Why This Must Be Read: This is an unusual Earth-based AU where John and Evan and other familiar characters are all part of a traveling carnival. John's on display as the "bug boy". He can't speak but he communicates pretty well in other ways. The story's got a real Ray Bradbury feel to it and the relationship between Evan and John is sweet and hot. Interesting and haunting.
Evan, with his easy looks and perfect smile, had been hard for him to figure out at first. He’d never seen him lose his temper, never seen him complain. He never got into fights with the other guys, never fooled around with the women, didn’t gamble, barely drank at all, and went to bed early most nights. John just thought of him as a freak among freaks, a normal down on his luck, keeping his nose clean and taking work where he could get it.
Until the first time, when Evan had asked to sketch him for one of the carnival’s posters. Evan’s hand had been swift across his paper, and then slow over John’s mouth, asking if he could kiss him. Telling him he was beautiful. He’d thought Evan had been pulling his leg, then, making him into a joke. Until he’d seen the desperation in his face. Until he’d felt his tongue slick across his own, and the cool trail of spit he’d left across the shiny blue-black scales of his collarbones, and he’d realized Evan was just as much of an outsider as he was. He just kept it all inside where no one could see – not until he let them.
Tonight, he stands naked at the foot of Evan’s bed and lets Evan’s gaze travel over his body. Different than the looks the others give him, the ones who pay a nickel to see him. For Evan, he isn’t a monster. For Evan, he is exotic, he’s beautiful. He’s human.
