    Summary

    On a hot summer's day in 1832, Enjolras, alone on the barricades and staring down the barrel of far too many muskets, makes the coward's choice. He falls backwards through an open window, eyes clenched shut.

    On a hot summer's day in 2019, Grantaire is walking home from work when he bumps into some guy in a fucking waistcoat, of all things.

     

    AKA, the time travel AU, featuring cultural differences, Enjolras learning how to have friends, and Grantaire trying his fucking best.

    Summary

    Men like Enjolras belonged in books: those of ancient history, once the uglier facets of reality had been dulled by a forgiving editorial hand, or in poetry; in myths and legends that were by design exemplary, idealised projections, their heroes far too perfect to be wrought of anything but paper and ink.

    If Cupid had struck Grantaire with an arrow of gold, he had surely struck Enjolras with an arrow of lead.

    -

    Grantaire invites Enjolras into his studio, beginning a slow but profound shift in their relationship.

    Summary

    The rock cannot be crushed with iron, but it can always be drowned in the moat.
    The past hunts Halt down, but this time he won’t have to face it alone. Crowley never imagined that as a Ranger he would fight a religious war with a certain sect, bully a king, become a priest, and make out in the throne room to piss off some dead guys.
    Caitlyn, on the other hand, just wanted to save the most important person in her life, the whole war erupting of its own accord. Ferris feared that the time of retribution for his actions would come, but he didn’t foresee the way it would go.

    Summary

    Once upon a time there was a prince who was foretold of a fate as a conqueror, keeper of a peace of iron and blood. There was also a man who, in spite of the cruelty of the world, never stopped believing in people.
    Finally, there was a family, with proud, hard hearts forged in the fires of battle. They were not always fighting someone outside this family. Not all hearts were iron, some were forged from stone.
    One mistake decided the fate of an entire generation. One man started a war that he did not live to see, but which was to consume everything he left behind.
