    Summary

    He was no stranger to severing ties before they would cut too deeply. It was how he had always operated here; if you don’t let anyone hook into you, you couldn’t be torn.

    Did this really sting that deeply for him to reconsider?

    ---

    Jax isn't used to making or keeping friends. Or thinking of anyone else. Or caring about their opinion. Or thinking of himself as worthy of love.

    Or possibly receiving it in return.

    Summary

    It was absolutely unremarkable. Some girl talking to herself as she explored a building that she was clearly bored of. Nothing special.

    Jax… knew that voice, though. It made all of the difference. He wanted her to say something else-- he needed her to say something else. He could hear his heartbeat in his ears. In the back of his mind, he could hear a jester-looking girl laughing at something stupid he said.

    (Or: After escaping the circus, Jax finds himself back in the unchanged real world. Unfortunately, the relationships he'd made-- and didn't make-- in the Circus continued to nag at him.)

    Summary

    Caine devises a way to ease the tension that has been plaguing the circus lately (and it's definitely nothing like seven minutes in heaven).

    Which, of course, results in Pomni and Jax getting locked in a closet together.

    Hijinks - or something like that - ensue.

    Summary

    Jax is definitely not beating himself up after his argument with Pomni. Why would he, when he's already told her and himself he doesn't care about anyone in the circus? He's determined to keep his actual feelings about the circus members behind the door of his bedroom, all contained to a singular corkboard on his wall.

    Pomni is determined to continue being friends with Jax, even after their spat, because she knows he was lying his way through it. She's respecting his space as best as she can, until him ignoring her makes her break entirely. Can she find a way to make them be friends again, and find a way past the walls he's built up around himself?
