   Summary

   Riley finally manages to slowly put their life together after getting out a longtime abusive relationship when The Freak Circus of Horrors comes to town. However they never expected it to bring an obsessive (and shockingly adorable) clown into their life who's determined to make them feel loved whether they like it or not. Riley and Pierrot have to navigate the minefield of Riley's trauma and it only gets worse when Pierrot manages to make the biggest mistake he possibly could. But perhaps this band of monsters was exactly what Riley needed in their life all along?
