<blockquote>Cosette, an aspiring musician, is certain she's locked into her terrible recording contract forever and the public will never get to hear her music. Then a mysterious DJ named Enjolras remixes one of her original demos. She follows his digital trail to a club called the ABC, where she's offered the chance to join the music revolution. What ensues includes romance, past lives revealed, the making of an album, and a protest concert.</blockquote> ➤ inspired by the DJenjolras twitter originally

<blockquote>Men who want to dress as women and women who want to dress as men know the person to ask is a seamstress called Musichetta. This unusual trade brings Musichetta in contact with Manon Lesgle and Anne Joly, two young women who wish to live as gentlemen in order to pursue their educations. But it's 1823: the King is dying, France is changing, and there is more to learn about the world and about themselves than either expected. Gender-swapped Joly and Lesgle AU. Written for the Les Mis Big Bang 2016.</blockquote> ➤ canon-era crossdressing lesbian poly! WHAT A GOOD.

<blockquote>So here is 2,000 words unpacking this old Tumblr post about e/R soulmark AUs, which still gets reblogged now and again ,and gets the best angry retags. Will there be more of this story ever? IDK does the world really need lots of depressed, cynical rambling about the classist/racist/colonialist assumptions that underlie “words on the wrist” scenarios and then everybody dies?</blockquote> ➤ aww yeah my kind of soulmate/soulmark fic ➤ also on ao3 at http://archiveofourown.org/works/3394883 where it is titled "J'ai fort lu Platon, mais rien ne m'en reste"

<blockquote>Death paused.  Death really didn’t have time to pause because there was so much work to do: but Death had discovered long ago that it could make its own time.  Souls didn’t particularly suffer if it was slow to collect them.  But sometimes they wandered off and then there were ghosts and it hated to chase down ghosts if they were happy and weren’t causing any problems— Anyway.  Death paused.  This particular soul was curled up like a cat while it waited, and blinked and stretched and demurred when Death caught up to it.  “But I’m waiting for my friend.”</blockquote>

<blockquote>a daddy!Comebferre AU based on this drawing by SimplyIrenic. Since the barricades are, as tenlittlebullets once described it, Victor Hugo’s what-if-1832-was-1848 AU, we’re going to go with that. GUESS WHAT LOUIS-PHILIPPE YOUR REIGN ENDED AFTER ONLY TWO YEARS I’m sure this comes as a surprise to many 19th century historians.

<blockquote>November, 1943: Three years after the Germans marched into Paris, Grantaire is surviving the Occupation by drinking black market alcohol and trying to stay out of trouble, but his life is turned upside-down when he becomes entangled with a group of young Resistance members, including a laughing girl who jumps out of windows and a man whose blazing eyes convince him to do things he might not live to regret.</blockquote> ➤ wip through chapter 2 as of bookmarking

<blockquote>Bahorel: a day in the life.</blockquote>

<blockquote>I kept trying to make this a scenario where they just woke up in each other’s body, mostly because I was highly entertained by the mental image of Bahorel’s Laughing Mistress sleepily going, “Hey, what’s the ma— you’re looking awkward and avoiding looking at my body and you’re actually blushing, WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH BAHOREL.” And thus simplifying explanations considerably, by being not so much genre-savvy as boyfriend-savvy! Sadly, that’s as far as I could manage to figure out in this scenario. [...] So I think what I’m going with is that Combeferre acquired a Mysterious Scientific Device from somewhere – let’s say a pawnshop or a seller of ill-assorted sundries.</p>
