    Summary

    You’ve lived in the circus for years now, under the careful protection and love of Pierrot. One day, you wake up to the smell of breakfast being made for you, and in your happiness, you can’t help but ask Pierrot a special question. (Mostly gender neutral reader, but there is mention of the reader wearing a dress and being called ‘wife’).

    Special thank you to destinysquared for their ideas and contribution.

    Summary

    Your father always told you about monsters when you were small. Terrible and godless creatures that hid in the shadows and fissures beyond human society. Beasts sent from hottest hell to test mankind with their words and their deception.

    They are not of this world, you’d hear him say. They use dark and wicked means to prey on the weaknesses of men, women, children, it didn’t matter. They crudely mimic human faces, hide amongst neighbors. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light, he’d recite.

    OR:

    An AU in which the old circus Ringmaster had a child, one who was kept in the dark about the true nature of the performances ever since they began. But when your curiosity boils over and fuels you to sneak into the hidden room just inside the main show tent that you were forbidden to enter, you begin to question everything you've ever known, everything you've ever been taught.

    What makes a monster? What makes a sinner and what makes a saint? Most importantly, what makes a person?

    Summary

    While you were very comfortable with simple spells and household magic, you practiced magic beyond your capabilities.

    It was successful in a way, but unfortunately your grimoire was still sitting on your desk. You’d have to rely on your memory to get home. Thank goodness you found yourself a beautiful pink eyed assistant, even if that was an accident as well. The monsters that joined her was just a bonus.

    Summary

    You are the son of the Ringleader, in a circus designed to break both you and the creatures it cages.

    Something shifts as you begin to see the creatures not just as monsters, but creatures suffering under the same hand that you do.

    And you can fix it. For yourself, and for them.

    (basically written before they kill Columbina, you take over the circus and fix things)
