I'm stopping writing in this universe indefinitely as, in recent years, I've begun to feel a lack of inspiration and pull from this fandom. I wanted something different, so now I'm busy with the process of creating and writing my own original stories in my universe.

Despite this decision, I still love The Greatest Showman, but I won't make any promises about continuing to write stories, and the fandom isn't as popular now as it was a couple of years ago.

From now on, the TGS blog will wait in the wings, at the right time with the right mood, there may be new stories.

Im sorry and thanks for understanding ✨

Warnings: Not requested, neutral gender reader.

Specifics: Romance, fluff, hints of daily life, neutral race reader.

Words: 596

.

Nalja

- She loves animals very much and you promise to give her someone when you get married and you have your own home.

- She is very dear to you, because you know the story of her life. It was no easier for her than ordinary, albeit poor people. You try not to mention her past and are always ready to shut up anyone who, for the purpose of mockery, talks about it.

- You like to walk together at night and admire the stars or the moon. Nalja believes that the silence and beauty of the night is the perfect time to spend time with your loved one.

- Nalja loves festivals and carnivals, but they are rarely held in America. Therefore, you try to find out more when new ones come up and sometimes arrange your own carnivals for her.

- For example, you come to her, smartly dressed, and she asks for what occasion. You answer that today is the day (any name), which, of course, you came up with, and in fact, such a holiday does not exist. But Nalja, in any case, appreciates your efforts to cheer and please her.

- The voodoo twin loves Halloween, and usually you celebrate it by painting each other's faces, then going out late at night, and then end the day with pumpkin pie and ginger tea. Sometimes, Khaalida joins you and you go house to house collecting candy, which looks weird, but you don't care.

- She is interested in abandoned buildings and mysterious forests, so she sometimes goes to find something old or ancient in the forest.

- With this, she makes you worry about her. You volunteer to go with her, but she does not always agree, convincing you that she will be fine.

- You like her hair to the touch when it's not updoed and sometimes you play with it and give her a head massage after performances.

- You can say that you do massages well and Nalja asks you to do it if she wants to relax and relieve tension.

.

Khaalida

- Unlike her sister, Khaalida is shy, more mobile and romantic.

- She reminds you of a cute little girl and you like it.

- Sometimes she likes to joke about Nalja and sometimes her pranks make her angry, after which, Khaalida is sad. You have to calm her down and give her a lot of sweets, because this is one of the ways to cheer her up.

- Because of her life story with her sister, Khaalida says she wants to have supernatural powers to prove her power and worth to people.

- But you say she's excellent without powers. And it affects the younger twin, making her smile.

- She calls you "sweet bun".

- Sometimes you tell fortunes to each other on the cards, coming up with your own predictions. Just like that, for fun and good mood.

- You care about her health and for her performances to be great, you cook healthy food for her.

- Knowing that Khaalida does not like to eat only healthy food and is sometimes naughty because of this, you allow her to eat something tasty or sweet, on the condition that she eats a little of what you cook for her.

- You both also write little love notes to each other and put them with your meals at work.

- Since the girl is romantic and dreamy, you try to make her dreams come true, no matter what difficulties await you.

- Thanks to this, the younger twin loves and appreciates you even more, considering that she is very lucky to have a partner like you.

Valuable Meeting

Deng Yan x male reader, Knife Thrower x male reader.

Warnings: Weapon references.

Specifics: Friendship, falling in love, strangers to friends, drabble, reader with heterohromia, neutral race male reader.

Characters: Knife thrower (Deng Yan), shop assistant.

Words: 999

Ding!

There was a ringing of a bell over the front door of the store.

- Hello, can I help you with something or recommend something? -asked the seller when the girl went inside.

- No, thank you, I can handle it myself, -answered Deng Yan, after which she began to walk along the shelves with things.

The store she visited was quite interesting and, for some, even useful. It could be called nostalgic, containing, at the moment, rare and historical things, such as swords, daggers, katanas, vases and dishes of the 16th-17th centuries, books and paintings by famous authors from the 13th-14th centuries and other inventions and values of different years and centuries. The smell of dust and books hung in the cool air, giving this place even more atmosphere and old-fashioned comfort.

Deng Yan had never been to such stores, but had heard about them from some of the workers at the circus. It would be more correct to call this place the “Memory Store”, the word “nostalgia” was not often mentioned. Scraps of toys from her childhood immediately surfaced in her thoughts, such were the girl's ideas about the store when she first heard about it.

However, the expectations of the circus performer were justified and could even be pleasantly surprised when, in addition to the familiar children's toys of many years ago, she saw other various things, perhaps some of them were an example of what was known and fashionable in the youth of her parents and grandparents .

