les amis de l’abc as things me and my friends have said

enjolras: i wish i allowed myself to smoke just to escape functions

combeferre: i’d probably be better off as a jukebox

courfeyrac: (in a discussion about what we should make a podcast on) how many mini sandwiches i can eat in an hour?

jehan: dude i was dizzy when i was BORN

feuilly: (talking about cop shows) i’d make a great dead body

joly: (stressfully) you’ll leave me without a neck, and people without necks aren’t people, they’re corpses!

bossuet: hey, if i made you run errands without paying you would it be considered slavery?

bahorel: we have plenty of grass for you, too. goat (affectionately)

grantaire: (clearly sarcastically) today is my forte

marius: just think about it.. your children’s parent lives on this planet right now

eponine: manic pixie dream girl? nah, i said i’m a panic moxie grim girl

cosette: actually girlhood is listening to loud music and rearranging furniture

musichetta: dude they’re men, they only care about books and astrology

[la-pheacienne]

Am I the only person on planet earth who believes that Cosette and Marius are a beautiful love story? Yeah it has been so many years since I read this and yeah I was a teen, but I still remember what I felt when I read their story and their deep love for each other really really touched me. They were both orphans, two broken people who found each other by sheer luck and made each other really happy and gave each other hope and light in the midst of adversity and misery. It's just a beautiful depiction of real, deep, visceral, honest emotion between two people. How can you be completely immune to that? And this without even talking about the form, the lyricism, the poetic beauty of the text, the guy literally wrote one of the most iconic passages about romantic love that have ever been written and all you seem to care about is, idk, the power imbalance between them because of gender roles? Or the fact that Marius stalked Cosette? Or the fact that the "love at first sight" trope is boring and conservative? This is fine if the goal is to deconstruct patriarchy but I'm afraid it completely lacks feeling and honest engagement with the text, you know? This approach to the story is so flat and lifeless that I wonder if we've all read the same book. Everyone is entitled to their feelings and their tastes in art of course, but I will just suggest that if you truly do not feel anything at all while reading this love story then maybe 19th century Romanticism isn't for you? Idk.

les mis au where valjean rescues éponine from the barricade instead of marius

[pyromaniacbibliophile]

The Halls of the Dead (Chapter 1)

ao3 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4

So I was musing on the afterlife then I saw this post and I thought 'Afterlife enjoltaire?' then this happened. Bear in mind I haven't read the brick yet (though i desperately want to but i'm forbidden from bying books near my bday) so Les Amis are based off what little we get of them in the movie and the 178 les mis fics ive read.

MY FIRST LES MIS FIC I'M SO HAPPY :)

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

Time passed differently in the afterlife, Eponine guessed. She had woken up a few hours ago, and unless Les Amis had made a sensible decision and left their barricade, surely someone would have died by now. 

Standing up, she stretched and looked around herself. She was in a meadow, the sort of meadow you read about in books. Sun beat down from above, the green grass was speckled with yellow and pink flowers, bees and butterflies flitted through the air. It was nice, she thought to herself. 

It was obviously the afterlife, but surely it couldn’t be just this? There must be something else, she decided, and began to walk. 

Not ten minutes later, she came to a river. It was easily 8 metres wide, and it looked deep. She looked up and down, but there was no bridge. Eponine was about to turn back when a boat appeared. A boat rowed by a skeleton in a black cloak. Ah. 

“Come, Soul, for you must cross to the other side.” The skeleton declared.

“Must I cross now?” She asked. 

“No, but you cannot reside in the Meadows. You will have family and friends on the other side.”

“My only family is still alive. As are my friends. I wish to wait for them.” Although she hoped Gavroche wouldn’t be here for a long, long time, she doubted that could happen. She would also like to think the French Army wouldn’t shoot children, but again, there was little chance of that being true. 

“You may be waiting a long time.”

“Can you find out how long?” 

The skeleton paused. “It is not typically the done thing… Your name?”

“Eponine Thenardier.” 

It pulled out a long scroll of paper and unrolled it. “Thenardier, Thenardier.. The Beginning of the French Revolution?” 

“Sounds about right.”

“Not long at all, Mademoiselle Thenardier.”

“Thank you.” 

She turned, and began to walk back to the meadows, when she saw a familiar figure sit up in the grass just ahead. She stared. 

“Monsieur Mabeuf?”

