<blockquote>Cool was the breeze in the evening, along the darkened street. The city was retiring, closing shutters at every suite. But even in that stillness, you could hear the faintest sound, Of the music that was playing -      playing, swaying - The music faintly playing from the jazz band underground.</blockquote> ➤ The Highwayman rewritten in the prohibition era! In very good verse in the style of the original!

<blockquote>Tybalt hadn't asked Benvolio to drag him into the escape pod, to a planet with too much sky, with people he's pretty sure mostly hate him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Miss Wilhelmina Laurence never leaves Nottinghamshire, and certainly not in the winter of 1805. When the Reliant captures an exhausted Amitie on her way out of a storm, Miss Laurence is grimly preparing for a country ball. Usually a merry occasion even for a confirmed spinster, this particular event is soured by the presence of Bertram Woolvey, who is likely to make Miss Laurence’s particular friend and neighbor an offer and therefore deprive her of her most beloved company.  When the queer porcelain egg hatches, several weeks later, and the officers are gathered around with the reluctant sacrifice stepping forward nervously, the black dragonet ignores them all. It takes seven men to hold the creature down long enough to harness it, even though it is a newborn. The dragonet does not stay silent for long, protesting at its treatment quite vehemently in both English and French–but it pays no attention to any man in particular, and seems in fact to resent them all. The officers are relieved as well as unsettled. They do not name it, but make for Madeira with all speed. </blockquote>

<blockquote>The Young Avengers' band is also called The Young Avengers, because they're very subtle. They've written three songs together: "Destroy You," "Superpowered," and "Unnatural Love," which, given the percentage of people in the band with the same equipment fucking each other, you might think was about gay liberation, but actually chronicles the time Loki read them the juicy parts of Flowers in the Attic on a trip up the coast.</blockquote>

<blockquote>flytely asked: Eponine/Cosette & Pirate AU?</blockquote>

<blockquote>Cinaed: haha, jam asked for a merfolk/library Les Mis au Cinaed: maybe I should do one where Madeleine refuses to become mayor and becomes the town librarian instead (while running the factory), and Javert has to enlist his help because his squirrels are acting strangely and he’s gathered such a large collection of books </blockquote>

<blockquote>"Euphrasia ate like someone who never had enough food—Valyanos recognized it, with an inward shudder, from his time in the mines, before the arena and his wooden sword—methodically scooping soup into her mouth with the bread and cleaning the bowl with the crust until not a single chickpea remained, nibbling the apple down to the barest core." Valjean and Cosette in Roman Gaul, 38 B.C.E.</blockquote>

<blockquote>The hovercraft had never really been in tip-top shape; no matter how many times he’d sent it in to get fixed, it still sputtered, coughed up smoke, and trailed pollution through the Mars dome. So perhaps, Fauchelevant thought in a delirious haze, this was its revenge for all the times he’d kicked it and yelled at it and wished it was a newer model. Or perhaps, as the gallant Captain Madeleine shouldered his way through the wreckage and grasped Fauchelevent by the wrist and waist, this was its way of saying you deserve something better in your life. </blockquote> ➤ three-sentence fic so the bit I quoted is the entirety of it. DON'T I WISH THERE WERE MORE THOUGH

<blockquote>Tybalt and Mercutio play a game. For once, nobody gets hurt.</blockquote>

<blockquote>No one noticed the one man who left the city gates on foot, following a flock of starlings winging towards Mantua. A sequel of sorts to sail upon the bosom of the air: a few things that might have happened next.</blockquote>

<blockquote>For drcalvin: "do write us crackfic where Mercutio gives everyone in Verona sexually transmitted wings!" Less...cracky than originally intended. More of a fairytale fix-it. Where everyone in Verona has sexually transmitted wings.</blockquote>

<blockquote>The one where Javert gets a pug</blockquote> ➤or: the one with Carl un chien. WHY DID I NEVER READ THIS BEFORE

<blockquote>In an alternate universe where Valjean and Javert work together in the Sûreté, not so much as buddy cops but as cops who yell at each other a lot, a run-in with a gang of criminals leaves them in an awkward predicament.</blockquote> ➤ or as Carmarthen said on tumblr: <blockquote>AKA: Javert thinks kissing is gross and Valjean hides lockpicks up his butt: The Fic.</blockquote>

<blockquote>In the south of France, a group of young men once came together to teach, to learn, and to fight for the rights of all humankind.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Instead of latching onto Enjolras and Les Amis, Grantaire latches onto Montparnasse and Patron-Minette. Everything is different but oddly all the same.</blockquote>
