Circus Stories

WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION How do you trust the ground when all you've known is flight? In this breathtaking debut, Leigh Ansell has created a compelling, heartbreaking, and truly engaging story about a young girl used to flying high only to be faced with living life with her two feet firmly on the ground . . . Seventeen-year-old Corey Ryder can't remember a time when she wasn't gliding through the air of Cirque Mystique's big top. As a trapeze artist in a traveling circus, Corey wakes up every day in a different place, buzzing for the moment she can suspend gravity during the night's performance. When the circus pulls into small-town Sherwood, California, everything seems normal - aside from meeting the exceptionally cute Luke Everett at a local diner. But that night, in the midst of the performance, tragedy strikes and flames overtake the tent. While Corey narrowly escapes, in the ashes of the circus pitch lies the only home she's ever known. Repeatedly thrown out of her comfort zone, Corey must learn how to push toward her future without forgetting her past, what it means to be a daughter to a mother she's never known, and how to navigate the confusing magic of first love, even as she performs the high-wire act of being true to who you really are.

this book is about my yumeship between ragatha from tadc and my OC Bizbob. now before anyone says anything. bizbob is not me. Bizbob is not my persona or self insert. yumeshipping can be OC x Canon. that is what this fic is. yumeshipping is when someone ships either a persona self insert or OC with a Canon character from a franchise/fandom. this story is self-indulgent and will have slow updates. I write anytime I can but my life is pretty busy at the moment since I'm doing a summer job. previously I made another book titled button bolts which is their ship name. I started writing without the context of episode 8 and 9 as those episodes had not come out yet. because I didn't have the context, the book missed out on a ton of lore and a ton of things didn't make sense. now that the show is complete I can make this story properly and hopefully not have any plot holes. I would really appreciate if you took the time to vote for each chapter and comment. it makes me really happy. like I said this story has slow updates so if you do somehow in some random universe get attached to my ship and want more please please be patient with me. without further Ado please head over to the character page and then chapter 1

My life was separated into three places. School. Training. Home. I used to think keeping those parts separate made things easier. But somehow, every place became connected to someone I couldn't ignore. At training, there was the person I once loved, acting like we were strangers now. At school, there was a guy I met by accident who kept showing up at the weirdest moments. And at home, there was the childhood friend I thought I had already left in the past. Somehow, without noticing it, my peaceful life started getting complicated again.

It may seem like a normal circus; full of color and life, only active at night - but what if the night lasted forever? What if you can't escape? What if you become the newest member?

𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐄𝐘𝐄𝐒 𝐎𝐍 𝐌𝐄. ❝ PERFORM OR DIE. ❞ ━━━ Dominique Lemaitre made a deal for fame, only to find herself the vessel for Jester Mad, an imprisoned Fate who feeds on her performances and threatens to seize her body if she ever stops, wanting to use it to free himself from the card. Her only escape lies within Caraval, a legendary game where the prize is a wish. But this year's game is different: its master, Legend, is grieving a broken heart, turning his magical wonders into lethal nightmares. As Dominique navigates the treacherous trials, she finds two unlikely allies: Legend himself, who breaks his own rules to guide her, and Pierre, a blood-drinking former puppet of the Jester who wants to keep his creator imprisoned at any cost.
