Double Face
Summary: Kylian acts different to you when other people are around.
Warnings: cursing, angst, name calling, gaslighting.
A/N: Happy Monday, everyone! Love you all ❤️ I've been away from tumblr and I really missed you and writing. Hope you all are fine 🤍
Turn around." He orders, making you turn to where he is. "I like that outfit." He smiles.
You smile back to him. Looking back again at your reflection to take a last look of yourself. You move to order the things you moved.
"I'm thinking about ordering some wine." He says, kissing the side of your head. "What do you think?"
You nod your head, smiling at him over the reflection of the mirror. Kylian smiles, finishing with the last details of his outfit.
You two take your time, you did your makeup, and he prepared his hair. When you finished, you called him.
"Ready to go?" You ask him, smiling from downstairs.
"Oui, madame." He smiles, walking downstairs to meet you. "A kiss?" You giggle, giving him a kiss. "Your first night in Madrid, I'm so happy." He hugs you tightly, kissing your shoulder.
Kylian and you have been together since the end of 2022. You met when you got hired at Paris Saint Germain as a sports reporter.
You even travel with the French National Team to the World Cup. Kylian needed you there not as a part of the team but as his partner.
He invited you to live with him in Madrid. You told him that you weren't so sure. You wanted to be able to work on the media as a reporter.
He got you a job as a La Liga reporter. You were beginning during the Valladolid vs. Villarreal game. You were so nervous because even tho you speak Spanish, you feel nervous about fucking things up.
"I'm happy too." You hug him. "Let's hurry, I don't want us to lose the reservation." You say, grabbing your bag from the table next to the stairs.
Kylian and you got to the restaurant. He loved the small, private places in Madrid. After all, he didn't want paparazzi or crazy fans to disturb your peace.
You were used to paparazzi and to crazy fans, even when people weren't as used to the two of you as you wanted.
You had to endure the rumors, the critics, the name calling, the people on the internet making fun of you.
It wasn't as easy as you wanted it to be. Being with someone as big as him was a problem. He was focused on football and making sure his team was good, that sometimes he forgot that he had a life outside the field.
When you took the job in Madrid, you made sure that Kylian and you were on the same page about life.
You weren't a child anymore, and the in and out type of relationships weren't your thing anymore. You want security, someone who's ready to take the next step if he needs to.
"I'm nervous about starting tomorrow." You confess to him.
"Why?' He asks, frowning. "Your second language is Spanish. You speak it so well and you have so much experience as a reporter."
"Thank you," you say, grabbing his hand. "I'm just feeling insecure, and I think being nervous isn't helping."
"You did an amazing job at the World Cup, and let me remind you that PSG hired you because of how good you were with the interviews and with the players during your internship."
You smile at him. Getting closer to kiss him. "I have to travel to Valladolid." You smile. "I'm happy about it."
The rest of the dinner was good, you two changed the topic to different ones. It was nice to be back with him and not having to see him over a screen.
When you are back home, you ask him for help with your luggage. "Heels or no heels?" You show him the shoes. "And if yes, pumps or stilettos?"
"Is both an option?" He asks, grabbing a stiletto. "I like this one, tho."

You walk over the big tunnel of the stadium. You and the cameraman were talking about the sound.
"Mister Gonzalez asked for you to interview one of the madrid guys." He says, checking his texts.
"I'll try to get Jude." You say, making him nod.
The game was about to finish, so you needed to be quickly and try to interview Jude. Since he was the one who scored two goals, you need to be quicker than others.
When you made it to the field, you had two minutes left of the extra time the referee gave. You check the audio, and you check your reflection on your phone screen.
The stadium erupts in happiness as the Real Madrid wins. You smile at how the team runs to the field.
You noticed the smile Kylian has. After all the media says about him, you are happy that he has peace and happiness with this win.
"Y/n, here comes Jude."
You nod, standing to the side of the entrance. Jude smiles at you, stopping when you try to talk to him.
"Jude, can you give us an interview? please." You smile at him.
He nods, smiling and walking with you to where the camera is. You ask if the cameraman is ready.
You began interviewing him. Jude is so happy about his two goals, he dedicates them to his parents.
"Thank you, Jude." You smile.
He walks to another group of reporters who wants to interview him. You notice how other players are still on the field.
You interview a player from Barcelona. You feel tired but have to keep a smile on your face for the sake of the interviews.
You go back to the tunnel, saying your goodbye to your team. You text Kylian, asking him if he wants you to wait for him.
He asks you to wait for him outside in the corridor. You wait there, sitting on a bench that's there.
You noticed some players leave, one of them being Jude. "Hey there Missis Reporter." He smiles at you.
"Hi Jude," You stand up to talk to him. "Thank you for the interview. My boss was happy."
"No problem." He giggles. "What are you doing here?" He asks. "Do you need a ride? I can call you an Uber."
You smile at him. You were about to answer when you hear Kylian's voice. "Jude, you forgot this."
He gives Jude a folder of things. Congratulating him for the goals. Jude smiles at him, shy at all the congratulations he's receiving.
"Hey, ready to go?" He asks you. Making you nod.
"Oh, you now her!" He smiles at the two of you. "How do you know each other?"
You were about to answer, but Kylian does it first.
"She was part of the media team at Paris Saint Germain." He says.
You nod, not thinking much of it. "And now I'm here at La Liga."
"That's amazing. Welcome to Madrid." He smiles. "Thank you, Mate. See you around"
You both say goodbye. You two walk to where the cars are. You try to grab Kylian's hand, but he's quicker and grabs his phone.
"Want some sushi?" He asks, showing you on his phone the menu of a restaurant.
"Oui oui, monsieur." You say, intertwining your arm with his. "Maybe some dumplings too." You smile at him.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/8e40472094f2dc3ba308010097b84436/d20f45aa2a17a13b-ae/s540x810/44ed8195ea1d6a503f6b614d2c10f6c3a73dc53b.jpg)
You enter Kylian's house. You have the groceries you just got. You walk to the kitchen, finding Kylian there.
"Hi." You say.
Your greetings make him turn. He smiles, moving from the wooden stool to get to you. He kisses your cheek.
"I got you all the ingredients to make your shakes in the morning." You say happily.
"You are the best." He says, kissing the top of your nose. "Let's me help you organize."
You two place the groceries while joking around. You love these moments with him. It makes you feel like falling in love again.
"Some friends are coming tonight." He says. "I wanted to ask if you can make us something for dinner."
"Mhm," you say. "Whatever you want, amour."
