Jester's Wake
When a traveling circus joins a carnival for one night, things go awry. Beneath the striped canvas and flickering torches, jester Lani steps into a performance that isn't on any program - a ring of cracked-smile clowns, skeletal beasts and whispered commands from an unseen ringmaster. The deeper she's drawn into the show, the more the boundaries between act and reality dissolve, until even her fellow performers seem like strangers wearing masks. Trapped under the big top, Lani must find a way to keep her wits and her freedom before the final curtain falls.Complete
Carnival of bones
Y/N was only eight when she disappeared into the mist with nothing but fear in her chest and fire in her blood. The world forgot her. Her family gave up. But the circus found her-and it never let her go. Now, she's a masked acrobat in a haunted traveling carnival that rolls into town without warning and vanishes without a trace. Under the lights of the big top, she flies like a ghost. Offstage, she hides headaches that are getting worse... and memories that don't feel like her own. This is a story about secrets-twisted ones. About found families, cursed places, and a girl who was never meant to survive... but did. You won't see the Umbrella Academy just yet. But they're coming. Especially him- Five Hargreeves. But for now, the spotlight is on Y/N. And the Carnival of Bones is ready to begin.Complete
The Wake
They say the void was born hungry. A hollow thing that devours light, laughter, and the warmth of living souls. When a fragment of that darkness fell upon a carnival, it found something it had never known before-color, music, joy. It reached out like a child touching flame... and the flame burned back. Now, The Wake returns every year, a traveling festival that blooms at twilight and dies with the dawn. By day, it dazzles with color and song. By night, it feeds. The workers smile because they must. The calliope plays because it cannot stop. And when the drums begin to thunder, the void itself opens its eyes. Those who stay past sunrise are never seen again-only heard, in the laughter that keeps the void dreaming. Step right up, traveler. The show is about to begin. And once you've entered The Wake, there's no leaving the tent before the dawn.

The Hollow Jester
A once-renowned circus performer, Zane the Clown, is cursed with an unsettling emptiness: his soul is gone, stolen by an ancient, malevolent force. Unaware of how or why it happened, Zane's existence has become a hollow echo of what it once was. His laughter rings false, his joy feigned, and his performances, though technically flawless, lack the heart and warmth that once defined his art. Now, as the circus falls into decline and his audience grows restless, Zane learns of an ancient legend - a way to reclaim his stolen soul. But the path to redemption is fraught with dangerous trials and mysterious figures, including a secretive ringmaster with dark ties to the supernatural, and a mischievous trickster who seems to know far more than he lets on. With every step toward rediscovering his soul, Zane is forced to confront the fractured parts of his forgotten self - his lost memories, buried regrets, and the question of whether he even wants to reclaim the man he once was. Along the way, he uncovers the truth about his curse: it wasn't just his soul that was taken, but also a piece of his humanity. To get it back, Zane will need to face the very thing he fears the most - the darkness inside himself. As the clock ticks toward his inevitable demise, Zane must ask: Can a soulless clown truly find redemption, or is he doomed to remain a hollow jester forever?Complete