[sageswirll]

You can never go wrong with Marius and Cosette. I need more fanart and fics of them. But I don't just want sweet, lovey dovey, hand holding while frolicking through meadows content - i need angst. I need frustrated Cosette, i need an argument - i need proper fics. but if you love the heterosexuals too much, then I want to see the comforting angst. Cosette caring for Marius with his survivors guilt. Cosette and Marius, huddled together with the letter Valjean wrote. Cosette having a nightmare about her past and waking Marius up. I've read it all with E/R. Now I need the cheesy ones to become real.

Part 6 of incorrect les mis

Some or these may have been done.

Grantaire: I will not let a technicality stop me.

Joly: Techni- you mean the law?

Grantaire: Yes I hate that word.

-

Bahorel: I asked Feuilly out.

Montparnasse: Oh, I'm sorry.

Bahorel: Why?

Montparnasse: Well, I assume he said no.

Bahorel: No, he said yes.

Montparnasse: Really? Then I'm sorry for him.

-

Courfeyrac: Gay as fuck to be a angry politician. What are you mad about? Men? Are you just crazy about men?

Grantaire: I hear that politics is a man dominated field. Is that what you want? To be dominated by other men?

Enjolras: *confused* I beg your pardon????

Grantaire: *holding out a Bouquet of flowers* what's not clicking?

-

Jehan: Well, this is the last box of your clothes. I'm just gonna label it, 'What were you thinking?'

Feuilly: Funny, 'cause I was just going to go across the hall and write that on Montparnasse.

-

Courfeyrac to Combeferre: I don't know how many times I have to say this. Do not like a picture of my ass on Instagram if you don't want me in your DMs telling you to spank it, all right? Just don't do it.

-

Fantine: Javert, you and Valjean did not do it. And while I applaud your misguided efforts to make me jealous, I have work to do. So... leave.

Javert: I don't care about making you jealous. I just care about pleasing your fella.

Fantine: Valjean is not "my fella".

Javert: *smirks* And how!

-

Eponine: I've kinda of had this uh, this crush on you. But since you were with Marius, I-I didn't do anything about it. But, now that you're not, I'd really like to ask you out sometime. So-so that's-that's what I'm doing, now.

*Marius gets this hurt expression on his face and goes into the back room*

Cosette: Wow! Umm....

*A loud crash and the sound of breaking dishes. Followed quickly by another crash, Marius emerges with everyone looking at him*

Marius: I dropped a cup.

-

*Grantaire stops Combeferre*

Grantaire: Oh, Combeferre, I saw what happened. Is your boyfriend okay?

Combeferre: *stops short, looks at him* My boyfriend?!

Grantaire: Yeah, th-th-the loud little friendly one you're always hanging around with...oh, uh, Courfeyrac.

Combeferre: He's not my boyfriend.

Grantaire: Are you sure...?

Combeferre: Yes, I'm sure. I don't like him. He's shallow and loud, talkative. He's everything that I hate.

Grantaire: But Combeferre, you hate everything.

Combeferre: What's that supposed to mean?

Grantaire: Well, it means that... that maybe you like him cause... *sings* I kinda think you dooo.

Combeferre: No! How could I like him. Because I don't like him! Because I can't like him! Grantaire, if I like him.... shoot me.

Grantaire: *turns to him and makes a finger gun* POW!!

-

Grantaire to Enjolras: You'll figure out what to do Apollo, you have great instincts. You have a great butt too, but that's a whole other thing.

-

Bossuet, drunkingly confronting Musichetta: Hey you! Musichetta is it? Yeah. I don't know where you're from. But I'll have you know, I am the catch of Paris.

Joly: That's true. That's how he signed my yearbook.

-

Marius: Okay, remember, workout time tomorrow is 6:30. So get some rest. Or do what I do: lie awake and listen to your roommate do stuff with your other roommate on the other side of the wall.

*Everyone stares at Eponine and Cosette*

-

Joly, putting a hand on Bossuet's forehead: God, you're hot...

Bossuet: So are you.

Joly: With a fever.

-

Courfeyrac: We don't have to do nothing *looks around* nothing big was taken, probably some kids having fun.

Enjolras: Fun?

Courfeyrac: Yeah, you know, fun... that thing you've never had.

Enjolras: I have plenty of fun, okay *walks over to Grantaire and smiles* I'm fun, right?

Grantaire, looking Enjolras up and down: You're good lookin!

-

Eponine: Anyway, I was wondering if, you were the sort of person who... eats lunch.

