"Welcome, we thank you for spending your night with us. We promise you, that this will be a party you will never forget!"

Forget your troubles, prepare your payment, and welcome to The White Top Circus! 
~*~
Twenty years after the East continents declared nuclear war to the West, the world regressed to their old patterns. Survival was key. People grew hungry. People grew desperate. 

 Yet in this life of darkness, despair and hunger - for a small fee The White Top can take it all away!
A show with the greatest wonders of man, a show with the greatest beauty of woman, and the only show with the infamous "Nightingale".

"Nightingale" has been the most loved featured show of The White Top. Word of her voice echoed through the corners of the earth, her face brought peace of mind to many, and her affect so powerful some describe it as magical. 

Yet, behind the curtains a different story emerges. 

So what becomes of the "Nightingale" when the show reaches it's finale? What becomes of the man who seeks to keep her? And what becomes of the man who yearns to free her?

-the circus ain't a love story-

PiYB Rough Draft by LucyASterling

There's something about Nightingale NJ that has people talking. What should be a beautiful city full of thriving multicultural businesses and festivals, plant-life and waterfalls, and vibrant nightclubs is instead a land of horror. While every continent has threats to public safety and haunting mysteries, it says a lot when Nightingale is high on the Top 10 list of cities in America with the highest body count: mobsters with cult connections, mysterious deaths almost animalistic in their violence, and missing persons seemingly lacking a pattern. We welcome you to this perfect hotspot for off-the-wall tabloids and exploitative podcasts. You live here because you have to and not because you want to. *** What was the point in living if you couldn't fight for a better tomorrow? What results would be waiting for you if you allowed a situation to rot and be left for the scavengers to devour? Justice. Punishment. Peace. Violence. There were so many ways to go about reaching your goals. Which mattered the most depended on which was the most effective method. Dionne Williams was a reporter. Unbiased and honest. Reporters were meant to have their voices heard, to explain the naked truth to their audience. Because to create a better world, you need to have an informed world, and Dionne was one of those loud voices willing to break open the seedy underbelly concealed from the public eye starting with her current residence, Nightingale NJ. Fayth Esposito-Jhavari was a demon in human clothing. Well, more like a somewhat unwilling vessel for a creature of a demonic nature, but her way of earning money didn't make her the most morally sound person anyway. Can't exactly write contracted killer on a resume and expect enthusiastic handshakes and back pats. Any crumb of normalcy becomes obsolete when a stubborn aspiring reporter and a vengeful hitwoman cross paths. (Rough/First Draft) (Cover created in Canva)

Once merged; Salvation is attainable. ~ This story is about the predestined power of love between two celestial women.

The Flames of the Wild Fyre [Complete✔] by PiscesPleasure

[My nubile body ripened with lustful desire for every inch of this Seraph of a being. Finalizing our orally initiated bliss he steps back as his nimble fingers gracefully prance across the fleshy meadows of my thighs. My orbs soaking up the beautiful illustration of Maverick before me. My blood rushing through my body like Grand Rapids, drowning out any argument to stop, slow, or refrain from fully engaging his scrumptious body with mine. His black sweat pants gracefully serving my greedy eyes every inch of his swaying appendage, like a waiter serving the finest hors d'oeuvres. I willingly accept, being the only guest in attendance. "I missed you mama." Lust and desire threaded through his words like a needle and thread through the finest of silks.] Fuck a get even in New York we one up a bitch.

Seventy days by honeycookies13

I want to kiss her so bad. Her face is right there, infront of me and those eyes fuck me. I grabbed her chin pulling her head up. She's looking at me. I lean down placing my hand on her waist and pulling her in. We're pressed against each other now and she smells so fucking good my heart can barely take it. "I've wanted to do this for a long time". I whispered above her whisper inching her closer and a whimper escaped her lips. "May I". I asked and she nods her head before I slam my lips right over hers. Taking in her scent. Her lips are so soft. The soft moans she's letting. Fuck. She makes insane. [Grumpy x sunshine] ♡♡♡♡ "I'd risk my soul for her" ♡♡♡♡ Seventy days -started: Friday 8 July -finished: Saturday 29th july ♡♡♡♡♡♡ Enjoy..... <3

