   Summary

   “Perhaps, after tonight, the law no longer drives me as it has all my life. And if the law does not drive me, I do not know what will.”

   “I know you, Javert. You may not like it, but I know you. I know the sense of purpose you speak of. That kind of drive doesn’t just go away. I believe that kind of passion conveys more about the person who feels it, rather than the cause of the passion. Even if it wanes with time, even if it is a source other than the law that moves you, you will find that drive again. You will find something to direct it to.”

   --

   Months after Valjean pulls Javert from the Pont au Change, they both find themselves without purpose. Valjean becomes hopeless without Cosette to care for. Meanwhile, Javert's growing doubt about his place in the police force leaves him aimless. But Javert and Valjean's lives have always been irreversibly intertwined. As they learn what it means to change and be changed, they may find that their lives are meant to intertwine in a way neither of them ever expected.

   In case anyone needed another post-Seine Valvert slow burn ;)

   Summary

   Airport Security Officer Javert has had enough of Captain Jean Valjean always setting off the metal detector and slowing down the line with his unnecessary friendliness. Even more annoying: everyone else seems to love him despite his lack of scrupulosity towards airport rules. But to top it all off, he’s also really, ridiculously good-looking. Could it get much worse than this?