He smiles, showing you a recipe that he wants you to prepare. You got all the ingredients ready while he was preparing himself.
You prepared enough food for all his friends. Even making time to prepare something for them to have as a dessert.
You heard the doorbell, the maid Kylian hired to help around the house open the door. You hear a very known voice.
"Hola, can I come in?" Camavinga asks.
"Hola, Edu." You say, hugging him. "I missed you around."
"Missed you too. The National Break was hell without you there. The new reporter didn't even knew what to do."
You two make conversation. The doorbell rang again. This time, it was Vini and Jude. They were talking about some match they saw on tv.
You greet Vini while Eduardo greets Jude. You and Vini met before Kylian came to Madrid. They were friends, so he knew you.
"Take a seat in the living room, I'll get some drinks for you." You smile at them. "Kylian is getting ready. He'll be here soon."
They all nod, doing what you told them to do. You serve some drinks, get some snacks on the bowls, and take it to where they are.
Kylian joins them not that long after. They were going to see an NBA game. You didn't wanted to interrupt, so you stayed on the side.
You finish the meal while they are enjoying the game. You were so into the video you are watching that you don't notice someone entering the kitchen until that person clears their throat.
"Hello, interview girl." Jude says.
"Hello, Mister Jude Bellingham." You giggle. "Do you need anything?"
"Can I get more juice?" He asks.
You nod, grabbing his cup and serving him more liquid.
"I thought you were just Kylian's friend." He confess. "Since he introduces you as an ex coworker."
"Well, we don't shout out to the world that we are a couple." You chuckle, passing him his drink.
He nods, understanding. "Isn't it weird to interview him?"
You were about to answer when Kylian entered the kitchen asking you a question. "Amour, can you serve the food?"
You nod at him. Smiling at Jude and excusing yourself to grab the plates that Kylian handed you.
Kylian tells Jude to go sit with the others. He waits for Jude to be out off the kitchen to turn to you.
"Smells so good." He says, getting closer and kissing your lips. "I bet it tastes as good as it looks."
"I hope so." You laugh.
He helps you with taking the plates. Since they were only four people, the two of you were enough to take them out.
"I've been craving the food since I step on this house." Vini says, laughing. "It looks amazing too."
Eduardo and Jude laughed at him. Kylian helps with passing the rest of the things.
"Are you eating with us, Y/n?" Camavinga asks.
"She won't." Kylian says. "She must be tired."
You turn to him, watching him with a confused look on your face. He ignored your eyes.
"Oh, don't be silly, come eat with us." Jude says. "I don't think you only cooked for us and didn't leave a plate for yourself."
"Like I said." Kylian says. "She's tired."
The room got quiet. You look at Kylian with a neutral expression. His response seems agressive.
You smile at them. "I'll bring you guys more drinks." You say after a few moments, moving back to the kitchen.
You took a deep breath, trying to put your best smile. You walk back, the boys are talking back again.
Camavinga looks at you and smiles, posing his hand on your arm, he squish your arm as a way of asking if you were okay.
You nod, understanding what he was trying to do. You grab his arm and squish it in return.
"I'll be upstairs, I'm kind of tired, as Kylian says." You wave them a goodbye.
You can help but notice the face of the boys. Kylian was looking at his phone. He didn't even lift his head or said thank you to you like the others.
You walk upstairs, the feeling of shame grows with every step you take. You try to excuse the behavior by saying it's about the stress he's feeling.
But that wasn't the first time it happened. You just haven't noticed it.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/8e40472094f2dc3ba308010097b84436/d20f45aa2a17a13b-ae/s540x810/44ed8195ea1d6a503f6b614d2c10f6c3a73dc53b.jpg)
"He's a World Cup champion, and she's a sports reporter who got her job because she's with him." You read what the magazine says.
Melissa scuffs, rolling her eyes at the words that are coming out of your mouth. She can't believe someone took the time to write that and print it for other people to read.
"She's trying to become the new Sara." You say, laughing a little. "Well, I'm not trying to become Georgina but Sara." You laugh.
"I don't know which one is better." Melissa laughs with you, taking the magazine in her hands. "At least they printed a good picture of you."
"That's why I'm forgiving them." You joke. "Yes, they wrote that I'm a gold digger who's using my boyfriend's influence to work in Spain sports media, but on the pictures, I look amazing."
You two laugh, Melissa threw the magazine to the trash as you two walk back inside. You were enjoying a nice hot chocolate.
She prepared two snacks for you to eat while you sit on the couch and talk about life updates you have.
"When are you leaving?"
"I have to cover the Atletico de Madrid game in four hours." You say, checking the time. "And I have to be there two hours before, so in about twenty minutes."
You pick the things with her help. You excuse yourself, going to the room and picking your outfit before taking a shower.
You try to style yourself quickly, you add some natural makeup. It was winter, so you like to use a light blush.
You finish with yourself, walking downstairs and finding Melissa talking with her daughter. "Oh, Lana, you are awake!" You say happily.
She nods at you. Hiding behind her mom, making you and Melissa laugh. "Go before traffic gets worse."
You say your goodbyes to them. Hurrying to the stadium, thankfully, you got a little bit earlier than you needed.
You meet your team, helping them with preparing everything for the pre of the game. You place your mic and your earpiece.
"Mike, I'll go to the bathroom." You say, leaving your things on the side, where your things and the team things are.
You walk over the corridors, saying hi to some of the other news workers. You take your time, noticing how the players are taking theirs.
When you are back, you notice this other reporter. You roll your eyes at the presence of her. She's a bother, and you don't like her.
"I'm back." You say, playing the earpiece and your mic back in place. You check your watch. "Fifteen to get started." You say to them.
You check your makeup one last time, applying more gloss to your lips. You check if your teeth were clean from anything.
"So, did you read what Hola Magazine wrote about you?" She asks.
Your sigh, turning to her with a fake lip smile. "I didn't," you lie. "Why? What did they say?"
"Nothing, just some facts here and there."
You lift your eyebrow, facts?
You were about to answer her, but you shut your mouth. It's better that way. You know she only wants you to react.
They gave you the sign, and you two began talking to the camera. You can separate your personal life from your work life.
You don't care if Alessandra, the reporter, or any other person tells you something about you, you don't mind it.
Of course it made you feel weird. You wouldn't talk about someone the way they talk about you, or even create the rumors people create about you.
You finish with the segment, grabbing your stuff quickly and walking to the corner. You have to write down every possible thing that can help you to interview the players.
To your bad luck, Alessandra was seated next to you. You were hoping for her to be sent to the other side of the field.
