A/N: This is a continuation of If There be Beauty in Youth it is Not Found in You *You do not need to read it to understand this fic, but it might help flesh some things out.*
Summary: It seems no matter how hard he tries, Brendon’s always doomed to trip into other people’s lives in just the right way to disrupt things. Being immortal means he’s had plenty of time to realize this, yet somehow he keeps making the same mistakes. If he’s not playing the part of mouse to William’s cat, he’s forever running from the consequences of being the only person capable of standing still while the rest of the world continues to rush forward

On the side of a dusty road, he meets two men trying to fix a flat and offers to help them. The kind gesture gets him a job pitching tents for a traveling carnival. When he says yes, he doesn’t quite know what he’s expecting, but becoming friends with the carnival’s fortune teller and bearded lady isn’t one of those events. Nor is finding himself caught in the middle of the violent relationship between the carnival’s owner and its stage magician.

Maybe this time around, though, he’s found something to hold on to.
