The Things That Stop You DreamingCharacters: Vincent Tarantell, Lester "Firedancer" Aodhan
Warnings: Language, eventual sexual content with an age gap (both characters are past legal age, but I know this could bother some people), eventual drug use
Brief Summary: Tarantell, a dance instructor in the Slums, gets a new student after a strange phonecall with someone referring to himself as "Ringleader" and getting a hefty sum of money. Firedancer, the student in question, is apparently rusty on his skills and needs sharpening, but upon teaching him a bit, Tarantell notices no such thing. The two have early chemistry, but Tarantell knows better than to get involved with a student, especially one over ten years younger. Eventually Tarantell begins to uncover some strange things about Firedancer and his relationship with his boss Ringleader, as well as the traveling circus he's a part of, and Tarantell slowly begins to understand that he can't quite get a rein on his heart, around this boy.
