also, the more i think about it, the more plausible it is that javert never recognizes valjean in m sur m. it’s kinda like the argument for why no one ever realizes clark kent is superman? because no one expects superman to ever masquerade as a human! it’s beneath him! and ridiculous! so not only has it been years since javert saw jvj (who also has to look a lot different when not starving and in rags and covered in grime), he would also just. never expect him to be mayor of a small town?? he’s a convict! he wouldn’t dare–he wouldn’t be ABLE to rise to such a position. so even if javert ever did think he looked familiar, or reminded him of 24601, he would have dismissed it outright because it’s just beyond comprehension that a prisoner could ever become this. there’s too much of a cognitive dissonance between a man he looked down upon as evil and less than human and the man he looks up to as a perfect model of respectability and authority.

until he lifts the cart. because, you know, if you saw clark kent lift a car, your passing comment that he resembles superman starts to become a lot more suspicious.

I have a whole post about this somewhere that I wrote like a year or more ago that’s exactly this so uh yes? Yes.

AU where instead of making a snap decision and leaving for the Seine, Javert just. keeps returning to Valjean’s house to examine for himself how Valjean can simultaneously be a good person and a criminal. eventually Valjean heads downstairs each morning to find Javert already at the kitchen table, casually reading the newspaper. Javert always greets him with “good morning, I’ll most likely arrest you today”. he never does
