grantaire

juanjoltaire:

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.

Don’t forget about Lamarque’s funeral, Sunday. Il est essentiel que nous commençions disputer à l’obsèques.

I am half minded not to go. There is nothing in the world
duller than funerals, christenings, and weddings. One marks the end of life,
another the beginning, the third its hobbling. I’d rather watch life in
progress; the past and future tense of life is not living. Bring me a present
progressive, not a progressive of the present. Ah well, perhaps I will go, if
Enjolras sends for me. It would be a favor; he’d be in my debt. Yes, I’ll go if he calls. But then, hasn’t the old general seen enough blood spilled in
his day? Let’s give him some peace for an evening. Requiescat in Pace, and I’d like to do so myself without the
dying. Peace and quiet and life being lived, that’s all a man can ask for.
Mayhap I won’t go after all.

There are men who seem to be born to be the reverse, the obverse, the wrong side. They are Pollux, Patrocles, Nisus, Eudamidas, Ephestion, Pechmeja. They only exist on condition that they are backed up with another man; their name is a sequel, and is only written preceded by the conjunction and; and their existence is not their own; it is the other side of an existence which is not theirs.
