Summary
"How are you feeling today, Mr Barnum? Any more... peculiar... urges?" he asked in fake kindness, a sharp grin etched onto his face.
"Let me out."
"You know I can't do that, Mr Barnum, not until we have cured you of your affliction."
"There's nothing wrong with me. Let me out."
"I can assure you, Mr Barnum, that we wouldn't keep you here without it being reasonable circumstances. It says on your papers that you are very clearly suffering from mental illness."
"Let me out."
"There is no need for that tone, do you want to spend time in our quiet room, or will you be quiet?"
"LET ME OUT!"
* * *
In a world in which Charity died before Helen and Caroline were born, Phineas spent several years trapped in an asylum for the mentally insane, courtesy of Charity's father. Ten years after finally escaping, he is a renowned showman, running the most famous circus on the East Coast.
What happens when Phineas' past finally comes back to haunt him, in the form of a doctor coming to the circus. Will Phineas admit his dark past to his friends, before history repeats itself?

Summary
It’s not as if this is the first time P.T.’s ever insisted on doing something monumentally stupid for the sake of livening up the circus before, but and it always ends the same way: P.T. scrapes by unscathed, the usual spring in his step and showman’s smile on his face, looking utterly invincible. And then—suddenly—he isn’t.

Summary
AU where Phillip is the one that was missing during the fire scene, and Barnum goes after him.
Hurt/Comfort and whump to ensue.
Rated T just to be on the safe side, but nothing too graphic in here.
