The freak circus AU
(Neko Bueno on Patreon is the creator of The Freak Circus VN)
She never hated monsters.
She hated what they had become.
Starved. Trapped. Forsaken by the very man who called himself their savior. When survival demanded a price, they paid it by consuming one of their own-Columbina-and the strength they gained came at a cost far darker than anyone could have imagined.
For years living among them, Elia questioned their cruelty, their distrust of humans... until she was forced to witness every memory, every century of suffering that shaped them.
And something inside her shattered.
She understood why they no longer trusted humanity.
She understood why she herself was not trusted.
Her own kind revolted her.
In her final moments, an unknown being offered her a deal she could not refuse... at a price.
Now cast into the past, with only a single year to exist, Elia must decide:
Can the past be rewritten?
If she can save Columbina...
Could she save them all?
Even if it means she ceases to exist?...
Even if she must become the very thing she despises... to ensure their survival?

Tent Vacancy ♤ The Freak Circus x fem!reader ♤
(DISCONTINUED) The circuses black tent remained vacant, there was no reason for the circus workers to continue setting it up whenever they traveled. It's not like the person who owned the tent would return, she had run away long ago. _________________________ Y/N lacked memories of her past, there was no record of her ever existing. She only 'came into existence' three years ago. She knew her name, but that was it. All she had of her past was a golden bell-a circular thing she couldn't get rid of, it hung from her ear piercing hole. Just the one. She never had many questions about her past, but when a circus rolls into town she begins to question herself.Complete

My Daughter...
Nutsa Temuri Kapanadaze, a young monster who had to do her best to survive in a human society. Most of the humans were nothing but cruel to her, calling her a freak, one even stabbed her with a piece of glass. She had to stitch herself up after that on her own. Couldn't risk her identity to go to a doctor. She didn't know where she came from, only 5 strange dreams of strange figures. But what happens when those figures are real and find her? !!!I DO NOT OWN THE FREAK CIRCUS!!! THIS IS JUST A FANFIC!!! !!!DO NOT! AND I MEAN DO NOT! FEED ANY OF MY WORK TO AI!!! (The name Nutsa Temuri Kapanadaze is a name from my country, Georgian. If you do not like the name, feel free to change her name in your heads, but please do not steal my work.

The Freak Circus: In Ink and Silence (Discontinued, Read Description)
This story has been renewed; the new title is "The Freak Circus: When the Stage Becomes Reality" The freak circus x female reader (OC) Some people speak to survive. Others stay silent and bleed through ink. She lives quietly, trapped inside her own thoughts, learning to exist without taking up too much space. Words are easier on paper. Feelings are safer as sketches. Nightmares become stories, and stories become the only place where she feels in control. Then the circus arrives. Not a place of laughter, but of watching eyes and smiling performers who feel too real to be human. A horror show that doesn't pretend to be harmless. When she defends one of them, something changes. She is seen. What follows is not love nor salvation, but attention. Protection that feels comforting. Presence that feels necessary. And slowly, her silence begins to feel less lonely... even as the world around her grows darker. Because the circus doesn't save people. It survives. And sometimes, survival asks for silence. This is a fan work inspired by the visual novel The Freak Circus, created by Neko Bueno. It's my take on how my main character would react if she were actually in the game.
The Freak Circus x Reader
You were loved. The Beloved Little Princess, the servants coo as the little girl passes through the halls with her brothers, always attentive and protective. Your father, albeit busy behind his desk, always made time for you. However that all changed when your new mother was introduced, a step-sister following. She reminded you of a doll. She was bright and cheerful at first but since your brothers didn't accept her, and your father barely paid attention to her, she started to act differently. Your new mother wanted to make her daughter the princess of the L/n family, and she will do anything, anything at all to make it happen. The first step was getting you out of the picture. Little by little, with staged accidents which her daughter gladly played the part, their love, trust, and respect for you disappeared. The pair always played the victim, accusing you of not wanting them to be apart of the family. Years flew by with this torment, no matter how much your pleaded, begged them to realize that you would never do any of that. They never listened, and the breaking point came when you finally realized that nothing will ever change. It will always be her, not you. So, the first chance you got you left that house. Best decision you could ever make. The small cramped apartment might be a drastic change from your lavish bedroom, but you were away from them. You wanted to turn a new leaf in this small city and have a normal loving life. Who knew that you'd be living a life far from normal as a horror circus rolls into town and you catch their attention when you saved their quiet Pierrot. The love you so craved from family, he will give it to you, destroy anything that dares to snuff it out, and give you all that is his. Though, he might not be the only one...

