Circus of Dead Boys and Girls (Fanfic)

Circus of Dead Boys and Girls is the Archive of Our Own adaptation of the Tumblr askblog Fandomstuck Hivefled, a Recursive Fanfiction for the Hivefled universe, but focused on different characters, as written by Sanamun.

Tropes:

Alien Blood:The trolls have varying shades of maroon (Mialik and Nahoko), orange (Tsukey and Kannah), gold (Marien), green (Crioph), blue (Alessa) and purple (Loreza and Senant).
All Love Is Unrequited: Casca falls for her 'fuck buddy' Eli, who ends up ending their relationship due to the realization that they view Cas as more of an older sister than anything else.

Ambiguously Brown: Sofya is (jokingly) described as such, and Casca's response to being asked her ethnicity is "Honestly? Who even knows anymore." Though Word of God is that Sofya is Indian and Casca is mixed race.
Ambiguous Gender: Eli is referred to with 'they' pronouns.

Anthropomorphic Personification: Originally, due to being a spinoff of Fandomstuck though the main cast are simply normal (somewhat) humans.
Animal-Eared Headband: Variant with Kayden's 'horns'.
Artifact Title: The "Fandomstuck" part of Fandomstuck Hivefled; the series grew out of a Fandomstuck-style Anthropomorphic Personification of Hivefled, but the main plot and characters have nothing to do with said personification anymore, being more a spin-off of the original fic.

Claustrophobia: Kayden has a particularly severe case that apparently gives him panic attacks whenever he's in an enviroment he can't easily escape from.

Collector of the Strange: Kayden has plushies of dead people and Tsukey has knives.
Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: Every major character is associated with a specific color:
- Kayden: Indigo
- Sian: Lavender
- Tsukey: Dark Orange
- Sofya: Maroon
- Eli: Lime Green
- Casca: Pink

Defiant to the End: A couple of the Kin; Kannah casually relates to Kayden that she died trying to fight off her Keeper and he accidentally killed her during the resulting struggle.
Dude Looks Like a Lady: Kayden's Pretty Boy looks have gotten him mistaken for a girl a few times.
Ethical Slut: Sian most obviously; she's a deeply moral person with a strong sense of justice, and is also more or less down for sexytimes with any girl who asks.
Evil Knockoff: Played with, a little. Tsukeysprite definitely isn't as purely heroic as original flavour Tsukey, but she's still ultimately well-intentioned, just with a somewhat different goal to the main characters and a habit of withholding important information, all of which is justified by her origin- see Fridge Logic, below.

Fridge Logic: The differences in personality between the original Tsukey and her sprite counterpart can be attributed to the fact that Tsukeysprite is more a projection of Kayden's feelings (and misconceptions) about Tsukey than her real self.
Glass Eye: Sian has one, sometimes. Though she usually just wears a patch.
Ghost Memory: Tsukeysprite seems to have all of Tsukey's memories, plus a few extra from her guide powers/knowledge of the medium.
Long-Haired Pretty Boy: Kayden and Senant. Eli doesn't consider themselves a 'boy' as such, but has the look.
Mysterious Stranger: Tsukey, at least from the perspective of people other than Kayden.

Horned Humanoid: The trolls. Kayden tries to be this via headband.
Hot-Blooded: Sofya is mentioned as having 'anger issues'.
La Résistance: Sian and Tsukey both belonged to these in their backstories. Neither case ended well.
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: The fourth wall is apparently a literal wall, which Tsukeysprite broke
Lipstick Lesbian: Sian, literally, given that she has never been seen without her trademark purple lips.

Past Experience Nightmare: Kayden tends to have a lot of nightmares; somewhat unsurprisingly, given his past.
Perky Goth: Sian, also to some extent the aesthetic of the entire thing.
Psychic Dreams for Everyone: Sofya can apparently contact the Godhand in dreams, and Kayden and Tsukey have a psychic connection to the other Kin.
Rape as Backstory: Kayden and Tsukey, explicitly. Slightly implied for Sian. Effectively every Kin troll, though its not talked about much with them.
Scars Are Forever: Sian, Sofya and Kayden all have a few prominent ones. Tsukey hides hers under a scarf.
Shout-Out:
- Tsukey lives somewhere Atop the Fourth Wall.
- Sofya trying to convince Sian to join her for a homoerotic water fight.
- The title "Circus of dead boys and girls" is a lyric from "Circus Apocalypse" by VermillionLies, as well as a shoutout to Hivefled.
Sliding Scale of Comedy and Horror: Somewhere in the middle, depending on the context. The author has described it as "a light-hearted Slice of Life story set in Silent Hill".
