    Summary

    He closed his eyes against the nauseating vertigo, only to snap them open when a calloused hand framed his forehead. It felt ice cold.
    “Oh dear God above,” Madeleine muttered under his breath. “Why didn’t you tell me it was this bad?”

     

    When Javert faints in front of Monseur le Maire while asking to be dismissed for denouncing him, Madeleine takes Javert into his house and his care without realizing how serious the man's condition really is. As Javert sinks ever deeper into delirium, both of them are forced to be honest about the long-buried feelings that now resurface from the depths of Toulon. Valjean must piece by piece let go of his comfortable life as Madeleine in a desperate attempt to save his guard... and the man in Arras, who faces the death penalty in Valjean's name.

    How much is Valjean willing to sacrifice to save innocent lives? Can Javert stay alive long enough to save Valjean in return? In the end, do any of them even have a future?
