Because I Love You✔️ by Aaron__Ledgers
185 parts Complete
They say love conquers all. His shattered the fabric of reality and began a world-altering change that would eventually shift the concept of life and death forever. 🌺💛👑💛🌺 Phil wasn't exactly the best at being the boy-next-door. Shy, clumsy, and highly insecure with his life as a whole - he was the complete opposite of his girlfriend, a bubbly nerd named Ella. But like Yin and Yang, the two of them were inseparable... at least, until the night of Ella's sixteenth birthday, when she died in his arms after an unexpected shooting. Traumatized and blinded by grief, Phil took his own life only three months later on his seventeenth birthday, but instead of finding his much-expected peace in the afterlife, he somehow ended up on a parallel world called Atlas as an almost monstrous-looking version of himself. Trapped in the kingdom of Aerika, a bizarre place chock full of things like magic, elves, orcs, demons, faeries, squirrel-riding women, assassins, a tyrannical hierarchy, and everything else under the sun, he finds himself very confused and depressed. But before he can begin to make sense of anything, he's captured and caged like an animal by a ruthless girl who looks and sounds exactly like his late girlfriend. Is this his own, personal hell? Or is it a second chance? And if it is a second chance... does he even want to take it? (Highest Ranking - #8 in Fantasy!!!!! ❤) (TRAILER INSIDE) Copyright © by Aaron Ledgers. All rights reserved.

This story is about a creepy and evil circus and the circus director is Blake. It's a storyteller who tells the story that might be true. But it's more a legend. The strongman wants to stop the circus for the words on good. This is mysterious and what you believe you believe. (I made this story and the character but I don't own them and make no profit so make fanfiction if you want. Would be cool. But credit me took me a so long time to make it)

Who would ever mourn someone like you? -- Priscilla Ridley has never known peace of mind. That is until a carousel appears outside of her home, there to whisk her away to Solaris, a circus rich in magic and dedicated to providing a safe haven to the lost or helpless. Priscilla finds herself quickly falling in love with her surroundings, captivated by the grandiose oddities Solaris has to provide. After years of nothing but heartache and trouble, Solaris is like a dream come true. Only, one should always be careful what they wish for. Solaris has a history steeped in secret and tragedy. It is far from the place it used to be, and even farther from the experience Priscilla was promised. Now trapped and with very few options, Priscilla must navigate the inner workings of the circus in order to win not only her freedom but the freedoms of everyone else around her. With no true way of knowing where true intentions lie, and no telling where truth ends and fiction begins, each decision is a gamble. One that very well may end in Priscilla becoming nothing but another name on the evergoing list of desecrated souls.
