Disclaimer: BBT is not mine. No, not even this twisted, twisted version of it.
Warnings: Triggery for emotional and physical abuse as well as several mentions of a miscarriage. Also – very strong language and alcohol addiction.
Summary: AU – Circus performers in a world recovering from a devastating war in the 1980s. Penny joins the circus and meets Sheldon, Raj, Leonard, and Howard, who all have their own reasons for being there. But you can only run so far from your past, and eventually you have to start moving forward.
Pairings: Slight Leonard/Penny, Raj/Sheldon, Howard/OCs, eventually Sheldon/Penny, Raj/Howard, Leonard/Leslie (slight implications of possible future Sheldon/Penny/Wil)