You tried your best to ignore her. You don't feel like engaging in a conversation. You don't want to be her friend, and she doesn't want to be yours.
You concentrate on the game in front of you. Patiently waiting for something to happen.
You can't help but be distracted with your phone. Kylian was home, and he was trying to fond something.
You were trying to be quick and explain to him where you put that thing he's looking for. Quickly returning your attention to the game.
"Did you notice that De Paul has his girlfriend here?" She asks you. Pointing at the players' balcony. "She's an influencer."
You scan everybody at the balcony, not really being able to distinguish her away from the others.
"That's cute." You say, not giving too much attention.
"Have you ever been to Kylians' games?"
You nod, looking at the field. "Many."
She scuffs. "I mean, of course you have." She says, funny tone. "But not as a psg reporter, an fff social media person or a la liga reporter, but as his girlfriend."
You then think that you haven't been to any of his games as a girlfriend. You've been there, of course, but you were also working outside the field.
"I have." You lie. "Why?"
"Just curious." She shrugged. "Don't you love when players show off their girlfriends? It's so cute."
You nod, taking notes of an assist that Antoine did. You then look at her and nod again, you don't want to seem rude, even when you want to be.
"I never seen Kylian done that with you." She says, smirking. "If I recall, he has never mentioned you."
You knew that this was coming. Every time you guys had a kind of nice conversation, she had to be shady and threw you a comment about your private life.
"Why would he?" You ask, eyebrow raised. "His private life is only his."
"Oh, I know." She says, pressing a hand to her chest. "I just feel for you. I can't imagine being hide in so cleared light."
You shake your head no. "I'm not hidden."
"I mean, if you say so." She chuckles. "But if I'm honest, I wouldn't be surprised if next season you are not with us anymore."
You were about to answer her, but the referee marked the end of the first half. You excuse yourself, you place the notebook down, grab your bag and walking to the tunnel before the players.
You walk into the bathroom, locking yourself in one. You breathe a few times, trying to calm the urge to drag her by the hair.
You walk out, finding other reporters. You wash your hands and say a quick hi and goodbye to them. You grab your phone, texting Kylian to ask him if he found what he wanted.
He texted you a picture of him with a thumbs up. You reply with a picture of the corridor.
You try your best to keep calm. You don't want to make a scene by telling her to shut up or to mind her business.
You won't fall for that.
You can't help but not be able to concentrate the whole game. Rodrigo De Paul scored a goal, making a hand signal for his new girlfriend.
Something inside of you is making you feel some type of way.
As much as you act as if you are okay with the whole < private but not secret > kind of relationship Kylian wants.
You want to be able to go out and have fun with him at clubs and not be locked in the vip room away from the other people at the club.
You wanted to be able to go to the movies and not have to rent the movie or a whole cinema room for the two of you.
Or maybe be able to not feel like you are doing something wrong when you post about him on your Instagram stories.
You also know that being with him meant not doing a lot of "normal" things that common people do on a daily basis.
Or normal couples, like going to the park to spend a quiet time, you can't go to the mall and just shop around or have a meal without having dozens of people and paparazzi outside, waiting for him.
Sometimes you just want to be able to act like a normal couple and to be seen as something more than just the girl he's hiding.
Not the first time people called you that.
Not the first time people acted as if you were a gold digger who's about to baby trap him into giving you his fortune.
You have accepted that people are going to tell you that.
What you can't seem to accept is that he prefers for you to endorse the comments, hate, and critics over him issuing a statement for people to leave you alone and to stop the comments.
You make yourself believe that is because he's trying to show that others have no power over his private life.
But he has defended different things about that same private life.
Why can't he defend you like that?
You can barely concentrate during the interviews, making general questions instead of the ones you wrote on your notes.
Some of your teammates asked you if you were okay, worried about you looking so down. You blame it on probably coming with a cold.
Your boss told you that you could skip the next game. He didn't want you to work sick and coming with something worse than the cold.
You checked and noticed that the next game you were scheduled for was a Real Sociedad game in five days. This means that you are able to watch the Real Madrid game.
You feel happy, you weren't working and your boyfriend was playing. You will finally be able to see him play as his girlfriend and not as the reporter in the corner of the field.
You can't wait!
You enter your home happy and excited to share the news with Kylian. You left your bag and notebook in the entrance as you walk upstairs to find him.
Melissa and lana were back in Paris, meaning that the only person in the house apart from your boyfriend was Bryce.
"Bonjour!" You say, smiling at him.
He was on his phone, putting it aside when you walked inside. "Bonjour, amour." He says, opening his arms to you.
You close the door behind you and run to the bed. You jump carefully into his arms. "I missed you."
He chuckles, kissing your cheeks. "You saw me a few hours ago."
"I know." You say dramatically, sighing. "But I missed you all day long."
He grabs the back of your neck, bringing you closer. His lips crashed with yours, starting a kiss.
You let it happen for a while, relaxing into his arms. You almost forget about the news you want to share with him.
"Stop." You say between kisses. "I have to tell you something."
"Can it wait?" He asks before going back to your lips.
You shake your head no, "it's good news." You smile, placing your hands on each side of his head and lifting yourself. Now you are siting on top of him.
He places his hands behind his head. "Okay, go on." He says with a smirk on his face.
"My boss gave me good news." You start.
"You are getting promoted?" He asks, teasing you.
"No, I don't think we can get promoted here." You say. "Okay, so the news are-"
"You are covering the next clásico?"
"Well." You think for a second. "They don't even think about the next clásico yet. But, I wanted to say-"
"I'm thinking about the next clásico." He says, almost laughing at your desperation.
He knows that you love to say the good news quickly, so he loves to tease you and interrupt you as much as he can with questions.
"Kylian! Let me spit it out."
"Oh, pardon." He chuckles. "I just thought you like to swallow."
You can't help but blush. "I'm not reacting to that." You say. "I-"
"Oh, amour." He laughs. "Those rosy cheeks already did." He takes on hand from behind his head to your face, squishing your cheeks.
You take his hand into yours. "Let me finish!" You whine. He laughs and nods. "My boss gave me a few days off, meaning I can come to your next game!"
You don't seem to catch it, but his smile fades a little. "Oh, really?"
"Si!" You say. "Aren't you happy?" You ask.
He nods, a lip smile on his face. "I just thought that you might want to relax. You know how tiring games are."
You shake your head no. "I can take it." You say, leaning down to give him a kiss. "I want to see my champ play." You smile at him.
"Are you sure?"
