Hey, quick suggestion, what about stop making Montparnasse the one-dimensional villain in fics when there are so many other, definietly more intriguing possibilities like
- the sassy, sullen co-worker in your coffee shop AU who wears too much eyeliner and is absolutely done with all the flirting going on around him
- the super eccentric leader of the drama club in your High School AU or
- the super eccentric drama teacher in your Teacher AU who tries (and fails) every year to get Rocky Horror Picture Show approved
- the disgruntled hot topic employee
- the other neighbour in your cute new neighbour AU with three black cats, a love for dramatic music and worryingly irregular work hours
- the constantly glitter wearing fashion blogger silently judging everyone (except Bahorel, because Bahorel has style, okay?)
- the weird cousin no one really likes or actually knows anything about but is still invited for Christmas every year
- the tattoo covered, black-haired second flower shop employee with a weird foible for roses next to the cute, flustered, nerdy one in your Flower and Tattoo Shop AU
- the guy in the other holding cell that constantly flirts with every police officer nearby and always gets out first because there’s no solid evidence to send him up
- the snippy, overly dramatic, incredibly smart criminal child who steals nice clothes, tries not to show that he cares too much, desperately seeks respect and admiration and goes to any lengths to get those, who is a deeply flawed but incredibly multifaceted, interesting character – oh wait… that’s canon.
