Harlequin Stories

The freak circus AU (Neko Bueno on Patreon is the creator of The Freak Circus VN) She never hated monsters. She hated what they had become. Starved. Trapped. Forsaken by the very man who called himself their savior. When survival demanded a price, they paid it by consuming one of their own-Columbina-and the strength they gained came at a cost far darker than anyone could have imagined. For years living among them, Elia questioned their cruelty, their distrust of humans... until she was forced to witness every memory, every century of suffering that shaped them. And something inside her shattered. She understood why they no longer trusted humanity. She understood why she herself was not trusted. Her own kind revolted her. In her final moments, an unknown being offered her a deal she could not refuse... at a price. Now cast into the past, with only a single year to exist, Elia must decide: Can the past be rewritten? If she can save Columbina... Could she save them all? Even if it means she ceases to exist?... Even if she must become the very thing she despises... to ensure their survival?

This is a slowburn Jester x Ticket Taker fan work in which it starts off with Ticket Taker reminiscing of past events that led him to where he is now. This fic mostly focuses on how their relationship progressed from their time in the forest, from their first meet, to present times (and to future revelations). Additionally, there will be a lot of non-canon elements to this work and the characters will likely not react like the canon ones would. All characters are from the visual novel "The Freak Circus" created by the fabulous Neko Bueno! Enjoy the fanfic!

For Y/N, life is measured in double-shot espressos and the quiet, protective comfort of her boss's gaze. Y/N's world is small, safe, and caffeine-stained-until the night the Freak Circus rolls into the outskirts of town under a blood-red moon. ​They aren't just performers. Behind the porcelain masks of Pierrot, the jagged grin of Harlequin, the manic energy of Jester, the clinical coldness of the Doctor, and the commanding shadow of the Ticket Taker lies a hunger that has rotted for centuries. ​When they step into her coffee shop, Y/N feels a terrifying sense of deja vu. Y/N doesn't know them, yet Y/N remembers the weight of their touch. Y/N doesn't know their names, yet their soul aches with a tragedy that hasn't happened yet-or perhaps, it already has. ​A debt was written in blood in an ancient wood. A promise was made as the monsters burned. And now, they have come to collect what is theirs.

No one takes her seriously. She prefers it that way. This is the story of Ms. Pink Sugar.

I don't own the The Freak Circus or The Light Fury. Or any images. Also I've never played the game only read the fanfics.

You were cast out of heaven when you were four years old because you're half human, half angel. Before you were banished, an angel cursed you so that you cannot speak. Now, you live on earth, where you work as a barista at a small cafe. Then, posters start appearing about a certain circus of horrors...

This is the story of the Freak Circus but staring my OC, Macabre (he/she/they/it). Join Macabre, a subspecies of human called a truesenser, as she works her way through her love for Peirrot, Harlequin's freakyness, her own powers and problems, and the troubles of the town's local monsters - through her group, the Creature Caretakers.

To many, they have become a living fable, a story still being written. To one another, they are simply husband and wife.

Codie Lynn is new to town and the job she snags is easy, she works at the cafe down the street from the circus that just moved to town, but gossip is the first thing she hears on the first day, not to mention she has her first encounter with one of the circus members, Pierrot, one with not so many words on the street but has many when it's just the two of them. Codie is quick to learn about his family, just like she's quick to pick the feelings the supposed to be quiet clown gains for her. But with what comes feelings, also comes suspicious and cautious eyes from a few members of the circus, the main one being Jester who doesn't trust Codie, no matter how Pierrot persists their feelings for each other are genuine, and once Codie realizes she's not trusted, she does everything in her power to work on gaining the trust that was once lost. Even if it means looking the other way when bodies come up missing especially, when one of those bodies becomes her very own.

i was thinking about this on the bus one day

A collection of short and silly oneshots with our beloved Pierrot !! WARNING: No lemon/smut, Reader is gender neutral ^^

Y/n decided that going off on her own would be easy. Right? Until she met five men in her new apartment who begin to absolutely fall in love with her. It's a AU where they are normal(ish) people. I have -female user- being the main character but you can put in whatever you want. It makes it easier for me to type that way Hope you enjoy~˚✧₊⁎❝᷀ົཽ≀ˍ̮ ❝᷀ົཽ⁎⁺˳✧༚

~These one shots are based on Neko Bueno's game "The Freak Circus" on Itch.io~ ~Most of these stories will have a gender neutral reader so that anyone can read it, unless someone makes a request with a specific gender~ ~I will take requests unless they make me uncomfortable (like smut)~

So it's gonna be different from the game and probably have a different story so it's a Au, reader is gonna be probably be based off of Lacey (Lacey's Flash Games) and honestly the monsters the jesters,harlequins and pierrots will have an unhealthy obsession towards a human girl. Will Reader make it out alive? Feel free to find out! So apparently in this fanfic reader is a ballerina which it will lead her into a circus performer, so what would the others would think if she is a circus or a ballerina performer? Let's see. Credits to the Cover art. (In the works maybe idk for sure)

ClownPierce and BranzyCraft suddenly entered a new dimension. At first, it seemed ordinary, actually, rather bland: No one fought bloody disputes, everyone was peaceful, there was a system of order. But then, something exciting came along. The Circus of Horrors. [ CLOWNZY / ONE-SIDED PIERROT & HARLEQUIN X BRANZY ]
