“...do you permit it?”

[Les Misérables!AU, in which Hanji gathers a group of students to conspire behind the king’s back and start a revolution to put an end to the extreme social inequality. Levi is the most cynical and pessimistic of the students and doesn’t believe in the revolution at all, however he attends all the meetings and takes great interest in Hanji, the leader of the group, though he is unwilling to even admit it to himself. Following the plot of the book, the revolution begins during the funeral of an important military officer, Hanji and the students wreak havoc among the crowd and built barricades in the streets using old furniture. The people do not rise with them and they are left alone the following day, with the guards coming to shut everything down and kill the rebels. Hanji gives one last speech, encouraging the loyal students, who didn’t leave despite the situation being hopeless, to fight til the end; “Let others rise to take our place until the earth is free”, using the lyrics from the musical. The students are killed, until Hanji is the only one left. Just as the guards are about to shoot her, Levi arrives. He did not participate in the battle, but he wants to die by her side. He asks for her permission and Hanji smiles and takes his hand. The guards shoot them, Hanji stands against the wall as if nailed there, only her head bowed, and Levi falls at her feet. Needless to say, Hanji is Enjolras, Levi is Grantaire]
