Three weeks away from opening night, and things have only gotten better.
Courfeyrac making it his personal goal to impale everyone with the flag (he only got to Marius, Javert, and Valjean before the Flag Rights were transferred to Jehan for the day)
Marius and Cosette? Enjolras and Grantaire? No, the real love story is Courfeyrac and the flag.
Javert slinking around pretending to be a weed dealer
During the wedding we have to reuse Les Amis, so when the Thénardiers sing “Clear away the barricades and we’re still there!” Courfeyrac once made a move to go fight them until Combeferre and Joly held him back, and I know he was joking, but ouch
Fantine started hiccuping during her death scene and hadn’t stopped by the time she died, so Valjean had to hunch over and pretend he was crying instead of laughing
I walked in on Courfeyrac lying facedown on the choir room floor and when I asked him what was wrong he just said “Thomas Jefferson” and honestly?? I feel that
Joly getting piggyback rides from all the Amis except Feuilly, who is the self-proclaimed cast twink and has the frail arms of a freaky contortionist
Javert singing “Stars” in a Kermit the Frog voice
Our actor playing Valjean was crowned the Cello King, Protector of Lesbians
Enjolras was an only child. So was Jean Prouvaire.
Enjolras would hear his other friends talking about a baby brother or a little sister and he would feel a little bit lonely. Like he has always been while growing up. But then there’s sweet Jehan, an only child just like him.
Knowing how the leader would feel about this, at some point, the poet would take his hand and smile:
‘I hate it when people call themselves ‘old souls’‘ Jehan said, frowning up at the ceiling. He wandered into Enjolras’ flat after a night out with Bahorel and now had his head on the man’s lap. Enjolras seemed unfazed, if slightly concerned.
‘Old souls is what they say’ Jehan went on ‘But what they mean is ‘I read a book once and that makes me better than you’. But you know… When I look at you, it makes sense. You talk about the French Revolution and it feels like you were there. When I look at you… you feel like you were there at Troy, imploring a supposedly great man to put his duty before his pride. Like you were reborn, time and time again, each time coming away with more scars.’
Enjolras smiled and ran his hand through the little poet’s hair. Jehan didn’t Remember, but it felt like he was constantly on the brink of it. All Enjolras could do was to hope and wait.
Feuilly knit Enjolras a sweater that says “proud class traitor” and Enj cried when he opened it and has worn it to his manditory family Christmas brunch for 5 years running
so headcanon that Marius doesn’t tell Cosette about Courfeyrac because he’s still hurting from his death and talking about it with Cosette will only make it a confirmed reality
meanwhile Cosette notices that Marius sometimes carries around with him a handkerchief that she does not recognise as one of his own or hers (and not her papa’s either, Ursule is still a running joke between them)
one night he’s sitting on the edge of the bed gazing at it, and Cosette finally asks whose it might be
and that’s when Marius finally gives in and tells her about Courfeyrac because the handkerchief was his and it was the one item of Courfeyrac’s which Marius could not bare to part with, and how Cosette would not have noticed but he had tucked it into his pocket during their wedding so that, in a way, the best man would be present
