I got bored so I made a map of Les Amis significant interactions with/feelings towards each other, with dialogue from the Brick and some manip’ed character designs. (Mostly just heavily edited screencaps from the movie.)
IT TOOK A LONG TIME. Click the high-res button to really get the flavour of it.
Marius had allowed himself to be taken to the ball at Sceaux by Courfeyrac, Bossuet, and Grantaire, hoping, what a dream! that he might, perhaps, find her there. Of course he did not see the one he sought.—“But this is the place, all the same, where all lost women are found,” grumbled Grantaire in an aside. Marius left his friends at the ball and returned home on foot, alone…
Wait, has no-one written a fanfic about what those three got up to once Marius left? CAN THEY PLEASE

OH MY GOD
OH MY GOD
SOMEONE DID IT
AND IT’S BEAUTIFUL
Everyone has their own modern-day Les Amis dreamcast: meet mine!
Enjolras: Aaron Tveit
Combeferre: Richard Ayoade (IF I CONTRIBUTE NOTHING ELSE TO FANDOM I WANT TO CONTRIBUTE RICHARD AS COMBEFERRE HE IS PERFECT)
Jehan: Evanna Lynch
Feuilly: Ruth Negga
Courfeyrac: (the very, very adorable) Freema Agyeman
Bahorel: Gwendoline Christie
Bousset: Noel Clarke (anyone recollect his ‘let’s go liberate Paris’ line from Doctor Who?)
Joly: Hugh Skinner
Grantaire: George Blagden (can you believe, that was the ugliest picture I could find of him?)
Like most people, I want to make a graphic of modern-day Les Amis (race and genderswapped!) but I only have a few fancasts in my head. Wanna hear them? You probably do.
Enjolras: No idea, so I’ll probably stick with Aaron
Combeferre: Richard Ayoade
Courfeyrac: Freema Agyeman, because Courf has to be warm and friendly and fashionable, and Freema is all that, yay
Joly: Hugh Skinner, because of his permanently worried expression
Bosset: Noel Clarke
Feuilly: No idea. I want someone red-haired. (But not Karen Gillan! There’s too many Doctor Who alumni in here already, for a start)
Jehan: Even less of an idea
Bahorel: Gwendolyn Christie
Grantaire: George Blagden (yeah, it could hardly be anyone else at this point.)
Anyone got any comments or ideas? Tell me tell me tell me!
Title: So Ceases And Lights On Borrowed Wings
Author: Me!
Fandom: Les Miserables
Characters: Joly, Bossuet
Summary: Bossuet is shot. Joly must tend to him, but there is not much that can be done. Warning: character death.
Author’s Note: I did take some liberties with Bossuet’s time and manner of death, since in the Brick he did last until the barricade was breached.

“He was poor, but his fund of good humor was inexhaustible. He soon reached his last sou, never his last burst of laughter. When adversity entered his doors, he saluted this old acquaintance cordially, he tapped all catastrophes on the stomach; he was familiar with fatality to the point of calling it by its nickname: “Good day, Guignon,” he said to it.”
