deadrevolutionaries:

~Fantine: white clothes, sacrifice, a needle and thread, the memory of a child’s laughter, the faded taste of champagne, factory grease, a failed Paris romance, biting back the fear, soft hands, gentleness, regretful glances, tired feet and a long road to follow

~Jean Valjean: rosary beads, scarred skin, straight black unforgiving numbers, little shards of glass, a ship at sea, hidden treasure, flickering candles, a dark and lonely room, hot food given away, the taste of fruit picked in the sunlight, lost years, found children

~Cosette: song birds, flowers arranged artfully, love letters, a snowy wood, rags and bare feet, childhood friends, hidden things, moonlight, quiet tears, curled hair, a locked gate, the sound of gunshots on a hot summer night

~Javert: midnight, shining silver medallions, righteousness, falling and falling, newspapers, star charts, cool anger, defending the innocent, a chiming bell, a long long bridge, dread, the feeling of being so very very close to your goal, suspicion, loaded pistols, unflinching in dangerous times, unflinching in the dark

~Marius: gunpowder, flowers on an old grave, books and books on languages and law, long afternoons in the park, passionate poetry, shyness, not taking a cent, the french flag flying high, fraternity, eloquence, forgiving the old and grieving the young, a soft voice full of conviction: ‘my wife’
