Reincarnation au where you only remember your past life when someone says the last words you heard before you died.
It’s Enjolras and Grantaire’s wedding day, each having written their own meaningful vows, Grantaire starting his first. He has marveled at the beauty of his soon to be husband, gushed and revered their time together. With tears of gratitude in his eyes, he ends his vows: “I love you, and if you let me, I would love you forever. Do you permit it?”
And suddenly it all comes rushing back.

okay but a les mis reincarnation au where les amis slowly regain their memories while taking part in a community theaters’ rendition of les mis but they are all wildly miscast
‘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.
Jehan would Remember. Some day.
