(based mostly on the 2019 BBC miniseries book tie-in cover)</blockquote>

<blockquote>The story of Fantine's bird.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Théodule's evening of fun turns out to be more complicated than expected.</blockquote> ➤ an unusual ship, plausibly and entertainingly done

<blockquote>“okay,” i say to myself like an evil person. “what if like, Fantine was happy, but there was still angst.” and thus this was born, don’t look at me please. </blockquote>

<blockquote>Marguerite draws Fantine out of her apartment for a day.</blockquote> ➤ oh noooo it's sad BECAUSE it's so briefly lovely and happy but the reader knows what's coming :( but also I'm just so delighted there's actually fic about Marguerite

<blockquote>A high-pitched shriek pulled Feuilly from his sleep.</blockquote> ➤ from the prompt: "Hot, steamy action very late at night, and loud enough to wake other people" and wilfully misinterpreted

<blockquote>Canon feats Sister Simplice fixing things she can, and Fantine being alive.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Valjean/Favourite IN ENGLAND</blockquote>

<blockquote>This was the moment of his triumph. As sweet as these sinful pastries might taste, Javert was not here to indulge sordid desires. He was the law. And the law said that Unlicensed Living Pastry Prostitution was an illegal act, and to be strictly punished. A fusion with Chuck Tingle's "Glazed By The Gay Living Donuts".</blockquote> ➤ It was only a matter of time before fandom wrote fic of Chuck Tingle's oeuvre!

<blockquote>“What is it this time?” Bahorel asked, laughing, from his precarious perch on the back of a chair near Enjolras. “Lose your hat again? Finally find an Evening pair who want a threesome?” Courfeyrac did not dignify this with a response. Instead he stuck his nose in the air and said, “If you must know, the Baron Pontmercy has finally proposed marriage.”</blockquote>

<blockquote>Fauchelevent chats with Cosette and Valjean.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Anonymous asked: Hi! For the 5 times meme. Les Mis prison au...? (Prooobably not quite what you meant. This is the tale of how Bahorel assembles the Amis.)</blockquote> ➤ modern au where Bahorel keeps ending up in prison briefly and makes friends

<blockquote>So Courfeyrac talked to Grantaire and Grantaire hooked him up with a man who loaned him about a dozen air guns modified to fire beeswax marking rounds, and some quilted canvas protective smocks, and then Courfeyrac cajoled all his friends into spending a week at one of his father's estates playing war games, which Courfeyrac still maintains was one of his better ideas.</blockquote> ➤ or: the Amis play paintball

<blockquote>For Majorly Minor Characters week: all the questions you (never) asked about Brevet’s suspender(s), answered! “Throughout this hideous meditation, the thoughts which we have above indicated moved incessantly through his brain; entered, withdrew, re-entered, and in a manner oppressed him; and then he thought, also, without knowing why, and with the mechanical persistence of revery, of a convict named Brevet, whom he had known in the galleys, and whose trousers had been upheld by a single suspender of knitted cotton. The checkered pattern of that suspender recurred incessantly to his mind.”</blockquote>

<blockquote>For Majorly Minor Character Week. The prosecutor from Arras, looking for witnesses to identify Jean Valjean, sends a letter to Commissaire Reynaud at Toulon.</blockquote>

<blockquote>The consensus amongst the students and roués of Paris is that Irma is somebody’s mistress, just no one knows whose. The other grisettes don’t know, or perhaps they just won’t say (this is an enduring mystery, what grisettes do and do not tell one another). It seems entirely possible it is someone very rich or very famous, whose reputation could not stand the public knowledge of a mistress– perhaps a priest. “What kind of woman would sleep with a priest?” Irma asks scornfully.  “All those old Italian popes had children, someone must have helped make them,” Musichetta (who has no reason to revere priests in particular) says.  “Well, it wasn’t me,” Irma replies. </blockquote>

<blockquote>Cosette lives in an asteroid with her Papa. The whole asteroid is theirs. She remembers, vaguely, when they first came there, that they were just living in one little dark cave with a rickety atmosphere plant, but every year they do something to make it better, and now she has gardens, and a domed balcony where she can see the sun, and a library, and oh! so much. They're mostly self-sufficient but every so often her papa has to take their little rock-hopper and go get the supplies they can't make themselves from Mars, and she's by herself for weeks.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Cosette/Eponine, dragon AU</blockquote> ➤ in which Cosette is a human and Eponine a dragon

<blockquote>Over the years, Madeleine has become not only the mayor but also a self-styled librarian. Then one evening Javert comes to him for assistance in locating a particular book.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Joly is mystified by Combeferre's timetable. How does a fellow medical student have time to study everything Combeferre does?</blockquote>

<blockquote>It is good for a man to find his basheret. How long may he search for her?</blockquote> ➤ or: the Jewish soulmate au, omg, this is amazing

<blockquote>How can a being composed of calculations be so guileless? Favourite wonders. Fantine is a robot. Favourite isn't.</blockquote> ➤ omg I wish I could read a million words of this
