<blockquote>He's sitting in a car with all of his belongings in the back seat and his hands wrapped around the steering wheel, admitting to himself that a stupid, dizzy firework of a one-night-stand with a man he'd barely known is one of the only bright memories he has right now. [In which Enjolras and Grantaire make some music, make some terrible decisions, and make a habit out of doing everything in the wrong order.]</blockquote> ➤ the grantaire-pov remix of The People Sing by littledust

<blockquote>Rav Enjolras said in the name of Lamarque: "They will come one and all, they will come when we call." Had it only been "they will come", one might think it means that they will come when it pleases them. But "one and all" means they will all come. Is it possible that all can agree on a proper time? No, therefore, "they will come when we call." Is it possible for one man to force the participation of all? There is not a power on Earth to achieve this! But there is in Heaven. Therefore, "they will come one and all, they will come when we call" means there is a requirement for everyone to build a barricade.</blockquote>

<blockquote>"I can want to spend my life serving someone and not want to have sex with them," Grantaire says. "I am capable of that. My submission is capable of that."</blockquote>

<blockquote>Grantaire's life has a pattern: he pays his respects to Aphrodite, he goes to work, he loves Enjolras and provokes him because he can't bring himself to do otherwise. That seems unlikely to change, at least until Enjolras speaks out against the gods and ends up cursed. Grantaire does his best to help him, but it turns out it's just as hard to love Enjolras up close as it is from afar.</blockquote> ➤ I found the worldbuilding stuff interesting for this one.

<blockquote>You think you know someone, and then you discover what they have hidden in their bedrooms.</blockquote> ➤ nonsexual kink, people being friends with their friends, lovely and not a stressful fic at all

<blockquote>The problem is, Enjolras had promised Combeferre two months ago that he would deal with the curtains.</blockquote> ➤ part of the permets-tu series but bookmarking separately because I'm weirdly into this particular instalment? idek why. ➤ (hhhhhahahaha probably because it's endless negotiating about CURTAINS instead of sex like the rest of the series, oh I am so predictable)

<blockquote>"Would you like to have sex with me?"</blockquote>

<blockquote>During a meeting Joly accidentally lets it slip to Enjolras that Grantaire is in love with him. Told entirely through text messages.</blockquote>

<blockquote>“Come on, come on.” Courfeyrac is leading the way. “Retweet them a few times, give some hugs, and you're a golden god. Then we get to party til dawn. Beauties on the bus.”</blockquote>

<blockquote>When Marius's girlfriend Cosette writes an article about Enjolras's campaign for a seat in the state House of Representatives (not to mention his attempts to start a new political party) and mistakenly mentions Grantaire as his boyfriend, Enjolras ends up pretending to date him in the media storm that follows. He's not sure why Grantaire says yes, but he's starting to want to find out.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Grantaire would recoil before the very thought of undermining any of Enjolras' principles. Except when he discovers that sleeping with a 25-year-old virgin means debunking certain over-hasty assumptions—in which case Grantaire is happy to deliver a very thorough undermining indeed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>...so I would not be a master. Enjolras the reluctant sadist, meet Grantaire the all-too-willing masochist.</blockquote>

<blockquote>"Grantaire," he says slowly. "What do you have in that box?" Grantaire looks up at Enjolras, his eyes very blue even with the glaze of drunkenness at the edges. "A favor," he says.</blockquote>

<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?

author's summary from tumblr: <blockquote>I wrote a Les Mis fic! It’s sad unrequited E/R, because that’s what this fandom was missing. Also there’s sex in it, sort of.</blockquote>

<blockquote>In which Enjolras needs Grantaire's help, and Grantaire is unwillingly sober. Set at the end of the July Revolution of 1830.</blockquote> ➤ (the e/r is unrequited)

<blockquote>An exploration of a fairly cliché setup for Enjolras x Grantaire slash, and what the repercussions might be.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Grantaire wakes up in Enjolras' bed and annoys him with rambling philosophy and cynicism.</blockquote>
