Summary
Standing in the center of this crowd, Enjolras looks glorious, too beautiful for this earth, and for a brief, shining moment Combeferre feels as though he’s just ripped his own heart out to put in his best friend’s hands. From the enraptured stares on the other protestors’ faces, he can tell he’s not the only one. Enjolras is single-minded and fierce, proud and unbroken. It’s an honor to hear him speaking like this; he seems to be on fire, as if he’s glowing under his skin, and for the first time Combeferre understands why Grantaire calls him Apollo.
He’s a god, an avenging angel, and every last person here, even the cops, wants him to keep screaming for justice and to never stop.

Summary
It's remarkably difficult to entice new soldiers to their just and righteous cause of mutant supremacy when the only thing the potential recruits can think throughout the course of the conversation is, "I'm just not sure I can follow somebody who wears a silly cape – oh, shit, I hope the telepath didn't hear that."

Summary
What it says on the tin. Written for this prompt: Some of my favorite scenes throughout the whole movie were when Charles was in Teacher!Mode at the mansion and was helping with everyone else's training. Would love to see scenes during that time when he taught them something important that did not just involve their powers.
