Chapter 3

I can finally, finally show off this amazing commission I got from @synnesai, for my fanfic “The Icarists”. The story is a historical/steampunk/circus AU in which Shiro and Keith become an acrobat act for the Altea circus and just about every other possible character shows up where I can fit them.

Inspired by the Broadway show "Circus 1903". After I saw the acrobat act with the noticeable size difference between the two men performing it, my mind went straight to Sheith and would not let it go. So I found roles for almost everyone in the show and started plotting. Check this video out (at the 1:30 mark) for an idea of what icarists do.

Shiro and Keith are getting by, working on the San Francisco docks and doing the occasional stunt for drinking money in the bars. Then a circus manager sees them avert an accident and tracks them down. He wants them in the Altea Circus.

Chapter 3 of my historical/steampunk/circus AU is finally up, with bonus art commissioned from @synnesai! Many thanks, as always, to @latart for the excellent beta work!
