<blockquote>Magnon wants a better life. It does not come about the way she expects.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>Bahorel meets Fantine in 1816 and is conscious of two things: how much better it would be if Fantine was his mistress, and how much Tholomyès needs to be punched. Things change dramatically as a result.</blockquote> ➤ YES PLEASE. ➤ wip through part 2 as of last check

<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>

Prompt:<blockquote>Valjean is overwhelmed with gratitude to the bishop for his forgiveness, stays on as his gardener and accidentally develops feelings that fill both of them with terrible guilt</blockquote>

<blockquote>Fantine is watching Cosette in the playground when someone she seems to know approaches her...</blockquote>

<blockquote>On the way back from a less than satisfactory trip to the Hyacinthe Club, Bahorel is accosted by some thieves--and aided by a mysterious, and much more satisfactory, stranger.</blockquote> ➤ what a good

<blockquote>Fantine finds work at the dragon breeding grounds of Vernon, with the help of General Georges Pontmercy and his dragon Hyacinthe.</blockquote> ➤ wip through ch 3 at time of bookmarking

<blockquote>When she wakes early and notices that her father is gone, Cosette slips out alone in hopes of finding some sign of Marius.</blockquote> ➤ NO COME BACK THIS SHIP REALLY WORKS

<blockquote>Favourite is used to putting on a happy face, but as the years go on and new lovers show up and old friends come back, she starts to question that habit.</blockquote> ➤ aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh everything about this is perfect and beautiful and so SAD in that making-the-best-of-things sort of way char-wailschar- ➤ I am so glad this fic exists because YES.

<blockquote>When Fantine is introduced to another patient, a Monsieur Pontmercy, at the Hôpital de l'Hotel-Dieu, she does not know quite what to make of him. The feeling is mutual.</blockquote> ➤ !!!

<blockquote>"In the little cobblestoned passage of the Rue Mondétour, under the high awning of a house and a lantern-arm's iron lacework, for some time now a ghost had lived." Or: in which everyone is a ghost, and there are many snails, as well as a certain amount of spiritual progress.</blockquote>

<blockquote>sathinfection asked: Musichetta and Sophie as an old radical printing couple OH DID SOMEBODY SAY “TAKE MINOR/UNNAMED FEMALE CHARACTERS AND RUN AWAY WITH THEM FAR PAST ANY PROPORTION TO THEIR APPEARANCE IN THE NOVEL?”  Because damn right I’ll do that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Given that Prouvaire had died in a bloody revolt, Valjean very reasonably did not expect to see him again.</blockquote> ➤ from the author's tumblr: <blockquote>For vouksen, with hate and despair— who a few weeks ago wanted more Valjean/Prouvaire. I told her that the only way I could imagine it happening, for Valjean reasons, was after the barricade. Horrifyingly, this did not prove an insurmountable obstacle. So here is a sequel to Saints and Martyrs, which takes place post-barricade and features (this is your warning) old man porn of a Valjean/Prouvaire ghostsex variety. Please know that every conceivable logistical question you want to ask has already crossed my mind and there are no answers. The working title of this story is “Exit, Pursued by Prouvaire.”</blockquote> ➤ or: further adventures of the corpse flower.

Summary (from author's tumblr post): <blockquote>This is like 3000 words of Valjean/Prouvaire that is a little more troubled/troubling than what you originally asked for, though ultimately happy. It contains SEX and AN OLD MAN and AN OLD MAN HAVING SEX so there is that. Also a briefly graphic description of a dissection. Also a corpse flower (yes, again) even this is not really the same universe as the corpse flower story.</blockquote>

<blockquote>carmarthenfan asked: Prouvaire/Cosette, at the theatre? So this is a horrible prompt, because at what time would these two characters be alive and at the theater together??????!!!!!!!!!! <—- (THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU’VE DONE.) However, I have stretched some credibility and come up with an extremely silly and dashed-off scenario that more-or-less accounts for this. Please ignore questions that may spring to mind such as “Where did the tickets come from,” and “Why this play,” as they will only cause problems for you. Also this is probably equal-opportunity lightly implied Prouvaire/Cosette and Prouvaire/Bahorel.</blockquote> ➤ ao3 summary: <blockquote>In which the Fauchelevent family attends the theater, Bahorel breaks a lute over someone's head, Prouvaire does his impression of a dodo, and Romanticism wins a great and noisy triumph.</blockquote>

<blockquote>marius/montparnasse, bodyswap</blockquote> ➤ !!!!

<blockquote>Valjean/Favourite, first kiss over dessert</blockquote>

<blockquote>Fantine and Zéphine share one drunken, joyous evening; it changes nothing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>On her way home, Favourite buys a shawl - a pretty thing, fine, expensive silk too light for the coming winter but with a deep rich color that will draw becoming highlights into her hair and match the tint of her lips. Settled around her shoulders, it conceals last year's now-unfashionable neckline and lends weight to her confident, carefree air; a weight she needs to hide the fluttering lightness in her stomach.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Dahlia and Zéphine push the boundaries of knowledge together while they wait for their respective lovers.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Dahlia takes in a girl named Fantine not long after forgetting a girl named Fantine.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Corruption went both ways.</blockquote> ➤ In which Favourite fantasizes about Fantine

<blockquote>There was a certain tradition among the Parisian police to welcome newcomers to the force, one that was not spoken of in polite company. / “Immorality sanctified by tradition is still immorality.” ― Bernard E. Rollin</blockquote> ➤ sex initiation

<blockquote>Montparnasse attends the 1838 premiere of Hector Berlioz's Benvenuto Cellini, at which two things happen: a riot breaks out and he encounters an old friend. These are not entirely disconnected occurences.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Written for the anon for the Tumblr meme "tell me about a story I haven't written" who prompted "Remember the one where Cosette goes to visit her father and meets his boyfriend Montparnasse?"</blockquote>

<blockquote>Courfeyrac entertains his curiosity; Javert is charmed in spite of himself.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Written for a prompt on the Les Mis kink meme: "Grown-up Gavroche/Montparnasse. Consensual and canon-era, please, and would appreciate bookverse Gav's massive confidence and basic assumption that he's equal to everyone. Knifeplay a bonus."</blockquote>

<blockquote>When Bahorel wakes up on Wednesday morning, the sun is shining brighter than it has for months, and he can hear birds chirping away like something out of a Disney movie. Then his mom calls up, “Bahorel, get ready for school!” and he thinks: Well, fuck that. It’s a beautiful day, and life is too short to spend it in school learning about economics and dead people. [Ferris Bueller's Day Off AU]</blockquote> ➤ OH NO HOW IS THIS SO PERFECT

<blockquote>Grantaire and Eponine get drunk and have sex while roleplaying as Marius and Enjolras, respectively.</blockquote> ➤ damn, how to tag pairings when the sex is one thing but the feelings are other things entirely?
