    Summary

    At every other moment, the concern that Monsieur Madeleine showed to Inspector Javert was equal to the concern he showed every other man, woman, and child of the town. A respectful nod to acknowledge the inspector’s presence (to hide the fear that Jean Valjean was certain he couldn’t completely mask fast enough). A smile to avoid having to speak (to avoid the risk of slipping back into the rough speech that he’d used for twenty years and that Javert would recognize in a heartbeat). Apparent ignorance of the other man’s steel gaze that locked onto him every time that he crossed the inspector’s line of sight (if he acknowledged it at all, he was equally likely to bolt or to freeze, and neither would spare him in the end).

    But in this moment, the inspector’s eyes were raised to the sky, a serenity apparent in his whole being that none in Montreuil-sur-Mer (and certainly no prisoner in Toulon) had seen yet.

    My contribution to the Sewerchat Anniversary Exchange 2023. The request was for Javert & Valjean fluff, but these two emotionally-challenged idiots refused to jump straight to that without dramatics first. But I think I wrangled them into cooperating with sweetness at least.

    Summary

    The poem's Scots title "Auld Lang Syne" may be translated into standard English as "old long since" or, less literally, "long long ago," "days gone by," or "old times." Consequently, "For auld lang syne," as it appears in the first line of the chorus, might be loosely translated as "for the sake of old times."

    .

    He had thought Tseng had forgotten—he himself nearly had—he couldn't have been more than eight when he'd slipped up amidst his complaints about his father's treatment of the holidays and admitted to Tseng that none of them really were anything special anyways because of how many inane parties the president hosted that he had to attend. In response, Tseng had started quietly celebrating the holidays with him the day prior to everyone else, so the boy could actually enjoy them. He'd even—very carefully—begun sharing Wutain traditions with Rufus as well: never any Wutai-specific holidays, but etiquette around certain meals and the like. That had gone on for a couple of years, before Rufus had determined that it was silly and childish and pointless. Professional that he was, Tseng hadn't spoken of it since.

    Apparently, not even to the other Turks.
