The Girl Who Dances With The Snakes by okelzeynep

In 1997, two young journalists, Rachel and Max, fresh out of university, are searching for a compelling story to submit to a documentary film competition. Their search takes a turn when they stumble upon an old newspaper article from 1952 about a mysterious and unexplained death- one that has long been forgotten. Decades ago, Norman's Circus of Wonders was on its way to becoming Los Angeles' greatest circus, but everything came to a tragic end when its star performer died under strange circumstances. The circus burned to the ground, and its name faded into history. Now, forty-five years later, Rachel and Max are determined to uncover the truth behind the long-buried mystery. • As the story shifts between two different time periods, a hidden truth slowly comes to light- a truth that reveals not just a mystery but a bloodstained stage disguised as entertainment. The spotlights may shine brightly, but can the truth survive the darkness lurking behind the curtain? Rachel and Max, caught between youth and experience, stand at a crossroads. Too young to fully understand what they want, yet too old to remain uncertain, they find themselves stepping into the past- into the story of a girl who once danced with snakes. If you're ready, the show is about to begin. . . . . © 2025 | ZeynepOkel

BROKEN WINGS (m. yanderes x reader) by MarieJNora

(Y/n) couldn't be happier. Ever since she could remember her biggest dream had been to become a Prima Ballerina, and now entering Bellemont Ballet Academy she's closer to her goal than ever before. And farther away from home than she's ever been, not that this bothers her though, if anything this only makes Bellemont Academy that much more appealing. And everything could have been perfect if her past had been okay with letting her go and if her future didn't hide monsters of another kind. Unfortunately (Y/n) couldn't be so lucky and should have known that Fate wasn't quite done with her. WARNINGS: this story will contain violence, gore, blood, murders and sexual content. Please proceed with caution if any of these trigger you. ( Inspired by my own mind and: Bloody Hands by AnaDWinter, Dancing through the fire by LTMay)
