Rating: R [language, sex]
Fandom: Katekyo Hitman Reborn
Pairings: 8059, Tsuna/Kyoko, D18, Nana/Iemitsu; mentioned Bianchi/Reborn, Bianchi/various
Characters: [those not in pairings] Lambo, I-Pin, Haru, Ryohei, Mukuro, Chrome, Shamal
Words: 8167
Summary: Is it true what they say?//Is it all just fun and games?//Or is there more behind the makeup,//And the faces full of paint? Circus AU
Notes: Massive thanks to makemegray for always being super encouraging and wonderful. There are run on sentences quite often in this because the vast majority of it is meant to be along the lines of an internal monologue. Summary lyrics are from Enter the Circus by Christina Aguilera. An ouroboros (mentioned in Chrome’s section) is a serpent or dragon eating it’s own tail that often represents self-reflexivity or cyclicality.
Their positions within the circus: Tsuna is in training to become the new ringleader after Dino steps down to take over the finances. Reborn is the current ringleader alongside teaching Tsuna. Kyoko and Haru are aerialists, Ryohei is an animal tamer, Gokudera is a fire breather and Bianchi is a fire dancer. Shamal is the camp doctor, Yamamoto is a clown and a juggler. Lambo will one day be trained to be a clown and I-Pin will be an aerialist. Mukuro is a magician and Chrome is his assistant. Hibari doesn’t actually have a role in the circus as such but he pops up and no one questions his being there.
