bricktober day 31! Party
@lesmis-prompts
Well October went quick... Done every prompt except one, better than I thought I'd do! I'd love to do this again next year
----------
"Look, Ep, what else were you expecting?" Azelma asked, looking around the room in entertainment.
Eponine thought about that for a second, before shrugging. "Probably this, to be fair."
The triple wedding of the decade, barred to all paparazzi save Théo and Henrí Thenardier, the youngest of the Thenardier siblings, was always going to be chaos. After all, it was only family and friends invited, and with their family and friends.....
At first it had only been one wedding. Marius, Eponine, and Cosette. Nice and simple. Sure, there might have been some outside interest, a member of famous once-revolutionary political group Les Amis marrying the daughter of crime boss Thenardier and the daughter of the loved ex-mayor and well known philanthropist Valjean. But it wouldn't have been half as bad as the current affair.
See, after about two weeks of exceedingly complicated wedding plans, Eponine had had enough. Like hell was she going to suffer alone when she could drag someone else along with her. That unlucky someone happened to be Grantaire. Seeing as he had proposed to Enjolras a few weeks after Marius had to his girlfriends, he was perfect.
With a little aid from Gavroche, she managed to convince him into agreeing to a double wedding. So then there was not only the above, but soon to be Senator Enjolras and popular artist and lead singer-songwriter of capitalR Grantaire. That would have been bad enough really, but then Cosette got involved.
Of course, her father and Chief Inspector Javert had been dancing around each other for years. Technically they had only been dating for 9 months, but Cosette knew (from conversations she probably shouldn't have overheard) that it really had been longer. So she might have tricked them into getting engaged. And then agreeing to get married with her.
Even then, you could discount all the public interest and still have the utter chaos that came from the friends and family.
Namely, the other three members of capitalR, backup singer and drummer Musichetta, and her boyfriends Joly, the guitarist, and Bossuet, the pianist.
Azelma, Gavroche, Théo, and Henrí Thenardier, the other four of the Thenardier Siblings. The name Thenardier is, of course, synonymous with chaos.
Feuilly, Bahorel, and current posse of street kids from their gym.
Combeferre and Courfeyrac, typically with notes on the 'precise loopholes in the criminal law concerning arson and vandalism', matches, and spray paint.
Jehan, trailing flowers and poetry, hair five different colours every time.
Montparnasse and Claquesous, not completely law-abiding but good enough not to get caught.
All presided over by, of course, the elderly Bishop of Digne.
Eponine and Azelma looked around the room, noting the drunk and newly-wedded Enjolras standing on a table, Grantaire, in a similar condition, looking at him like he was a god.
Javert and Valjean stealthily leaving by the back door, eager to avoid the goodbyes and get straight to honeymoon.
Montparnasse and Gavroche sitting at a table, deep in conversation-
"I think I'd better intervene.." Eponine began, already heading over. Azelma pulled her back.
"Ep, it's your wedding night. Go find your spouses. I'll take our brother."
It took little convincing. Azelma watched her go and smiled. She wouldn't like to do it again, say, but this was a hell of a party.
Jehan walked up to her and handed her a string of flowers. She wrapped it around her shoulders contentedly.
Gavroche was carefully leaving with Claquesous now. She thought about it but shrugged.
"You going to do something about them, Az?" Jehan asked.
"Nah, let them be. They'll wind up in jail anyway, they always do."
"True, but now there's no Javert or Valjean to get them out."
Azelma paused. __ it. "Ah, damn it. GAV! DON'T YOU DARE!"