The Freaks
Inspired by the game "The Freak Circus" A horror game with a Harlequin, a Jester, a Ticket Taker, a Doctor, and a yandere Pierrot plus a **Simple normal** girl who got isekaid inside the horror game. .... Pierrot waited outside her window until she was fast asleep. He slowly approached her bed staring at her with a blush on his face and heart shaped eyes. "Oh my lady.. you're even more beautiful in your sleep.. I love you from the moment I saw you. I'm afraid I'll scare you if you'd knew my love for you, my obsession, the things.. I wanna do to you" He stares at her sleeping face with a hungry look. While the sleeping (?) girl thought to herself with eyes close. "You'd be surprised if you'd knew it's mutual" she thought to herself and almost making a smirk forgetting that she was supposed to be sleepingComplete

Your routine is simple: wake up (reluctantly), get ready, have breakfast, go to work, finish your shift, and go home. Easy, right? It would be easier if your roommate, Anthony, helped with chores, but you love him anyway! Your life was normal, and you preferred it that way. That is, until you rescued a clown from being publicly beaten. Pretty sweet of you, right? But this small act will cost you something much bigger... Just a heads up that I don't know much about the TFC story, so this will be imperfect !! If I get anything wrong, please let me know. Criticism is also appreciated !!![𝙄'𝙢 𝙂𝙤𝙣𝙣𝙖 𝙊𝙪𝙩𝙛𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙠 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙁𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙨!

The Freak Circus x Fem!Reader "They're freaks!" "Everything changed when they arrived!" "Go back to wherever hellhole you freaks came from!!" Humans, say that they were the higher beings. They believe so and they live with that belief. One would be superior to the other. A silent competition amongst them. Yet, they didn't even know of the monsters who lurked amongst their very shadows. Here they come, The Freak Circus of Horrors. A cluster of clowns and jesters who came from nowhere. A travelling circus has sent foot to your town, receiving doubtful and judging glares from the locals. Who wouldn't be freaked out? A series of clowns showed up for their circus performances at night. What differs them from the usual circuses? They mainly create scares. Horror were their theme of performance. Their undeniably eerie behavior had creeped out most of the locals. Even their appearances were freaking them out. The sharp grins. Tiny slits for eyes that glowed menacingly every performance. Not to you, though. They were somewhat... erm... attractive, in their own way. A freak you were in your own way. You weren't very special, just seen as a weird individual as a kid before everything even settled on your pretty little head. Already labeled as the weirdo by the kids your age. You didn't care. Not anymore. Maybe that's what attracted them to you. It's how different you were to the usual human personality that they were so used to. Especially him. Oh, to him, you were an angel, something special who sees him as something more than who he is... and he needs you. To keep believing. He needs your eyes on him. Your skin, hands, everything about you. He needs all of you, all to himself. He wouldn't let the others get you. You were his. I do not own any of the characters of The Freak Circus.

The Freak Circus (Reverse Isekai Story)
⚠️WARNING⚠️: The game this is from is 18+, therefore, this story is 18+ as well! As the title says, this is a reverse Isekai. An Isekai is where the protagonist is transported to another world. This is reversed, so the characters will be transported to the protagonist's world instead! Cover Art is by the creator of the game, Neko Bueno. I may replace the cover art later with my own if I feel like doing so.

For Y/N, life is measured in double-shot espressos and the quiet, protective comfort of her boss's gaze. Y/N's world is small, safe, and caffeine-stained-until the night the Freak Circus rolls into the outskirts of town under a blood-red moon. They aren't just performers. Behind the porcelain masks of Pierrot, the jagged grin of Harlequin, the manic energy of Jester, the clinical coldness of the Doctor, and the commanding shadow of the Ticket Taker lies a hunger that has rotted for centuries. When they step into her coffee shop, Y/N feels a terrifying sense of deja vu. Y/N doesn't know them, yet Y/N remembers the weight of their touch. Y/N doesn't know their names, yet their soul aches with a tragedy that hasn't happened yet-or perhaps, it already has. A debt was written in blood in an ancient wood. A promise was made as the monsters burned. And now, they have come to collect what is theirs.