Deng Yan walked among the shelves, examined objects and sometimes stopped at some books that were interesting to read, which she did, taking the right book in her hands and leafing through it, glancing over the text. Then, her attention was attracted by numerous weapons hanging on the wall. They were so different that it was dizzying.

Even before the circus, the girl had long been interested in graceful katanas and daggers, after which, Den Yan expanded her horizon of knowledge to swords and revolvers from book stories and stories heard from others.

Being the acclaimed Knife Thrower of the circus and knowing a lot about weapons, she couldn't help but immerse herself in meticulous research.

The girl was so carried away that she did not notice how she accidentally touched with her elbow a vase standing to her right on another shelf. Fearing that such a valuable would break, she hastened to keep it from falling, but as soon as the old vessel reached the floor, it was caught by someone else's hand. Looking up at its owner, the circus performer met your gaze.

Looking up at its owner, the circus performer met your gaze. Thanks to your flexibility, you were able to catch the vase in the splits, being now in the same position in front of the girl.

- Phew, it was almost close. -you got up from the floor and put the vase back in place.

- You have a wonderful reaction.. and speed. Thank you.

- It's not difficult, thanks. Be careful next time, -you gave her a friendly smile.

- I looked at the weapons and didn’t notice that there were a hundred standing nearby, -she smiled awkwardly.

- This happens. Are you also interested in weapons?

- Yes very. I study them and read a lot about them.

- Oh, amazing. For the first time I see a woman who might be interested in such dangerous things. Oh, my name is (Y.N.).

- Nice to meet you, I'm Deng Yan.

- Wait.... are you from Barnum's circus?

- Yes, that's right.. I heard about this store and decided to see what it is like.

- Wow, didn't expect to meet you here!

The rest of the time you spent looking at and discussing various swords and daggers. As it turned out, you, too, were not indifferent to these weapons. As you walked further through the store, the girl discovered another detail that pleasantly surprised - your flexibility. She asked you to demonstrate your ability and you, arching slightly, took various things from the shelves.

This delighted the Knife Thrower. Of course, some artists worked in the circus who also had this skill, but there were few flexible people in the world and meeting someone else who managed to be born flexible was unusual and significant for a girl, as if you find a rarity among mediocrity.

In addition, she noticed that you have amazing eyes, because they are of different colors! She could not see this in others and the people around her, she only heard something about heterochromia and knew that this happens in animals.

After shopping, you decided to buy some ice cream and continued your day in the park by walking. She liked spending time with you, you were pleasant in communication, without condemnation for the fact that she walked around the city, did not say, like others, that she did not belong here and did not call her narrow-eyed, did not treat her with disdain just because she is woman. You communicated with her on an equal footing, and in addition to your common craving for weapons, you were united by other interests.

Thanks to these pleasant similarities and bonuses in the form of your rare heterochromia and ability to flexibility, they made the girl feel that she was attracted and interested in you, and she would like to continue communicating with you and even try to make friends.

In addition to the artists of Barnum's circus, she had no people in her life who understood and shared her interests, and the fact that you met so successfully today became a memorable and valuable meeting for her. It was even symbolic, because your meeting did not take place anywhere, but in a store of valuable and significant things, with its own history.

. . .

Over time, you continued to communicate, began to see each other more often and sometimes write letters to each other. With each of your lines, Deng Yan became happier, and a new, familiar and valuable feeling was born in her heart.. And her circus friends noticed this well.

The Greatest Showman headcanons

Nea Jauhera x reader, Woman in Gold x reader.

Warnings: Not requested, neutral gender reader.

Specifics: Romance, fluff, hints of daily life, neutral race reader.

Words: 211

- Since she is not only an artist, but also a choreographer in the circus, she also teaches you how to dance.

- Both of you dance both classical dances, like a waltz, and something new, unusual, something that looks like her dance circus numbers.

- Besides that, Nea is your personal dresser. She sews well and creates new dresses/suits for you.

- Nea, like Ann, loves to visit theaters and you always go with her to some new premieres when you have a free minute or a weekend.

- She would love to have the opportunity to perform with you one day.

- Nea loves horses and enjoys riding, but she has never had many opportunities to ride them.

- You promise her that when you get married, you will have your own horse, maybe even several, so that she can devote time to riding.

- She likes to do things with her hands (except for sewing), so sometimes she gives you little surprises.

- She calls you - My Precious.

Gift

The Greatest Showman

Deng Yan x fem platonic reader, Knife Thrower/Swords Woman x fem platonic reader.

Requested by: Anon.

