    Summary

    "The little bell clings above the door when he pushes it open, and he stamps his feet on the welcome mat to rid any clumps of snow that may have stuck to his shoes. The place is completely empty, not even anyone behind the counter, and he wonders for a second if they’re even open when there’s a small crash and a ‘fuck’ from somewhere in the back.

    Michael chuckles to himself and unzips his jacket. He knows the cause of that racket. “You okay back there?” he shouts, leaning over the counter to try and see into the storage room."

    Summary

    The first thing he notices is that the main tent – the big top – isn’t red and white, but is instead black, silver and purple. That seems to be the colour scheme throughout, because each of smaller tents that are dotted around the field is a variation of those colours. Some are black with silver stars, others purple with black moons, and so many more combinations Luke can't even count. The people who work here are easy to tell apart from the visitors. They’re dressed completely in black and wearing purple or silver accessories – hats, suspenders, shoes, bowties. Their faces painted black and white – as skeletons, some kind of monsters or with symbols on their cheeks. Luke hasn’t been close enough to see what any of the symbols are yet.

    Luke is dragged to the circus by his brother and ends up falling for the magician's assistant.

    Summary

    “Mikey,” He feels Luke slowly pry his hands away from his face. “Are you listening to yourself?”

    He holds Michael’s hands in his own larger ones, tracing the lines on his palm as he stares at Michael’s reflection seriously. His nails are glinting against the blinding lights in the room, and Michael catches his own reflection in them. Green, contorted. Green with envy. But who is he jealous of?

    ***

    Michael's performing at Madison Square Garden like he's dreamed of all his life. But the pressure gets to him, and soon, he finds himself rethinking every decision he's ever made.
