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.

Leonard must have caught her frown, because he shrugs, looking slightly uncomfortable. “I bunk with the ‘main attraction,’” he says, voice an odd mixture of self-deprecation and poorly-hidden irritation.
“Sheldon?” she asks. Sheldon Cooper, or Sheldon of the Seven Swords or Seven Shotguns, or whatever over-the-top moniker currently attached to his name, supposedly a perfect aim with throwing knives and all forms of guns—blindfolded, upside down, or from horseback. They said the man couldn’t miss. Of course, they send a lot of other bullshit, too. “Is he as good as they say he is?”
Leonard laughs, almost despite himself. “Better,” he says. And then, with an amused smile, half-underneath his breath, “Almost as good as he says he is.”
