Summary
In the Titan's Head, there is a place only a few people know about. It is a mass graveyard - a dumping ground for all that the former Emperor deemed a failure. Skeletons piled onto each other, hundreds of them or so it seems, down here in the darkness of the pit. It was kept a secret for centuries. But now, the few who know aren't eager to keep the secrets anymore.
On what feels like a random day, two children tell the adults what they know. What follows after are revelations that nobody is prepared to handle. But what other choice do they have - somebody had to fix this mess.
Or, King and the Collector tell everybody about the pit with the skeletons of the Golden Guards. Things escalate from there.

Summary

“Hunter!”
A pool of golden light started from below his chest, enveloping the array before anyone had time to react.

Summary
Cesare opens his eyes, unclenches his fists, and in the center of his chest where Caligari’s icy grip has held him for a thousand long, frozen years, he does not feel the cold. Instead, he feels a sharp, tightening pain, like a belt around his lungs—lungs?—shrinking, constricting his chest.
He sits up with a jolt, opens his mouth, and with an instinct that has been long dead in him, tries to take in a breath.
It’s harder than the humans make it look.

Summary
He turned to look at Conrad across the table, who didn't say anything. But he hoped Conrad would pick up on his mental signals and just let Allen have this one.
“If you like carving wood so much, boss, I got some tools in my garage somewhere. ‘Could save you from using up kitchen knives.”
Cesare went silent at the mention of wood carving.
“Let me grab my stuff.” He finally says, stepping back. “After the dinner rush!”
Fuck. Why didn't he think of buying carving tools?After a bit of trial and error, Cesare and Allen start living together and Allen feels like it's a dream come true. That is, until he checks on Cesare one night and, instead of the older man he's used to seeing, he finds a young, Venetian Cesare sleeping where the old one used to be.
As it turns out, when things feel too good to be true, that's probably because they are.title and song lyrics are from Home Again by Park Lane

Summary
With Cesare and Steve gone, the food truck employees are at a loss on how to get their bosses home. Unfortunately for them, they are up against a being who is not willing to let that happen.
Of course, it sure would be easier if Cesare could be convinced people actually wanted him around.
A Bigtop Burger s3 rewrite where Caligari is much harder to thwart. Splits off after Venezia, Cesare and Zomburger centric.
