I’m disappointed.

I’ve seen quite a few Much Ado About Nothing based Les Mis fics, but WHY are there no Twelfth Night fics?

So, we have twins Cosette and Enjolras, seperated in a shipwreck. Cosette washes ashore in Illyria/Musain and dresses as a man to serve in Marius’ court who is trying to woo Eponine. Marius sends Cosette (Cesario? Cose? Idk) to win over Eponine who falls in love with this pretty stranger.

MEANWHILE, Enjolras is saved by a well meaning pirate *cough Grantaire cough* who is absolutely devoted to this strange man he pulled from the ocean. (If you will not murder me for my love, let me be your servant). If they have or started in some sort of relationship from the beginning is up to you. Enjolras, believing his sister is dead, sets off for Musain with a besotted R following.

You’d probably have to adapt the side plot, and I’m not sure who I’d like the most as Feste (Feuilly, Jehan, Valjean, or Combeferre).

Of course you’d fix the ending so that after plenty of misunderstandings, Enjolras ends up with R, Eponine reveals she knew Cosette was a woman and was in love with the real her the entire time and Marius is either content on his own or realizes his pursuit of Eponine was really him trying to ignore he feelings for his friend Courfeyrac.

Anyway, I feel this crossover has so much untapped potential.
