#and Courferre

[sharkemojis]

tumblr posts about les amis is either "insanely detailed three paragraph essay about homoerotic symbolism in and amongst victor hugos ridiculously unnecessary rambling about how beautiful enjolras is" or "combeferre sits with his legs crossed like a lady send post"

[drunken-devotion]

this is really courferre coded to me

[aca-ttacka]

combeferre says things like "when i was your age" to friends his own age and frequently laments that he is "too old for this" (in his 20s.) combeferre likes to sit down in HIS chair with a cup of tea and a big sigh at the end of the day. i think courf also calls him old man

✨random les amis headcanons✨

enj’s favourite breakfast is cereal, but specifically those honey rings that taste really bland

at some point jehan was dog sitting for a friend who had a golden retriever and proceeded to call the dog enjolras for the whole week (and send videos to their group chat)

combeferre is the only person who has ever managed to seduce someone with a conspiracy theory. it involved quantum physics and johann sebastian bach.

on the subject of classical composers, joly knows every single note of chopin’s polonnaises and he even head bangs sometimes

bossuet wears sunglasses on top of his head year round

courf bikes everywhere (sweetheart)

marius and cosette religiously watch gossip girl (everyone thinks it’s because cosette likes it but it’s actually the other way round). once enjolras joined them and ended up leaving the apartment mumbling something about eating the rich

feuilly talks to his plants (he refers to his gardenias as “my ladies”, much to everyone’s annoyance)

eponine is the worst baker, but she makes the absolute BEST waffles, to the point everyone’s sick of them (they’re not)

bahorel has crushed more than three weddings (and only been kicked out once)

musichetta’s favourite song is, unironically, take on me by a-ha

grantaire only drinks coffee from a “world’s best grandma” mug (it was a gift from courf)

BARRICADE DAY 2024

 Citizens, in the future there will be neither darkness nor thunderbolts; neither ferocious ignorance, nor bloody retaliation. As there will be no more Satan, there will be no more Michael. In the future no one will kill any one else, the earth will beam with radiance, the human race will love. The day will come, citizens, when all will be concord, harmony, light, joy and life; it will come, and it is in order that it may come that we are about to die.”

- Les Miserables, “Saint-Denis”, Book XII, chapter VIII.

You know I have to quote that, it's perhaps my most favourite quote ever from Enjolras.

Well, in honour and spirit of Barricade Day 2024, I hope that I might be able to direct your attention and perhaps a bit of resources to help me raise fund for these 3 Palestinian families that I've been helping with in fundraising.

Even if you're able to donate the least of one cup of coffee then pass the torch, reblog to another, that'd be grand. Helps are greatly appreciated!

Here are the links to their GFMs:

So I’d been meaning to redraw some of my old Les Mis art for a while now, just to see how much I’d improved, and I thought I’d start off strong by redrawing this silly Courferre tiktok i made just over a year ago (I cant add the original so I’ll just link it here)… wow… It’s crazy to see how much my art style has changed in just a year! I think this one’s way better, but dont hesitate to lmk what you think :3

as promised: jess' les amis fanfic rec list ✨

this is mainly e/r, a little bit of e/r/c and a few courferre

This is just the stuff that was in my bookmarks on ao3 when I started writing this post (months ago lol sorry it took so long). Going through I was shocked to see so many of my faves weren't actually bookmarked so I will for sure do a part two when I find them again, and have also added heaps of new fics to my bookmarks since then, but for now 25 fics is enough 😂

many of these will be rated E and will have sexual content, some are straight up pwp ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

ok first is my ultimate fave that isn't even on ao3 anymore, but thankfully is on the authors tumblr, and that's:

Gnomon by luchia

50-80k words (?) (bc it's not on ao3 i'm estimating)

rating: E

Enjolras/Grantaire

terrorist/assassin Enjolras my beloved ever. My fave are the "charming young man capable of being terrible" fics obviously. This one is my #1 e/r like in my head this is it's own canon. & this series has my fave e/r smut scenes ever. I still daydream about a Gnomon tv show...

- trigger warnings bc it's not on ao3 so doesn't have tags: murder, gun and knife violence, bombs, conversations about the deaths of children. this is not healthy relationship fluff but it makes for a 🥵 dynamic that's for damn sure.

also linking the rest of the series which is up on ao3 still, even though it is officially abandoned and unfinished - i am going to break my ultimate rule right off the bat and link an unfinished series bc I like it so much.

stupid terrorist boys by luchia

series, 5 works

200k words

rating: M and E

here we have gnomon's prequels, two sequels, and some one shots in between 🫶🏻

if you're here for kinky pwp Senselessly Happy and Unsuspecting could be good stand-alone (but it's better when reading in order). I would say read Gnomon first on tumblr then read the rest in order on ao3.

