Warning: This AU contains dark and mature themes such as angst, relationship struggles, pregnancy, childbirth, mpreg (though not fetishized), child neglectment and endangerment, or etc that young people may not understand. Viewer discretion is advised.
Disclaimer: This is NOT canon to the original AU, it's just a side AU. And I will state, usually mpreg makes me SUPER uncomfortable unless there's a reason behind it. As I will say with EVERY TADC ship, they are implied to be in a video game, so obviously they won't follow biology. Also, don't ask why I'm up at 2 in the morning writing this bc idk, I'm just not tired-💀🙏
Anyways, the premise of this AU is that Caine and Kinger have a child, but Caine is overwhelmed and confused bc his code doesn't allow romantic relationships or kids among participants, so his code doesn't know whether to delete the kid or not bc, well, Caine himself is an AI, not a participant.
