    Summary

    That night on the parapet, Valjean forces Javert to live. Some time later, Javert finds himself returning the favor. 

    "Do you think," Javert said slowly, in a tone that perhaps meant to mock but trembled with another emotion entirely, "that once you have saved a life, you must also save that man's soul?"

    "I know nothing of saving souls," Valjean said. "My soul was bought for God, not saved. But it is my belief that you are better than the fate to which you have consigned yourself."

    Summary

    In a private collection of Napoleonic memorabilia, strange magic has started to bring the exhibits to life. Marshal Lannes is very frustrated with his inability to swear or even speak, Marshal Murat is having the time of his unlife running from his regrets and Marshal Ney is furious that he is smaller than a wine bottle. Nobody knows where Napoleon is and everything is on fire. Inspired by the movie Night at the Museum.

    AU - Jack Sparrow did not escape the vengeance of the Maria Silenciosa, but neither was the Trident of Poseidon found...

    It is 1756. Bereaved young widow Theresa Maria de Barrós takes what she thinks is the prosaic step of joining her sister on Saint-Martin.
