    Summary

    En la primavera de 1952, el gran Circo Ringling Bros. y Barnum&Bailey abre la temporada con una atracción única en el mundo: el número de trapecio volante de Bruer y Orsini. Solo seis hombres en la historia han logrado antes la proeza que van a intentar: el triple salto mortal.

    Mike Ribble conoce el precio de fracasar en el intento. La noche del estreno, está en Nueva York para presenciar el triunfo, o la caída, de sus antiguos compañeros de trapecio.

    Summary

    He'd come to a stop a bit to one side of the flow of traffic, since he was far from the only person walking along the Place de la Concorde at this hour—far from the only person who'd paused to look out at the river, either, for that matter. As if from a distance, the sound of hurrying steps came toward him, and he eased out of the way further still; somebody in a rush, sure, and wanting to pass by everybody walking slower, and here he was standing in their road. "Pardon," he said, "j'm'excuse," keeping his head ducked low, wiping absently at his wet cheeks.

    Except the footsteps didn't keep on. They scraped to a halt right there by him. And Mike knew, knew, even without looking up, and covered his face with his hand, twisting away, wishing for one grim fierce second that he'd thrown himself in the goddamn river without wasting any time.

    "Hey, Mike," Tino said.

    Summary

    This could exist anywhere between Tino's first trip up into the rigging and Lola's interjection into the act. Tino doesn't know where he stands with Mike and Mike doesn't know how long Tino will stick around. They find a rare chance at privacy and seeing if they can make their hearts beat in time. Fluff and porn with no real plot.
