<blockquote>When Champmathieu is convicted and returned to Toulon, Madeleine remains the mayor of Montreuil-sur-mer. Javert must face the fact that Madeleine is not Jean Valjean, a thief and convict—he is just a man, and no worse than any man. COMPLETE.</blockquote>
➤ I really enjoyed this fic, up till the last line. Which I guess is a bone I should pick with the musical, not this fic, but....! It MAKES NO SENSE that Champmathieu would be mistaken for Valjean if it's known that Valjean has a Very Specific Number branded on his chest, because Champmathieu WOULDN'T HAVE THAT SPECIFIC BRAND. Sigh.
