    Summary

    A traveling circus arrives in town. The clowns that work there are monsters. Danica and Rhiannon know this for a fact. But when Rhiannon sees one of the clowns being harassed in the street, she just can't help herself from being kind, much to her twin Dani's dismay. Thus begins an intense romance between Rhi and the clown named Pierrot, and a hilarious plot to get the notoriously single Dani hooked up with a certain, green themed asshole she claims to hate.

    Summary

    You've seen it. A fic formatted like a classified document. A chapter that looks like a real social media feed. An interactive game, somehow, inside an AO3 work. You clicked the kudos button. You thought: how.

    This is the tutorial that answers that.

    A beginner-friendly guide to HTML and CSS on AO3 — no prior coding experience required. By the end of this series, you'll know enough to write formatted fics, build your own workskins, style your entire AO3 interface, and maybe make something that makes other people stop and think how.

    Summary

    She climbed onto the stage while the Jester was directing his Fool assistants. She crept up silently, like a shadow, and with all her might, hugged his leg.
    — Mommy! Your performance was beautiful! You were gorgeous, I love you, Mommy! — she blurted out and held out a broom made of half-wilted wildflowers.
    The Jester turned his head so slowly that Katherine almost heard the creak of his neck vertebrae. He stared at the pitiful bouquet, then at the beaming Katherine. A silence fell over the tent that could be cut with a knife.

    Summary

    You are a human in a world run by monsters. They don’t bother hiding most of their monstrous traits, but they do adhere to a strict roster of theatrical and performance roles. They’re given names at birth, but choose their role as they mature. Anything from Noh and Kabuki from the east, to Commedia dell’arte, there are roles to be filled. This includes mystical roles such as the major arcana and playing cards. All monsters cover their faces as a show of propriety and respect for the old ways, but they also keep humans as pets and food livestock. There are many ferals still, hidden in back alleys and forests or disguised as monsters. Fresh, feral blood is a delicacy. At least monsters have found a way to synthesize human flesh to ensure their diet is sustainable should humans become a threatened species (which has happened in the past), but many still indulge in the hunt.

    Unfortunately, even while disguised as a monster yourself, you have attracted the attention of a hunter. Fortunately, or unfortunately, he wishes to devour you in a completely different way.

    Summary

    "It's all fun and games till someone falls in love"

    The circus finally arrived to your town after five years since the last one yet it can't help but bring a sense of dread instead of the usual excitement pooling at the base of your stomach.

    Mainly for four reasons:
    •It appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the night.
    •Children are not allowed inside thanks to its heavy horror themed attractions
    •It last for 30 whole days
    •And five workers seems a bit too excited to welcome you to their performances.

    But you can't back down now, can you? Especially since you have promised your best friend to be there for her as she gets over her fear of clowns.

    You will just have to deal with an clingy pierrot, a cocky harlequin, a cold ticket taker, a curious doctor and a mysterious jester. . .
    .

    Mh?

    Wasn't there also a sweet fool?
