Circus’s and other traveling shows had become very popular in many countries. People liked to be entertained, to be made to laugh, but most of all they desired  to be frightened. It was odd but a fact none the less. People loved to see the strange and unusual, monsters, they wanted to see freaks. The traveling circus, Illusions & Monstrosities was a very popular freakshow because unlike most freakshows it had real monsters and magic.

It’s ringmaster Pegasus was a rich man before he had started this freakshow, he was fascinated with the supernatural and wanted not only collect them but to put them on display for the world. There were many creatures Pegasus had collected over the years. There was a mermaid, a werewolf, and a chimaera but Pegasus’s prized freak was his dragon-man Seto. Seto was actually part of an ancient bloodline of humans and dragons called Dragovians, it had been a recessive trait in both his parents blood and combined to be the dominant trait in Seto. Though because of his dragon appearance he was abandoned shortly after birth. He lived in an orphanage in a small town up until his early teens, that was when Pegasus took him to be the main attraction in his freakshow.

As Seto matured his dragon-like appearance became more define. He had large patches of white scales over his skin that had a blue tint to them. It started at his ears that were pointed and fin-like and the scales traveled down his cheeks and down each side of his neck, the scales on the left side were further down onto his chest. His fingers were long and had nails like talons with the scales partially up his arms. Seto had a tail as long as he was tall, and he was quite tall, that had large scales similar to armor plates with boney demonic looking wings growing out of his shoulder blades.

The Dragovian couldn’t fly and never would, thanks to years of abuse. His wings were torn like tattered cloth and scars littered his body from being whipped and chained most of his life. Though once his found his dragon breath Pegasus and the circus quickly learned they could no longer keep him locked up. Each Dragovian hada different dragon breath, it wasn’t just fire but could be any element. Seto’s happened to be lightning and he had used it against those who had been hurting him. After killing three trainers Pegasus changed things up and decided to approach him as a man rather than a creature. Being what he was Seto didn’t belong anywhere else but they came to an agreement that as long as he preformed in the show he would not be caged or chained.

The treatment had not only improved for Seto but also the other freaks as well. After the others had seen what had happened to their dragon brother they wanted the same. Once this new order was put into place life for the freaks was no longer torment, but rather enjoyable. That was for the freaks that behaved, the new-comers remained caged until they could be taught the order of things.

This is a compilation of AU ideas and plots that I would like to explore. I’ll probably be editing this constantly, adding more ideas and such. If you find any of these interesting and would like to have your muse involved, don’t hesitate to send me an IM (even if we’re not mutuals)! I’d love to get to write these with you! If we’ve never interacted before just make sure to go through my rules page first ^^

Model AU

AU in which Ryou is a model. Muse B is either a photographer, make-up/hair artist, designer, another model or someone else in the industry.

Catacombs AU

AU in which Ryou lives in Paris and is a cataphile, which means he enjoys exploring the off-limits sections of the catacombs. He sometimes can be convinced to offer tours to people who don’t look like psychos, are willing to pay a fee and don’t fear following him into the dark underground tunnels. Muse B is looking for something new and thrilling to do in Paris.

Variation #1: Ryou lives in Paris and does make money out of giving tours through the catacombs, but there is somethig off about him. He is also part of a cult that gathers at the off limits sections of the catacoms to carry out rituals. He roams the nightclubs at nights to find victims to bring down to the catacombs. Muse B could be a potential victim, a tourist, or another cultist (keeping him involved through threats?)

Winged AU

AU in which Ryou is half angel, half demon (Change of Heart kind of thing), has been captured and is being held captive at a freak show. Muse B could be another creature in the same situation, the owner of the freak show or a human spectator.

Variation #1: Ryou is an angel who wanders the human realm and whose purpose is to comfront and seal away dark creaturess/entities that might threaten humans. Sort of like a guardian angel that fights beings of darkness.

Psychiatric Hospital AU

AU in which Ryou is a patient at a psychiatric hospital, kept there because of his ability to see and hear ghosts. Of course no one believes him and he’s just treated as an insane person. Muse B is a doctor/nurse/staff there.

Variation #1: Muse B is another patient (maybe infamously dangerous but seems to behave around Ryou?).

Actors AU

AU in which both Ryou and muse B are professional actors currently working together on the same TV show/drama/movie. They’re each other’s lover/love interest in the show, but the line  between acting and real life starts becoming blurry.

Merman AU

AU in which Ryou is a merman while muse B is human.

