Summary
The price of unwanted immortality is steep, but this is a sacrifice that Elias is willing to have his Archivist make.
And Jonathan, his Archivist, his self-made Galatea, is as beautiful and blessed as he has always been.
Even with the absence of his legs.
( A reimagined consequence of what may have developed if Elias were there in the Panopticon when Jon and Martin escaped the Lonely)

Summary
“Jonah Magnus.” The cloudy silhouette snarled as it’s hand clamped tightly around Jonah's ascot. That was indeed his name, but Jonah couldn’t begin to fathom what he did to have it spat out with such hatred.
But nonetheless, Jonah was a gentleman and he would kindly address the angry figure as politely as possible, “Yes, and you are?”
“What?” The form spluttered as it slowly came into focus. Ah, yes. That probably wasn’t the proper response to being held at gunpoint by a random stranger. Must have been the blow to his head.
(Or in which Jonathan Sims goes back in time and tries to pull a Terminator, but fails and Jonah Magnus finds a new mystery to solve.)

Summary
When the creature feeds, it remembers many things. It sees something called a plane crash through the sky into a sea of sand that is not green and cold, but instead golden and unbearably hot. The creature remembers pain and loss and monsters that are not itself and it remembers faces and blood and grief.
But when the sight of The Tower shines upon the creature, the moment passes, and all is lost in that blinding light.
(Or in other words, Jon is a monster without memory and Jonah is more than happy to take him in)

The Issue with Stochastic Gradient Descent and Other Computing Terms that probably shouldn't be Mapped to Real Life by Anonymous
Fandoms: The Amazing Digital Circus (Web Series)
01 Jun 2026

Summary
Pomni wasn’t really sure what to expect when she threw her hat in the ring for Operation: RETRIEVE CAINE. All she knew was that someone had to do it, and she sure as fuck didn’t think any of the others would do it.
The entire thing hinged on the hope that his file still existed somewhere in the bin since for some reason, Kinger couldn’t just find the file directly from their new computer. Some explanation about indexes and file corruption that went over her head- but because of this, someone needed to be deleted and dropped into the bin to interact with him and hopefully get a file reference to him, so that hopefully, when they’re brought back, he (or at least something Caine-adjacent) gets dragged back as well.
Hopefully.
God, this is beyond fucked.
---
In a last-ditch attempt to stop the circus from falling apart, Pomni gets sent into the bin to retrieve Caine, which, if everything went well, should restore functionality to the Circus. It should be fine, probably- it’ll be just like some convoluted high stakes adventure! Easy-peasy lemon-squeezy.It’s too bad files don’t really work like that.

Summary
"Cecil?" the kid asks, looking very shocked for some reason. "You have hair!"
Cecil feels his jaw twitch.
The hell?
But the kid just bursts into hysterical laughter. It’s high pitched and crackling and… Yeah, okay, he is crying. Again, what the hell?
____________________________Or the timeline where the fight with Angstrom Levy ends even worse and Mark finds himself stranded in another dimension AND the past. So an indefinite number of nervous breakdowns after, he has no other choice but to seek help from Cecil, right?

The Underground Revenants, and the Amphiptere by sherwoodfox
Fandoms: Better Call Saul (TV)
12 Apr 2026
Tags
Summary
The spirits of those who die a violent death are liable to become trapped on earth. Ghosts, amorphous shades that linger around their own graves. Such beings are rarely perceived by the living. Maybe, as a cold spot, or a wind from nowhere- a whisper in the shell of one’s ear. That doesn't mean they aren’t there.
The underground laboratory built by Gustavo Fring is haunted. The ghosts, he placed there himself- one remains because of unfulfilled vengeance, and the other, because he doesn’t understand his own death. Both were killed by gunshot wounds. One was killed by the other.
What, in undeath, could two such phantoms have to talk about? A wolf and a sheepdog, forced to haunt the same pit. Both, it seems, are unable to find the peace required to leave.
At times, the laboratory is also visited by another spirit. This one, an amphiptere- a serpent with an angel's wings.

Summary
For the sake of bullshit government efficiency, countless American federal workers are let go from their jobs in the summer of 2025. It was only a matter of time before the Department of National Identity was hit, as no one knows what they actually do. Who would have thought this would set off a chain reaction leading to the reveal of... immortal personified country people who walk among us.
This is a story about government corruption, personal liberty, the power of collective strength, caring for your neighbor, and loving one another without giving a damn who sees it. Also, the Stamp Act of 1765.
