    Summary

    When you find a video about a discontinued game from the 90s, you can’t help but be drawn in by the colourful exterior that hides beneath it something much darker. And also, perhaps, the game’s charming little AI had something to do with it, but that’s neither here nor there.

    All this leads you to blowing your most recent paycheque on possibly the worst decision of your life.

    Welcome to the circus!

    Summary

    You had reached your breaking point with Caine. Since he wouldn’t allow you to skip adventures, you decided to bite him back where it hurt – drag him along with you. What was supposed to be a taste of his own medicine somehow backfired horribly.

    You couldn’t get any peace from him. Your attempt to make him back off seemed to make him completely glued to you.

    It seemed that Jax had put it best when he choked your name out between manic laughter – “Caine has the hots for you?!”

    Great.

    Summary

    Set somewhat post Episode 5, but prior to Episode 8. An AU with the 'Reader' entering the Circus and altering the perceptions of the adventures and functioning as a sounding board for Caine...who is rather good at not listening. Chapter 1 introduces the Reader to the Circus, and subsequent chapters will gently delve into acclimating to it. This tale will eventually have explicit content, the tags will be updated accordingly with subsequent chapters, but ultimately this is a slow burn story. Don't expect things to get intense quickly.

    Episode spoiler information is marked in the story tags, please be mindful of that.
