It ought to be a crime that I was unaware of these Enjoltaire fanfics until last week

Part two of my WaR chapter art. :)

Once again a wonderful fic!!

Part 1 (Here)

[ofpd]

yes i would love an exr fic rec list ‼️

ok then here are some of my faves & why i like them! putting them in alphabetical order so i don't overthink the order lol

Beautiful & Good by @riotstarruika

possibly the only canon era fic i've read about enjolras and grantaire in a healthy & functional relationship—something that has to be earned in order to be realistic, and this fic earns very well. it explores both characters so interestingly and thoroughly and overall is so lovely to read.

epiphany by Abidatchery

i really love the specific ways in which they fail or refuse to communicate here, but slowly grow to see each other a bit better when forced to by circumstance. this fic also has such a distinct atmosphere that it's both about les amis & all of paris having a wild time, while it slowly focuses more on enjolras and grantaire as they start to be more in their own world with just each other.

Eyes to Serve, Hands to Learn by @myrmidryad

94k words about enjolras and grantaire doing bdsm in really interesting ways & developing their relationship! this fic is what really got me obsessed with exr bdsm & developed my thoughts about it a lot. also i like to refer to it as "enjolras is hot au" bc well he's so much hotter than the celibate & insane about sex & naturally blond enjolras we know from canon lmao

If Truth Is North by @lesamis

who doesn't love a road trip between two people whose thinking and communication styles are fundamentally deeply incompatible! this fic really gets at enjolras and grantaire's psyches in such interesting, nuanced, and insightful ways; they clash so perfectly but slowly begin to understand each other & help each other grow.

Into the Light by AnarchyLuvver69

ok so enjolras and grantaire only really see each other when they die......so what if they became ghosts & processed everything over the course of decades while watching over france

It's Not the Same Anymore by @shamedumpster

i love how much care this fic puts into all the characters and how it balances being quite heavy at times with being heartwarming and loving throughout. also despite its length i've read it over the course of just a couple days multiple times lmao

On the Path to Elysium by @thevagueambition

grantaire characterization of all time to me! he's so assholeish at times and depressed and dysfunctional but clearly deeply caring, especially towards his friends. also an impressively-researched exploration of canon era queerness and all the different ways that les amis relate to it.

Stages Of Light by fallingvoices

the thing about this fic is that it's crazyyy it has the kind of lack of communication between them that i love and the vibes are so off-putting in such a good way and overall well i just really love when authors are brave enough to make them really not work well together except maybe when it comes to sex

You never have to wonder; you never have to ask. by gamesformay

a fic about les amis surviving a modern au version of their failed rebellion and having to figure out what comes next, and enjolras and grantaire having to figure out what their relationship is after having thought for a moment they were going to die together. some really amazing vibes that give the impression that you're reading about a group of friends with real history together and catching a snippet of their lives in paris.

this is just a few of the fics i've really enjoyed; you can check out my bookmarks for more if you'd like!

[sanjiafterhours]

Oh you have fanTASTIC one piece opinions.

hnsjdh thanks

[koheletgirl]

atp the only reason i won't write the draft dodging au is that it has to be written in hebrew and i Will Not write fic in hebrew. anyway remember zionist enjolras?

[superstxrrr]

yall aint ready

[bagelbucket]

bold take we aren’t ready for is that people think they’re trans just because they don’t align with society’s “ideal” gender roles when in fact it’s just their personality. or because of internalized biphobia.

[elijah-loyal]

pov some old guy in the 1800s writing a book about political tensions and what it means to be a person, a part of the downtrod, somehow causing me to get into ted leo and the pharmacists

[protectcosette]

i know I'm a les mis blog but HOW did i forget how important enjolras is to me. HOW could i let such a thing happen

Part 1 of my chapter art for the wonderful fanfic ‘World aint ready’ by idiopathicsmile

Its a wonderful fanfic of a modern highschool au Grantaire/Enjolras, with some kickass themes such as overcoming bullying and finding yourself.

Part two is (here)

[daenystheedreamer]

ship that have most rotted my brain. Enjolras x grantaire from les mis. shippable twinks from the most insufferable fandom of the 21st century. do you permit it. like nisus and euryalus. like orestes and pylades. O and P. E and R. grantaire admired loved and venerated enjolras. light to the blind man. I WILL FOLLOW YOU INTO THE DARK. you dont believe in anything i belive in you. permets-tu?

[sugar-on-fries]

[jrueships]

sauce trying to befriend the popular twitch streamers and gamers is giving sheltered christian kid realizes their only hopes for friendship in school are the weird white boy reddit users who think slurs are comedy, and is just excited to have 'cool' friends so they'll do or say or get into anything their friends do to sound equally as smart just to be capable of saying (lying) that they have 'friends' to their mom when she asks about their day so their family doesn't think they poured all that money into a socially inept loser. instead, they poured all that money into a socially desperate parakeet
