grantaire : admires, loves, and venerates Enjolras
grantaire : is ready to black Enjolras’ boots
grantaire : looks intently at Enjolras and whispers “be easy” in his ear
literary critics : this is the most heterosexual display i have ever witnessed.
low key wish there were more exr fics where it’s enjolras who falls in love fast, who meets this guy in the library with paint stained hands and a pile of old paperbacks and a loud laugh, and enjolras doesn’t care about talking too loud and pissing off the librarian because grantaire has so many amazing stories (most of which can’t be true but that doesn’t matter) and he gestures wildly with his hands and can quote huge passages from his favourite books as though it’s no big deal. and enjolras is just sitting there and has a big “oh shit I wanna high key date this guy” moment and panics whilst grantaire is totally oblivious to the effect he’s having on this poor guy.
listen i love fanon Hot Mess grantaire as much as the person next to me but i can’t help but feel that if you actually met modern au grantaire, he would be more like that lad kind of guy who’s in a different study program but sits in your class because he still lacks 2.5 credit points for graduation, but he just needs to pass, not a good grade, so he constantly raises his hand to ask semi-nonsensical questions that he hopes will make the professor interrupt her lecture and go on a tangent and when she doesn’t immediately gives him his turn he repeatedly shouts “um excuse me?? i have a short question” and then phrases it in the most unnecessarily lengthy way just to annoy everyone, so there’s an immediate, collective groan whenever his hand goes up, and you’re like, goddamnit it’s eight in the morning and i just want this to be Done, and when you happen to sit next to him he won’t shut up about the latest discourse in the flat earth discord he’s following ironically, and then he adds you on facebook and you find out he once wore a “make america great again” snapback to uni every day for three weeks “to troll people and see what their reactions would be” and then published a thinkpiece post about it on his wall
“Marius’ amours!” exclaimed Grantaire. “I see them now. Marius is a fog, and he must have found a vapor. Marius is of the poets’ race. He who says poet says fool. Tymbraeus Apollo. Marius and his Mary, or his Maria, or his Marietta, or his Marion, they must make odd lovers. I can imagine how it is. Ecstasies where they forgot to kiss. Chaste on Earth, but coupling in the infinite. They are souls that have senses. They sleep together in the stars. [volume xv, book xii]
