    Summary

    “What would you have done if your little plan hadn’t worked? If I’d taken a fancy to Hakyeon as well?” Jaehwan asked, petting Hongbin’s cheek with the pads of his fingers.
    Hongbin leaned into the touch, if only briefly. “I’d have wept.”
    Jaehwan chuckled, a soft sound. It took everything Hongbin had not to beg for a kiss.

    (‘Lumen ad Somnia’ alternate timeline where Hongbin’s little plan doesn't work, and Jaehwan does, in fact, take a fancy to Hakyeon.)

    Summary

    Jeon Jungkook wanted to work in a circus. He found one and maybe he found something more than just a circus.
    “Hmmm, ok. Do you understand that this job requires you to live, eat and travel with us all the time? Of course, you will get 4 days-off a month between big shows, but other than that we're always together, rehearsing and brainstorming ideas, organizing and promoting our shows. I can assure you that you will do more than just the magician's assistant job, we're all pretty much multi-functional. The cook is our creative director and sometimes I mop the floors with our cleaner. Are you ready for such a workload? You'll probably never have any personal life here,”

    “Does it mean you're accepting me?” Jungkook asked, eyes wide and shiny.

    Summary

    Technically, Remus isn’t allowed to do magic. It’s all part of some heavy anti creature legislation that was passed before he was old enough to speak, you see. There’s not much werewolves are allowed to do these days other than exist and starve.

    Still, this is muggle London, he’s working at a carnival, and when he plays his part just right the owner allows him to keep most of the coins.

    What could possibly go wrong?

    Summary

    The WonderlandsxShowtime troupe’s sponsors hired another performer last week, a gangly young man with messy brown hair that goes by Leo. When asked if he had chosen Leo as an alias for the Pokemon Litleo, he shook his head and pointed to the night sky. His black gloves caught the glow from the tent's electric lamps, the radiance making his hands shimmer.

    “Leo, like the constellation. A proud lion sitting high in the sky, overlooking its kingdom.”

    And he offers nothing else.


    When an elusive young man joined his theater troupe, ringmaster Rui Kamishiro thought nothing of it. Another actor is another face he would mold to fit the next show and the one that follows after it. His background as a Coordinator might clash with the others in the troupe, but he did it with Emu, their resident League Finalist, he can do it with Leo.

    But do the ringmaster really understands what he's gotten in his hands?

    (Or; 5 times Leo takes the troupe by surprise, and 1 time Rui swept Leo off his feet.)

    Summary

    There were a lot of names for the traveling act. A circus, most people called it. Others with less tact called it a freak show. And it was both of the previous labels and more. The rich would come from miles around to marvel at the wonders that he had to offer, and the anger of his acts was slowly bubbling up, building and fighting to get to the surface. Each member of the circus has their own demons, but united under Valour, those demons just might break lose.

    Summary

    A lizard the size of a man. Jenny imagines a wyvern-like creature, ready to throw open the cage doors when let loose. Or perhaps, a crocodilian specimen, jaws wide enough to swallow a crinoline skirt. She braces herself for any possibility. Taking a deep breath, she enters the tent quietly, and is faced with a green woman in rags.

    It’s certainly not a mermaid, that’s for sure.

    Or,

    AU: Jenny stays with her family’s traveling circus, and Vastra is captured by the very same troupe. Jenny is tasked with the care of the freakshow creatures, but she gets a little more than she bargained for when her newest charge is a temperamental Silurian.
