ooh any chance of a cross over then?
I was hoping they existed in the same world! Love that so much ♥
I just finished Starless Sea (yeah, I am a slow reader) and wondered if they were in a shared universe. Have inhabitants of the harbor gone to the circus? Is the Night Circus stories among those in the Harbor? Was there a door that traveled in the circus? The magical systems are compatible, maybe hector bowen did some freelance work, or maybe the Harbor was a sort of magicians challenge or playground... (from thoughts in between reading sessions)
I like your thoughts, Jonathan! I just took it as Erin's universe of her own imagination, rather than ways that Pixar hints at all their movies happening in the same universe. However, your own crossovers are fun to imagine.
Love that Zachary comes across a book about two magicians in England!
Oh! It is not Zachary but Simon: "He wonders how long is an appropriate time to wait for a girl who may or may not have been a dream. Wonders if he could have dreamed a girl in a real place or if the place is a dream and then his head hurts so he thinks perhaps he should find something to read instead of continuing to think. He regrets leaving Sweet Sorrows in the cottage. He looks through the books on their shelves. Many are unfamiliar and strange. A heavy volume with footnotes and a raven on its cover pulls his attention more than the others, and he finds himself so drawn into its tale of two magicians in England that he loses track of time. Then the door with the feather opens, and she is here."

That it is a "heavy volume with footnotes" suggests it may be Jonathon Strange and Mr. Norrell (rather than the Night Circus)! even with the Raven Huginn.
I was thinking the museum that Lefevre has the blueprints for becomes the Starless Sea but I don’t think that works out timewise
I know you are not reading this anymore, but just in case you do, in the future; were you inspired by Laurie Anderson's "The Chalkroom" VR work, or was she inspired by you? It was so evocative of the Harbor on the Starless Sea, I am hoping you at least got to experience it before it was discontinued.
Bonus if the bees bring two cupcakes. I love these worlds you have created. Thank you for sharing them with us.
