Summary
Instead of committing suicide, Javert goes on a three-day bender. When Valjean finds him, Javert assumes he's a hallucination. Things proceed awkwardly from there.
--
“Where are you going?” the hallucination asked, which was foolish. Surely his brain knew what Javert planned.
“To the nearest--” Javert paused, looked at the recently vacated wine-ship, and amended what he had been about to say. “To the next wine-shop. Obviously I am not drunk enough if you are here.”
The apparition got to its feet with a wince, as though his mind had ridiculously conjured aches and pains with which to torment Valjean’s specter. “Javert, your words make no sense,” it said, and Javert laughed again.
“I am making perfect sense.” He touched his pocket where he kept his money, frowned. “I hope you are only a drink or two from going away. I do not know how much more beer I can afford.”

Summary
“Perhaps, after tonight, the law no longer drives me as it has all my life. And if the law does not drive me, I do not know what will.”
“I know you, Javert. You may not like it, but I know you. I know the sense of purpose you speak of. That kind of drive doesn’t just go away. I believe that kind of passion conveys more about the person who feels it, rather than the cause of the passion. Even if it wanes with time, even if it is a source other than the law that moves you, you will find that drive again. You will find something to direct it to.”
--
Months after Valjean pulls Javert from the Pont au Change, they both find themselves without purpose. Valjean becomes hopeless without Cosette to care for. Meanwhile, Javert's growing doubt about his place in the police force leaves him aimless. But Javert and Valjean's lives have always been irreversibly intertwined. 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
When it turns out all Cosette really wants as a wedding gift is for her lonely empty-nester, perpetually single father to actually bring a date, Valjean is caught completely off-guard. He knows he's too old and inexperienced to bother with romance, but he can't disappoint Cosette. Now if only he could get someone to pretend to date him—just for one day—all would be well...

Summary
The soup was simmering on the stove. Javert had tossed out the bread that had been sitting in the back of the cabinet for weeks and replaced them with fresh ones. He wondered—briefly—if Valjean would stir if he reached out to swap out the burned-out candles sitting on those silver candlesticks of his; after all the man had always been awfully protective of those candlesticks.

The five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. Perhaps the one flaw of Javert was that he never quite learned how to accept defeat.Bookmarked by LostScript

Summary
Shaken after learning he has wrongfully suspected the mayor, Javert rushes to the mairie to request his dismissal—but Madeleine isn't there. When the mayor returns two days later, it's with Cosette in tow, and Javert struggles to find an opportunity to speak with him.
Meanwhile, as Fantine recovers from her illness, Javert becomes convinced that Madeleine has fallen in love with her. If the mayor were to act on these feelings, it would be disastrous for his reputation. Javert is determined to save Madeleine from himself.
What he hasn't considered is that he may be wrong about who holds the mayor's heart—not to mention his own.
