    You were loved. The Beloved Little Princess, the servants coo as the little girl passes through the halls with her brothers, always attentive and protective. Your father, albeit busy behind his desk, always made time for you. However that all changed when your new mother was introduced, a step-sister following. She reminded you of a doll. She was bright and cheerful at first but since your brothers didn't accept her, and your father barely paid attention to her, she started to act differently. Your new mother wanted to make her daughter the princess of the L/n family, and she will do anything, anything at all to make it happen. The first step was getting you out of the picture. Little by little, with staged accidents which her daughter gladly played the part, their love, trust, and respect for you disappeared. The pair always played the victim, accusing you of not wanting them to be apart of the family. Years flew by with this torment, no matter how much your pleaded, begged them to realize that you would never do any of that. They never listened, and the breaking point came when you finally realized that nothing will ever change. It will always be her, not you. So, the first chance you got you left that house. Best decision you could ever make. The small cramped apartment might be a drastic change from your lavish bedroom, but you were away from them. You wanted to turn a new leaf in this small city and have a normal loving life. Who knew that you'd be living a life far from normal as a horror circus rolls into town and you catch their attention when you saved their quiet Pierrot. The love you so craved from family, he will give it to you, destroy anything that dares to snuff it out, and give you all that is his. Though, he might not be the only one...

    WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION How do you trust the ground when all you've known is flight? In this breathtaking debut, Leigh Ansell has created a compelling, heartbreaking, and truly engaging story about a young girl used to flying high only to be faced with living life with her two feet firmly on the ground . . . Seventeen-year-old Corey Ryder can't remember a time when she wasn't gliding through the air of Cirque Mystique's big top. As a trapeze artist in a traveling circus, Corey wakes up every day in a different place, buzzing for the moment she can suspend gravity during the night's performance. When the circus pulls into small-town Sherwood, California, everything seems normal - aside from meeting the exceptionally cute Luke Everett at a local diner. But that night, in the midst of the performance, tragedy strikes and flames overtake the tent. While Corey narrowly escapes, in the ashes of the circus pitch lies the only home she's ever known. Repeatedly thrown out of her comfort zone, Corey must learn how to push toward her future without forgetting her past, what it means to be a daughter to a mother she's never known, and how to navigate the confusing magic of first love, even as she performs the high-wire act of being true to who you really are.

    Well, hello everyone! You can call me Kuehl, and I'll be responsible for telling you this story. The Digital Circus is not my creation, so the characters are not mine and neither is the main story. Because of this, new chapters will be released when new episodes come out (I'm writing this when we only have up to the 7th episode released). I may include some non-canonical scenarios throughout the story, but the main plot depends on the releases. This fanfic will focus on Jax. It's one of my first fics, so I'm open to hearing any suggestions! I originally wrote it in Portuguese but I'm translating it into English! Enjoy the story everyone :3 1st Place in Tags: 20/12/25 Jax 26/12/25 Theamazingdigitalcircus 19/12/25 digital 19/12/25 digitalCircus 17/12/25 Cain

    It has been 7 years since you joined the circus. You only knew that as you had been counting each day with tallys in your notebook that you hid under your pillow at night. It was like sleeping on the days you had lost,replacing them with your dreams of the original life now gone probably for forever. Your relationship with the group was varied depending on the person but your most interesting connection was with the "Ringmaster" or some would say your "Prison warden" but the group called him Caine. Caine was the AI who looked after humans who ended up in the circus! He kept things in control and sent the gang off on adventures!... ... but what happens when one link in the chain begins to break?

    Olivia Johnson never expected herself to fall for someone so easily. Especially not Joshua Rodriguez, the local prankster and joke. But here she was a couple months later, laughing at his dumb jokes and sharing cotton candy at the county fair-falling harder than she ever meant to. Everything went wrong after that night. Now Josh is nowhere to be found. He disappeared. Vanished. The police ruled it a suicide and closed the case. Now Olivia's different-quiet, closed off, drifting. Josh had been her anchor, and without him, she was in freefall. Until her mom buys her a new video game for her birthday. A game called the Amazing Digital Circus. She finds herself stuck in this game with a new name and five other people, but gains interest in someone in particular. A tall periwinkle rabbit named Jax. While trying to hide her scars and solve the mystery of Josh's disappearance, she begins to feel something unexpected for Jax. Something familiar. Something real. The deeper she falls into this digital world, the closer she gets to a truth she may not be ready to face. Check my acc for the XTRAS story!! I don't own TADC or the characters!

    Beneath the shimmering lights of Cirque Éclipse, every smile hides a secret-and every illusion bleeds with truth. Alouette has always danced on the edge of wonder and danger, her performances blurring the line between reality and reverie. But when Luka, the quiet stagehand with kind eyes, begins to change, she feels the world around her shift-fracturing in ways she can't explain. Behind Luka's face lurks something ancient. Something patient. And as shadows coil through the circus tents and whispers of old gods rise again, Alouette finds herself caught in a web of love, deceit, and something far darker than either. Because every mirror hides a crack. And through those cracks, something is watching.

    Rewrite the Stars Evelyn Grace was born into privilege-raised beneath chandeliers, wrapped in silk, and expected to live a life already written for her. But behind society's perfect image lies a restless heart drawn not to ballrooms, but to firelight and freedom. When she joins P.T. Barnum's circus, Evelyn chooses spectacle over safety, passion over propriety. Beneath the canvas tent, she becomes something new: a performer, an artist, a force impossible to ignore. Phillip Carlyle has spent his life doing what is expected of him. Groomed for respectability, bound by legacy, and trapped by invisible rules, he never imagined a world beyond society's approval-until the circus pulls him in, and Evelyn Grace changes everything. As their worlds collide, desire grows where it should not, and love dares to bloom in the space between expectation and truth. With society watching, families judging, and stars that refuse to align, Phillip and Evelyn must decide whether love is worth the cost of defying the lives chosen for them. Because some stories are written for us. And some are rewritten-one brave choice at a time.

    The name 'The Tents We Call Home' represents the idea that home isn't a place, but it's the people you find and the safety you create. (Many trigger warnings such as mention of SA, abuse, blood, and more as the story continues) (original Gon and Killua art doesn't belong to me!!!! only the text and party stings from Canva) This is a circus hxh AU with killugon and leopika in this story, everyone is between the ages 10-16 and are all runaways from either toxic households or just people who wanted a fresh start. Some characters might act differently than in the show. (CHARACTER STORYS) --Gon in this story was raised by Ging, and he didn't take care of Gon properly cause Ging cared more about work than Gon, and he left home at the age of 14. --Killua got abused by his parents so he could become 'stronger' and he went through many problems in his home life, he then took his sister Alluka and left at the age of 14 and Alluka 11 (Nanika is part of the story at some point) --Kurapika came home to his whole family slaughtered and left home cause he didn't have anyone or anywhere and left at the age 15 --Leorio grew up poor with his family, he left like a burden and decided to run away so his family didn't have to worry about him and ran away at 16 (not so important) --Retz left her brother to do her own thing (no trauma, I don't know her story, and i don't want to make one up) she left at the age of 13. --anita left home after her father died from an assassin. she left at 15 (she's from the 1999 hxh) --zushi was from another country, and then his father sent him away because he didn't care. he got kicked out at 11 --canary just left, no backstory, she doesn't share it. age 12 The all meet Bisky at some point who runs the circus, and he makes them all costumes (I can't find photos 😭) and they all get there rolls and preform for many people, and they all become really close. read the story to find out more (7/15/25) -#2 in hxhau (11/13/25)