les miserables cluedo au part 2!
SUSPECTS:
Mr. Green: René Grantaire
Rene Grantaire, or preferably “R,” (27) is a freelance graphic designer and guitarist with no formal education. He grew up in the heart of Paris and has never left the city; he can frequently be found busking outside the Paris Metro on weekends or bar hopping along with Courfeyrac (see previous entry, Felix Courfeyrac). R maintains a close relationship with his only sibling, a younger sister, but his relationship with his parents is believed to be strained. Contrary to his cynical nature, R is a regular member of Les Amis de l’ABC (see previous entry, Julien Enjolras) and has been for years. His contributions, however, have more often been described as annoyances rather than anything helpful. Courfeyrac and Combeferre (see previous entry, Charles Combeferre) both commented on this when asked:
CC: “R’s not there to do anything but irritate Enjolras. And he’s been there for years. We all know why, but it’s gotten ridiculous.”
FC: “He just likes to rile up Enjolras and watch his face turn a pretty shade of pink. R can claim he doesn’t believe in anything, but he believes in Enjolras (..) Don’t tell either of them I said that.”
Upon hearing of Courfeyrac’s invitation to Marius Pontmercy’s estate, Grantaire persuaded Courfeyrac to bring him along as well, claiming he had a bad feeling about the situation and didn’t trust him and Enjolras to go alone. Courfeyrac disbelieved him but was never one to say no to causing some potential drama.
Enjolras is currently unaware Grantaire will be meeting them at the Pontmercy estate.
Ms. White: Eponine Thénardier
Eponine Thénardier (22) is a long-time friend of Marius Pontmercy. Working full-time as a waitress to support her two siblings Gavroche (9) and Azelma (13) while taking night classes at the University of Paris has left Eponine with little time for herself. After a difficult and neglectful upbringing, Eponine saved her siblings from the same fate by fighting for and acquiring custody of them as soon as she turned 18. Marius Pontmercy has consistently supported her through her struggles, ever since childhood, and the two have been close friends for over a decade. There was a running joke, which Eponine started, that they spent so much time together they might as well get married. However, Marius has recently wed Cosette Fauchelevent (see next entry), whom he was introduced to by Eponine herself. She also helped plan his marriage proposal, for which Marius had thanked her profusely.
Unfortunately, in the past year, Eponine’s studies and home life have become more intense and she has lost touch with Marius Pontmercy. Marius was hoping to reconnect with his old friend through an invitation to his estate, which he was slightly surprised she accepted.
Dr. Orchid: Jean “Jehan” Prouvaire
(I went a little off-script with this one—Colonel Mustard is the last suspect in the original Cluedo game, but I didn’t have an Amis I wanted to add to this story that I felt I could compare him to. Dr. Orchid is from some of the newer versions of the game, if you want to look it up! :) )
Jean Prouvaire, or preferably “Jehan,” (22) is an undergraduate student finishing up their bachelor’s in biology at the University of Paris. Like Combeferre (see previous entry, Charles Combeferre), they discovered their calling and passion early on in life when they were a child; plant sciences. Having grown up on a farm in the French countryside, they moved to Paris when they were 18 to attend college and explore city life. During their first year, Jehan unintentionally interrupted a Les Amis de l’ABC (see previous entry, Julien Enjolras) meeting and ended up a member for the rest of the group’s existence at the university. Courfeyrac (see previous entry, Felix Courfeyrac) became quite good friends with them and were on the path to something more, but lost touch when the group disbanded and when Courfeyrac graduated. Courfeyrac, however, was supposedly the one who introduced them to toxicology, and Jehan has since redirected their studies to that field, specifically plant toxicology.
Jehan met Marius four years ago in their first year at the University of Paris, where they were roommates in the dorms. Since then, they meet up every now and again for lunch and coffee and call on holidays. Jehan is introverted and despite living for four years in Paris, has yet to make many friends, so they eagerly accepted Marius’s invitation to the Pontmercy estate.
i’m so glad you guys are liking this so far :) i have one more entry i can add to this if you want, and then we can see where it goes from there!
les miserables cluedo au!
(somebody please write this fanfic because i do not have the skills required to)
SUSPECTS:
Miss Scarlett: Julien Enjolras
Julien Enjolras (24) is the only child of wealthy socialites Augustin and Marie Enjolras. They paid his college tuition for the University of Paris before he was kicked out due to disciplinary actions (relating to the protests he held on campus). Afterwards, he cut ties with his parents and officially formed the Les Amis de l’ABC, a political activist group he started at university. Enjolras has been accused by the police force of inciting violence in his rallies and has been apprehended for resisting arrest several times. He is described by his friends and fellow activists as a fiery, passionate individual with a tendency for trouble. Currently, he lives in Paris, France, and is unemployed.
Per his best friend’s request, Enjolras is reluctantly accompanying Felix Courfeyrac (see below) to Marius Pontmercy’s estate.
Ms. Peacock: Felix Courfeyrac
Felix Courfeyrac (24) is a graduate of The University of Paris and a struggling actor. After earning a degree in Theater Arts, Courfeyrac traveled to the United States to fulfill his dreams in Hollywood. Unable to find work after a year abroad, he returned to France and rejoined the activist group he formed in college with Julien Enjolras (see above). He is well known as a party animal and frequently spends his nights bar hopping or at a club. Courfeyrac can be described as gregarious, flirtatious, and at times, impulsive. He is currently living in Paris, France, and is employed at the Corinthe as a waiter.
Courfeyrac first became friends with Marius in university, where he unsuccessfully introduced him to the Les Amis de l’ABC. However, despite their political and personal differences, the two have managed to stay close.
Professor Plum: Charles Combeferre
Charles Combeferre (26) is a graduate student at the University of Paris. Born and raised in Arizona, Combeferre developed an interest early on in butterflies and moths, and has gone on to pursue a Master’s of Science with a concentration in Entomology and Lepidopterology. After obtaining his Bachelor’s Magna Cum Laude at Harvard University, he made the choice two years ago to relocate to France and study abroad. He frequents the Cornithe and is acquaintances with Courfeyrac and Enjolras. Enjolras has been trying to persuade Combeferre to join the Les Amis de l’ABC, but Combeferre has so far turned him down. Despite this, he occasionally attends their weekly meetings in the backroom of the Cafe Musain and voices his opinions. At first glance, Combeferre is on the quieter side, but shows no hesitation in standing up for others or his beliefs. Enjolras describes him as “overwhelmingly intelligent, witty, and unfailingly kind.” Combeferre is currently presiding in Paris and is unemployed.
Combeferre was introduced to Marius through his friendship with his fiancé, Cosette Fauchelevent (see next entry). Their relationship is strained due to their widely differing opinions, but Combeferre accepted Marius’s invitation to the Pontmercy estate nevertheless.
should i continue the suspect profiles? let me know!

