The Precision of The Fall - MASTERPOST

[snarklyboojum]

Fic title: The Precision of The Fall
Author name: behindblue_eyes
Artist name: daggomus_prime
Pairing: Dean/Castiel, Sam/ Ruby, Sam/Jessica
Rating: R for bad language and reference to sexual situations (And I mean bad language.)
Word count: 36,850
Warnings: alcohol abuse, driving under the influence, latent PTSD, circus animals coming to a bad end (though no animal abuse), cross-dressing, and Michael being a douche.
Summary: They used to be called The Family Winchester. People came from miles around to see their act, knowing their names and faces before the circus even rolled into town. Life was shiny with salt and sawdust, sequins and smiles. Now, all that was left were a few crumpled posters, an empty bunk next to Dean's, and the leather-gripped knives hidden in the trick pockets of his vest.
Special Notes: I don’t know how to do anything mentioned in this story, let alone ride a motorcycle, throw a knife, or fly on the trapeze. All knowledge is gained from the internet. If anyone reading this does know how to do those things and is aware I got anything wrong, you are awesome and please don’t send the clowns after me.
Special Thanks: To daggomus_prime, my brain twin, for her patience and utterly breathtaking artwork. I couldn’t have done it without you. Also to knoifey_spoony for encouragement and the title suggestion.

This was just stunning. Absolutely beautiful. When I saw the premise, I was pretty skeptical (because, after all, not many people think of the circus when they think of Supernatural), but you totally blew me away. The moment I started reading, it seemed completely plausible; everything just FIT. So, I just wanted to say thank you for the beautiful story (and thanks to Dags for the beautiful art!), and I'm so glad that I read it. Beautiful, wonderful, perfect job.

I admit, circus AU is not a phrase one enters into lightly in this fandom. I thought about it a looong time before I actually started writing.

Thanks for reading!
