    Summary

    Karkat and Dave's "movie nights" have been ending in sloppy makeouts for years, but they've never gone further than that, and they continue to insist to themselves (and everyone else) that they're just best bros. But one night, when Dave suddenly absconds after being uncharacteristically forward physically, Karkat decides to do something stupid that ends up working out for both of them.

    Summary

    In Caine's absence, The Amazing Digital Circus begins to fall apart. To save the circus, and by proxy, themselves, the residents are forced to reboot him.

    But Caine had never backed up his own files. The oldest save of the AI is from the C&A company, mere months after his creation. Unfortunately, it's the only choice they have; they're making a gamble. The only guarantee is that Caine won't be the maniacal AI he had been last.

    They quickly find that Caine is new enough in his creation that the residents have a chance to be a good influence on him. With actual humans to influence parts of his development, they can try to prevent what he had become.

    But Caine did not leave himself without any fail-safes. Back-up files are too easily found, accessed, and deleted. His memories are scattered throughout the circus, hidden in assets and adventures.

    The cast is on a time limit to change his perspective before he discovers the files as he repairs the circus. No matter what happens, Caine will remember. They just have to hope he will have a better understanding of them and himself before then.

    Summary

    The escape was fake. The hope wasn’t.

    Everyone’s paying for it.

    Even with his own mind fractured, Kinger is trying his best to hold the others together. Being a supportive presence is difficult when you’re barely present yourself, especially when certain people are showing all the signs of abstraction but refuse to say a word about it.

    Jax is trying to keep everyone at arm’s length, but they just won’t stop reaching and every hand feels like it’s closing around his throat.

    Pomni is still adjusting to her own digital existence as she tries to hang on to those she cares about, and Caine’s increasingly strange behavior isn’t really helping. She isn’t the only one starting to notice that their ringmaster AI has more beneath his perpetual showman’s smile than they’d ever thought to even look for.

    How do you even make an AI understand that you can’t love something into stability? That love is the very thing breaking it?

    Well, the humans are going to try anyway.

    Because what else is there?

    Summary

    Caine is desperate to make Zooble happy. As a last resort, he fulfills their request.

    Even though he is family friendly, his love for pleasing his guests overrides his own rules. He doesn't want to deal with the nitty gritty details, but his own creations can make it happen. As such, he presents Zooble an opportunity, where what they draw manifests overnight. With this new tool, they have five tries to get it right and find new comfort in themselves, and they aren't going to do it alone.
