more of them than usual.

    Okay, new realistic prank. Now some new adventure will start? Where is Caine?

    -

    The gang is leaving the circus. Now they face the painful task of reintegrating into a world that kept moving on without them.

    Summary

    A few weeks after stabilizing the Circus and coming to terms with their permanent life there, the gang agrees to bring Caine back- on the condition that Kinger rewrites his code and removes his power over the world.

    Caine awakens to find himself on relatively equal footing with humans for the first time in his life. Can he learn to listen and understand them now that he's no longer bound to his program's original purpose? Will the humans ever be able to truly forgive him for everything he's done to them? Can anything truly change?

    Featuring Caine trying human things, found family bonding, and a healthy dose of angst while everyone processes their various traumas and learns to accept this new world they're making together. Or tries to, anyway.
