    Summary

    "This is good. You just need Kim to put his fingers right down into the back of your throat, and then he’ll be able to feel that there’s no bullet lodged in your brainstem, and everything will be okay. This is a normal conversation, and you’re doing well at it. You’re winning, even. This is great."

    In which there is a great change coming to Revachol, Harry tries his best to conduct a normal conversation, and Kim is not, in fact, psychic.

    Summary

    KIM KITSURAGI: One hand comes up to cling frantically at your neck. He’s scrambling for some shred of composure, some scrap of authority, but he’s breathless and laughing and it goes straight to your head like a second-hand high. “Put me down!”
    You: “Gotta carry you over the threshold,” you grunt. “It’s good luck.”
    ENCYCLOPEDIA: An old Ubi Sunt? tradition. It’s a symbol of devotion, of the sickness-and-health part of marriage vows.
    LOGIC: You’re never going to get married. You’re sure of that. It’s not legal, and anyway Kim wouldn’t enjoy the spectacle of it. This is as close as you’ll get.
    ELECTROCHEMISTRY: This is pretty fucking good, though.

    Kim and Harry are finally moving in together.

    Summary

    SHIVERS: A SISTER. PROTECT HER. LOVE HER. SHE’LL KEEP YOU ALIVE.
    EMPATHY: The pigeon is shivering. She doesn’t seem to be able to move far, her useless wing flopping sadly at her side, but she shrinks back as much as she can within the box.
    You: “Oh no, no, I’m not going to hurt you,” you say, clumsily holding out a broad hair-lined hand. The pigeon flinches, then, as you hold your hand as still as you can and make no move to harm her, regards you with a mix between fear and curiosity.
    LOGIC: She’ll die without you, Harry. Maybe she’ll die with you too. Is this a responsibility you can bear?

    Harry and Kim spend the evening tending to an injured pigeon. They get talking. Things begin to spiral in unexpected directions.

    Summary

    SAVOIR FAIRE: You pick the dice up, delicately as you can, and roll it across your palm before dropping it onto the table. It rattles and bounces against the takeaway containers before landing, its gold-inked number displayed proudly.
    Kim’s Beautiful Stained Glass Dice: See? I told you I was good luck, darling! That’s a natural twenty four. The best you can do.
    KIM KITSURAGI: He peers over you. “I thought you’d like that one,” he says.

    Kim and Harry play Wirral Unleashed. Harry has complicated feelings; about Kim, about the RCM, about his place in the world. Roleplaying games are an excellent form of therapy.

    Summary

    Three-and-one-third bodies have been found in an abandoned vehicle on the riverbank.

    It would be a challenging case even without the bad weather, weapons smuggling, white nationalists, industrial accidents, and the concept of pedigree dog breeds—but over it all hangs one troubling question: What is it that fascinates you about Kim Kitsuragi? Is it working class camaraderie? A sinister hex of mysterious origin? Did you imprint on him in Martinaise, like an amnesiac duckling? If you don’t figure out what’s going on soon, people are going to start to notice. Especially him.

    And sooner or later? Everything is related to the case.

    Summary

    Harry finds himself in the liminal space between Martinaise and actually having to be Harry Du Bois again. He needs to return to his apartment, and his job, and his life, but the prospect is terrifying; everything that was once him is everything he can't allow himself to be ever again. Kim helps him make the transition, and Harry pines wildly over him. They eat food and talk about the homo-sexual underground. Harry tries not to cry a lot.

    Summary

    Jean Valjean, exhausted from the barricades and the sewer, somehow finds the strength to drag Javert out of the Seine. He has no strength left for anything else. He collapses from exhaustion on the quai near the Pont Au Change as the situation rapidly devolves into tragicomedy.

    Inspired by a tumblr post from @Alicedrawslesmis:

    “Oh god can you imagine Valjean having to jump into the Seine to get Javert out? the man has had No sleep for the past idk 40 hours and just had to crawl through 5 miles of sewer carrying a dead body and thinks he’s going to lose everything to the law and then this fucking asshole jumps off a bridge? and he has to jump after him? and swim like an olympic athlete against the current to get the guy out of the water from the rapids? that’s too much. That’s just god fucking with him at this point.

    Valjean pulls Javert out of the water and passes out from the exhaustion of the last two days and Javert is like ’…great. Now I have to drag this man back to his apartment AGAIN’ but Javert is also exhausted from the last two days so it’s just a comedy of errors”

    Summary

    Enjolras presses his lips together. He already looks pained, and Grantaire hasn't even opened his mouth yet. That's got to be a record, even for them.

    "I need a favor," he says at last.

    "With what?" says Grantaire. "Ooh, are you forming a cult? Can I join? I'd be awesome at cults, I just know it." He ticks off his qualifications on his fingers. "I love chanting, I look great in robes—"

    (High school AU. Grantaire the disaffected stoner is pulled into a cause bigger than himself. Or: in which there are pretend boyfriends for great justice.)

    Summary

    Enjolras swallowed. "I didn't know he had tattoos on his back."

    "Yeah," said Joly, shrugging. "I mean, he lives with me and before about noon, he's allergic to shirts—"

    "Why—" said Enjolras weakly.

    "I always figured he had a bad shirt experience," Joly offered. "Shirts killed his family, or his first dog got hit by a truck full of shirts."

    Enjolras shook his head. His face was a little flushed.

    "Ooh, are you experiencing symptoms?" said Joly, brightening. "What's your pulse doing? Are you breathing normally? How do your glands feel?"

     

    Inspired in part by tumblr user feferi's post here, specifically: "i am in love with the idea that enjolras is so baffled by his own emotions towards grantaire that he legitimately cannot tell if he has heartburn or stomach butterflies"

    Modern AU. Joly is a gentleman, a scholar, a med student—and, when need be, a matchmaker. And oh, the need is definitely being.

    Summary

    Five years after her father is killed first by a jungle cat, then by a carriage, and then by a falling piano, Alma Bonnet decides that his absence in her life is, quite frankly, complete horse shit. Obviously the only way to find him is to run away and become a pirate. Because that makes complete and total sense.

    Somehow, it doesn't end with her dead.

Or just, you know, in general; this doesn't feel like the right time for me to be talking about 1832, even if I could without needing to take a break from my media consumption.]

    It was true, Cosette allowed, that he was nothing at all like the beautiful young man from the Luxembourg, but she must not judge him unkindly for that. The world was full of young men, and it would be quite tedious if all the handsome ones were handsome in the same way.
