Whatever you do, don’t imagine modern revolutionaries Enjolras and Grantaire.
Don’t imagine them leaving a rally together and taking the subway home in the middle of the night.
Don’t imagine Grantaire falling asleep on Enjolras’s shoulder.
Don’t imagine Enjolras letting him stay that way.
Don’t imagine Enjolras watching Grantaire, and wondering how he had never noticed how beautiful he was before.
Don’t imagine Enjolras falling in love with his cynic.
Don’t imagine Enjolras thinking it isn’t requited and not telling Grantaire.
Don’t imagine the Les Amis going to a more violent rally that they don’t all come out of.
Don’t imagine Grantaire sacrificing himself for Enjolras.
Don’t imagine Enjolras crying.
Don’t imagine the funeral.
Don’t imagine Enjolras going back to Grantaire’s apartment.
Don’t imagine Enjolras finding hundreds of sketches deemed unperfect by Grantaire.
Don’t imagine them all being of Enjolras.
Don’t imagine them all being stunning, but Grantaire thinking that they are nothing compared to the actual man.
Don’t imagine Enjolras realizing that Grantaire loved him back.
Don’t imagine Enjolras throwing himself completely into the revolution in an attempt to forget about Grantaire.
Don’t imagine it not working.
Don’t imagine Enjolras waking up in the middle of the night because he had just seen Grantaire die, again.
Whatever you do, don’t imagine the tragedy of modern day Enjoltaire.
Tag: modern au
but les amis living in a house and adopting three baby kitties and naming them égalité, liberté, and fraternité
#grantaire brings home a fourth and names it beyoncé (via subcourfeyrac)
Mal’s newest quality Les Miserables headcanon:
Enjolras was 24 when the amis realized that he was under the impression that kangaroos were a widely beloved fictional animal created by Dr. Suess. He was deeply troubled to learn that they are, in fact, real Australian wildlife.
les amis leafing through an old high school yearbook
enjolras, pointing to one kid in a picture: i wonder what happened to this guy, didn’t he have like a modeling contract at 16?
joly: oh yeah montparnasse, he and ep were like besties in 8th grade
bossuet: hey that guy was my dealer
enjolras: you smoked weed in high school?
bossuet: hell no we exchanged yu-gi-oh cards
i’d love to say i had a great reason for drawing enjolras holding a chicken but really i can’t explain myself At All
bonus bc i imagined it and it made me laugh for ten minutes::