Cosette: Are you asking me out? 'Cause it would be kinda weird since I just broke up with Marius.

Eponine: Yeah uh... okay. I'm-I'm sorry. Bye.

Cosette: No! Wait! I was just saying that so you'd think I was a good person. Fight for me.

Eponine: Uhh, I won't take no for an answer.

Cosette: Not great, but we can work on it at lunch.

-

*The other cops walking in on Javert packing up night vision goggles*

Javert: Oh man, I gotta go to the bench in town. I'm late to stalk Valjean.

-

Courfeyrac: So what, we just sit?

Combeferre: Ohh, no, no. We're not going to just sit. *calls Marius* Shhh.

Marius, answering the phone: Hello, Marius Pontmercy.

Combeferre, in a high pitched female voice; Hello Mr. Pontmercy... I love you.

Marius, angrily: Alright, whoever this is, stop calling me! *Les Amis silently laughing* It's been six months! It's not funny!

Combeferre: But, I love you.

Marius: Leave me alone! For the love of God, leave me alone!!!

*Combeferre hangs up*

Combeferre: And that's Wednesday.

-

Feuilly: We just have to really, really, really, not let stuff like money get--is that a hickey?

Jehan: No, I just, I fell down.

Feuilly: On someone's lips? Where'd you get the hickey?

*Bahorel high fives Montparnasse*

-

*Marius tries to enter the Cafe back room that has a voice command*

Marius: Marius.

Computer: Access denied.

Marius: Pontmercy.

Computer: Access denied.

Marius: Nostrils.

Computer: Access Denied.

Marius: *grumbles* Napoleon's Bitch.

Computer: Welcome, mari-quiff.

-

Marius: I know I didn't do anything wrong, but where am I gonna find another friend like Courfeyrac?

Eponine: Look, there are plenty of other fish in the sea, okay? It's like when you and Cosette broke up. It was for the best. And after a while, she found someone better. Me. And since then, I've enjoyed throwing that in your face as often as possible. What was your question again?

-

*Valjean and Javert hug*

Fantine: Could you cut it out? I gotta go home to an empty apartment.

-

*Marius wants to talk to a hidden Cosette*

Marius: Eponine, do you know where she is?

Eponine: 712 Forest Lane, blue house with a little flamingo on the lawn.

Marius: Wow. Stalk much?

Eponine: Yes.

[smallblueandloud]

the eponine x cosette x marius ot3 anon is back !!

check back with me in a few days anon and hopefully i'll have something more substantial for you

don't mind if i do :3 but also, i thought i'd tell you that you've mildly inspired me to start writing fic again. i'm not sure i'll ever actually finish, but there's that!

HI ANON I LOVE YOU I'M SO SORRY FOR VANISHING

that makes me so happy!!!! fic is such a fun and glorious thing <3 i took a two-week break from writing because of a family trip (and then depression kicked me in the ass) but i'm coming back to it today and i am very happy about that :D

since we last talked, i have outlined the fic!! i have a pretty good sense of where it's going, which makes me happy. (there are still LARGE chunks of this fic that are not outlined -- notably the resolution, lmfao -- but i'm hoping those sections will take shape as i get a better feel for the fic as a whole)

also... i wrote one of the most important scenes :D

“Dearly beloved-- well, now I sound like a priest.” Eponine sighs. “You’re thinking about it too hard.” She lets the pen drop. “You have to think about it-- listen, Marius is going to know who you are as soon as he gets the letter. This isn’t about introducing yourself in the usual way. You’re trying to avoid a WhatsApp romance, aren’t you?” Cosette crosses her arms, watching her. “So how would you do it?” “I’d lose the self-consciousness,” she says, bluntly. “This only works if you commit fully.” Cosette shakes her head. “I can’t just stop being anxious. I’ve never talked to him, I don’t even know what his voice sounds like!” “Marius is a romantic,” says Eponine, firmly. “He’ll love whatever you write for him. Look, let me--” She scribbles something down, more focused on displaying relaxation than the quality of her writing. Marius-- I want this to be more than just a summer fling. I don’t know what your voice sounds like, but I know what it feels like to have you live in my heart, in my thoughts, in my life. Will you start this experiment with me? Will something bloom through the pages of our letters? When she glances up, Cosette is staring at her, awed. Belatedly, Eponine says, “Something like that.”