les amis and their instruments
bc musician!amis is something that can be so personal
enjolras: violin. and other string instruments, but he prefers the violin. their nails are always clipped really really short.
combeferre: any brass instrument, but heavily prefers the french horn. it calms him down. he hates it when courf makes inappropriate jokes abt playing it.
courfeyrac: the saxophone. tbh he could technically play any saxophone but he plays alto sax. they know many songs. probably dozens! but all they play is careless whispers. he's memorized it. everyone sends him sheet music for other songs and pieces. he will not play anything else. help.
feuilly: clarinet. the man can also improvise like nobody's business.
grantaire: guitar, all kinds. no this isn't inspired by george blagden what are you talking about? he's got both short and long nails and it drives everyone crazy. he can also play piano (and drive marius mad with the click of his nails on the keys)
joly: he can't play anything but they can dance. they're a very skilled dancer. but no instruments.
bossuet: used to play tuba before that proved to be a dangerous decision. now plays percussion which is safer. favorite instruments are the tubular bells.
musichetta: any string instrument but has a soft spot for the viola. she's fucking amazing at it. she was made for the spotlight dammit.
jehan: flute. i mean, it's canon. also they've tried to compose things but they got distracted. alas! if you open a certain door you will be flooded with thousands of wips.
bahorel: drums. drums drums drums. the master of drum rolls and fills. he can also play the trumpet but like, badly.
marius: used to play piano, now plays cello. he was forced to play piano and only plays it if he wants to. he duets with enj, r, or chetta sometimes. like enjolras their nails are clipped short (but not as short as enj's)
cosette: she sings and plays the harp. her voice is angelic and lovely and basically what im saying is i love her. also saying this rn my voice hc for her is 1980s concept album cosette.
eponine: plays some guitar with the help of grantaire. they duet sometimes.
gavroche: one (1) very loud kazoo.

Where do I start?
I'll give you my favorite.
He's an incredible guitarist and he owns two guitars, a shiny new one and his old battered Betsy.
He learned how to play with Betsy, and she's covered in stickers and little drawings from his friends, Jean's handwritten poems on the back and artfully craved spirals on the neck by Feully.
The visual reminder helps him, when he's feeling horrible and unlovable and unworthy. He learned to play because he needed a way to let his feelings out, to vent, to let his mind run in not too dangerous roads, and it helped.
It's still helping. It's helping his alcoholism, too, and his own self esteem, to see that he's this good at something that makes others happy. Helps him see other sides of himself. Makes him want to work on himself to feel better.
And it sure helps that his rugged voice is incredible while he sings.
He's got a weak spot for Springsteen, he loves "thunder road ", spent a whole week to work the chords out smoothly.
He's got an habit to sneak out on his fire escape and play the night away when sleep won't come. The wine's still there but it's less than before. He lights up a cigarette and hums, tuning good ol'betsy.
He loves to play on the many bridges decking the Seine, walking around and smiling at tourists and little kids alike.
He sometimes plays for his friends, too, and there's so much pride in their eyes, when they see how hard he's working, a guitar in his hands instead of a bottle.
And it's so warming it makes him think that he surely can make it, he can surely demolish the walls of depression, lower and lower around him until they disappear.
And he feels better. He's not there yet, but he believes he can make it.
Send me your favourite Grantaire hcs
I need some more content from the boy :')

