They say the circus vanished decades ago.
But some nights, when the wind shifts and the trees hold their breath, the tent returns - quiet, breathing, watching.
Ashley Kimoro thought it was abandoned.
Mollie Rivera followed her into the silence.
But the circus doesn't care what you believe.
It doesn't need permission.
It only asks one thing:
Perform.
Don't clap. Don't run.
And whatever you do...
don't look behind the curtain.

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

All Things Holy ✔️
❝I know you love God or whatever, but I want to do the most unholy things to you.❞ Small towns harbor two types of people: those that live and die within the confines of it, and those that get the hell out while they can. Hudson is one of the lucky few with the means to pack his bags and run as fast as he can once he graduates high school. Although he can't quite cut ties with his family and leave his past in the past, he can take advantage of a fresh start in the city that never sleeps: New York City. College is a chance for Hudson to find out who he really is--and who he wants to be. He's a good boy with a religious knack and a girlfriend back home who doesn't mind that he's saving himself for marriage. His deepest secret that he likes men is neither new nor surprising, more so downright despicable. Damnable, even. When he meets Zane, an eccentric friend of his roommate, his entire earth is turned on its axis and the life he thought he wanted vanishes. Zane opens his eyes to a world of freedom full of lust and sin. And for the love of all things holy, he likes it.Complete

The Killer Clown Circus
The Killer Clown Circus is no ordinary carnival; it is a twisted nightmare masquerading as a place of wonder. The air smells faintly of burnt sugar and decay, and the colors of the striped tents seem unnaturally vibrant, almost pulsing as if alive. The attractions are eerie distortions of normal carnival rides, each seemingly designed to unnerve or endanger anyone foolish enough to try them. The performers are grotesque clowns with painted-on smiles that never fade, their eyes cold and calculating. Their movements are unsettlingly precise, their laughter hollow and mocking. Every corner of the circus feels imbued with malice, as if it's watching, waiting for its next victim. At the center stands the Big Top, the heart of the madness, ruled by the enigmatic and malevolent Ringmaster. His booming voice and theatrical gestures hide a mind bent on manipulation and chaos. The circus itself seems alive, its layout shifting to trap those who enter, with no clear exit in sight. For anyone who dares to enter, the Killer Clown Circus offers only one promise: you'll never leave the same-if you leave at all.Complete
