    Summary

    Mizu returns to Japan. She has a plan and a wish, but nothing is going as she had imagined. Suddenly, control over her life is snatched away from her.

    In the haze, they were only shadows, but they were the first sign of land. They marked the end of almost seven months at sea. It took another half day before they finally reached Nagasaki Bay with Mizu on board.

    “Tell the doctor we have orders to deliver him alive!” interjected the man who was holding her. Dr. Voet gave her one last desperate look, then the two men dragged her away. They had said alive, not unharmed.

    Summary

    You died and have been sent for an eternity in the underworld. Your only hope of reincarnation is to gain the approval of the ones in charge of the Seven Courts of Hell, otherwise known as the Circus of Horrors.

    With no memory of your past life and how you died, you wandered around the first court until you met a silent clown clad in crimson and gold who immediately seemed more than willing to assist you. However, you couldn’t shake this strange feeling of familiarity.

    "Have we… met before?"

    Summary

    There is always a catch to human kindness. Everything in your life had taught you that a human would never care for one of your own unless they could get something out of it, so you knew better than to trust the supposed alturism of a stranger offering help to your silent companion. Too bad he already had hearts in his eyes.

    In which you, the reader, are a monstrous member of the Freak Circus of Horrors and make decisions that will change the course of the story.

    This is an interactive fanfiction with multiple routes: you get to choose where you want to go and who you want to be with. Some chapters will have a choice present at the end that will take you to certain chapters depending on what you choose, so don't read this as a linear narrative; it will be very confusing if you do.

    The Freak Circus and its characters belong to Neko Bueno on itch.io. Some lines of dialogue are taken directly from the game.

    Summary

    “I’ve wanted you for so long, and your warmth…I want to take you right now,” he murmured.

    The wretched noises spilling in from the other parts of the castle compelled you to push him off of you, to fight even if your nails were dull compared to his claws.

    But the truth was, you had always been soft on Pierrot.

    He was stronger than Harlequin and faster than Jester, but they had never needed you as Pierrot did. It seemed a Herculean task to deny him, even while his face was still stained with blood. It was a small mercy that he had thought to wash away the red from his hands before he touched you.

    -

    Medieval AU where the monsters are 'employed' by the royal family, and finally tire of serving humans. You, the princess, are spared.
