Chapter 2 of "Even If There Are Monsters" Director's Commentary

I wrote a Les Mis × Dracula AU! You can find the commentary for Chapter 1 here.

Now onto Chapter 2!

Combeferre as the Dr. Seward-figure is kinda funny to me 😭 because I feel like they'd have HATED each other. And is a big reason why I didn't have a Renfield character either; not only would the Renfield side plot taken way too much time, but I also wholeheartedly believe that Combeferre would not have been an asylum director 😔. So a regular doctor he is!

Speaking of Combeferre, that implied One-sided Combeferre/Enjolras tag is a callback to Lucy's rejection of Dr. Seward. Didn't include the scene bc its fanfiction; readers would already be familiar with Combeferre’s personality! No need for any humiliation /lh. But for those curious in the lore of this AU, Combeferre had indeed confessed to Enjolras years ago, only to be kindly rejected. Clearly their friendship has not suffered, but Combeferre will always be a little fond of him. As we can see in the later chapters.

There's a lot of build-up around Enjolras's illness and his relationship with Grantaire, firstly bc yay exR ❤️ and secondly, I've always loved the parallel between Arthur/Lucy and Jonathan/Mina, and though both couples deserve happy endings, A/L was simply just the right person, not enough time trope 😔 and so I wanted to gun for this parallel even further by having exR and marisette go on the same "journey": one side of the couple suffering/missing, while the other is frantic with worry.

Anyone familiar with Dracula would also know I've completely mucked up the vampire lore/logic/timeline of the OG novel too. Well, with Renfield gone and me not wanting to basically regurgitate plot, I figured I'd just create my own vampire lore 😭 They can come in uninvited now apparently! Yay!

Prouvaire as the Van Helsing-figure also means that he is now their equal instead of a High Ranking Professor with Multiple PhDs Etc. Thus, he has a personal stake in the matter from the very beginning, making him hesitate when investigating bc surely his friend couldn't be going through what he thinks he's going through...right? And also makes for a great friendship with Cosette! I love writing the both of them together; they would have had tons of lovely conversations in canon 🫶 too bad they're left to face the Horrors here.

This was a shorter commentary than yesterday's but tbf, this chapter is quite short in generally. Was unsure where to cut it but decided to do so just before the next rising action (sleepwalking outdoors!) Hope you guys enjoyed nevertheless :D

Come and find the next chapter's commentary tmr!!

Mingi is actually yellow-orange-PINK?! So he didn't technically lie when he said his hair was pink, holy fucking shit I appreciate your dedication Mingi 😍 and Hwa had black hair for so long, now he's on the next level that I didn't know was achievable

Right Jennie we see you 😉 TASTE, but yes please change the passwords protect your photos like I protect Seonghwa pcs wkheisgdusueyehshs. Seriously someone sue them for invasion of privacy and possibly posting fake photos 😭

Lmao tbh all the HP ships were shit in retrospect, like I did not care for them at all. I remember reading Drarry and Dramione fanfiction when I was 12-14 though. Truly on that enemies to lovers shit

K-trauma oh no, not another one :////

I think some idols are in their stripteasers era, well good for them, but it's just...abs lmao WE GET ITTTTTT. How about you sing something good 😭😭😭😭

Wait pink tux??? You mean from that BTS cover or did I miss something? By BWY I meant Be With You btw soz for the confusion lolol. But agreed bring back the pink!

Yup we got a lot of black hair Hwa fics, and the white hair just fits better with the royal theme imo (and I'm biased too, but shhhh). I feel like he might be gone once you post that fic, so it's gonna be a bittersweet situation 💔 oh yeah I can imagine reader is gonna make him very IMPURE

Our Shawol and Exo-l Hwa <3 but omg this man is unable to listen to songs that aren't sentimental. I can't listen to most of his recommendations, because I'll be falling asleep or falling into depression 😅

The characters in Love in Contract are interesting, I love miss lady Min Young, she's serving. The cat hates Hae Jin, but loves the other lead, of course (a metaphor for him not getting the other Jamie perhaps 💔💔💔) udyhsjshehaha that man is a loser 🥰 ngl PMY and GKP characters are kinda cute together (though I don't get how she fell for him despite barely getting a word out of him for years lmao), but what is he hiding, hmmm. I bet it's a red herring, he can't be a psycho. His story seems sad... But why couldn't KJY get that role 😭 why does he have to be childhood reject... it's fine tho I'm gonna take the pathetic man <3333 at least he's funny and dumb and hot. And yes for the 🇨🇦 mention!

Me when Seonghwa's arms. CATBOYS

Thinking some delulu thoughts actually... I will not say a word tho

?????
