Summary
A chain of unexpected events strands Pomni and Gummigoo. With no sign of immediate rescue, the two new friends set out to find the circus themselves, briefly stopping in Gummigoo’s supposedly non-existent village. The stay ends up longer than anticipated.
It's just one part of a world crammed full of bank heists, saloon brawls, marshmallow six-shooters and dodgy mine hideouts, toffee trains, candied ocean liners and the occasional vicious gumdropbear, all dripping with literal sugarcoating that keeps the family-unfriendly implications around a PG rating. Most of the time.
Pomni is tempted by the freedom to redefine herself and escape Caine’s presumed railroaded adventures. For Gummigoo, the map is painfully familiar yet absolutely alien, raising questions that he and Pomni might not be able to really answer. As time passes, the friends find the map, themselves, and their relationship changing for better and possibly worse.
Unable to summon Pomni back, Caine insists to the rest of the Circus that long-term entrapment in an adventure won’t cause lasting harm to either program or its participants. It’s soon apparent that even the A.I. ringmaster cannot anticipate the consequences hurtling towards them.

Summary
“My father tried to kill me twice. And before that…” Wolf trails off. “I don’t have much in the way of positive examples of parenting.”
Genichiro raises his eyebrows. “And my grandfather left me to die when I outlived my utility. The only difference between us there is that mine didn’t give enough of a shit to wield the sword himself, when he felt it was ‘appropriate.’ Poor Emma had to kill two of them for us.”
His voice is weak. “I did offer.”
“For someone who once gave me a whole speech about acting like a tool, you really have trouble letting go of that, don’t you?”
***
The journey west is neither quick, nor easy. They all have much to learn along the way. Immortality may be severed, but the weight of it still hangs around their necks, like the echo of iron shackles.
Five orphans march halfway across a continent, learn to live with each other, learn to live with themselves.

Do What Must Be Done by captainjackspearow

Summary
He thinks of a war-torn field, of men taking orders, of how much blood has been shed over Kuro, how much more is about to be. Of what it felt like to want to tear Owl to pieces the first time he saw his face, the pain of gripping his blade, the sting of it to his cheek. He will die for this.
(Owl finds an orphan on a battlefield. Isshin finds an orphan on a battlefield. Orangutan finds an orphan on a battlefield. Hirata claims an orphan from a battle of a different kind. The monks of Senpou take and make countless orphans. The hand that feeds does not do so out of kindness.)
An AU fix-it for the Return Ending, focusing on the five orphans and the decisions along the way that led them to seek an end to this stagnation, seek severance, seek something else entirely.

Summary
Genichiro loved his coffee, especially from McDonald's. He used to love Sekiro as well, but that was over. He only had a son to show for it.