You think he's just teasing you, not giving it mind that deep down, he hopes that you say that he's right and that you'll stay home.
"I mean, I'll need a jersey because I don't know where mine is, but other than that, yes."
He sighs. "I'll get you one tomorrow, I'll also ask for them to give me another ticket."
The tone was flat, not a single drop of excitement. You catch a little bit of that.
"You okay?" You ask, frowning a little.
He nods. "Want me to make you a sandwich?" He asks, changing the subject.
"Mmm, with extra cheese?" You ask.
"With extra love, bébé." He says, using one arm to lift himself with you still in top of him. "Love you."
"I love you more." You kiss him. "Very very much." You smile.

"Do you like it?" You ask him, waiting patiently for his answer.
He shakes his head. "Honestly. No, I don't." He says. Your smile drops, and you are about to get worried, but the way his lips curve in a smile. "I love it."
You smile, giving him a hug. "I made it with so much love." You say, grabbing his face and giving him a kiss.
"You are going to make me fat, a very loved fat footballer." He laughs, pecking your lips. "Did you enjoy the game?" He asks, kissing your forehead.
"I did." You nod, hugging him tighter. "You did amazing, champ." You smile. "I love seeing you play."
You let Kylian finish the food, still hugging him. You let him take his time with the food, and you yourself take some time to carefully caress his face.
You are so I'm love with that man.
"You are an amazing chef." He smiles, his nose bumping yours. "Want to go upstairs and watch your show?" He asks.
You nod, smiling like crazy.
"You have that early meeting tomorrow?"
"Noup, tomorrow is still free." You smile, grabbing the plate and walking to the sink, leaving the plate there. "Why?"
He hugs you from behing, his lips kissing behind your ear. "I just want to spend some time with you?"

kykswifu9 I need her and kylian to post something together 😭❤️
jude5vini7 I think kylian mentioned before that he wants to keep his relationship away from the media because of how some fans criticize other players' girlfriends or wives
madridgirl23 @jude5vini7 I mean it makes sense 🤷🏻♀️ look at how people react to other players posting their partners, better be safe
You walked back inside the house, it was still early. You had an early game, and you are able to rest before dinner.
"Ky! Are you home?" You ask, leaving your belongings on the table next to the door.
You take the phone out of your purse, you notice that there was no text from Kylian other than the one where he asked you something.
You call him, trying to see if he was maybe out with a friend or up in the bedroom. You got into voice mail, deciding to ring him another time.
You walk into the kitchen, hungry for something sweet. You find the lady who helps you with the cleaning there.
"Hi!" You say to her. "You are here late. Is everything okay?"
She nods. "I was waiting for you." She answers.
"You are so sweet for waiting," you smile at her. "Do you happen to know where Kylian is?"
She nods again. "He left with Mister Tchaga to maybe somewhere important because he was very elegant dressed."
You frown a little bit, he never talked about any gala or anything like that, he even asked you if you wanted take out for dinner earlier in the morning. Maybe she was confused and they went to a party or something last minute.
"Mister Mbappe told his friend that you didn't feel well. Even asked me to wait for you to see if you feel sick when you return from work."
You feel more confused than before. Why would he lie about you? If he thinks that you are not well, maybe he should have asked you directly.
"If you want me to, I can prepare you something." She offers. "I know some remedies my mother used to give my brothers and me. Very effective."
You smile at her. "Gracias, I'll see how my night goes, and if I still feel sick in the morning, I'll let you know."
She nods, saying goodbye to you. You excuse yourself and walk upstairs. You open the door to your shared room and notice two suits.
One was thrown in the bed, and the other one was on the chair next to your bed. You can't help the confusing thoughts.
Did he mention the event?
Did you forget about it?
Did you say no?
You open X, trying to see if you can find any info about what this. It didn't take you that much work because as soon as the app loads, you find a tweet of a fan page.
It was a football gala for The Best. They were getting an invitation because they were getting some kind of awards there and also on the field.
Most of the players, if not all of the ones who have a partner, brought their partner. They were all posing for the cameras.
You feel hurt.
Kylian didn't even care about asking you.
Yes, you had work, but asking wouldn't take more than a few seconds. Plus, the game was at two pm. You stayed more than you should in the stadium because you were free.
If he asked you about it, you could have asked someone to cover for you or left right after the game.
You try to ignore the crying sensation. You need to talk about it with him. Maybe it was a big misunderstanding. Maybe you are exaggerating.
You take a shower, washing the stress you are feeling away. The hot water makes you relax, clear your mind from the names you want to call Kylian.
You do your normal routine. You want to be clean for bed, even tho there was still a long wait before bed, you wanted to rest.
You turn on your favorite show, watching some episodes. But you ended up disassociating into your own thoughts.
You took a little nap, trying to calm your mind from the noise. As people say, a good nap can fix everything.
You wake up, noticing the sun wasn't there anymore, you check your phone and noticed you have a few texts, it was the chauffeur. He sent you a few texts letting you know that he picked food for you per Kylian's request.
You thank him. Leaving the comfort of your sheets and walking downstairs to pick it up. You check the time on your phone 8:17 pm.
You overslept, you originally wanted an hour nap or so, but you don't have to be mad at the rest cause it felt amazing.
You open the bag, checking that it has your favorite food inside, you may be mad at Kylian, but he kind of won the privilege of not getting 1 of the 20 names you have ready for him.
You decide to eat in the kitchen, not wanting to get your sheets dirty. You seat on the big table he picked for the house.
Maybe it's your anger, maybe it's the disappointment, maybe it's just the fact that you now notice things.
But one thing you never noticed was how alone you were in that big cold house.
You had to eat alone most of the times, you have to wake up alone most of the days, you have to sleep alone because he was out or late training in the gym.
You never really made mind of how much it bothered you. Maybe because as you said "it's because he's not a normal person."
You finish the food, taking the containers to the trash. You wash the fork and knife you used, wanting to leave the kitchen as clean as it was before.
You were drying your hands when you hear the front door. You stayed quiet, not wanting to face him when you know Bryce was with him.
They talk a little bit, you can even hear Bryce ask if he knows how you feel.
Mad.
That's how you feel.
You hear them move upstairs, you wait a little bit more, wanting for Bryce to get into the guest room.
When you hear both door closing it when you know you have to get upstairs. You open the door, watching him get out of the closet.
"Hey!" He smiles. "I was looking for you."
You humm, walking to the bathroom and brushing your teeth. You take a few breathes before walking back to the room and get into the covers.
