Summary
“I’m volunteering,” Enjolras tells him, feeling vaguely sheepish and wondering if he’ll get thrown out now, and if so, what will he tell Monsieur Valjean. He holds up his knife roll and apron as proof.
“Oh, are you now?” The man turns back to him with a smirk. “That’s just lovely. Community service, probably. Bet you don’t know a thing about food.”
Enjolras does not dignify this with a response. If this idiot doesn’t recognize him from the review in the Observer, he’s not going to spell it out. Instead, he turns away to tie on his apron and lay out his knives. “You won’t need those,” the man says behind him. “Not that I’d trust you to use them, anyway.” Enjolras grits his teeth and puts his paring knife on his steel, honing the already sharp blade. The rasping does nothing to drown out the mocking voice behind him. “Do you know how many people you could have fed with what those knives cost?”
Enjolras whirls, rage rising. “Do you know how many people I’ve fed with these knives?” he growls. “Do you know anything at all?”

Summary
It's this first week of re-adjustment that Enjolras dreads, the week full of odd glances in the hall and of subtle reprimands from teachers who look at him like he's suffered some sort of irreversible fall from grace.
Grantaire would love that. If anything about this situation is concerning, it's that he's firmly resisted the opportunity to make a comment about Enjolras's burned wings or cracked halo.

Summary
Local Jersey dockside lad Grantaire has made a life for himself off of his self discipline. He boxes. He competes in the local Lindy Hop circuit with his next door neighbor Eponine. His whole, comfortable life of fighting, dancing, drinking, lunch counters, and taking men into back alleyways after his performances gets thrown for a loop when a group of mostly Princeton students show up at a local bar and plot to change the direction of the country. He considers it his duty to disrupt their meetings with his smart mouth, and over the months that follow, he relishes in the frustration he wrings out of the Princeton boy leading the way. Will a bet on the boxing match between the Brown Bomber and Rocky Marciano change the course of their relationship? And more importantly, in the time of McCarthyism, is there also time for... love?
