A little warning!

Although it makes sense for a character to say 'put your keys between your knuckles as self defense', and it helps someone feel safe, there are a lot of people who have debunked this method. It's always safer to keep an assailant at a distance or to put something between you two like a car door, and take self defense lessons from a qualified professional.

My piece for @themiserablesmonth Day 20. Prompt: “Key” Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Les Misérables - Victor Hugo, Les Misérables - All Media Types Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: Rape/Non-Con Relationships: Grantaire & Éponine Thénardier, Montparnasse/Éponine Thénardier, Cosette Fauchelevent/Marius Pontmercy Characters: Éponine Thénardier, Grantaire (Les Misérables), Montparnasse (Les Misérables), Marius Pontmercy, Cosette Fauchelevent Additional Tags: Grantaire & Éponine Thénardier Friendship, Past Montparnasse/Éponine Thénardier, Best Friends, Grantaire was a boxer gymnast and dancer and skilled in the use of the singlestick, Modern AU Summary:

“When you go outside at night, you should always walk around with your keys sticking out of your fist, like this.” Grantaire picked up Éponine’s hand in hers and closed it around his house key, so that the metal tip protruded between her knuckles. “That way if you punch someone, the key stabs into them. You can defend yourself pretty okay that way, ’specially if I teach you how to box.”

Éponine chuckled and leaned forward on the sofa, rubbing her nose affectionately into Grantaire’s collarbone. Then she pulled back and flicked him on the forehead. “You haven’t boxed in years.”

“Yeah only ’cause I’ve taken up gymnastics, dancing, and fencing. Could teach you some useful self-defence skills from those too.” 

Éponine cocked an amused eyebrow. “Dancing? Self-defence?”

“Yep.” Grantaire nodded sagely. “With a well-placed jeté, you could totally knock someone out. Just deliver the kick to their face, you know?” 

*Re: Archive Warning, it isn’t rape, it’s sexual assault. It isn’t graphic or glorified. Despite that plot point, the fic is actually pretty happy/comforting.

Wanted to do a roundup post for all my @themiserablesmonth (thank you for organizing this, by the way!!) fics.

Hi!!!! I'm really super duper pleased with how this turned out! I tried to incorporate Courfeyrac's roundness and friendliness in this prompt. If he would be a shape he would be a yellow circle by the way. You can bet that he gives the best hugs in Les Amis.

THE MISERABLE(S) MONTH 2022 - DAY 13 - SUN

my initial thought process was: lets make Combeferre a fairy knight. I'm gonna make it very beetle-dragonfly themed. also i like how insects are glittery in the sun. okay so his armour is gonna iridescent.

my art process: and then I didnt.

(i tried. im sorry but i crammed this artwork in 3h, including planning and sketching. im trying my best to work around my annoyingly filled schedule, but unfortunately i have many many things to do this week, eg 3 of my friends birthdays are coming up in the same week!)

anyways i hope u enjoy fairy Combeferre with rose-tinted glasses ;D

Sometimes, creatures of the night don’t eat each other. Sometimes they… sit down and have a chat, because this other dangerous predator is the most fascinating thing you’ve ever seen.

Colored entirely (almost) with crayons because I didn’t want to lug four (4) kg worth of markers. And I’m REALLY happy with the result :D

(Jehan here is not a mermaid, he’s a vouivre / wyvern, a water spirit that tries to kill you if you try to steal the jewel on his head.)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE !!!

[image ID : Jehan and Montparnasse are sitting on a well, chatting. Jehan has sallow blue-ish skin, long copper hair, golden eyes and pointy teeth. There’s a red jewel on his forehead. He has fins above his ears, on his forearms and at his waist. His tail is blue and gold, and hangs down the well. Montparnasse, a white man with black sleaked hair, golden eyes and pointy teeth, is wearing a black three pieces suit with black boots, a white shirt and cravat, and a long black cape with a red lining. He’s talking animatedly to Jehan. There’s a small glass bowl with a candle beside them. They are surrounded by plants and foliage that looks like shadows. end ID]
