vlajean:

basically if someone ever asks you to describe the characters in les mis you can tell them that cosette represents the pure good, the thénardiers represent the pure evil, jean valjean represents the good in evil, and javert represents the evil in good

sitting alone in your mansion, you nurse your glass of champagne, you lay back on the chaise lounge, a cigarette in hand. you look up at the mauled, grotesque portrait that was once so beautiful. it was painted for you hundreds of years ago,and yet you have not aged a day. “i’m so sorry basil” you murmur

the year is 1832 and you in are in paris, you have been planning a revolution along with your friends for almost a year now. there is a fire in your belly, a war in your mind and you are ready to die for your blessed france, ready to die among your best friends. 

everything in this school is old and beautiful, and the classics are truly coming alive here. you are drinking wine every night, practising your latin and concerning yourself with the most odd looking, most enchanting friendship group. rumours of murder and divine intervention follow you wherever you go. something in this school is dionysian and deadly.

Writing a short (like, 3 chapters) actually happy/funny canon era exr fic because I was in the mood for some canon era without the angst. Using one of the tropes you all sent in. 

I mean, there’s a bit of !!!! about it, but it all works out happy and good in the end. 

The trope is ‘arranged marriage’, by the way. And despite some discomfort and awkwardness regarding Enjolras’ situation, I promise it’s going to be like a weird canon era rom-com.

Grantaire’s father: Look kid you’re a huge disappointment to the family but you’re going to make up for that by being a suitor for a girl from a very wealthy family far above our station. They’re only giving you the time of day because they’re struggling to marry their daughter off for ~no discernible reasons worth worrying about hahaha~

Enjolras’ father: May I present to you my only child who doesn’t want to be here and *totally hasn’t* physically assaulted every man we’ve presented to her a suitor, like, *totally not*, not even that baronet she stabbed with an oyster fork. What are you even talking about? That never happened.

Enjolras and Grantaire upon being ‘presented’ to each other for the ‘first time’: *RECOGNITION AND GAY FEAR*

Jehan Prouvaire – John Pukiar
Bahorel – Barrel
Feuilly – Fwee

(Is it poor parenting to let such a young child watch Les Mis almost daily? Possibly.
Does that mean I’ll stop putting it on every time she asks for Gavroche? Not a chance.)
