Summary
Modern Day Zombie Apocalypse AU.
Grantaire is managing by himself when he accidentally joins a group of students striving for mutual survival. There is angst, art, requited and unrequited love. Also a lot of zombies.
The title comes not from Javert's song 'Stars' in the musical, but from the Wilfred Owen poem 'But I was Looking At The Permanent Stars'. A longer explanation of why is available if anyone cares to hear it.

'I didn't hear it,' snapped Enjolras. 'That doesn't mean I'm incapable - '
'Well, I'm sorry you're deaf,' Grantaire began, and in the same breath Enjolras responded, 'Good, because I am.'
A sudden silence fell. Grantaire wondered how he had survived this long with such inept social skills, and whether jumping from a fifth floor window would kill him or just break both his legs.

'There were too many. I couldn't stop them,' Gavroche, having seen his world torn into shreds around him.Gavroche. Éponine's head snapped up and she jerked away from Combeferre's embrace. Her brother was standing next to Courfeyrac. For once, his cocky demeanor was nowhere to be seen: Gavroche was wide-eyed and shaking like a leaf. A smear of red decorated his face from his cheek to his hairline and he looked exhausted, but he was upright and alive.
-
With the resigned air of one who lost all dignity long ago, Bossuet picked himself up off the floor. 'Grantaire,' he said. 'And Marius, and this hot girl - I don't know her name.''You have a boyfriend,' said Combeferre drily.
-
For a guy who failed to notice how Courfeyrac hung on his every word, he was good at deciphering romantic scenarios.'Ah,' he said. 'Are you all right?'
She shook her head.
-
Everybody complied at his or her own pace, one after another like the world's worse Mexican wave. Last to decide were the girls. Cosette was waiting for Éponine, and Éponine was chewing her lip and contemplating her brother. Gavroche was going all-out on the puppy eyes, which couldn't have helped the situation.
-
'All right,' she said slowly, lifting her hand skywards. 'I'm in.'Gavroche let out a hiss of satisfaction, and Cosette's hand quickly followed suit.

Bookmarker's Notes
“No,” Theo said. He turned a little in his chair and rested his temple against the opposite palm. He was such a tired person, Boris had always thought. Most of his energy was caught up in some violent internal grief and everything else he could manage as a living human on earth was a little stunted. “You never have done that without some other reason.”

It all starts with Kitsey because she's a woman and you are better off like that. It all ends with Astrid because the end justifies the means.

Bookmarker's Notes
"Reckon they have many salesmen jobs in this town?" Theo wonders again about Boris' future employment.
Boris shrugs. "There's nothing tying me here, anymore. I can go wherever. Other continents, even!" Theo stops walking abruptly, and stares at Boris hard. He sounds nonchalant and he is not looking at Theo, but Theo knows better now than to believe his flippancy. He feels his heart pounding.
