Summary
“Do the rings under my eyes make me look shady?”
“No more than usual,” Musichetta said. “Worried about your image?”
“About my customers.” Grantaire blew on his cup of coffee. “I mean, you'd get that, right? It's our business to be trustworthy.”
“No, that's my business,” Musichetta corrected. “Your business is to seem trustworthy and never let people know that there's not a magically gifted bone in your body.”(In which Grantaire pretends to have magic, Enjolras pretends not to, Jehan struggles to work out the morals of working as an alley witch, and Musichetta just wants to tell fortunes from the back of her kiosk in peace.)

Summary
“I get it," Grantaire said. "We can even make it a deal, if you like – no detours, just straight home. Shake hands on it.”
Enjolras eyed him sceptically. “All right,” he said finally and extended a hand. “Straight home, no detours.”
Grantaire cracked a smile, taking the hand that was offered. “A gentlemen's agreement.”(There's a car that has to get from Norway to France, Enjolras doesn't drive, and Grantaire just happens to be there.)

Summary
When Musichetta asks about Grantaire’s new apartment, his order clutched in her hands like he owes her a tip in the form of juicy gossip before he’s allowed proper caffeination, there are several things he could say. He chooses the obvious.
1) His mail has been stolen and returned no less than three times, either accidentally or purposefully.
2) The walls are so thin that speaking in any tone louder than a mumble could potentially earn him a reply from the next apartment over, depending on which room he’s in.
3) His next-door neighbor has a penchant for yelling creative, impassioned insults at late-night news anchors while Grantaire is trying to sleep.-
Or, the one where Enjolras and Grantaire are neighbors.

Summary
He has sworn never to go back to the ballet world. He has no intention of dancing again. But somewhere the Fates are having a real party laughing down at him, because one minute Grantaire's living his life in peace and the next he's - choreographing a new ballet of the Iliad?

Summary
Grantaire really doesn't expect Enjolras to force him to move in with him when he hears how shitty Grantaire's apartment is. And he definitely doesn't expect Enjolras to want him to stay, or how easy it turns out to be, or the way Enjolras has a habit of doing his studying in the sunshine on the living room floor ...
Yeah, he may be in some trouble.

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
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.)

"Grantaire," he says slowly. "What do you have in that box?"
Grantaire looks up at Enjolras, his eyes very blue even with the glaze of drunkenness at the edges. "A favor," he says.
