Summary
Era is set in the 1800’s during the American Civil war around the location of Maryland where enslavement was high. People grew tired of the government's unlawfulness, so riots broke out causing the government to change completely, except the government gave up their power after losing to their own people, quickly overturned and replaced. Slaves are not allowed freedom until they survive three years, usually most don’t make it. Later on countries combined into three in total, Maryland, Vorgile, and Sylveria. There are towns and groups during this apocalypse, camps and such that provide food, water, shelter, and even activities. There are daycares, small businesses and restaurants. Like all kinds of life, there is a stronger and weaker economy and population. The government was overthrown due to people growing tired of unlawful rule, bad people got their hands on the power and flipped the country as their power grew. Hiding and staying out of sight is your best friend. Some families live behind walls, underground bunkers, squat in torn down houses where people wouldn’t think to look, even the woods will danger seeking all around.

Summary
New York City 1889
Nakahara Chuuya ran away from his stifling adopted family five years ago to join a circus as a trapeze artist under the stage name Icarus. He's made quite a name for himself but more importantly he's found freedom in the air, which is something he never had in the gilded cage where he lived before.
Dazai Osamu is just a kid from Harlem. The son of recent immigrants, he's had to work for every opportunity he's had. Though he dreams of Broadway he hasn't had his big break yet and mostly works one-off gigs at clubs and performs in small productions. He also performs in the circus as an acrobat in the hopes that even though it's a placeholder job the skills he's learned will be valuable for later auditions. Dazai truly believes that if he works hard enough he'll eventually attain his version of the American Dream that his parents were promised.
When Dazai and Chuuya meet by chance both of their worlds are changed forever. Could the American Dream be closer than they thought?

Summary
It was 1872, and London was a city of opulence and power, where the elite basked in their wealth. John's family, among the most influential in the country, were no exception. So there was no question as to why they recieved tickets to McCartney's circus as guests of honour — that much was obvious.
But dark rumours swirled around the circus — whispers John couldn't ignore.
Despite his own better judgement and internal warnings, his resolve had driven him to uncover the truth. Yet in a world where secrets were dangerous and privacy was valued above all else, his curiosity might just have led to consequences he never imagined.

Summary
‘As soon as the Emperor said the invocation, he knew it was a mistake. They’d made this bed years ago; why couldn’t they just continue to lie in it as they always had done? Eternity seemed like a small price to pay to ensure everything went ahead as they’d originally intended, to make sure nothing got worse as it aged, warped by the passage of time and degrading magic. He could have argued with his committee more, persuaded them to see reason and carry on as they always had done. They’d grumble, yes, perhaps be truly angry with him, but they’d never leave him here alone.
But the invocation would work only once.‘

It follows Frederick “Funtime” Fazbear, a newly hired clown and part-time acrobat, as he tries to survive rude customers, bizarre coworkers, and a strange little blue bunny that just won’t leave him alone.

Summary
There's a mysterious circus that travels around the region called Cirque Fantastique, or the Circus of Fantasies. It appears like magic in towns, stays a few days, then disappears just as suddenly as if it was never there. Strange, but traveling circuses are transitory like that so nobody gives it much thought. However, this particular circus is hiding a secret. In order to survive, Viktor Nikiforov, the Ringmaster, made a pact with a magical being to ensure that he and his friends wouldn't starve as they built their biggest dream into reality, a circus intended to enchant and inspire all who came to bear witness. The pact was successful, but unfortunately, such deals come with a catch. While the circus thrives as agreed, its residents are cursed to live a trapped existence, half in shadow and half in light.
But a bringer of change is coming, wrapped up in the most unassuming of people. A young man, drifting and unable to find his place in the world, finds himself thrust into the middle of events he doesn't understand. There is only one thing he knows with absolute certainty. For the enigmatic Viktor, Yuuri Katsuki discovers that there's nothing he wouldn't do. Even if it means storming the gates of Hell itself.
