    Summary

    Courfeyrac dares Grantaire to take off his shirt, which leaves Enjolras more flustered than he likes.
    Did Grantaire always have this many tattoos?
    And are the tattoos the reason for the fluttering in Enjolras' stomach? Or is it Grantaire?

    Summary

    “Valjean?”

    “Yes?”

    “What happens now?” he asks. If he were not so weak and exhausted, he would not have been this vulnerable. But the question of what comes next is calling him to find a window to jump from, which would surely make all of Valjean’s efforts to save him go to waste.

    Valjean seems to understand.

    “You’re alive. That is a good place to start.”

    --

    Javert and Valjean's lives have always been irreversibly intertwined. After the Seine, the universe keeps pulling them back together. As they learn what it means to change and be changed, they may find that their lives are meant to intertwine in a way neither of them ever expected.

    In case anyone needed another post-Seine Valvert slow burn ;)

    Summary

    It started last Tuesday, Enjolras thinks. At least, that’s when he noticed. Or, more explicitly, that was the first time Grantaire had told him “no.”

    Grantaire discovers self-restraint. Enjolras is not sure how to handle that.

    Summary

    By some stroke of fortune, Éponine survives the barricades. Bearing the physical and psychological scars, she has to decide what to make of her newfound chance at life, as the messenger "boy" of a mysterious employer in Le Havre. Over time, she finds that there is, indeed, life after the barricade – and that she is not the only one granted it.

    This story is an exploration of a what-if universe, focusing on identity, meaning in life, personal growth, forgiveness, and moving forward even when it seems that there is no forward to go.

    Summary

    Prouvaire's gaze met Combeferre's, accompanied by a gentle smile. “If it is not a night of rest that I have interrupted, would you mind terribly accompanying me to the cemetery at Montparnasse? I have heard the most fascinating tales of a ghost haunting its grounds these past weeks. Better yet, tonight is to be moonless, and its deepest dark shall be perfectly suited for calling forth a spirit from the life beyond.”
    ----------------------
    In which Prouvaire makes a surprise visit, a cemetery is broken into, a ghost is (not) summoned, and stars are gazed upon.

    Summary

    Javert awakes in an odd room, convinced he has passed. However, the soft clothes on his back, the comfortable weight of the blanket upon him, and the blinding gold of the light before him tells him otherwise.

    "He realized quickly he was neatly tucked in a bed, wearing a soft foreign white blouse, and his hair neatly brushed and tied. What sick mind had done this to him? He was undeserving of anything less than a cruel death, so why was he being granted a peaceful awakening?"

    A prequel to 'The Girl from the Barricade', another WIP of mine because I'm a disaster.

    Summary

    Being an explanation of how Champmathieu was freed from the prison of Toulon and became the gardener of a Parisian convent—though the author, alas, can account only for how the parties responsible for his abduction (fortuitous to himself) became co-conspirators, and not the details of their crime.

    Summary

    In late November 1828, Marius Pontmercy is still getting to know Courfeyrac, Bossuet, and the rest of Les Amis de l’ABC. Marius has met everyone except Joly, who’s been stuck with his ophthalmologist cousin in Switzerland for nearly three months at the behest of his ambitious parents. When a very homesick Joly makes plans to come home early, Marius gets roped into a plot to surprise Bossuet. He later witnesses their reunion in the back room of the Café Musain, then overhears what sounds like a discussion of polyamory… and that’s saying nothing of the way he’s just seen Grantaire looking at Enjolras…

    For this clueless git rather naive and hitherto conservative young bourgeois, spending time with the Amis is starting to raise questions that feel more than a little awkward at first. Yet Marius is also touched by the bonds — platonic or otherwise — that clearly hold these friends together as much as their shared cause.

    In this group, it seems, nothing is sacred, and anything might be permissible. Has the time come for Marius to reassess some of his prejudices?

    Summary

    The dog was born to serve. trained to chase shadows, taught the leash was love. He lived by carved rules: right is right, wrong is wrong. Simple. Safe.

    Then came the wolf. The wolf didn’t heel, didn’t beg. He ran, teeth bared, heart burning. Not wild, but free. And that freedom? It made the dog growl.

    So the dog chased the wolf through wind and snow, barking law with every step, trying to catch what he couldn’t understand. Not out of hate, but because if the wolf was right, then everything the dog believed would crumble.

    And in the end? The wolf kept running.

    And the dog? when the trail broke, and the truth bit back, lay down in the river. Not defeated. Just, lost.

    But stories don’t end there. The wolf didn’t vanish into the trees, grinning. He stood at the river’s edge, silent.

    Something passed between them: something claw and fang couldn’t touch. The dog had hunted the wolf, Now the wolf carries that weight. Because when you’ve been chased long enough, the silence still echoes. So the wolf began to run, not to flee, but towards.

    Maybe the wild one became the seeker. Maybe the one who ran… now follows.

    Summary

    “His boots carried him, for some reason, to the address Valjean had given him on rue Plumet... to the house where, surely, the girl waited — the one called Cosette, Fantine’s daughter — the girl he had once tried to stop Valjean from rescuing at the inn in Montfermeil. Why he allowed his feet to compel him thus, Javert did not know. Both life and the law were finished with Jean Valjean, and Javert’s mind felt filled with flies, but something else, something darker and more wretched, stirred beneath the chest of his uniform greatcoat. It was a voice, a memory, a scream, and he could not silence it.”

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Javert realises, with sickening clarity, what the sudden absence of Valjean and Marius means for a girl like Cosette in a city like Paris and how his own hand in it all condemns him. So he stays the night (as a police inspector, to ensure her safety).
    But in a shameless city with no conscience for handling broken men and fatherless girls, that decision may unravel everything Javert ever believed.

    Javert/Cosette novel-length WIP.

    Summary

    After an argument, Enjolras and Grantaire wake up to find that they have switched bodies.

    “So you wanna play Freaky Friday with me?”
    “No, I don’t want to *play* Freaky Friday, but this is the only theory we have. We might as well try it.”
    “So we don’t tell the others and live as each other for the day?”
    “Yes.”
    “Just in case we are following TV show logic and have to walk a mile in each other’s shoes?”
    “It’s all we have to go off of.”
    “Alright, Apollo. Let’s play Freaky Friday.”
