    Summary

    The bags under eyes are heavier than usual. So is the weight that lurks at his shoulders. His ill-fitting suit is horrendously rumpled, and the curls she often runs her fingertips through, pretending she doesn’t notice his flinch are busting out of the haphazard gel he shoves in it before he leaves for work. He’s not sleeping, even when he gets home on time. She’s not getting much either.

    “We can’t keep doing this.” he says quietly

    Summary

    Written for Les Miserables winter holidays exchange 2015. Prompt: "The guy Eponine's been in love with for years brings a new girl to the meeting who's pretty obviously not into him. Eponine takes it upon herself to make sure Marius knows Cosette is off the market.

    Basically fake dating but with lesbians. (To clarify, I don't want any Marius-bashing. He just misread some signals.)"

    “Hullo everyone,” says Marius, who doesn’t seem to realise that Combeferre was in the middle of speaking. “This is Cosette. She’s really interested in some of the group’s ideas.”

    Éponine can see from the little glances everyone’s shooting each other that she’s not the only one wondering what exactly ‘the group’s ideas’ sound like when they’ve passed through the Marius Pontmercy filter. There’s a distinct possibility that the new girl is dangerously bananas.

    One thing that’s more of a distinct reality is that the new girl is dangerously beautiful.

    Summary

    At the bottom of a millennia old crater, no one can hear you have an existential crisis (usually).

    Or

    Is it really a character study if it's the blank main character player and I'm just throwing headcanons at the wall like wet noodles and seeing what sticks? Who's to say, honestly.
