Summary
“The amnesiac has questions,” says Grantaire. Boyfriend grips the wheel. “Don’t worry, we’ll start with the 200 dollar Jeopardy trivia.” A semi roars past them. “What’s your name?”
The perfect sinew and bones of his fingers relax. “Oh,” he murmurs. Just like that, defenses lowered. “Enjolras.”
“Cool,” Grantaire says. “I’m Grantaire.”
Something happens to Enjolras’ face which, if you zoomed in, might be considered a smile. “I know.”
“How long have we been dating, Enjolras?”
The almost-smile is gone. The gameshow metaphor has become too apt; someone’s lost it all. “That’s complicated.”
Well. Grantaire should’ve known some part of this fairytale was too good to be true. He’s best friends with a streetsmart renegade and someone who wrote him a welcome-back-to-consciousness poem in godawful blue icing on an orange frosted cookie cake. There are nearly ten people who were waiting for him to wake up in a hospital room.
Of course his inexplicable relationship with his supernova hot, socially conscientious boyfriend is ‘complicated.’- Language:

Summary
The mermaid, Enjolras, bites his lip, glaring at Grantaire like he's trying to determine whether he's serious. Grantaire supposes he was probably raised on stories of how evil the cave-witches are, how deceitful; how they mock everything they speak of; how they're driven only by profit; and above all, how striking a bargain with one of them is never, ever worth it.
Grantaire can't exactly call those stories inaccurate.
or: grantaire is a sea witch chilling in a cave, mixing potions and trying to mind his own business. enjolras has other ideas.

Summary
“It is of no worry.” There was absolutely no sign of dishevelment or displeasure in any aspect of his presentation, but Grantaire could still sense that they were an unexpected presence. They would not be turned away, even the most prideful of city dwellers would see that as the social suicide it was. One scorned family in a town of this size and you have scorned them all, condemned on the tongues of wives and consequently in the eyes of all in their society. The man smiled, and Grantaire could read all of this in the expression. “It has been so long since we had come back to our house here, my wife spoke often of how she missed its charm.”
“I am sure you will find it wonderfully unchanged in its charm, sir. The years of your absence has had little impact on our good community.” Grantaire said. He could hear his father’s sigh.
The return of the Enjolras family to their long abandoned summer home leads to an unexpected connection between two ill-behaved heirs. A Regency Era AU
