Author's Summary: The day Rose Tyler joined the traveling circus with the big blue tent, she was first greeted by an elephant.

Review:
This idea of Ten as a circus ringmaster is, really, so brilliant that I can’t believe I’ve never seen it before. In any case, this fic is absolutely fantastic from beginning to end.

One thing that I particularly enjoyed was that the author takes a lot of care to really make the circus a living part of the fic; Donna, Jack, Martha, Mickey, Ten, and Rose, really create a family of active and talented circus performers that live, eat, and travel together. This really adds an extra dimension of awesome to an already-established crew, and the chemistry between all of them is extremely well done.
