“You have but one flaw, my lady,” said the other woman. “You are vain.”
“Think you so?” asked Enjolras, putting down her hairbrush.
“Yes,” said Grantaire, “but you have every reason to be.”
“Lower it,” said Joly warningly. His head was resting on his hand despondently. “Enjolras is in no mood for joyous behaviour today.”
“Oh, my friend,” said Grantaire. “This is not joyous behaviour.”
evayna: (fic writing thing) Grantaire had a tendency to sprawl across his chair and onto the floor like drizzle on a cake, so it was just a matter of time before someone tripped over him.
Grantaire had never seen Enjolras do something as human and normal as fall over (he was, however, absolutely alone in that) so he just snorted and stayed where he was. Enjolras afforded him no more than a dirty look. Bossuet poked him with his foot.
“My guests are leaving their unwanted items on the floor again, I see,” Madame Hucheloup said. She had a broom in her hand, and she made a gesture as if she was going to place it squarely on his face.

OMG IT’S FINALLY DONE
My contribution for R Ship Week. Curiously, it also could be a contribution for Underappreciated Ladies week too! DOUBLE THE FUN (although not for any of the characters in this.)
Anyway:
Title: Stone
Rating: NC-17, probably
Fandom: Les Miserables (bookverse)
Pairing: Grantaire/Matelote
Notes: Most of the stuff about Medusa’s place in Greek mythology came from a really interesting Tumblr post which I have promptly lost.
Summary: In which Matelote attempts to smash the patriarchy, and then she and Grantaire invent the concept of the awkward one-night-stand several decades too early.
Remember I said I wanted to write Martha Jones/Combeferre? I wrote Martha Jones/Combeferre.
[This is set after Human Nature but before Blink for Martha. I had to give Combeferre a first name, so he’s ‘Michel’. Enjoy my odd, tragic take on shipping.]
(more…)This is based on a long-ago prompt from Sclez! I hope it’s okay…
Title: The Drowning Man and the Candle
Rating: R (pun not intended)
Fandom: Les Miserables (bookverse)
Warnings: Grantaire being Grantaire (but I think the tone of this is…bordering on the optimistic? I don’t know.)
Summary: Combeferre and Courfeyrac try, in as kind a way as possible, to turn Grantaire away from Enjolras.
Okay, so, I figured I should write a mini-fic inspired by this very very tragic gifset what I made. Because we all agree that the 1957 version is utterly heartbreaking AND I WANTED TO FIX IT
Hit the readmore for what couldn’t not be called ‘Nobody’:
The original screenplay for the Les Miserables movie had a tiny snippet of Grantaire’s sister and Enjolras’s mother looking for their bodies, which is what inspired this. It’s more book-canon than film-canon, I think- basically, what happened after E&R’s last heartbreaking scene.
I am still very new to this fandom so forgive any glaring errors. *sheepish*
