Honestly, Bishop Myriel saying “we should have free education” and “sin is not caused by the sinner but rather the lack of opportunity given by the privileged” and Hugo commenting on that with “he had strange opinions. must have gotten it from the Bible or something” is the biggest power move

THIS EXISTS.

I don’t know if people know this, maybe it’s common knowledge for Brits but it came as a wonderful surprise to me when I was in the UK; the V&A Museum in London have a National Video Archive of Performance that has professional recordings of West End shows from like, the past 20 years or so?? That you can access??? For free?????? IT’S WONDERFUL

So you can watch a professionally shot stage performance of the 2004 cast in Les Misérables, or Hayley Atwell in The Pride, or DanRad in Equus, or Matilda the Musical, or like, a lot of things

I went along in 2013 to watch Ben Whishaw’s 2004 Hamlet and I wish I’d had the chance to visit more because it’s SUCH A GOOD RESOURCE. You have to email and make bookings to view recordings, and the first time you visit you’ll be made a member and get a card and everything, but AFTER THAT they give you a disk and sit you in a room and you can watch your professionally shot West End show in peace. IT’S REALLY GREAT, YOU CAN EVEN TAKE A FRIEND.

The archive listings and how to book a screening are here. If you live in the UK and don’t have the cash to see v expensive West End shows, this is a really good alternative to bootlegs!!

Hey Dorian can you do a masterlist of your fics or something? I wanna get stuck in but I’m not sure where to start!

enjoloras:

Ahhhhh I’m so pleased you’ve asked me to do this! It means SO MUCH to me when people are interested in my fics, I get SO MUCh validation from it so thanks for giving me a chance to promo myself lmao! Comments are SO WELCOME and make me want to MARRY YOU. 

BTW these are all exr and my Enjolras is always trans, just so you know – 

Anyway;

Modern AU;

To Have And To Hold; my most popular modern AU fic. Enjolras’ parents are trying to marry him off like something from a period drama. Enjolras, however, has panicked and said he’s already married – now he needs a husband to fool them. Marrying a friend for tax benefits is fine, right? No unresolved sexual tension there, no sir…

100 years; Grantaire wakes up with no memories and somehow all of his memories all at once. He recalls the thundering of cannons and the flash of muskets, and then nothing. But it’s 2018, and Enjolras is in bed beside him telling him he should remember a whole lot more. Both a past life and memory loss AU. (WIP) (tw trans pregnancy)

Restless Spirits; Combeferre thinks his and Enjolras’ shared apartment is haunted, and enlists Jehan’s help to find out for sure. It turns out to be a bit less paranormal than first thought…

First comes love, then comes marriage; Cosette and Marius are getting married, and the ensuing celebrations leave Enjolras – perpetually a bachelor and secretly pining – sharing a room with Grantaire. It’s fine. Obviously.

Word A Thousand Words; Les Amis do a nude calendar for charity in the hopes of keeping a local homeless shelter up and running. Poor Grantaire is designated the photographer due to his artistic background, which leaves him battling the moral dilemma of the century; how is he supposed to photograph Enjolras without it being wrong?

Code Red; Short one-shot. Enjolras is missing, and that can only be bad…

Canon Era;

Hold My Hand As I’m Lowered; my first ever fic, so be gentle. Amid the plans for the June rebellion Enjolras finds himself struggling with dark secrets, terrible sickness and a torrid love affair (tw for sickness, miscarriage, and major character death)

The Colour Of Desire; Shameless canon era smut from the same universe as ‘Hold My Hand As I’m Lowered’.

A Familiar Feeling; arranged marriage AU. Grantaire’s father is tired of his ways bringing a stain upon the family name.Enjolras’ family is determined to marry off the difficult only ‘daughter’ that refuses every suitor they present.It so happens that these two situations coincide in a way that both families cannot refuse.It also so happens that Enjolras’ secret double life of sneaking out to the Musain each night is about to come back to bite him when the cynic is presented to him as a suitor. Fortunately, it could work out quite convenient for the both of them.

Ghosting; In wake of the June rebellion and the death of his friends, Marius Pontmercy takes it upon himself to settle the affairs of the dead. He soon learns some of the group had secrets – particularly their leader. Now, burdened with guilt and a sense of responsibility, Marius finds himself faced with an impossible task; raising the son of a revolutionary, gone before his time.

Chasing A Ghost; Eight years have gone by since the failed student insurrection of 1832; eight years, and much has changed. Combeferre tries to pick up the pieces of a fractured life, unable to forget the friends he lost that day in June. When he and Courfeyrac hear rumours that Enjolras survived the barricades and fled Paris, Combeferre finds himself drawn to investigate, only to find that Enjolras has been leading a very different life…(WIP) (tw trans pregnancy, mention of trauma etc)

Chasing A Memory; A prequel for ‘Chasing A Ghost’, from Grantaire’s POV. Fills in the 8 years before Combeferre finds Enjolras. (WIP) (tw trans pregnancy, mention of trauma etc)

Complimentary Colours; Similar to ‘A Familiar Feeling’, a one shot fic that inspired it, somehow my most popular fic!

I have a few more, but here you go!

I don’t really like when they portray Cosette as beautiful. Se can be pretty but not beautiful. It was in the books that she was ugly!

I don’t now what Word descriped her in th English translation but in the Hungarian it says Cosette was ugly.

For how she’s described in the English–and in the French– it kind of depends on the particular point in time?

Not sure if you’re having your first read-through on the book, so Spoilers under the cut?
