“ ow- fuck- be fucking careful. “ 

her eye closes against the sting of alcohol to her brow, blood smearing away with the not quite gentle swipe of a towel held in clawed fingers. 

she’s not really sure why he’s even helping her. 

maybe, she thinks, it’s pity for whatever’s coming next. after all, there’s no way gustav and the others will let her stay after this. 

if he was smart he’d get as far from her as possible. 

if she was smart she’d run before they even have a chance to chase her out...

“ bet somebody’s gonna be pissed about the booze you’re wasting. “

circus AU!

beau is an acrobat for the circus. they’re all surprised by how graceful she is, given how gruff her personality is otherwise. it becomes a sort of running joke amongst them all

her act is actually pretty intense and draws ppl in; she feels strongly she needs to pull her weight and give back for them putting up with her and she honestly likes the danger. there’s a lot of fire involved……

she still flirts with yasha. a lot. and awkwardly. nothing ever comes of it and she mostly just hooks up with various women in towns they pass through 

she runs from the monks much earlier here, only staying with them for a couple of years- long enough to gain some training but much shorter than in normal verse 

beau’s determined to keep up her asshole persona, but the facade falls apart when she defends molly against a bunch of racist assholes. she’s convinced it’s the last straw to getting her thrown out, but it’s the catalyst that endears her to the circus and has them actually trust her. after that she can’t help but start to get close to some of them
