Summary
Enjolras and friends are a loose and barely successful artist collective. Grantaire had left, and Grantaire returns.
or
Enjolras, for his prolific work on sexual companionship, is and was and will forever be alone. Singular. He’s known this from a young age, the attempt of yearning doesn’t suit him. He gets distracted and forgets to pine, and can as easily go without than go with. Making space for others in between his work is nearly impossible. Sure, another writer could suffice, but then who would live in the moment for them, feel the love songs not just record that they existed? The closest he had had to be known, to a life that went along together with another, was a half hearted attempt by an alcoholic songwriter an election, a revolution, a lifetime ago.

Summary
Grantaire is sixteen and takes a bus into the city during nights he can’t sleep to find older men who pretend to believe him when he says he’s nineteen and fuck him. Enjolras is a lawyer masquerading as an activist, or maybe it’s the other way around. They meet at the beginning of summer.

Summary
A story about two people who hurt when they're put together, but hurt more when they’re apart and learning to be patient, whatever that means. or Enjolras and R keep sleeping with each other then fucking it all up again.
Everything feels far away from him, and so does everyone. He’s created this bridge of emotions over the summer he can’t explain and whoever is waiting at either side cannot rescue him, only wait patiently for him to make a move. He means to say this. He means to say something like this. He means to express to Grantaire that this last year has been terrible and confusing and wonderful, but this summer of radio silence has been the worst and he misses him.
Instead, he opens his mouth, face blotched red with anger and says, “I don’t know why you find me so intolerable, but it's affecting everyone else so can you either work on it, or let me know so I can finally give up on this charade of niceties completely”.
Grantaire barks out a shock of laughter.