You wait for him to finish his routine. He was happy, you can tell ny the big smile on his face and how he was humming a song.
Before he could reach the sheets with his hand, you talk.
"How was the gala?" You ask, a very monotone voice.
"Amazing, very simple but kind of long." He answers as if nothing is wrong. "How was the game?"
"Why did you tell Bryce that I was sick?" You ask, not answering his question. "Not only I'm not sick but also I'm very mad at the fact that you lied!"
You try to keep your composure. You don't want to yell, you don't want to fight, you just want an explanation.
He stayed quiet, looking at you with a blank expression on his face.
"You are suddenly voiceless?" You ask. "You never told me about any gala, I had to find out via social media what it was." You continue.
"I did." He says.
"Don't." You say with a very stern tone. "You didn't, and you know it."
"I did." He repeats. "You probably didn't pay attention."
"Okay, when did you tell me?" You ask him, trying to prove a point.
"Why are you acting like this?" He asks, rolling his eyes. "I had an amazing day, can you drop it?"
"No, I can't. When did you asked me?"
He hides his face into his hands. "God, you can be annoying." He shout. "Probably like two weeks ago."
"Lies!" You shout back. "I was in Sevilla."
"Then when you came back!"
"You were in Valencia." You say. "You didn't tell me. And that doesn't even matter, what matter here is that you could've told me < Hey, y/n I forgot to tell you about this event, sorry about it> But no, you lie to me and you told your friends and even our maid that I was sick!"
He doesn't answer.
"Why?" You ask. "Why are you doing this?"
He shrug, not putting a little bit of care into it.
"Have you ever noticed that you never took me to any of your galas?" You ask, the sadness in your voice is evident. "Kylian, what is wrong? Talk to me!"
He rolls his eyes again, grabbing the pillow. He was trying to get out of the situation by leaving the room.
"Where are you going?" You ask, throwing the sheets off of you. "You are not leaving until we are done with this conversation, sir." You warn him.
You take the pillow away out of his hands. "Stop that." He says.
"I will, once you and I have a talk." You say, throwing the pillow back on the bed. "I can't keep pretending that everything is fine."
"You don't have to!" He yells. "We are fine."
"How are we fine?" You yell back, not caring about his friend or anything else. "Kylian, you are doing this on purpose."
"You are crazy." He says, walking into the bathroom. He slams the door, leaving you alone. "You are losing your mind!" He yells again.
You try to calm down, you need to have a serious conversation with him, and screaming won't get you to it.
You wait for him to get out of the bathroom. When he sees that you are not giving up, he groans.
"Can you not?" He asks. "You ruined my night."
The way his voice soundes so dark makes you shiver. He didn't even care that what he's doing is hurting you.
"I can say the same thing to you." You say with the same tone. "We can resolve this if you just tell me what the fuck is going on!"
"What do you want me to say?" He asks.
You shake your head. "The truth!"
"I haven't even noticed that you never came to one of my galas, maybe because you are not the center of my focus and attention."
That hurts.
"Okay," you nod. "I just want to know if this is going to continue, because I'm honestly so tired of this shit."
He shakes his head. "I don't know, are you going to keep acting this way?"
"Why am I being blamed?" You ask, angry at his attitude. "Kylian, you are the one who wanted this relationship to be off camera. Yes, I agreed. But I never agreed to being toss aside like if I'm not worth a shit."
You feel your eyes getting teary, you don't want him to say that you are creating a drama or anything. So you clean them quickly.
"I love you," you say to him. "Don't you love me like I do?"
He stays quiet, letting the minutes pass.
You never thought the silence can become so loud to the point that it feels like screams. You understood so much with that passive agressive action.
"Are you ashamed of me?" You ask. "I mean, you meet me as a reporter and you asked me to be your girlfriend when I was working as a reporter. So maybe I'm lost, but I don't get when we got to this point."
"I asked you to leave your work and come with me to Madrid." He says. "But you told me that you wanted to keep working on the media and even suggested a long distance relationship."
"Because I love my job, Kylian." You answer. "Is that a problem? You knew that I wasn't someone who was going to sit around and wait for you to come home with a fresh cooked meal and some fresh ironed clothes."
"Couldn't you just sacrifice something for me?" He asks. "I mean, you have everything here! You have a maid, look at this house and you don't even need to pay anything, not a single bill."
"So you wanted me to just leave my work and become your stay at home girlfriend?" You ask. "Would that be better? Would you be prouder of me?"
"Maybe" He says. The tone of honesty is what hurted the most.
"I worked my ass off since college to get where I am." You began. "Yes, you got me this job, and thank you for that. But if the price I have to pay is that you feel like I'm not good enough, then maybe I do have to change!" You say.
He nods, walking over to you. "I promise you that everything will be worth it." He says, smiling at your quick comprehension. "I'll give you everything you want."
You take a few steps back. "I don't think you understand." You say.
"quoi?"He asks, confused.
"Kylian, I'm not changing my job." You chuckle.
Maybe it was the pain turning into a laughing situation. Maybe it was a coping mechanism.
"Then what are you changing?" He asks, still confused.
"You." You say, smiling a little. "We are done."

Preparations
THE journals of the day which said that that nearly impregnable structure of the barricade of the Rue de la Chanvrerie, as they call it, reached to the level of the first floor, were mistaken. The fact is, that it did not exceed an average height of six or seven feet. It was built in such a manner that the combatants could, at their will, either disappear behind it or dominate the barrier and even scale its crest by means of a quadruple row of paving-stones placed on top of each other and arranged as steps in the interior. On the outside, the front of the barricade, composed of piles of paving-stones and casks bound together by beams and planks, which were entangled in the wheels of Anceau's dray and of the overturned omnibus, had a bristling and inextricable aspect.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/bebed8df89559b98e52a966f1c94ff5d/41894485d07c02a7-dd/s540x810/f0637d45f89e21a4e1d15939273296559d89364f.jpg)
An aperture large enough to allow a man to pass through had been made between the wall of the houses and the extremity of the barricade which was furthest from the wine-shop, so that an exit was possible at this point. The pole of the omnibus was placed upright and held up with ropes, and a red flag, fastened to this pole, floated over the barricade.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/db5d86a36ca6eea2dc70cdbdf98bba93/41894485d07c02a7-b6/s540x810/904e39bc73874c3aef04148c74fb9b87945eb4ae.jpg)
The little Mondétour barricade, hidden behind the wine-shop building, was not visible. The two barricades united formed a veritable redoubt. Enjolras and Courfeyrac had not thought fit to barricade the other fragment of the Rue Mondétour which opens through the Rue des Prêcheurs an issue into the Halles, wishing, no doubt, to preserve a possible communication with the outside, and not entertaining much fear of an attack through the dangerous and difficult street of the Rue des Prêcheurs.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/cada4eafa5fa2bc8518b41cb5e33be3a/41894485d07c02a7-1f/s540x810/00748cb6bb07c25c77d72f01d450cdcfccaef0ab.jpg)
With the exception of this issue which was left free, and which constituted what Folard in his strategical style would have termed a branch, and taking into account, also, the narrow cutting arranged on the Rue de la Chanvrerie, the interior of the barricade, where the wine-shop formed a salient angle, presented an irregular square, closed on all sides. There existed an interval of twenty paces between the grand barrier and the lofty houses which formed the background of the street, so that one might say that the barricade rested on these houses, all inhabited, but closed from top to bottom.
