hihii i’m a migrated fanfiction writer from wattpad and ao3, i’m new to tumblr and was introduced to it by a friend and so here i am making a ff of the freak circus !! i know a lot of underaged people have read fanfics that are way out of their age range but please do not read this as the owner of the game advised 18- not to play, please respect their wishes and enjoy!
also the MC from the original game is also a love interest for u hehehdhdhh
reader will be GN so their pronouns will be they/them and will be precisely revolved around an OC of mine which is a magician+monster in the circus with their theme colors rounding from black and red to gold accents. if i’m not a lazy flip then maybe just maybe i’ll make a sketch/drawing of how my oc looks.
readers thoughts are in -this-
reader lowkey evil in this fiction umm, kinda selfish and rude and blunt and yeha
you’re like tall somewhat like jester but still not 𝗮𝘀 tall because writing any of these characters shorter than magician would be difficult not including mc
also should i make a playlist after each episode? should i call these episodes or chapters, i want it to sound cool. flippp i have so many ideas for how this ff could go!!
(oh my god tags are so ugly i hate them)
warnings for the whole fic :
gore
cannibalism
smut…?
suicide maybe?
sh cough
a LAWT of suggestive scenes
ok here we go
oh also , if you let their obsession bar get too high it’ll become a small issue.
a small one though.
okay?
________________________________________________
The tent had a scent wafting through the air, popcorn and something distinct and metallic. Pierrot was out handing flyers for the circus around the city because how else would you attract ‘clientele’ if you kept eating them all? You stood by the cards you had stacked earlier on top of each other in a pyramid like shape and shoved them back in the box they belonged to all at once , not bothering to check if they were all flipped downward. Fixing your hat you tightened the mask across your face before looking up into the reflection of your mirror, charming as always right?
For now you were assigned with wandering around the circus and making sure everything was in order all the while making sure to greet and show the humans around the performances. Your show wouldn’t start until tomorrow since getting the doves you needed was apparently too much work and the delivery of them would take longer than intended.
you wandered around the circus and watched as a few people tried the sweetened popcorn and raised an eyebrow at how a few of them had tripped against the wedge between the grass and the pavement, you guessed someone must’ve spiked the food with something but wasn’t bothered enough to check it out.
“magician.”
a clear and deep voice called out your title before you swiftly turned around and nodded at the blue figure.
“what’s up blueberry?” you could see his jaw tighten at the term of endearment — or more like of mockery before it went slack as he spoke sternly, no longer in the neutral mood he was once in and more like .. somewhat exasperated as you grinned awkwardly.
“go check up on pierrot. he’s been out for far too long.” he turnt to punch a ticket midway while speaking to you to which you furrowed your brows at but nonetheless obliged with he’s request or more so demand. regardless of him being able to see you, you turnt to start walking out of the circuses radius. stepping out onto the sidewalk you followed the trail of flying papers, all adorned with photos of your precious, fun, deadly circus.

maybe you were hallucinating when you walked by that coffee shop — or cafe, whichever of the both. because it couldn’t have been your dear pierrot that was getting so tenderly bandaged up by some … human, right? and he couldn’t have been grinning bell to bell while blushing like a lovesick puppy, right? you took a few steps back from walking and took a 𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘬 look back through the window and low and behold, that clown was in fact fawning over a 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻. you slightly grimaced under your mask before stepping into the establishment and crossing your arms in the doorway as the bells chimed overhead. the human and pierrot both snapped their heads over at you and pierrot smiled sheepishly as the human cleared their throat and stepped away from the red culprit who looked suspiciously redder than usual.
-this is actually blowing my head right now, he’s gotta be acting right?- you take a nice long look up and down at pierrots slightly cowering form. -yeah that’s not acting.-
you tilt your head at him slightly, awaiting for him to exit the coffee shop so you could follow after but what he does next leaves your mouth agape. out of everything he could have done and does he decides to 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸. in front of the 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻. this is just unbelievable.
“m-magician it’s not what it looks like. please, please don’t tell jester or any of the others about this.”
he walked over to you without glancing at the human and grabbed your hands tightly with his clawed ones clutching them with a firmness that irked you.
-great this is just amazing, this is such a horrible situation for myself. why would he ever speak in front of a human, this defeats his whole point. if he gets caught then so will i and then we’ll both be fed to the wolves. metaphorically of course .. well id hope metaphorically so .-
you shake your head and pull your hands back away from him as his eyes widen in fear and you glance over at the human that was so 𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗹𝘆 holding him. it sickens you to your stomach to see him growing fond of something you both eat, it makes you want to throw up with how stupid this situation was.
“have you gone vegan or something pierrot? you know if the others find this out so suddenly it won’t end well. especially if the one who finds out is harlequin. and i haven’t even addressed the fact you’ve spoken in front of someone who’s not part of the circus”
you accusingly gesture your hand towards the stiff and awkward standing human who looked like they wanted nothing more than to scurry home. pierrot winced as you words hit his ears like they stung, which you’d be happy if they did, maybe then he’ll learn not to fall in love with every rock that hits him softer than the rest. he reaches out and grips your shoulders while looking at you with pleasing eyes, silently begging you to not inform anyone about this encounter while you deadpan and stare back. he wraps you around and into his arms to do what you think is butter you up and that you’d let him slip off the hook, which to no avail had worked on you.
you let out a resigned sigh of pity and disbelief as you stepped away from him and walked out of the shop to which he left his arms fall to his sides, following you silently as he looked back at the human who had watched the whole ordeal go down and he waved silently, probably already planning out their next encounter.
stepping out into the cool night air you shifted a glance back at the shifting pierrot, you both made eye contact before he glanced away.
“y-you won’t tell anyone right?” bless his poor innocent soul. he tried with you which you ignored and started walking in the direction of the circus, him following not far behind. he knew you wouldn’t get involved in anything that doesn’t benefit you so you’d have no reason to report him, other than being purely petty.
