Summary
Sirius would be the first to admit that he was prone to unnecessary dramatics, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that something of the person he had been was lifted away with the curtain call. One version of Sirius had entered the tent and a different one walked back out into the sun. It was, in a way, exactly what Walburga Black had hoped for; what an enjoyable irony to comfort himself with as he reluctantly left the stage behind.
In post-war England with society on the precipice of a major shift, Sirius Black reaches the tipping point within his own family. With nowhere else to go, he turns to a new friend and his family's traveling circus for an escape. Even with the fresh start he hoped for and an unexpected chance at love, eventually, Sirius must admit that one family can never be entirely left behind for another.