Warnings: A little angst, insecure reader, skin disease.

Specifics: Friendship, drabble, neutral race female reader.

Characters: You, Swords Woman/Knife Thrower (Deng Yan), P.T Barnum (mentioned), Elephant - Skinned Man (Ralph (Jeremy) Crooner, mentioned).

Words: 893

The soft brush of the makeup artist passed over your face, leaving blush on your cheeks. The mirror reflected you, your mottled skin, thanks to which, you were noticed by P.T. Barnum and got into his greatest circus.

There were still two or three hours left before the show started, but you wanted to be prepared early, and besides, your performance will be the first one, since you were new to the troupe, and you can say you started today's show by opening it.

- You still have a lot of time, why do you prepare so early? -the make-up artists and dressers asked you when you asked them to make up and dress you up.

- I want to be ready in advance so that you have more time for other artists. It's my first day and I want everything to go well.. -you answered timidly.

When your makeup, hair and outfit were ready, you suddenly felt insecure, feeling how the time to go on stage was gradually approaching. What if the audience doesn't like you? That you will never get their recognition and respect?

In addition, you never went on stage, you did not have the opportunity and the attitude of other people towards you did not allow. And your mother protected you, once again not letting you out of the house.

You looked around, looking for something that could pass for a secluded place. You realized you didn't want to go on stage, you wanted to hide. After that, you left the dressing room and going forward, you manage to find one of the rooms behind the scenes.

Pushing aside a small velvety curtain hiding this room with your hand, you went inside and looked around. Inside, it was dim, deserted, and there was only a wardrobe for props and a lone floor-length mirror, which was lit by kerosene lamps like garlands.

Sitting on the wooden floor, not afraid to get dust on the skirt of your suit, you wrapped your arms around your knees and looked in the mirror. The illuminated reflection showed what made you now unsure of your abilities, it showed spots on your body, namely vitiligo.

You frowned and averted your eyes, staring at the wall.

After a couple of minutes, you heard your name being called outside the room. Several voices called you, someone was looking for you, but you did not respond.

Gradually, the voices subsided and now only one called you. Then, which is silence. After, you heard steps in your direction and how the curtain was pulled back.

- (Y.N.), there you are, -the voice of Deng Yan, known as the Knife Thrower, and also one of the acrobats, sounded calm, with notes of slight surprise. - We almost lost you.

She stepped a little closer to you and looked around the room.

- Why are you sitting here? It's... quite empty and lonely here.

- I'm... I'm afraid... -you answered quietly, looking at the girl.

- What are you afraid of? -Deng Yan was puzzled.

You bit your lip, thinking whether to admit it or not.

- I don't even know, I'm not sure if I should say.. -you shrugged.

The knife thrower sat next to you and now she looked more serious.

- (Y.N.), you can tell me, don't worry. We might even be able to find a solution to what you're afraid of.

You took a deep breath. Either way, she was right.

- I do not believe in myself. Not sure if the audience will like it.

- Oh, why? -it was strange for a girl to hear, considering that all circus performers are loved here, whatever they may be.

- Because of my skin. Suddenly, spots will look for someone.. disgusting? These spots are not the same as Ralph's, they are different.. vitiligo is something new for the circus, -you again looked in the mirror hanging in front of you both. - Because of them, people called me a cow..

- Yes, it's something new. This is what Barnum appreciated in you and took you to us. This is what distinguishes you from Ralph, but you are not superior to him, you are on the same level with him, -Deng Yan hugged you.

- Do you think that the audience will accept me?

- I don't think I know it. Vitiligo is your highlight. You should not be completely disappointed in yourself without even knowing the result. After all, it can turn out much better than you think. You are more than you are.

You hugged the girl back. Uncertainty and doubts began to slowly go away. - What do you think they'll call me if they like me? -you ran your finger along your spotted hand, grinning.

- Hmm.. how about a leopard? Let leopards have slightly different spots, but the essence does not change.

- Really? Sounds powerful.

- It suits you better. I'm sure your offenders will die of envy. Not every person is worthy of such an elegant and dangerous title, -she giggled, jokingly and lightly elbowing you in the side.

- Thanks. I feel like I'm getting a little better..

- Great, don't be sad. Get on stage and show yourself, show that brave girl that is hidden in you, and I am sure that she is in you. You can become a role model, like all of us in the circus. And remember, vitiligo is your gift. And you are our gift, (Y.N).

Warnings: Not requested, neutral gender reader.

Specifics: Romance, fluff, hints of daily life, neutral race reader.

Words: 408

- Chris is a lover of jewelry and everything shiny. Therefore, you often give her something shiny or sparkling that you can find from clothes or jewelry and accessories.

