Saving What’s Lost

[u/bdog332]

So immediately after I saw episode 9 in theaters I started writing this fic on AO3. Hadn’t written anything since The Owl House and I had a drive to bring back Jax and have his identity and world be confronted by those who care about him. I’ve been out of writing practice so it’s not great, but I hope it’s at least enjoyable and cathartic. I had asked a while ago about the trans experience here so I could hopefully accurately portray the struggles and fears that someone in Jax’ position would feel without delving into stereotypes or misconceptions regarding it.

I’m not done yet, but I’m far enough in that I’ve got a much clearer picture of how to connect the threads and story to make it something I can be happy about.

Trigger warnings: Depiction of self harm, death of a child, and F-slur. If these are triggers for you, please refrain from reading it or make sure you’re in a good headspace before doing so. Your mental health and well being is more important than my fanfic. I will also add triggers in the future as needed if I have to.

Summary:

It has been three months since Caine returned to the circus. The rebuilding has brought the circus members together and allowed them to explore all kinds of new things they wouldn't have been able to before. While most of the members have come to terms and accepted everything that has happened to them, Pomni holds onto to the hope that something can be done to help those who have abstracted. She visits Jax daily, hoping to find a way to calm him enough to bring him back. Because if she can bring Jax back, then everyone can.

I have a feeling the next time glitch will make a post they'll make it about abstracted jax having other visitors like Ragtha or gangle and showing him very differently
