Summary
Javert turned slightly, preparing to leave.
But his feet refused to move. A flicker of memory stopped him - of one night of the past summer, at the barricade - that night something cracked within him, though he still couldn’t name it. Now, standing over the same man, he felt the fissure widen.
It was infuriating how the past refused to stay buried.
***
After the June rebellion, Javert makes an attempt to return to his normal life. Fate has other plans.

Summary
He had not looked at himself in years, not really. The water in the galleys showed only fragments: a distorted jaw, a shadow of eyes. He’d learned to know himself by other things: the ache in his wrists and ankles where the irons had bitten, the ever-present dull throb of hunger, the sound of his own heavy breathing in the dark.
He bent forward now, wary, as though the glass might break or bite. For a moment, he didn’t understand what he was looking at. And then he froze.
Or, Bishop Myriel gives Jean Valjean a bath and shows him what he looks like for the first time in nineteen years. Jean Valjean does not take it well.

Summary
Curse him. Curse his name and this supposed gift he’d given of life. Even Javert’s final thought, submerged willfully in the cold waters of the Seine, was littered with the remnants of Jean Valjean. Let him be free. Let the water wash away the curse inflicted on his soul. Let him die now, too tormented to wait in agony for a natural death, even if it meant the remainder of his soul would go to Lucifer’s domain. Let his eternal life be one of misery, as he deserved. Perhaps Valjean would meet him there, but Javert did not think it so.
Rescued from the Seine by a determinably anonymous benefactor, Inspector Javert struggles to cope with the consequences of being left alive.

Why Should I Save His Hide? by Spongyllama

Summary
He simply could not understand it. Javert was not letting him go; that was an impossibility. It was not within the man’s capabilities. It was not in his character. It was not among the list of things that he knew how to do. Javert was France’s most well-trained hunting dog. He did not give up the scent. He would not.
Yet he had left. A frown was etched deep into Jean Valjean’s face, and a moment later, he was wide awake.
.
A thoroughly deep examination into the thought process it would realistically take for brick!Valjean to follow Javert to the Seine that night.
Now with a second chapter for Barricade Day 2026.

Summary
If you give a mouse a cookie, he may ask for a glass of milk. And if you let a convict take home a dying rebel, he may ask for a quick stop at his own house. Where does it end??
This is canon-divergent for after they deliver Marius to the grandfather's. They should be heading straight to the police station, but it seems that at least one of them is dragging his feet.
Now COMPLETE!

Summary
He blew out the candles. A soft huff; fingers pinching the wick until the light was extinguished in between them. Valjean regarded him with an odd look in his eyes, his face an expression indiscernible. There was not a word exchanged between the pair of them; only the sound of his steps atop the hardwood floor, and the sound of Valjean’s breaths—each breath of his shallower than his last—in the house.

The two share everything—eating together, strolling together, reading together as their limbs tangle between one another on the settee. They share everything—all but a bed.

Summary
We all love a good murder mystery in this house, right? So I made it depressing with my regular melodramatic prose style and canonical character death. sorry :p
Valjean and Javert don’t talk much and aren’t too fond of one another, but a sudden death personally relating to them both forces them to work together to find the culprit.