- Even if she says it's not necessary, she will accept any gifts from you, even homemade jewelry.

- Sometimes, there were even a couple of cases when a girl wanted to someday buy jewelry from something precious, she, in her naivety, bought something from dubious sellers, thinking that she had acquired a real gem, but in reality, it turned out to be just beautiful fake.

- One way or another, but your life with her is brightness, sparkles, shimmer and radiance. And a bit of mystery and wonder.

- Being a real fortune teller, she likes to tell you something simple, like whether you will make new friends.

- But Chris is afraid to guess at more serious things, like your future. She is afraid to see something bad and does not do this in order to protect you from dangers and not upset you.

- Usually, the girl is frank with you and she confided to you that not all of her fortune-telling is good for circus visitors, but she has to hide it from them so as not to scare or anger someone. And she is ashamed of it.

- But you assure her that Chris did it for the good of others, wanted the best and cared for them, and this is humane of her. As if the Gods themselves sent her into this world.

- Undoubtedly, she is like a goddess to you and you try your best to show it and take better care of her.

- The girl loves foxes and she herself looks like them in some way. For this, you often call her a foxy.

- You have two special gifts from each other - for her, this is a homemade figurine in the form of a fox, which serves as her totem. And for you - the pendant amulet from difficulties and sad days.

- Christina knows many legends and mysterious stories that you like to listen to and learn something new every day.

- You have a cute little ritual before her work - in the morning, you give her water soaked in the juice of her favorite berries to drink, and after that, you hold hands for a couple of minutes, charging with strength and positive energy so that her performances and work with divination are successful and she had fewer bad visions.

Headcanons: Dating with Albino Twins

The Greatest Showman headcanons

Florence x reader, Mary x reader, Albino Twins x reader.

Warnings: Not requested, neutral gender reader.

Specifics: Romance, fluff, hints of daily life, neutral race reader.

Words: 600

.

Florence

- With an older twin, your life with her is like a holiday.

- For breakfast, she often tries to come up with something new and funny.

- Your cute nickname from her is - little bunny.

- Florence loves nature and flowers, and you often give her her favorite flowers. Also, she sometimes weaves wreaths for you, and when you leave for work, the girl puts notes for you along with food, where she always draws a three-leaf clover at the end of the note for good luck.

- You love to celebrate spring holidays together, especially Easter. Usually, you give each other various cute things in the form of rabbits and chickens, and then you go for a walk in nature.

- During walks, you both prefer to be further away from people in order to enjoy each other's company and beautiful natural landscapes.

- You both plan to travel to countries rich in beautiful nature.

- Since Florence is lively and cheerful, she often tries to cheer you up and can make you dance even if you are at home.

- You support her before performances and at rehearsals. Surprisingly, your support is good for her and for the success of her performances, there have not yet been cases when everything would be bad.

- You do not allow strangers to stare at her and immediately try to take her away if you are somewhere among people.

- You like to bury your face in her hair, which amuses the girl.

.

Mary

- If with her sister life is a holiday and flowers, then with the younger twin it is home comfort.

- You like to bake something together, as well as visit bakeries and cafes.

- Despite the fact that Mary is usually stared at by employees of establishments, you still go there. Usually, you often remind the girl that you should not pay attention to others and not spoil the enjoyment of your pastime.

- You also buy or cook for each other baked goods or confectionery. Especially, Mary loves your croissants and warm cheese bread.

- Despite the fact that most of the time the twin is modest and cautious, at times, she can afford some pranks and fun. She likes to play pranks on you and many of her jokes are harmless and even cute.

- She often wants to be with you, but understands that you need personal space and free time, therefore, Mary does not often ask you to stay with her or go somewhere together.

- Even if you say that everything is fine and she can contact you at any time, she will still remain silent sometimes, because she wants you to feel comfortable and good in your relationship with her.

- Sometimes, you can be too protective of her. Even in winter, when it's icy, you'd better lift Mary up in your arms so she doesn't fall. Even if others stare at you, you don't care about it.

- This makes the girl feel embarrassed, especially if you are among people, but behind the embarrassment lies the joy and happiness that she has a person like you.

- Knowing that the girl’s skin does not tolerate frost well, you try to make Mary go out less.

- And in the summer, you don't let her get sunburned, and usually, you try to keep her in the shade from the sunlight, because sometimes she can forget that she should not be in the sun.

- Usually, if she's sad or angry (she doesn't get angry very often), you pick and stroke her hair.

- You have funny and matching nicknames - you call her a cinnamon roll, and she calls you a taffy-toffy/honey.