Bricktober day 8- Canon Era

@lesmis-prompts , @cossie-fauchelevant thought u might like this

So, despite literally everything else i've written for bricktober being canon era, the actual prompt 'canon era' didn't want to be written. SO then i took a few liberties and this happened. In summary: have the greek gods discussing les amis and also Fantine's life story (which is probably wildly inaccurate as i have STILL NOT READ THE B00K TO MY ETERNAL FRUSTRATION so yeah.

This may well become an Actual Thing at some point. You have been warned.

_______________________________

The gods are very much real. They would like to start with that. The Gods of Olympus, yes those gods, yes the ones who commit incest and bestiality on a daily basis (to say nothing of the affairs), they are real. 

It started one day quite some time ago. Around 1810, to be more precise. Hades was chatting with a soul who had recently died, her name was Fantine. Now, Fantine had a rather interesting story to tell. 

She was born in Paris in 1796, and never knew her parents. A stranger gave her the name Fantine, which, having little alternative, she kept. Being a girl desperate for money , one thing led to another and she was seduced by a man named Felix Tholomyes. 

In short order, she became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter in 1815, who she named Euphrasie. However when Euphrasie was no older than one year, Felix abandoned her. She managed to keep her daughter fed for a little over a year before she decided that Euphrasie should have better and so gave her to a couple called the Thenardiers, who ran an inn and had a daughter a similar age to Euphrasie. 

She moved to Montreuil sur Mer and got a job in Monsieur Madeleine’s factory. Monsieur Madeleine was the town’s mayor and a good man, although she discovered later he wasn’t just that. Almost all her money she sent to the Thenardiers and kept barely enough to live on. 

One day it was discovered that she had a daughter and she was fired from the factory. Desperate, she sold her necklace, her hair, and lastly her body. Though she got by for a little while, there came a most despicable man. She refused to let him sleep with her and went so far as to punch him. The police were called and she was almost arrested, however Monsieur Madeleine stepped in. She was taken to a hospital and Madeleine promised to find her child and raise her as his own. 

She was on the verge of death when the Inspector of the police burst in. He accused Madeleine of being a criminal named Valjean. The two men argued furiously for many minutes yet Madeleine never denied the accusations so she supposed they must be true. 

She decided that really she didn’t mind; Valjean or Madeleine, he was a kind man nonetheless. 

Eventually the Inspector attempted to arrest Valjean, who spat at him, overpowered him, and ran out. It was at this point that Fantine died. 

Hades had listened intently to her tale, then, feeling curious, decided to look up this Valjean man in his Book. 

The Book was a slim tome, on first appearances appearing like it barely contained any words at all. Hades pulled it off the shelf and spoke briskly to it. 

“Show me Valjean.” The Book creaked a bit before opening, spinning through thousands and thousands of pages before settling on the entry for one Jean Valjean/Maire Madeleine/Prisoner 24601. 

It began: Jean Valjean was born in- Hades skipped that page, scanning to see where the important stuff started. A few pages later he spotted the entry for the 9th of December, 1795. To summarise, this Valjean stole a loaf of bread for his sister’s son, promptly got arrested and sentenced to 19 years in the Prison of Toulon. Over the length of his time he tried to escape many times before being released on parole. Unable to get work, he stole some candles from a bishop, got caught, but all was not lost as the bishop lied and said he had given Valjean the candlesticks originally. 

Successfully guilted into becoming a good man, Valjean moved to M-sur-M and, under a false name, became the Mayor. Hades skipped further ahead to the end of his entry, which read: Valjean is currently attempting to elude the police while also aiming to rescue Euphrasie/Cosette from the Thenardiers. 

Well, this sounded exactly like the sort of chaos his family would adore..

Some Years Later

______________–_____—-______

“APHRODITE!” Dionysus yelled, storming up Mount Olympus. 

“Yes, oh great-nephew?” The goddess of beauty smiled winsomely.

Dionysus was not swayed. “Don’t even go there, great aunt, why the HADES is Grantaire, my Chosen Representative in this drama, hopelessly in love with Enjolras!” 

“That would, in truth, be my fault. Dear brother.” Apollo answered, sidling around a corner. 

“What have you got to do with it?” Dionysus exclaimed, in the tones of someone who knows they will not be pleased to hear the answer. 