Variation #1: Muse B catches Ryou witth intentions of selling him for a lot of money, but ends up changing his mind after they grow close against all odds.

Variation #2: Muse B is saved from drowning by Ryou. Muse B asks how he can repay him and Ryou asks that Muse B gives him a tour around the city (Ryou temporarily gets legs).

Cam boy AU

AU in which Ryou makes money by being a cam boy, selling sexy pictures, videos and livestreams. He never shows his face though. Muse B is a regular customer. One day, during a stream, Ryou’s face accidentally comes into view, and some time later, Muse B recognizes Ryou.

Variations: turns out they live in the same building/work in the same place or area/go to the same gym/etc.

Note: this particular one would involve mature themes

Hanahaki disease AU

AU in which Ryou suffers of a rare disease that consist of coughing up flowers in consequence of experiencing one-sided love. The flowers growing inside the body can be surgically removed, but if this is done, the feelings of love also disappear. This condition can also be cured if the victim’s love is reciprocated. Muse B is the object of Ryou’s affection.

Note: you can google the term or message me for more info on the (fictional) disease. 

Coffee shop AU

Details to be edited. Open to hear your ideas!

Ancient Egypt AU

Dancer Ryou.

Stalker AU

Variation #1: College/University setting. Ryou is a regular student and starts getting mysterious notes and pictures (of him or things related to him) sent by muse B, who is following and observing him from the distance. Muse B could be another student or a staff member.

Variation #2: Coffee shop or bookstore setting (these are Ryou’s jobs in his main verse). Very similar to variation#1 but muse B is now a customer of either of the places.

Vampire AU

Variation #1: Ryou has recently been turned by muse B to be their companion.

Variation #2: Blood slave Ryou.

Arranged marriage AU

Variation #1 (Ex-lovers): Ryou and muse B used to be lovers some time prior to the point where their families arranged them to get married. Their past relationship didn’t end well, possibly with one of them ending up broken-hearted. They didn’t speak after the break-up, but now they are stuck together with a lot of unresolved tension. (whatever caused the breakup is open for discussion).

Variation #2 (Affair): Either Ryou or muse B is married to someone he doesn’t love but cannot leave because of a family arrangement. He is however in love with the other muse (again either Ryou or muse B depending on who is the married one) and they are secret lovers.

Host Club AU

Host/customer dynamic.

Night Club AU 

Variation #1: Bartender Ryou.

Starter for @wanderingxghosts.

It had come as a surprise more than anything, they really thought they’d be scrambling to find a replacement for their retiring veteran nurse. No one else in the whole facility had been more equipped to handle his case. That, and they flat out refused. No one wanted to touch that with a ten foot pole and for good reason. 

However, they were surprised to find someone actually put in an application for the position even with a description of the patient. One at least, that the media had already gotten their hands all over far before all this. Everybody knew what he did but not entirely either. Some things just weren’t meant for morning paper. 

One of the guards stood at the end of the hall behind thick tall bars. A barrier separating one side from the other where several cells were lined up in a holding area. A plain white door at the opposite end of the long stretch of hall with a small sign that said ‘Examination room’ in red letters. 

He stood primed with a set of keys in one hand as he seemed to wait for a moment before he finally saw another male and a second guard come around the corner. He sucked in a small breath, the other wasn’t exactly what he had expected to see... He knew it would be a male nurse but they looked. Well, nonthreatening and smaller than he imagined. Not to mention a lot younger than any of the nurses who had tried to handle their case. He just hoped looks were very deceiving. 

He wasn’t a big fan of how are you doing questions when they were aimed back at himself, mostly because it felt like... there was nothing for him to really say or add.  His life was boring. Which was a good thing, or at least that’s what he consistently tried to tell himself. 

Boring meant that his life was safe and consistent and maybe just a touch disappointing. 

@wanderingxghosts Continued from HERE

Art History wasn’t necessary for Jou’s law degree, but he feels it’ll come in handy for his job at the antique store, at the very least. Plus, he’s always been interested in history and since he has one free choice for an elective, he chose that.

The classroom is on the far side of DU’s campus, in the Liberal Arts wing. Completely opposite from where his usual classes are, and between two of said classes, the walk is a labor at least. He’s usually light-headed and short of breath by the time he gets there.

He makes sure to get there early, though, so he has time to recover before anyone else shows up.

The Spirit looked up from his folded and bruised arms and up at the small window he had opened to watch his old host. His words were both oddly satisfying and depressing.
