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.

KimonoSeries #1: Obsessed [MxM]
One night stands should only remain one night stands... When Blane finally decided to find a good lay for the night, he was approached by the mysterious Ashley Debres; a man with an especially dangerous air about him. Every instinct still screamed at Blane to grab him and take him home. The only problem was that just by looking at him, Blane knew the man was obscenely younger than he was. But Ashley didn't seem like the person who usually took no for an answer, and when attraction quickly turned into obsession, only destruction awaited at the end of that tunnel.Complete
FREAK SHOW
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.

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
A Jester's Guide: To Not Dying on Opening Night (Vol. 1)
Anemone Hollister was never meant to be a jester. She was a quiet, ordinary girl-until a forced marriage turned her life into a cage, and a brick to the face turned her death into a joke. Now she wakes up in another world, face covered and heart still aching, inside the twisted tents of the Cirque du Crevé-Cœur-a blood-soaked carnival of eternal performance where survival is the final act. To leave, she must survive three full years without dying. If she fails, she resets to the beginning of the year. If she fails in the final year... she stays forever. Her partner in suffering? Noive-a stitched-together body formed from two enemies who died the same day as her. They have no neck, a floating head, and just one rule: don't fall apart. The first year is the hardest. The circus feeds on fear. The Ringmaster watches everything. And the audience? They're hungry.![Freak Show | Multiship [C]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/63066146-256-k425813.jpg)

Elias | ✔️
✔️ | After swearing off relationships, I never thought I'd fall for my one night stand. A complete stranger. Months of searching and unsuccessfully finding this man, I've begun to lose all hope. Little did I know, I would be meeting the gorgeous green eyed man again. But will it be everything I've been expecting it to be? Or will the darkness from the past be too much to handle? I remember his exact words of that night 6 months ago... "I don't usually do this but... Do y-you want to get out of here?" He whispered seductively in my ear. That night... Well, it was the best night of my life. Highest Rankings: Thanks for the support, I feel awesome even having these in the top 1000!

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

Legacy of lightning Halloween madness
It's been six quiet months-no demons, no gods, no monsters. Peace finally had a home... until the circus came to town. At first, it looked normal-balloons, music, laughter-but then kids started disappearing. One by one. And every trail, every whisper, every scream led to the same place: the circus tent. Now it's up to me-Rikari, the grandson of the lightning god-and my uncles Byd and Fid in their young, godly forms to uncover the truth behind the blood-red curtain. Grandpa Riku always said it best: "Clowns are worse than spiders." This Halloween, the laughter is fake, the smiles are painted, and the funhouse mirrors hide something far darker. For the world. For the missing kids. And for the sheer stupidity that is Halloween itself- we're the heroes that save it all.Complete
