Grantaire is always discarding sketches and drawings at the Musain because he (as a typical artist) doesn’t think they’re any good at all and he just assumes they get thrown in the trash by the staff because they’re never there when he comes back the next day.

He only finds out that this isn’t the case when he’s crashing at Bahorel’s one night and he walks past a sketch of Bahorel high-fiving Jehan framed on the wall. As he drops in at all of his friends’ places, he begins to realise that not one of his works has ever been thrown out.

Joly, Musichetta and Bossuet have a pinboard littered with his drawings, Cosette has a scrapbook, Eponine has several pages blu-tacked to the headboard of her bed. Combeferre returns a book to him and forgets his bookmark in the pages; a doodle of chibi!Ferre gazing into the camera like he’s on The Office while chibi!Enjolras rants about “JUSTICE!!1!!’1”. Courfeyrac proudly boasts a wall on which hang framed portraits of all of his friends. Feuilly keeps a group sketch of them all in his wallet. Jehan has the most out of all of them; he hoards pages and pages worth of material, some pinned to his walls, others stacked neatly in his desk drawer to look at whenever he fancies it.

The last one he sees is Enjolras’, because Enjolras is never actually in for long enough to invite anyone over unless he’s sweet talked into hosting a movie night. Which happens, and Grantaire’s sent through to retrieve beers when he sees it; taped to the fridge is the only drawing Grantaire’s ever done that includes a self-portrait. In it he’s in a stare-off with Enjolras, sporting a thought bubble of “if anybody could save the world, it would be him.”

And in a pen and handwriting that isn’t Grantaire’s, Enjolras has been given a thought bubble that says, “if anybody could make the world worth saving, it’d be him.”
