First Place:



A New FamilyAnother busy day had ended. Yet again Snake had spent his day behind bars while people had stared at him calling him names such as “freak” “horrific” and “Abomination” He had grown used to such names but that still didn't lessen the pain. Watching as the sun went down and the sky changing colors Snake sat against the far side of his small habitat wondering how many days this had made that he had been kept captive here as part of some traveling freak show.
Sinking lower into his thoughts he lowered his head down onto his knees and choked back a sob.
“Cheer up.” Said a small voice. Snake lifted his head to see one of his snake friends, Wordsworth staring back at him.
“One day we will find a way to be free, jusssst you wait.”
At this statement Snake just lowered his head again while in an attempt to comfort him Wordsworth wrapped himself around Snakes shoulders in a scarf formation.

W1- The Mouse [Kuroshitsuji Fanfic]The mouse is scrawny, gray, and tailless.  Now, Joker wouldn't consider himself a charitable person, but the creature is so pathetic he can't help but scoop it up and place it in a box lying around his tent.  As Joker goes out in search of scraps from the evening meal, he wonders what prompted his sudden act of goodwill.  He is aware that the world is cruel and letting nature take its course would have been best, but letting the creature die would have felt rather cold.  Maybe the invalid mouse was a bit too much like himself, back when he'd suffered on the streets, armless, tiredly wishing for a savior.  Joker chuckled.  Or perhaps he was just getting soft.  Joker enters the dining tent and grabs a few extra vegetables, a canteen of water, and, after a bit of thought, some cheese for good measure.
Rain poured out from the weeping sky, unaware of the misery it was bestowing upon four children of East End.  The children huddled together beneath
:iconasel1:
W2- Lovely tainted desire (Joker OC)Please Comment
The bitter  cold  of  the  town  was  all I  felt.  Life  was  none  too  kind  to  me, and  neither  was  me coming here. I  fled  away on a  company  ship from  my  home  country, Spain. The  english people  were  not  kind, even  though  they  talked  about  being  a  gentleman  or  lady like.  I  was  walking  down the  regular  path during  the  bright afternoon, the  cold  was  some what  lifted, but the breeze  was  there.  I  sneezed  and  rubbed  my  nose then  rubbed  my  arms. "What's a  pretty  girl  like  you doing  out  here in this cold weather?" I  heard  someone  say, but didn't  pay
:iconnarutoeatsasuke:
W3- The Heart of The Circus. (Kuroshitsuji)Ciel felt a vein twitch in his forehead.
"Smile!"
"A huge smile!"
He was grinding his teeth so hard he was sure they would mesh together.
"A dazzling one!"
"With all your teeth!"
"Smile!" "Smile!" Joker and Dagger pestered him.
A soft giggle left his lips as he revealed his beautiful set of teeth set in a perfect upward curve. It warmed Joker's and Dagger's hearts just that little bit. Sebastian smirked slightly, a silent promise that he would be sure to bring up that occurrence more than a few times in the future. After that harrowing experience, Sebastian and Ciel were finally introduced to the rest of the circus crew as 'Black' and...'Smile'. It would haunt him forever, he was sure, if that amused look in his demon butler's eyes was anything to go by.
"Alright! Enough stretching you two! It's time to practice! Come with me and I'll help you with your knife-throwing, Smile. Though, we first have to find an act for Black...What can you do?" The blonde knife-thrower interru
:iconangiehimesan:
W4- Joker x OC: Conversation PartnersStep right up
We bring to you the finest entertainment
And I am pleased to be your humble servant
Except our hospitality
Indulge in abnormality

Joker didn’t normally frequent places like this. He wasn’t sure why he was there. He just wanted to get away for a while. It was one of those bars that offered entertainment and, ahem, “entertainment” and cheap drinks with high prices. He wasn’t interested in anything except his drink, but then those lyrics drifted through the air and caught his attention. There was a woman on stage. He watched her, more listening to the music than anything else.
Step right up
We’ve something here for everyone’s enjoyment
I do this as a gift not for employment
A portrait of insanity
Approached with pure humanity
Come… See… Our… Girls!

At this point several women came out on stage, all flashy and scantily clad, mostly in feathers and fishnets. Quite a few were in the audience as well flirt
:iconmagixfire:
W5- Noble"Life in the circus doesn't seem all that bad. It's hard yeah, but it's good. Better than livin' on the street or bein' sent ta the workhouse anyways," Alize said, walking between the rows of tents.


Next to her was Joker. He'd been asking about how she was enjoying being part of the circus. "So ye think ye'll stick around?" he asked.


Alize nodded, "I think so. I got no where else ta go."


Joker smiled, resting his bone hand on her shoulder. "I'm glad ta 'ear that. Now be thinkin' about a stage name. Ye’ll 'ave that before you can perform," he said before walking away.


She nodded and waved goodbye, watching him duck between two tents. The next while she spent wandering the circus grounds, eventually finding her way to the training tent. It was pretty late so she hadn't expected to see much of anyone training, however Dagger was throwing knives into a target and Peter was on the high bar

Yet again Snake had spent his day behind bars while people had stared at him calling him names such as “freak” “horrific” and “Abomination” He had grown used to such names but that still didn't lessen the pain. Watching as the sun went down and the sky changing colors Snake sat against the far side of his small habitat wondering how many days this had made that he had been kept captive here as part of some traveling freak show.

W7- All for a Smile:bulletwhite: All for a Smile :bulletwhite: 

Doll had been upset and distraught many times in her young life, but having lived on the streets where she had fought to survive; the young woman had learned never to give into such crippling emotions. But now as she hovered by the bedside of her newly acquired friend and tent-mate, Doll couldn’t push back the tirade of fear.
Bright, crystalline tears formed in her one good eye, as her mind took her back and replayed a single frightening scene in her head again and again. And each time it replayed, Doll feared it more.
The young woman had been walking around the circus grounds- enjoying the slight breeze that had overcome the somewhat humid temperature of earlier that day- and gazing up at the sky in hopes of seeing some stars. Doll had always loved the stars- for they were constant and never changing, even if you couldn’t see them. And this had always been a comforting thought to the orphaned girl- for what could be

There was the ever telling sounds of a drizzle from outside, not thick enough to come down in sheets, and yet at the same time not gentle enough to be a sprinkle. The normally hot day had been trampled underfoot firstly by the people who were forced to endure it, adding to the musty air surrounding the crowded streets of London the smell of sweat and manure from horse drawn carriages.
