Ophelia Black never wanted to run away with the circus, but it's the only option she has left.
Accused of being the witch who burned down the mayor's house in a world that fears and despises magic, Ophelia finds herself at the mercy of her once-neighbors in her small town. In her desperation, she finds herself running to the tents of Cirque des Tempêtes, a travelling circus just stopping by.
To her relief and surprise, she is immediately swept up and welcomed into the circus' ranks, but she is quick to realise that nothing is as it seems. The fire-breather is a real dragon, the acrobats fae and the strongman a were-something (Ophelia is too scared to ask what exactly). All of them under the watchful eye of the ringmaster, a flamboyant man who calls himself The Great Witch Oleander, who also promises to clear her name.
Taught from a young age to fear magic and all its users, Ophelia is confused, stuck between a rock and a hard place. Should she stay and force herself to perform in their strange shows for the possibility of being vindicated, or should she escape and go on the run alone? Also, why does this Oleander seem so fixated on her?

Joker's Ace
Have you ever thought about running away to join the circus? After a stay in the mental institution, Haruka Shiina can no longer see her "imaginary friend". Naturally, she thought she must have been crazy. But after witnessing a circus performance starring a boy that's all too familiar, she finds herself caught up in this new life: living with a circus and finally meeting the reason for all her strife. The circus itself isn't without its problems, either. An acrobat who's lost her memory, and her partner who's caught up in hers. A ringmaster, a knife thrower, and more than one messy love story. Is running away with the circus all it's cracked up to be?
☽✧ Lost In Prythian ✧☾ {Rhysand x OC}
Estelle Beaumont just wanted a peaceful hike on her last day of vacation. Instead, one ill-starred moment of curiosity leaves her miraculously stranded in the fictional world of Prythian: a faerie realm full of ruthless court intrigue, rampant misogyny, and enough deadly magic to keep anyone up at night. Armed with foreknowledge that's only helpful when it isn't actively trying to get her killed, Estelle quickly discovers that living through the story of ACOTAR is far less fun and far more perilous when it's her own basic-ass, untrained mortal life on the line. The plan is simple: keep her hands off of the plot and survive long enough to find a way back to the family and love she left behind. But the so-called "Mother" clearly has other ideas in store for Estelle, forcing her to confront an unsettling truth-her role here in Prythian may be far greater than that of a passive observer. As Estelle reluctantly abandons her original plan, uneasy alliances form, old wounds reopen, and fractured trust begins to mend. Love, loss, and the scars of the past converge as she slowly comes to realize that the family she thought she'd lost may yet take on a new shape-and that the life she left behind might be exactly what prepares her for the fight ahead. But the cost of shaping Prythian's future-and her own-may prove to be more than she can bear. After all, it's a future that was never meant to be hers in the first place. And this is all that damned Cauldron's fault... ☆⊱──────⊰ ☽✧☾ ⊱──────⊰☆ A/N: Warning: This fanfic is purely self-indulgent, with long-winded introspection and a major slowburn romance. Read at your own risk lol. Also if you don't like self-insert/iseki like tropes were an OC who read the books ends up in the fictional world as the new main character, you might want to skip this. Some things will stay very familiar, others will diverge completely, and I plan to add extra world building along the way. **Trigger W

Queen of Bargains: Monsters Under the Mountain
Selene was never meant to be part of this world. She had once been a medical student, living an ordinary life filled with textbooks, late-night study sessions, and the quiet certainty that magic was nothing more than fiction. Then, she woke up in a world ruled by monsters. For twenty-five years, she has survived on the outskirts of a human village, healing where she can, hiding where she must. She knows little of the High Fae, their courts, or their treacherous games. She knows only whispers-of a wicked queen named Amarantha, of a war that shattered kingdoms, of a High Lord with violet eyes and a smirk sharper than a blade. But when a raid on her village drags her Under the Mountain, Selene is thrust into a world of cruelty and deceit. Powerless and human, she should have been nothing more than another disposable servant. Instead, she catches the eye of Rhysand, Amarantha's right hand. To the world, he is a monster. A traitor. A willing pet in the queen's twisted court. But Selene has seen him at his most powerful. And now, she has seen him at his most broken. Forced into servitude, trapped in a palace where humans do not last long, Selene must navigate the deadly politics of a court built on suffering. But as she uncovers the truth hidden beneath Rhysand's carefully crafted mask, she begins to question everything she thought she knew-about this world, about him, and about the war that looms on the horizon. Because it was not fate brought her here. She was the obstacle to his fate. And fate is watching. all rights reserved to the original authorKumpleto
Night's Claim
For five hundred years, she has been hidden away-moon-blessed, powerful, untouchable. But the call of fate is relentless, whispering through the enchanted forest where she has spent centuries waiting, yearning. Now, she is ready to return. Ready to be claimed. Rhysand, Cassian, and Azriel have spent years tormented by dreams of a female they have never met-a female who feels like a missing piece of their very souls. They are three fragments of the same being, bound by an ancient power that refuses to let them rest until they find her. When she finally steps into their world, the bond ignites. The hunger is unbearable. The restraint is slipping. And the hunt has only just begun. A story of fate, power, and a desire so primal it threatens to consume them all. ( This story is solely based on the meeting and claiming of the mate. There won't be any major plot .) ( Oc and the storyline belongs to me . The inspiration of this fanfiction is taken from the ACOTAR series by Sarah.J.Mass The book cover is taken from Pintrest ) ( There will be no Amarantha , Feyre and her sisters in this story. Mor doesn't have the same relationship with Azriel and Cassian as she had in Acotar. Here Rhys, Azriel and Cassian are same person i.e Rhysand was so powerful that he has to divide his essence into three parts giving rise to Azriel and Cassian)Kumpleto
Eternal: Azriel
Eternal: (adj.) Lasting or existing forever; without end or beginning Athanasia never complained about her situation. She never felt like she had the right to. A random event leads her to befriend a small boy. A boy that she believed she would never see again. His situation was heartbreaking, she knew that there are others that are more unfortunate just like him. However, this one encounter changes everything she expected of herself, gave her freedom when the world only wants to swallow her up. --- "Why are you doing this? Why are you befriending me? Though we met five hundred years ago, why do you still bring me into your life? So much can happen in that many years but instead of staying with your friends or finding other things to do, you're with me. Why?" I ask again. Though I don't like being so forward, I can't help it. I'm scared to hurt him. He shifts his gaze to me. His hazel eyes gleam into my blue ones as if he knows something that I don't. "You're right. I had five hundred years, five hundred years to stay with my friends and five hundred years to find other hobbies." He pauses, taking in breath. "But I had five hundred years without you, we only had two weeks together. And those two weeks were the best I've ever had. That's why I want to continue them-with you, Athy." --- Disclaimer: All ACOTAR characters and plot belong to Sarah J. Maas. My characters and scenes are my own work.Kumpleto