Little scene about guitarist!Grantaire seeing Enj for the first time:
The sunset coloured all in red when Grantaire was sitting on the bridge, his guitar between his arms and he was singing:
"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are grey"
But his voice was low and a little bit sad, 'cause he wasn't feeling the song, 'cause he didn't have a sunshine.
The sun seemed so far away, and that song was so sad in his mind.
In that exactly moment, he saw him. A boy was looking at the sunset, a few metres from there. He had blonde hair, shining in the red light; his skin was pale, almost transparent. He had this little smile on his face and he seemed to shine in the sunset' light.
Grantaire smiled, got up from the bench and started to sing again, louder.
"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine"
The boy turned and their eyes met.
He smiled and Grantaire smiled back, still singing.
When the boy was about to leave, Grantaire suddenly sang: "Please don't take my sunshine away"
The boy laughed a little and sat down on the bench, still listening to the song.
I know it's silly, sorry. I needed some fluff.

Fic Update
Title: “Rock Me” Author: flitwickslittlebrotha Fandom: Les Miserables Ship: Enjolras/Grantaire Summary: Grantaire is the drummer in his NYC-based band, The Drunk Revolution. For the past four years he's been maintaining a steady but casual relationship with its guitarist, Montparnasse, while singer Eponine and bassist Bahorel grow more and more concerned. But when the band leaves Grantaire behind one weekend, out of town on a gig he's unable to attend, a new figure steps into their lives. Although this meeting between Grantaire and Enjolras is brief, it begins a whirlwind of a year that brings together new friends, dissolves old relationships, and beats on to the relentless rhythm of a drum.
Chapter 9 is now up! Avoiding the black hole of links, link will be in the reblog, or you can search it with the title/author above!

Les amis as a band headcanons!
@klayr-de-gall requested Les amis as a band, so here we go: Enjolras: Keyboard player. Helps write the music to the lyrics. Has never taken any keyboard/piano lessons, taught himself by Youtube tutorials. Can play by ear too if needed. Courfeyrac: Lead singer, who loves it when the crowd sings along and often lets them sing the refrain instead of him in concerts. Also known to do requests. Whatever song the audience wants, they get. Regardless of if it's one of their songs or not. Combeferre: Bass player, who claims he can't sing at all and refuses to. None of the band members have actually heard him sing out loud, but he tends to sing when no one else can hear. Grantaire: Guitarist and background singer. Actually has a great voice and some fans would love to see solo stuff from him. Writes original stuff but hasn't recorded any of it... yet. Joly: Is the only band member with a bit of stage fright and takes some persuasion to actually get up on stage, but once he's out there, you'd never know he was nervous about it. Also a background singer. Jehan: Drummer. Usually writes all the songs and is quite good at it even though he's always doubting it's good enough. (At least up until it's released. Once it's released and gets a great response from fans and most critics however, he claims he knew it was a great song all along and not at all a crap song.)

I’m writing a thing with @spaceface-inc about ENJOLTAIRE!! IT’S HAPPENING! It’s hella slow-burn, but it’s also kinda sexy, and it’s set in the ‘60s, so that’s cool, and you should probably definitely read it. Only the first chapter’s out, but we’re planning 8. We frEAKING LOVE IT SO FAR. okay go back to your knitting.
SUMMARY: It's 1969. Enjolras is studying law at the University of Minnesota; Grantaire, known on the stage as ‘R,’ is a proto-punk guitarist. The war in Vietnam rages, and though each student has dodged the draft, each has imprisoned himself in other ways. When they meet at a snowy bus stop, it's the beginning of an escape neither of them could have fathomed.