“Well, as you may remember, Enjolras is my Chosen Representative in this.. How did you put it? Oh yes, this ‘drama’. Thus, he gets both my eloquence and persuasive ability, to say nothing of the fact that he was already exceedingly handsome. If we hadn’t all sworn off sleeping with anyone tied into this- would you say it’s a revolution yet? Anyway, if we hadn’t I would be in his bed as quick as lightning, and I’m a god. No wonder your drunk artist is hopelessly in love… with… him..” 

“Apollo?” Aphrodite asks, a half-flicker of curiosity in her voice. 

“Damned Ashes of Kronos!” Said Olympian curses. 

“What is it?” Aphrodite questions, relentlessly ignoring Dionysus’ slow grin of realisation. 

“He’s bloody well gone and fallen in love with Grantaire!” 

Dionysus bursts out laughing. Aphrodite rolls her eyes. Boys, honestly. 

“You do realise this means you are going to suffer through months of them both pining?”

“WHAT!?” The god of wine gasps, looking at Aphrodite as if she’s just killed his wife. 

At the same time, Apollo shouts “MONTHS?!?” incredulously. 

“Oh, at least. It’s not like they’re just going to confess, are they? Your Grantaire has the self esteem of a fly, Dy, and your Enjolras, Pollo, - has the emotional intelligence of a bee-No, not even a bee, the emotional intelligence of Zeus. May I also remind you that homosexuality is currently illegal in most of the world including France. Getting it yet?” 

Both gods turn to each other in horror. 

“We’re doomed.” They say in sync. 

“Yep!” She smirks as she saunters off to find some more intelligent company. 

She finds it in Hestia and Artemis, who are sitting around a fire chatting. Hestia greets her as Artemis gestures for her to sit down. 

“Dite, we were just talking about you! Well, your Chosen Representative to be more precise, but one and the same!”

Aphrodite isn’t quite sure whether to be pleased or affronted at the comparison to Marius Pontmercy, her Chosen Representative. She settles on pleased, after all Marius is very much a part of her that she usually hides; the part that loves too hard and just wants to make others happy. Over the centuries she has learned to push that part  down but this whole affair is letting her slowly accept it, amongst other things.

“Oh? What’s he done now?” 

Both Hestia and Artemis sigh. 

“That bad, huh?” 

“To be fair, Dite, he’s just a lovesick fool. Which is sort of the problem, really.” Hestia says. 

Artemis groans. “I just don’t understand how Eponine is in love with him! She’s my Chosen Representative, elle est très excellente avec- sorry, she’s very good with knives, she could do better than the fool!”

“I’ll admit, he has his flaws and he is naive, but he loves with all his heart. She could also do worse.” Aphrodite states. 

“Dite, I think the problem is slightly less ‘he’s a fool’ and more ‘he’s passionately in love with Cosette’.” Hestia adds, smiling at the thought of her Chosen Representative, who she loves. After all, Cosette is as close to Hestia as humans can be, being kind, loving, possessive and protective of her family, mildly (severely) pyromaniacal... in short perfect for Hestia’s C.R. 

Aphrodite concedes the point, laughing. 

Artemis is about to say something rather cutting about fools in love when something happens. She freezes in horror. 

“Tia, Dite…” 

“What’s happened?” Hestia asks worriedly. 

“... Eponine’s fallen in love with Cosette as well as Marius..” 

For a second, there is silence. Hestia blinks at her, asking if she’s sure. 

“As certain as certain can be.” Artemis replies. 

“Oh, Arte. You complain about ‘lovesick fools’ then your own C.R turns into one herself.” Aphrodite teases, when Hestia goes very quiet then bursts into slightly hysterical laughter. 

“Tia…” Both goddesses say warily. 

“You’ll never believe what just happened.” Hestia says in a very flat tone. 

“Cosette fell in love with Eponine as well as Marius?” Aphrodite asks sarcastically. When there’s no answer she pauses. “No..” 

Hestia only nods. 

“You know, I reckon this is our fault.” Artemis says. 

“How do you figure that, Arte?” Hestia asks. 

“I mean, we fell in love. They’re our Chosen Representatives. They’ve just fallen in love although they haven’t quite confessed it yet. So…” 

The three are very quiet as they think that over. 

In a voice full of false cheer, Aphrodite questions “So, loves, how’s Zeus getting on with the massive identity crisis he’s having thanks to his Chosen Representative?” 

They jump at the change of subject and manage to distract themselves successfully for a while. 

Back down in the underworld, Persephone is taking tea with Fantine.
