Fic post: Dreams and Circus Crowds

[selenay]

Thanks, as always, to the wonderful Fahre for beta-ing this despite the length, talking me down from the panics when the short circus AU turned into a 27k novel, and cheerleading me the whole way. She also threw "Both Sides Now" by Joni Mitchell at me when I was stuck for titles.

This is for the Circus AU square of my trope bingo card. It was supposed to be a short fluffy fill. It's definitely not short. And it ended up with more angst than expected. Drat these boys.