All this work was performed without any hindrance, in less than an hour, and without this handful of bold men seeing a single bear-skin cap or a single bayonet make their appearance. The very bourgeois who still ventured at this hour of riot to enter the Rue Saint-Denis, cast a glance at the Rue de la Chanvrerie, caught sight of the barricade, and redoubled their pace.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/0cfab8cc82725bc906cdce0705542961/41894485d07c02a7-e9/s540x810/e31516a238881f4b5dc3aeae37110820f9b217fb.jpg)
The two barricades being finished, and the flag run up, a table was dragged out of the wine-shop; and Courfeyrac mounted on the table.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/422a2be28cc7e517be1436d434f86c23/41894485d07c02a7-68/s540x810/f71fd3fcc7e6e40c34f10b1c133628ebe8b1b58e.jpg)
Enjolras brought the square coffer, and Courfeyrac opened it. This coffer was filled with cartridges. When the mob saw the cartridges, a tremor ran through the bravest, and a momentary silence ensued.
Courfeyrac distributed them with a smile.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/3f07edf007eda7ee270f627edc46416c/41894485d07c02a7-19/s540x810/54aef099b087bde014669f1c3d65cdb2cb99a944.jpg)
Each one received thirty cartridges. Many had powder, and set about making others with the bullets which they had run.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/f0ffdaec55402d1c85f9dca05c93813f/41894485d07c02a7-b0/s540x810/171469787f106935269720319704a8b0bf6c6471.jpg)
As for the barrel of powder, it stood on a table on one side, near the door, and was held in reserve.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/f9cac7e2a960befdc1c7e4ec739876c7/41894485d07c02a7-de/s540x810/32c33e5c260167d92ec124d7c373b5aa075c8d42.jpg)
The alarm beat which ran through all Paris, did not cease, but it had finally come to be nothing more than a monotonous noise to which they no longer paid any attention. This noise retreated at times, and again drew near, with melancholy undulations.
They loaded the guns and carbines, all together, without haste, with solemn gravity. Enjolras went and stationed three sentinels outside the barricades, one in the Rue de la Chanvrerie, the second in the Rue des Prêcheurs, the third at the corner of the Rue de la Petite Truanderie.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/73c4e9b1f69b2b7b71be40048f56f303/41894485d07c02a7-56/s540x810/ed240d20af9a6cb1b208950e46fc18663e27a059.jpg)
Then, the barricades having been built, the posts assigned, the guns loaded, the sentinels stationed, they waited, alone in those redoubtable streets through which no one passed any longer, surrounded by those dumb houses which seemed dead and in which no human movement palpitated, enveloped in the deepening shades of twilight which was drawing on, in the midst of that silence through which something could be felt advancing, and which had about it something tragic and terrifying, isolated, armed, determined, and tranquil.

Halloween is making me think of Top Gun Maverick Horror Movie AUs and now I wish I could actual write because I think some of them have promise!
My mind is currently obsessed with:
A Hocus Pocus Hangster Story where Jake is Binx (because who else can pull off that sassy black cat energy) and Bradley is the idiot that lights the candle (maybe you have to have a tarnish soul- taken a life- in order to bring them back instead of the virgin storyline).
A House of Wax Hannix Story (a la 2005 version with Paris Hilton) with the Daggers, Jake and Javy going on a road trip to a college football game but becoming victims to a sadistic town not quite what it seems. Natasha begins the story dating a broody, bad at communication Rooster but if you're familar with the movie you know things don't end well for a lot of characters- sorry Rooster fans....
A Vampire Story where the Daggers are in the running for a new mission but this one involves taking off and landing on a carrier at night. The Navy brings in another team called the Nocturnals, an elite squadron known for their night raids, and who Fanboy might be convinced are actually vampires!
My Ghost Whisperer Story which I shared before: Goose is given the chance to go down to Earth to try and stop his son and his best friend from dying in a suicide mission. The only problem: he can only communicate through his son's sworn enemy, one Jake Hangman Seresin. Can he save his family or are some bridges too far burned to fix?
Final Destination AU- Also talked about before but Jake gets a vision before the mission of everything going wrong and the whole team dying. He freaks out and tries to stop the launch but the others think he is just jealous for not being picked. As punches start getting thrown, Admiral Simpson has no choice but to launch the Dagger Reserves, and suddenly everything Jake predicted starts to come true. Crushed with guilt, Hangman must deal with the suspicion of his teammates and his country while trying to save everyone from Death's remade design.
So yeahhhhhh that's where my head is at! Would love to hear people's thoughts on it.

Musical Songs I Think The Boys™ Would Do a Burlesque Number To
*obviously these are only ones I've listened to, I wasn't a theater kid and don't really know much about plays and musicals, please don't be weird or mean in the notes 😭 and YES as a huge ABBA fan I know all the songs in Mamma Mia are just ABBA songs*
also this is way longer than I intended so there's more under the cut
Solos
Astarion - "Sweet Transvestite" from Rocky Horror Picture Show
this one is pretty obvious and expected but like !!! yeah !!! that's just him !!! he'd do the full routine, coming up in the elevator, throwing the cloak off to reveal the slutty lil outfit he has on underneath, throwing his drink at the audience while Gale Brad is talking, lounging on the throne, and then leaving mysteriously in the elevator OH BABY !!!
Wyll - "Land of Lola" from Kinky Boots
he would absolutely slay this routine, the lyrics are practically about him - "with arms as hard as steel" "with the moves of Fred Astaire" "I'm black jesus, I'm black mary, but this mary's legs are hairy" ??? I need this man to absolutely let loose and I NEED to see him in those cunty thigh high boots 👏 RED 👏 IS 👏 HIS 👏 COLOR !!!!
