    Summary

    Grantaire finds Enjolras in a bohemian cabaret, getting drunk with a famous painter.

    "Grantaire used to come to Le Rat Mort a lot more often, back before he found Café Musain and, mostly, Enjolras. It's rowdier here, and there's plenty to eat and drink while watching the entertainers or contemplating the elegant fresco of the dead rat. The clientele comprises artists and romantics, poets and performers, courtesans and sexual deviants like Grantaire or the crowd of lesbians who frequently hold court in the evenings. It is absolutely not the kind of place he would ever expect to see Enjolras. So, when Enjolras strolls up with a champagne cocktail in one hand and a big smile on his face, Grantaire's brain simply clicks to a stop."

    Summary

    To Merlin, there were two types of cops.

    There were those who went into law enforcement as they were drawn to the promise of power, and then there were those who went into law enforcement as something, at some point, had gone terribly wrong in their lives.

    And for the longest time, Merlin thought one Constable Pendragon fit snugly into the former.
