    Summary

    And then, without consulting his brain for even a moment, his mouth forms words he never would have said on a Wednesday night, if his head were on right: “Christ, do you remember how stupidly in love I was with you then?”

    It’s like the room freezes.

    a.k.a Enjolras and Grantaire have different interpretations of their shared history

    Summary

    “We will be together,” says Courfeyrac, grinning wider than the gourd in his hands, “for an evening without the present burdens of our epoch. Even Enjolras has sworn there will be no talk of politics or princes tonight.”

    Summary

    “What shall we do, then?” Boris asks, a smile on his face.

    “Do we have to do something?” Theo asks. He smiles in return— more muted, uneasy.

    The streets only get busier when the holidays close in. Tourists, visiting families, traveling businessmen. But the crush of bodies swarming the streets of New York doesn’t make Theo feel anonymous or invisible. There are only more people around to observe him, waiting for a slip.

    “Of course,” Boris says. His smile inches further up his face, knocked crooked across his cheeks. “Would be a waste not to. Is our first Christmas back together again.”

    Summary

    They wake up in darkness after midnight. The distance between them has flaked away as they slept, Matt’s fingertips resting on Max’s arm, their feet slotted together under the covers.

    “You could come,” Max tells him, quietly. He’s got an elbow bent beneath his head, ear pressed to the blood-thump of his heartbeat there. “Come see me in Melbourne. Stay with me for a while.”

    Or: Matt and Max spend the weekend together. Max tries to reconcile his feelings with his plans.

    Summary

    Kissing can be as good as sex because it contains all the promise of the act and little of the risk. Kissing turns on the body, dusts off the brain, nourishes the soul. Kissing is the chicken soup of sex. Grantaire could stay like this all night or forever, curled up with Enjolras on the couch, licking into his mouth. On TV, a Santa Claus is in a wacky situation. Outside, snow is falling fast.

    Summary

    Marius, looking chastised but sad, says, “Is there nothing then for romance, Enjolras? It seems a strange emotion to be struck with, distracting as a fever, if it means nothing.”

    It is Grantaire who answers first. “Nothing means anything, Marius,” says the cynic. “Yet who would ever die for his country if he did not love some person who lived within it?”

    Summary

    "Can you not see it clear, Enjolras? It would be like a play. We shall have scenes between us that would make Aeschylus weep, and thus impress that we are far from friends. You will show yourself to be strong, in shouting me down; and I will play the devil's advocate to your ideals, to show how strong you are."

    Summary

    Enjolras is following him, and Grantaire’s heart is hammering in his chest. What does this mean? Does it mean coffee? Could it possibly mean sex? Anyone else trailing him after a night of carousing and Grantaire would say yes, but this is Enjolras. Enjolras is the Holy Grail and the Anti-Sex.

    Summary

    August 1832: Two months after the fall of the barricade, Enjolras pays Grantaire a visit.

     

    Grantaire looked at the silver line tracing across Enjolras' cheekbone, occupying almost the exact same spot as his own new facial trophy. The mark on Enjolras was shallow and unobtrusive. It was thin as a hair. A sharp edged pamphlet thrown with sufficient velocity could probably have left a worse scratch.
    "Golden ideal, marred," said Grantaire mournfully. "A stain upon the Republic herself. It cannot be borne, not by a fervent devotee of the revolution such as I."
    Enjolras glared daggers into him. "I have come here to tell you that I don't care about your facial disfigurement and that you ought to come back. Stop mocking me."
    Grantaire ignored him, floating on the euphoria of wine and Enjolras. He reached up and touched the thin, milky line on Enjolras' cheek.

    Summary

    Grantaire’s eyes reflect the coming evening. “I have been accounted both gifted and a hard worker, at this if at little else. If you want them, my services are yours.”

    The precipice yawns; he jumps and smiles. “Grantaire, I consent to try you.”

    Summary

    He's sitting in a car with all of his belongings in the back seat and his hands wrapped around the steering wheel, admitting to himself that a stupid, dizzy firework of a one-night-stand with a man he'd barely known is one of the only bright memories he has right now.

    [In which Enjolras and Grantaire make some music, make some terrible decisions, and make a habit out of doing everything in the wrong order.]

    Summary

    “How long?”

    Combeferre shrugged, but Courfeyrac, half-draped over Ferre’s lap, scrunched his face up thoughtfully.

    “An hour?” he guessed, nudging his head against Combeferre’s hand like a cat. “Perhaps longer.”

    Enjolras was already half out of his seat. “Has anyone thought to check if he’s still conscious?”

    “It’s Grantaire,” said Joly from Enjolras’ other side, where he sat curled around Musichetta, “and it’s New Year’s. What did you expect?”

    (It has been three years since Enjolras last attended the New Year's Eve party at the Musain, and he doesn't know what's brought him here tonight, but he does know one thing: someone is missing from the festivities.)

    Summary

    Enjolras is a university dropout and Grantaire is an addict. Between them they like to think they’ve got enough misfit friends to make a difference in the world - or London at the very least - if hedonism doesn’t get the better of them.

    Summary

    Enjolras still has his stage eyeliner lingering near his long eyelashes and his hands look like an aristocrat's of old: pale, long-fingered, ready for indolent use. He has a mouth shaped for sin, made for dirty words and dirtier deeds, and a jaw made to bear bite marks along its strong lines. Enjolras talks like he's upholding justice but Grantaire thinks there's something of the bacchic in him, kept well masked.

    They've been doing this since the first day of rehearsals, catching each other's eyes on them. Even as friends, weeks in, it’s true. One of them looks up: the other is looking back.
