    Summary

    Bubble has a brother.

    Well, the developers called him Abel but Bubble doesn’t like that so Bubble is Bubble. And Bubble has a brother.

    It’s one of those things Bubble knows deep within himself instinctively, without the humans programming that into him:

    Bubble’s a he, Bubble’s name is Bubble, and Bubble has a brother.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In which Bubble is the second AI, knows he has a brother in Caine, and while the humans want him to make them a digital afterlife Bubble's only really interested in his brother. Rescuing Caine from the cellar makes the system register him as a human user-- bound to all the same restrictions as them.

    Bubble will make the humans their heaven, but only so his brother is happy

    Summary

    This fic is based off the Ctrl-Alt-Del AU! The link and AU summary are in the beginning notes.

    Caine sets up karaoke for the humans as a reward for completing his adventure. When they ignore the songs he made in favor of singing their own human song from outside the circus, he is initially frustrated, but decides to use it to improve on his future adventures. He pores over it for days, and finds that it’s… actually pretty fun to listen to.

    Bubble sets up karaoke for the humans (and Caine). They start thinking of a song, and Caine remembers the one the humans sang back when he made a karaoke night for them. As it turns out, analyzing that song for so long actually paid off.

    Summary

    His veins are wires, his bones are servers, his brain is a data bank of everything he was ever given the privilege to be shown. His heart is this circus, his heart is his beautiful humans.

    -

    A discussion about whether Skittles or M&M’s are better goes strongly off topic, and Caine has a horrible time.

    Summary

    The CTRL-ALT-DEL-AU belongs to @ctrl-alt-del-au on Tumblr.

    "You just! Don't! LISTEN!"

    Pomni's words were playing though Caine's mind in an agonizing loop. In any other circumstances, he'd be able to erase that thought. Loan then to Bubble permanently, keep going on as intended.

    But this was not his Bubble.

    This was not his circus.

    Yet, these were his humans.

    They didn't remember him. They did not know he was an ai. They had just come back from the Candy Canyon Kingdom.

    Why was this happening?

    "You just! Don't! LISTEN!"

    He could win their favor.

    He could win their love, and affection.

    He had to.

    He had nothing left but this second chance.

    And, ideally, he'd do it WITHOUT making himself a horrible, cruel monster that no one loved in the process.

    "You just! Don't! LISTEN!"

    ... Fine.

    If listening was what it took...

    Then Caine would listen.

    He would be the best at it.
