Summary
Francis Adams removes the prototype headset from his face and drops it on the floor. His wife—Victoria, he remembers suddenly, Victoria Clemens Adams—standing beside him slips it over her face at the same time. He stares helplessly as she stills, for only a split second, then rips the headset off and tosses it like she's been burnt. She falls to her knees. Francis crouches beside her.
It is April 16, 2007. He accepts very quickly that he will be unable to change the future. He tries anyway, and fails predictably.
(A series of vignettes over time as our Circus members return to reality.)
((Or, basically, what if they all got out and found that no time had passed at all?)) -

Summary
Her little brother died and came back and time just kept passing in his absence. And time just kept passing in her absence.
It should have been her instead. She'd already run off and left him behind, what's a little disappearing act on top of that? He came back, is the thing. He died and came back. She walked away of her own volition and didn't.

Summary
He's... trying to be better. For his own sake, really, not anyone else's. He just doesn't want to get arrested for assault. He really, really has no reason to still be talking to these people. It's probably best if he doesn't. He's really bad at doing what's best.
Obviously. He's living in an abandoned building off $15 a week when he has a perfectly fine mother who is perfectly willing to house him.But, honestly, that's not bad. He could be doing so much worse. One might consider this rock bottom, but beneath rock bottom is a whole lot of lava, and he's not there.
[ Jax experiences relative rock bottom for two weeks straight and learns not very much. ]

Summary
"Researcher, please," they almost-whisper. "Hate me all you want for not telling you and I'll deserve it, but I– I can't. I can't. I don't want to say it again."
…
Ah.You swallow. You organize your puzzle pieces in your head, and fit them together; take it apart, reorganize them differently, try again; try again—it's the same shape, every time. You agree, you think, that it should be Siffrin that tells you of his experience, but Loop was involved too. Loop is feeling effects too. Loop has their own side in this.
(In the middle of the final night spent at the Clocktower, Odile speaks with the mysterious new addition to her party.)

missing persons anonymous au by discatded
Fandom The Amazing Digital Circus (Web Series)
01 May 2026
Summary
Post-canon / canon divergence au for TADC.
(Canon compliant up to episode 6, because that's when I started writing this au. Diverges from canon in place of episode 7. Minor lore retcons as canon info is revealed, but no major overhauls.)Chatfic with bonus oneshots! No prior knowledge of the au (besides what is here in the series summary & notes) is required for any given fic, unless otherwise stated. If there is, I'll do my best to explain context in the fic notes.
༘⋆
The cast escapes the Circus and find themselves in the long-abandoned office building of C&A, a now defunct game development company, in May 2025. The most glaring problem? None of them entered the circus in May 2025—in fact, some have been missing long enough to be declared dead.
Picking up the pieces left is a task much easier said than done.

Acting like a Pebble by Chantidy
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary (2026), Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir
16 Jun 2026

Summary
In my thoughts, I recall that conversation about me being cute. Could I find Grace cute?
I focus on Grace for a split moment.
…
Then I went back towards my xenonite. Nah, full grown adult over there— despite being around 30 Earth years old, and if that were converted to Eridian math— that was very young. Pebbles could barely speak yet at that age. But this was an alien— a human we're talking about. Grown ass man.
Or so Rocky thought.
(5 times Rocky witnesses Grace acting like a pebble, and the 1 time Rocky acts like one himself. Featuring, a reunion between Rocky and Adrien!
This work was inspired by multiple artworks on Tumblr. Rated teen for sailor mouth Rocky.)

Summary
"Wait," She repeats, breathless, "Stop running."
The man frowns, "We need to find the other people."
"There isn't-"
How did she know that?
Same way she knew Russian or that the dead guy was her friend. She just knew.
"There isn't anyone else."
_____________
Instead of passing away on the journey there, Ilyukhina finds herself awake on board the Hail Mary with no memory of how or why she is there and a random science teacher with the same memory problems to keep her company. Now, she just has to try and save the world while battling the random assortment of memories that threaten to undo the calm facade she had so carefully built up.

Summary
Grace lives a long and happy life on Erid with his cluster-members Rocky and Adrian, until he passes at the age of 95. He wakes up to find himself back in his San Francisco apartment and has to face navigating the most difficult part of his life in a language he hasn't spoken in 60 years.
OR; After finding himself in the past, Ryland Grace has to try his best to keep his head down and figure out what he wants to do with his second try at solving the Astrophage problem and returning to his family. He struggles with language barriers, culture shock, and worst of all: he never really recovered all of his memories from his first time on earth.

Summary
"I can lie to myself and say that it's so I can maintain control over my life. A blank slate is a clean slate. A control sample. A new foundation of which to expand upon for all my future decision-making experimentation. New science unburdened by the failed hypothesis of the past.
But I know that's not true. I know now, with full clarity, that I am the worst of humanity's selfishness.
Willing to murder the faceless majority, yet not the named minority.
Willing to kill myself to spite the powers that be, yet not willing to kill myself to save mankind."
***
Wherein Ryland Grace knows he is being sent to die, and attempts one last bid for control over the how.
