ButtonBlossom

"Sorry that your first day had to be so....terrible?"

- Ragatha to Pomni as she's glitching out.

ButtonBlossom is the femslash ship between Pomni and Ragatha from the The Amazing Digital Circus fandom.

Pilot
In the beginning of the pilot, Pomni is suddenly transported into the digital world. While Pomni is worried, Ragatha assures her that everything is going to be okay. Later in the pilot, Ragatha offers to check on Kaufmo since he did not appear in the intro. She takes Pomni and Jax along with her to the hallways. Ragatha explains to Pomni that Caine sets up adventures so that the cast doesn't lost their minds trying to find an exit and reach a breaking point where something terrible can happen to you. Realizing she's rambling, Ragatha tells Pomni that it's not something that they should dive into right now. The three of them find out that Kaufmo has been abstracted after losing his mind trying to find the exit. While Jax books it, Ragatha and Pomni try to calm down Kaufmo. Ragatha tries to apologize to Kaufmo for fake laughing at his jokes earlier, claiming she was just having a bad day. Kaufmo ends up attacking Ragatha, causing her to glitch out. Pomni tries to grab her hand but her hand ends up glitching out. Pomni then apologizes to Ragatha before running away from Kaufmo. After outrunning Kaufmo, Pomni returns to Ragatha and apologizes again for running away and not helping her. Ragatha also apologizes to Pomni for her first day being so terrible. Pomni assures her that everything is okay and now she will get Caine to fix Kaufmo. However, she gets distracted by the exit door and ends up in the void. When Caine catches Pomni trying to leave, he sends Pomni back to the circus and fixes Ragatha but unfortunately banishes Kaufmo into the cellar. Ragatha awkwardly walks to Pomni rubbing her arm. The two don't say anything except awkwardly stand next to each other, both feeling bad about what just happened.

On AO3, the Pomni/Ragatha tag has over 70+ fics as romantic, being noticeably more popular on the platonic side, this one having 95+ works. It is the first most written ship for both Pomni and Ragatha.