The Lost Life of Laraine by BearGoRawr

She lead a rather tragic life. The black sheep of her family due to her lack of affinity for fire. Her affinity was quite the opposite. Water in fact. Already in a time when women did not really have much political power or rights, she was outcasted by her family despite being of nobility. Still allowed to live in the distant west wing of the massive Grand Duke's manor, she has never eaten a single meal with her family nor extended family, and has spent her loneliness in her books and sword lessons. Although only taught by the head butler and one of the low ranked knights of the family, she was quite bright and if her family would have given her a chance she would have done great things. If only she didn't die at such a young age. Married off to some "hero" of sort that had slayed the Dragon of the North who was terrorizing the land and threatened the kingdom, this hero also had an affinity for fire and held her in disdain like the rest of her family. Suddenly a girl of another world was transported to their world, picked up by this hero and put into his secure care. The pair soon fell for each other despite the hero's marriage, and many believed Laraine got jealous of this girl of mystery, and tried to kill her. This was definitely not true. But because the girl was favored by the temple and kingdom Laraine was quickly arrested and put on trial. You can probably tell what happened to Laraine. But something strange happened the day of her execution. As soon as her decapitated head hit the ground the sky turned blood red and it began to rain fire. No one survived that day. But for some reason time went back, and Laraine was back to being a child, but with no memory of her future. There were select few in her life, however, that remembered her tragedy and now perhaps will take action to prevent it. NOTE: I'M AWARE THERE ARE A LOT OF INCONSISTENCIES. IT WILL BE EDITED SOME DAY BUT RIGHT NOW I'M JUST TRYING TO FINISH IT.

Burn Into Me (Into Me Series Book Two) by Panemobsession

It's moments like these that make me feel like my soul is entangled with his. It feels like all of the broken pieces of me turned out to be the missing pieces in his puzzle and not at all the worthless trash that I thought they were previously. Every jagged edge dripping with blood that killed the child in me has a home against one of his, which have slowly healed into each other. Huh. Maybe that's just it. Maybe our pasts were meant to be so painful and broken so that when we met, we'd fit each other so perfectly, so snuggly, so completely that nothing would ever be able to break us again. Maybe all of the pain and suffering and loneliness truly did have a purpose after all. Maybe all of it was so that I could become the kind of person that I needed when I was a kid. - - - She is the most selfless, giving, caring, compassionate, intelligent, fearless, ambitious, loyal, kind, stubborn, patient, hardworking, did I mention stubborn-as-hell, woman I have ever met. She treats the world with such kindness even though it has beaten her till she was bloody and bruised more times than you can count. No one in this world deserves happiness and peace more than she does. I just want to grab her demons by the fucking throat and hurt them as bad as they hurt her. I want to hurt Bohr and her dad and Caroline and every person that ever made her feel small or insignificant or made her hate herself. I just want to help her feel happy. She's drowning in front of me and I'm just trying to pull her out of the water.

The eyes that carry immortality by RayStan4_Life

A girl was living an average and normal life with her mom, dad, and sister. Everything was fine, and everything was going great for this family, until one event cause the whole family to shatter in pieces. A 4 year old girl being the one who took most of the damage. As she grew older, she began to falter more and more, until she reached what you would call rock bottom. Her life was just the beginning of what you would call pure chaos, until it all was set ablaze. A never ending fire that could never be extinguished, no matter how hard you tried to set it out. --------------------- There was no story inspiration for this, I purely made this out of my imagination and ideas I got from listening to music. 😓 --------------------- The cover was made by me and I didn't take inspiration from anyone because I'm too stupid to think about this idea during this time 😰 And I'm making a new cover cuz the current one is ugly 🐸 This is a story based on MY OC's and MY fake Scenarios, if you have a problem with any of these, please be welcomed to leave 😁 (no, really. This shit is very confusing and complex. Unless you can handle that) Warning: Mentions of: Death/Murder Swearing Suicide Self-harm Blood Gore Cannibalism Abuse Etc... (Ima add more to the list soon😰)

FREAK SHOW by MrPuff

What happens when one of the last freakshows comes to your town? Not only is it a grotesque event viewed for pleasure at a circus but one that harbors secrets and hidden evils behind the curtains. Scarlett didn't know what to think when she heard about the circus coming to her town; her town was small, rarely anything visited it. She never expected to be ripped from her life and forced into their society of freaks, struggling to keep their business. She wasn't and would never be a freak, especially ones that didn't know right morals from wrong ones. ___________________________________ THIS STORY CONTAINS GRAPHIC MATERIAL AND POTENTIALLY TRIGGERING CONTENT: READ AT YOUR OWN RISK (18+) I WROTE THIS WHEN I WAS 14.