Gale - "Toucha Toucha Touch Me" from Rocky Horror Picture Show
I honestly just think he'd be really good at playing the part of the "innocent shy reserved man who does a complete 180 after being exposed to pure unbridled sexuality"; we all know he's not actually like that it's fully an act because he knows he has the looks of a tired english professor but the soul of a whore I just- you don't know how badly I need to see him doing a slightly desperate unhinged strip tease on stage on a garrish four poster bed OKAY ?!?!
Halsin - "Toxic Love" from Ferngully
I need him in his pretend villain era, I think he'd be cartoony like if he's gonna work a stage he's gonna werk a stage m'kay; he is actually using this performance to raise awareness about the climate crisis and donate the money he makes towards more accessible clean energy and environmental conservation efforts and would love to provide more info and resources while still in his g-string to all interested parties in the lobby of the venue
Duets
Astarion & Gale - "Planet Schmanet Janet" from Rocky Horror Picture Show
Astarion as Dr. Frank N. Furter, Gale as Janet; we all know this is a trademark Astarion ruse to get to chase a scantily clad Gale around menacingly and torment him in front of an audience, I mean c'mon who wouldn't want to do that 👀
Astarion & Wyll - "Does Your Mother Know?" from Mamma Mia
Astarion as Tanya, Wyll as Pepper (I had to look that up apparently his name is Pepper); I feel like Astarion would identify with Tanya on a spiritual level, they're both wine aunt cougars who love luxury, and after seeing that Wyllstarion interaction where they flirtatiously talk about their age gap this song just really is about them huh
Astarion & Halsin - "I Can Make You a Man" + "I Can Make You a Man (Reprise)" from Rocky Horror Picture Show
Astarion as Dr. Frank N. Furter, Halsin as Rocky; tbh this is just so Astarion can show off the "bounty of nature's gifts" that have been bestowed upon him and Halsin just finds how this twink is climbing him and swinging on his outstretched arm like a jungle gym too amusing to not participate
Gale & Wyll - "Horny Angry Tango" from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
either of them in either role; this is purely for the theatrics and to show off their actual ballroom dance skills, Gale is going to be the one getting dipped though
Gale & Halsin - "La Seine" from A Monster In Paris
Gale as Lucille, Halsin as Francoeur; I can't lie it's purely for the height difference that's totally canon and I didn't make up in my head, the contrast between Gale "Lil 5'8" Wizard" Dekarios and Halsin "The 6'5" Bear" Silverbough is just *chef kiss* 👌
Wyll & Halsin - "Lay All Your Love On Me" from Mamma Mia
either of them in either role; they're lowkey almost fucking on stage, Wyll chose it for the drama and Halsin went along for the overtly sexual choreography
Group Numbers
"Lady Marmalade" from Moulin Rouge
Astarion's favorite and Halsin's least favorite for the same reason: it's extremely flashy and dramatic
"Rose Tint My World" which transitions into "Don't Dream It" from Rocky Horror Picture Show
Astarion as Janet for "RTMW" but Frank for "DDI", Wyll as Columbia, Halsin as Rocky, Gale as Brad, with special guest Elminster as Dr. Scott during "Don't Dream It"
"Haus of Holbein" from SIX
tbh I don't have an explanation for this one I've really only listened to the corsets part and think it's kinda cunt, idk they'd all slay in corsets
"Big Spender" from Sweet Charity
ok just imagine any of them doing Fosse choreography
"Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)" from Mamma Mia
ok just imagine there's stripper poles-
"Cell Block Tango" from Chicago
with special guests Minsc and Volo; no one knows how they got here, Minsc is a bit too uncoordinated but he's got the spirit and Volo was recording everything from the audience for research purposes but saw they were short a character and thought to himself "what better way to learn than through participation?"

La Mode nationale, no. 8, 20 février 1904, Paris. Toilette élégante pour jeune femme. Bibliothèque nationale de France
Jolie toilette de demi-saison pour jeune femme en drap satin d'une nuance mordorée claire et avantageuse au teint. La jupe est à plis assez petits autour de la taille; le devant étroit est réservé plat. Un volant froncé, coupé de hauts bouillonnés, donne au bas de la jupe une belle ampleur. Un de ces bouillonnés sert de tête, un autre de bordure. Le corsage, serré dans une haute ceinture en forme et bouillonné, est décolleté en rond sur en empiècement de guipure. Il s'orne de larges biais et, de chaque côté, de deux rosettes en ruban de satin simple; devant, un petit volant et des boutons soulignent la fermeture. La manche se compose de volants dentelés bordés de petits volants; elle se termine en fourreau serré. Cravate de velours vert.
Pretty mid-season ensemble for young women in satin sheet in a light golden shade that is flattering on the complexion. The skirt has fairly small pleats around the waist; the narrow front is reserved flat. A gathered flounce, cut from bubbled tops, gives the bottom of the skirt a nice fullness. One of these bubbles serves as a head, another as a border. The bodice, tightened in a high shaped and bubbled belt, has a round neckline with a guipure yoke. It is decorated with wide bias and, on each side, with two rosettes in simple satin ribbon; in front, a small ruffle and buttons highlight the closure. The sleeve consists of jagged ruffles edged with small ruffles; it ends in a tight sheath. Green velvet tie.
Matériaux: 6m,50 de drap.
Grande capeline de taffetas tendu garni d'une guirlande de nœud de panne verte et traversée d'une longue plume mordorée.
Large stretched taffeta hat trimmed with a garland of green pin knot and crossed with a long golden feather.

Propaganda for Michel Ney:
This man. THIS MAN HAD SO MUCH CHARACTER. HE’S LITERALLY THE KIND OF MAN THAT INSPIRES GOOD FICTIONAL CHARACTERS NGL!! Since he’s up against a british person, here is a description of him by the Times of London:
“... his name rendered illustrious by 25 years of eminent services and brilliant exploits, was dear to the country, and even the enemies of France admired in him the character of the Great Captain. All allowed him to possess as much generosity of sentiment as bravery and skill at the head of armies. No trait of weakness, adulation or rapacity, had ever cast shade over his loyalty and military virtues. His sole defect seemed to be a certain vehemence of character and expression, which rendered him little suited to public affairs.”