Guitarist Grantaire
Just because I love him and I’m trashing on Les mis, Grantaire and Enjoltaire.
- Can play lots and lots of instruments, (piano, sax, violin and drums) but he’s awesome with a guitar;
- He’s really good at singing, too;
- He’s in a band with two other guys. Les amis don’t know (yet) about this, except Ponine. It’s not a secret, it just never came out;
- The band’s name is “Minority” cause they all love “Green Day”;
- They play in a suburbian bar;
- The bar’s name is “Blue” and is rather big for a bar;
- The bar’s costumers love them;
- On Thursdays and Saturdays they have a lineup, on Tuesdays they go with audience’s requests;
- Grantaire is always joking on stage, singing even when he doesen’t know the lyrics, while the drummer and the bassist  always manage to play everything;
- Once, someone asked for “Here I am,” and Grantaire only knew half of it, speaking on the guitar solo:
“ I’m sorry, I hope you don’t mind me acting like this up there. My mates are so professional and then there’s me, and I hope you’re not disappointed because”
– the lyrics starts again – 
“ Here I am, this is me, there’s nowhere else on earth I’d rather be” 
 and everyone goes wild.
.
.
- He’s an ass about love songs:
“You know, I’ve had a special request tonight” and he’d be  walking on the stage, hands moving all around, “this boy comes to me, asking a song for his girlfriend because today’s their anniversary. Ten minutes later his girlfriend shows up and asks for the same thing” he stops walking “Thing is, that song is horrible, but I’m a good guy so I’m gonna play it nonetheless because love is awesome and I love love”
 And then
 “We need to do this the right way. Both of you, I want you in the middle of the dance floor. Make some space you people, let them dance together while we drown in our despair”
 And then
 “Susan, Susan can you hear me?” (the light technician)
“Susan, I want a blue light on them. Can you see them? Yeah, there, a little on the left…no, my left Susan, not your left.
“Yeah, there. Good? Let’s do this”
.
-“Ariana Grande? Who asked me to perform Ariana Grande? You know how high her voice is? Do you want me to choke on my vocal chords? Are you trying to kill me?!”
.
One of those nights, Les Amis find themselves there, thanks to Courfeyrac :
“Guys , we have to go to this bar, my friend told me the alcohol’s cheap and the singer is hot. Please please please let’s go.”
- Enjolras didn’t  want to go but they bribed him because “we voted Enjolras, shut the fuck up and come with us” “uhg”
.
Whoops
-“ Grantaire’s the sexy singer?!” – Joly“
What the fuck” – Courfeyrac“
No way”- Bousset
“ That asshole never said a fucking thing. I’m gonna smash his head” – Jean
“Calm down, Jean”- Bahorel
“He’s really good. We could ask him to perform. We could draw in more people”- Combeferre
“Uh”- Enjolras
“That asshole”- Jean
“Jean, stop.”- Bahorel
“You really didn’t know?!”- Ponine
“You did?!”
.
- After the performance,  they all move toward R who’s drinking at the counter with the rest of the band
- Jean is the first to arrive, hitting  him on the back of his head. 
Grantaire whips around
“what are you doing here?”-R
“you’ve been holding out on us! Liar!”- Jean
“What do you mean Liar?! I didn’t lie about anything!”-R
“Shut up, asshole”- Jean
“Jean, please calm down”- Bahorel
-You never said anything, why?”- Enj
“I didn’t mean for it to be a secret. We just never talked about it”
“You’re really good”
p>
-They love you”- Courf
“Naah, they just like the music”
“Yeah, no. They love you. I love you too, now. Also, I’m attracted to you, now. That’s so strange”
“That’s disturbing. Courfeyrac, stay away from me”
“Meanie”
- Tuesdays nights at the bar become a common thing. Les amis like messing with Grantaire asking the most absurd songs.
- One night Enjolras asks for “La Marsaillase” and Grantaire laughs so hard he falls down. 
- Grantaire subtly flirts with Enjolras while on stage. Enjolras can tell he’s flirting, but can’t tell with who, so he gets jealous and grumpy. Meanwhile Grantaire thinks he’s offended or something.
- Courfeyrac wants to smash their heads on the bar counter.
-In the end, Grantaire sings “Last night on earth” and then says: “Enjolras, that was for you, you obvious man”.  Enjolras blushes. Courfeyrac screams.

Grantaire, Eponine, Jehan, and Montparnasse are all involved in their university’s student radio. 
Jehan and Parnasse run a talk show called Queer Kids on the Block, while R and Ponine are co DJs for a free form music power hour.
Grantaire is the guitarist for a band that does house shows, which more often than not takes place in Montparnasse’s basement
