#flii rambles

I'm sorry in advance, tooth man is rattling my brain. Fluff prompts soon maybe.

Showtime (Caine x Pomni): Caine's attraction to Pomni is one-sided, but she fakes a relationship with him in order to try and manipulate his adventures for the others. When the truth comes out, she's horrified to discover he actually considers this a win-win: he gets to learn what humans like and gets to date her!

Bucktooth (Caine x Jax): Post episode 7. Jax is all too willing to play any role he is given to escape his real life. If that includes being the ringmaster's personal yesman as the circus crumbles around him, then so be it. And given the ringmaster's deteriorating state? He needs someone he can confide EVERY horrible, nasty thought in.

Bowtie (Caine x Ragatha): Also post episode 7. Ragatha is always so sweet, so kind. When everyone else refuses to indulge him, Caine finds himself turning more and more to Ragatha, who is too polite to turn him down, leading her onto more and more "solo adventures" that have become a little blatantly romantic.

Royalteeth (Caine x Kinger): Caine had always admired Kinger greatly, but never had the courage to approach while Queenie was around. Yet after Queenie's abstraction, Kinger was too despondent to even consider love. How convenient for Caine that he managed to find a way to "unabstract" her... while really just wearing a different guise to get closer to his favourite king.

Crookedteeth (Caine x Zooble): In an increasingly desperate attempt to regain Zooble's favour, Zooble is soon finding that anything they say to Caine is being taken as a request. Things soon get out of control as they realize how flexible the ringmaster can be with their language.

Ribbonfloss (Caine x Gangle, rarepair ahoy?): Gangle is so fragile, and it fuels Caine's desire to be needed perhaps too much. If the adventures are a little harder, maybe she'll come to him more often! And after all that, maybe he needs to start fixing her hands-on as well.

On the flip side, imagine a Caine post-series who is thinking about renaming himself again. He doesn't want to be a murderer, he doesn't want to lord over his power, and on some level, he doesn't want to think about his brother who is still out there and likely better off without him. He goes through a variety of names- Ryan's too normal, Melchizedek is too much a mouthful, so on and so forth. Until he realizes he just doesn't want or need to change his name at all.

Don't read below the cut unless you are willing to see spoilers!

Warning: sort of suggestive?? it's more like anti-suggestive lol.