And his death was so tragic. In Waterloo, he had made a fatal mistake with the cavalry, and he decides here that he will die. We don’t know exactly what happened here. Did he have so much PTSD from russia and years of war that he made such a stupid mistake (AA ALSO AFTER the disaster of russia campaign he isolated himself so much. Poor man🥺)? But one thing’s for sure, this man wasn’t a coward. The Bravest of the Brave was not a man who’d mess up in the war and just run away. On those grassy fields, Ney tried everything to get his men’s attention and when all hope seemed lost he shouted in the faces of the enemies “See how a marshal of France meets his death!” It seems in that moment his greatest want was to be killed by english bullets. But Victor Hugo recounts this and adds the ironic line of “Unhappy man, thou wert reserved for French bullets!”
…😭😭😭😭ISN’T THAT JUST…. SO POETIC AND TRAGIC?????
AND DON’T EVEN. DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON HOW HE DIED!!!!
This man sobs afterwords he gets tried for treason against france basically for siding with Napoleon. But with how unfairly they zero-in on ney’s wrong doings, this was a blood sacrifice. To help him, his lawyer reasoned that the place Ney was born from technically was no longer french, since it has been annexed by Prussia from the 1815 treaty of paris…
But this guy. OH nOnoNonononononoNO, this red-haired, lion-looking, emotional honor-filled patriot has the audacity to interrupt his defender and say loudly without the slightest doubt or hesitation "I am French and I will remain French!"
….
Come on. COME ON!!!! How stupid is he???!! How idiotic!! He just closed another door to survival because of what??
because of honor….. Wow, can you imagine that? He has given everything all his years of service, all his years of being a husband, a father, a son, all his years of rest and peace of mind to France. He has done so much, and even when…EVEN WHEN FRANCE SLAPS HIM ACROSS THE FACE AND SAYS “you traitor” He shouts back “I am French and I will remain French!” aaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA OMG….. what the hek…who is this man????
So he is executed as a traitor. There are different versions of his death but here are a few:
By Rochechouart:
“He [Ney], of course, refused to kneel down and be blind-folded; he merely asked the Commandant Saint-Bias to show him where he should stand. He stood facing the platoon, who held their guns ready to fire. Then, in an attitude I shall never forget, it was so noble, calm and dignified, without bravado, he took off his hat, and availing himself of the moment when the Adjutant stepped aside and gave the signal to fire, he said these words, which I distinctly heard: Frenchmen, I protest against my sentence; my honour..." As he said these words he placed his hand on his heart; the volley was fired, and he fell. A rolling of drums, and the shout of "Vive le Roi" from the surrounding troops closed the mournful ceremony.”
Such a death made a deep impression on me, and turning to Auguste de la Rochejaquelein, Colonel of the Grenadiers, who was beside me, and who, like me, deplored the death of the bravest of the brave, I said: ‘There, my dear friend, is a lesson how to die.’”
By M. Laisne:
“He [Ney] took some steps, removed his hat, and in a loud and clear voice: ‘I protest,’ he said ‘before heaven and mankind, that the judgment that condemns me is iniquitous; I appeal from it to Europe and to posterity’ …. Before these words there was presented to him a handkerchief to bandage his eyes. He answered with exaltation, ‘do you not know that a soldier does not fear death.’ He advanced again four paces, laying his hand on his heart and said to the soldiers: ‘Do your duty. It is there that you must hit, do not miss me.’ Instantly he fell dead.”
And finally a very close person to him, Ida Saint-Elme:
“Ney got out of the carriage. He was wearing civilian clothes: a long dark coat, a white necktie, black breeches and stockings, a tall beaver hat with curved brim. He uncovered. His slightly raised head showed that his face wore a tranquil expression. He looked first to the right and then to the left. He caught sight of me. Then, as though fearing to compromise his faithful friends by the least sign of recognition, he bent his brow downward a trifle.”
“He walked on with firm step. At that instant I discerned through the mist, in the centre of the square of troops, and standing out from the dark background of the wall, the firing squad. I tried to rush forward. Belloc pulled me back, and forced me into the cab.”
“Then I dropped weakly upon the seat. A few minutes elapsed, each a whole century long. Then I heard a sharp report. I went into a dead faint."
His death is so tragic and amazing. It really shows out his character and was the initial thing that got me interested in him as a person. Anyways, basically, this dude is such a tragic glory-lover but also very heroic and inspiring.
So therefore HE ISS SEXY GO VOTE FOR NEY!!!

Mini post on Babeuf’s opinion of Lazare Carnot at the time of his final arrest, which led to his execution.
When Babeuf was arrested, he harbored an unrelenting hatred for Grisel, just like Buonarroti, referring to him as a "traitor," "infamous," and "Judas-Grisel," as well as the Minister of Police, Cochon. However, strangely, Carnot, who had been the spearhead of the repression against the Babouvists is spared from Babeuf's criticism as a whole (even if Babeuf reserves some severe judgments for him) , is contrasted with Barras, who had reservations about the arrest of the Babouvists (one of the few qualities of Barras that I acknowledge). Indeed, Gracchus Babeuf accuses Lazare Carnot in these terms: "How do you conceive that he could have done this for the Sans-Culottes, a piece so filled with art, wit, and logic? What would you say if it seemed to you that it was not Grisel or Minister Cochon, but rather Director Carnot, who conceived these ingenious methods of luring the most ardent Republicans into horrible traps in order to be in a position to sacrifice them, and then use that as a means to scare off all those who, with their religions, would take advantage of it to pronounce their general and definitive proscription and bury the Republic?"
Babeuf even implies that some documents seized from his home might have been tampered with while they were "in Carnot’s hands." But, overall, Babeuf spares Carnot during his final trial, which would lead to his death. In his general defense, he invokes a "Saint Bartholomew’s Day of patriots" being prepared by the royalists, and the proscription of republican values. Babeuf never directly mentions Carnot’s particular responsibility.
An interesting fact: after the affair at the Grenelle camp and the condemnation of the Babouvists (especially since Babeuf endured a particularly grueling imprisonment, being transferred in cages set up on carts, while his wife, eight months pregnant, decided to walk alongside him to offer support and attempt to free him), public opinion was stirred by this case. Afterward, according to Mazauric, Carnot, though conservative on many issues, slowed down the repressive zeal of Merlin. Merlin who will be one of the main targets of the star opponents of the Directory including Felix Le Peletier, survivor of the Babouvists and Victor Bach who addressed him in these terms "Yes, guilty as you may be, Reubell, Merlin, and all of you legislators , directors, or ministers who may be their accomplishments! I do not wish for your death, but rather that you be condemned to sweep the streets of Paris, dressed in those grand costumes that gave you the pride, greed, and cruelty of the kings you sought to imitate".
