Chris Cowley as Enjolras, London cast 2016-2017
enjolras
“Grantaire lived in furnished lodgings very near the Café Musain. He went out, and five minutes later he returned. He had gone home to put on a Robespierre waistcoat. “Red,” said he as he entered, and he looked intently at Enjolras. Then, with the palm of his energetic hand, he laid the two scarlet points of the waistcoat across his breast.“(Les Misérables)
“This barricade is made neither of paving stones, nor of timbers, nor of iron; it is made of two mounds, a mound of ideas and a mound of sorrows. Here misery encounters the ideal. Here the day embraces the night, and says: I will die with you and you will be born again with me.” [Enjolras; volume v, book i]
emberfiredrake said: Any situation where Enjolras is the one being super affectionate (hugging, kissing his forehead, being an octopus in bed), and Grantaire is really surprised but totally into it.
a quick little Enjolras and Grantaire for soemily as a congrats for living through the bar exam!
based on her East Bay Hipster AU, in which Enjolras is a hispanic immigration lawyer moonlighting as a handyman and grantaire works at a bakery/bicycle repair co-op full of anarchist literature.
(basically my dream fic: love yourself and read it)
(Look at the right hand corner)
We make such a big deal about the drink with me moment in the 25th anniversary (and we should, it’s beautiful) but I feel like we forget about the lovely moment in the 10th anniversary concert between Grantaire and Enjolras. It’s a really tender and touching moment that not many people seem to remember.
I’ve always wanted an AU where Grantaire was on Drunk History. If you’re not familiar with the show, you will be soon considering Lin-Manuel has recorded an episode for the next season (which I got very excited about). It’s a show where people get anywhere from pretty drunk to completely wasted and try to retell a historical event, and then a group of actors will pantomime and lipsync to the drunk storyteller’s retelling of events. It’s like this if you’re curious.
Anyway this is complete garbage but what else can you expect from me.
