Title: panem et circenses
Author: lyceumidence
Pairing: Erik/Charles
Rating: R
For the prompt: "Circus, fortuneteller!Charles, knifethrower!Erik, others thrown in."
Honestly, I was expecting fun and crack and glitter and razzle-dazzle, but this... this is darkness and chains and pain and blood... and it's completely breathtaking. The writing itself is gorgeous, the scenes are lovingly crafted, and the emotion almost suffocates me with it's intensity. This is Sebastian Shaw's traveling circus of madness and pain, and through it all, Erik and Charles realize "'You and I,' he whispers, very softly, 'With the world.'" I wish the beach had ended with this quote T_T
