    Summary

    This short story was inspired by "Who Am I?" by Charlie_W_Hawthorn and takes place after chapter 37.

    Caly had been Alastor's therapist (much to his reluctance) for over two months before the battle at the hotel. Just as she was getting him to open up, he loses his memory. When she sees an opportunity to be alone with him, she takes a chance to see if he still trusts her or if she has to start back at the beginning.

    Summary

    Jax knew everyone in the circus hated him. And good riddance!

    He’s a jerk. And he might as well be. Because what’s the point? What’s the point in niceties and fake smiles? People like to smile and act like they’re all friends, but the second things turn messy, the second they see who you really are, you learn that the word “friend” actually has no weight at all.

    Everyone is nice and friendly and fake. And Jax doesn’t see the point in pretending. He never has.

    ...except he still pretends. Just in a different way now. He pretends he has control. Pretends that his life isn't dictated by an unstable AI.

    It's not that hard, really, it's not like he had much control before the circus. Hell, back when he had been a human, he wasn't even allowed to be a man.

    OR: Jax copes by lying to himself and pushing everyone away, by being an instigator, and it usually works... but recent events are reminding him just how little control he actually has.

    Summary

    "Sometimes, Jax really hates his life.

    He’s in a maid outfit. A fucking maid outfit.

    He can’t remember the last time he felt this uncomfortable, even in his own body. He wants to crawl out of his skin. He wants to punch something. He wants to kill everyone in this stupid circus."

    Summary

    Jax stares at the white screen. To think it gave them hope just moments before. To think he-

    He stares at the table, the buttons in his peripheral. His head is buzzing, he wants to laugh, he wants to cry, he wants to get out of here.

    It’s horribly, horribly quiet.

    “I really thought…” Gangle whimpers.

    He can feel eyes burning into his back. He doesn’t want to do this right now. Not again.

    Not that anyone cares what he wants.

    Zooble’s voice bounces into his ear. “What the [BOINK!] was that, Jax?” they seethe.