Silence Is the Speech of Love by lady_ragnell

rating: E

Enjolras/Grantaire, background Courfeyrac/Marius/Cosette

Enjolras is cursed for speaking out against the gods, Grantaire is there for him.

will I ever shut up about this fic? Never. fave fave fave. the world building, the mythological/religious system, the writing, the "I love you" "I don't think you do, actually" scene URGH!!!! I think of this fic every time i hear chopsticks. Everything happening with courf/marius/cosette, and the genius inclusion of social worker Fantine my beloved. This is one of those "could be it's own novel" fics.

and the sequel from Enjolras' pov 😭 - Left Unsaid

World Ain't Ready by idiopathicsmile

rating: T

Enjolras/Grantaire

yes it's the top fic yes everyone probably knows it but it's good for a reason. THE fake dating high school au fic that I broke all my rules for back in 2015. I refused to read unfinished fics, let alone T rated high school fics, yet I remember waiting for the updates for this one as it came out, messaging mutuals on the day the last chapter was released. and every time I reread I remember why. Brilliantly written, the pining, the angst, the miscommunications. All the Joly and Bossuet scenes.

honourable mention to the scene where Joly is so excited for the battle of the bands, then next scene starts with "I think it's more of a sitting night today" the realest simple yet most gut punching illustration of chronic pain that gets my ass every time.

(we're gonna see a fair bit of idiopathicsmile on here)

this is one of my absolute favourites. not only bc I quote "hit by a truck full of shirts" all the time. a Joly pov fic!!!!!! my beloved!!!!! I'm a BIG JBM fan (they are essential to me when I'm writing grantaire) and love fics that stay true to his friendship with Joly and Bossuet. also I love when Enjolras is a giant dumbass who thinks his feelings for Grantaire is a mystery illness 😂

Enjolras offers his spare room to grantaire - or the one where enjolras chases the sun across the living room floor like a cat. That image has lived rent free in my head for and I am not exaggerating here, 10 years.

Enjolras/Grantaire

lots of myrmidryad here too lol

two of my favourite tropes here. 1: supernatural Enjolras who's in control of his abilities except when it comes to Grantaire (see cupbearer series) and 2: nonbinary Grantaire my beloved!!! Enjolras has psychic empathy triggered by physical touch, so he refuses to touch anyone: until his touch starved ass accidentally touches Grantaire and feels what they're feeling 🥹

tell people you're writing a novel and they're impressed. tell them you're writing a 85,000 word fanfiction centred around two male characters from a book written over a hundred years ago because its fun to imagine boys kissing and they'll tell you you're crazy. because of woke

guys just consider. actor courfeyrac x stage manager combeferre

[aca-ttacka]

ok so. theoretically and totally hypothetically and definitely not in a i-already-have-a-chapter-and-a-half-written kind of way. how many of you would be interested in a les amis modern au fic where enjolras learns to detach his worth from how much change hes able to bring about after a failed protest (that 100% doesnt mirror the rebellion in a super obvious way) leaves him and his friends pretty beaten. it assuredly will explore enjolras letting himself be happy and experience human connection and being satisfied even when hes not acting towards The Cause™️. theoretically and hypothetically of course.

more les amis headcanons! (help)

enjolras and grantaire don’t really dance at parties, but they make an exception with dancing in the moonlight. no one else knows, but it was the song that was playing when R first confessed his feelings for enj

musichetta adds safety pins to all of her clothes, because “they’re very vivienne westwood”

courfeyrac starred in lots of musicals in high school, his most memorable role being tanya in mamma mia (they were short on girls and he could 100000% pull it off)

ferre plays the saxophone and he’s rather good - every friday evening he joins a jam group at a jazz bar

obviously joly is a hypochondriac, but jehan is the complete opposite. at their house, the five second rule is often stretched at ten seconds

cosette is infuriatingly good at shooting pool, and bahorel is not-so-jokingly a little bitch about it every time they play. marius is a disaster and instead of participating he opts to fetch them drinks while they compete

bossuet and joly have a new year’s eve party tradition of reciting poems on top of the coffee table. the poems are all about embarrassing moments les amis have lived throughout the year

eponine always wears a bracelet azelma had given her when they were kids - they don’t talk anymore, but she cherishes the memory

feuilly and jehan are both huge bookworms but they have about 1% overlap - they never read each other’s suggestions
