Give me modern au
(adopted)
teen Cosette having loads of self-esteem issues
Give me teen Cosette being so shy she perpetually hides her face in a scarf and nervously plays with her hair whenever she can’t do so, never looking directly someone in the eyes to avoid seeing mockery in them
Give me teen Cosette who can only find flaws in her appearance – she’s too skinny, too pale, with too many dark circles under her eye, the brace doesn’t suit her- no matter what her totally enamoured and loving papa says
Give me teen Cosette not having many friends because of this but still being polite and kind and generous with everyone
Give me growing up Cosette who start getting tired of this and sick of being afraid of being herself and showing herself for what she is and what she looks like
Cosette who starts watching make up tutorials on youtube and becomes very good at make up herself (”No papa, my smile isn’t the only make up I need”)
Cosette who’s still unsure of herself but fake it till you make it, am I right?
Give me Cosette who after some time finally gathers the strength to show up at those “les amis de l’abc” meetings she always heard of and never had the courage to attend
Cosette who introduce herself with such conviction (daring anyone in the small crowd of strangers not to take her seriously) and yet grace that someone shouts “wow Enjolras why didn’t you tell us you had a twin”
Enjolras being dubious about her at first but immediately regretting it the moment he hears her talking about equality and feminism and glass ceiling (“I’M SO SORRY THAT’S SO HYPOCRITICAL OF ME DOUBTING SOMEONE FOR BEING GOOD-LOOKING”)
Cosette that gradually grows to be so comfortable around these kind and totally crazy people that she even manages to show herself without make up (and is still obviously gorgeous ) (her papa cries a little when he sees her go out like that so confidently but shh don’t tell that to anyone)
Give me growingly-confident Cosette gradually revealing her sunny and kind but also mischievous personality to her friends
Give me Cosette who doesn’t take anyone shit anymore and doesn’t allow anyone to walk over her or her friends
young shy Cosette growing up to slay
