Oh gosh, Combeferre here is great--and her mansplaining older brother! How annoying. I am very interested to know how she died. Fitting Combeferre into the Actual French Revolution must be tricky, given all canon Combeferre's moral and ideological dilemmas. I love the backstory you sketch out for her. It seems just right for the character, which is a huge achievement given that we don't actually get anything of Combeferre's backstory in canon.
Courfeyrac is utterly charming, and the Javert note is intriguing, but I have to ask: is the Louison who went with Combeferre to the march on Versailles anything to do with canon Louison?
Yeah, canonical Combeferre and the French Revolution is a really complicated relationship. Combeferre, dude, you have set yourself a strange and difficult path. In some ways this Combeferre is a little bit easier because she's...unresolved, sort of? No Enjolras to commune with and all that.
Louison here was just a very very quick shout-out to the Louison of canon. She gets to be in the Revolution too, dammit!
