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’:
my stuff
awake oh sleeper: another Grantaire fanmix
mad world gary jules (And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad, the dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had)
people ain’t no good nick cave and the bad seeds (It ain’t that in their hearts they’re bad, they can comfort you, some even try)
old number 7 the devil makes three (So I’m watching as his wings spread as wide as could be, come on now and wrap them around me, cos all I want to do now is fall to sleep, come down here and lay next to me)
carry me home the living end (one more round is all I need, fill it up and let me be, it’s getting late I should’ve known, won’t somebody carry me home?)
life versus the lifeless the beautiful south (That’s what keeps you alive, the thought of undeserved death, that’s why cynics deep-sea dive, just to watch someone healthy lose breath)
alcohol the barenaked ladies (O Alcohol, would you please forgive me, for while I cannot love myself, I’ll use something else)
shiver coldplay (And it’s you I see but you don’t see me, and it’s you I hear so loud and so clear)
a drinking song the divine comedy (So don’t shoot til you see the reds of our eyes)
demons imagine dragons (Your eyes they shine so bright, I want to save their light, I can’t escape this now, unless you show me how)
awake oh sleeper the brothers bright (do you hear the lion roar, awake oh sleeper)
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?)
Rise Up – a(nother) Enjolras / Grantaire fanmix
SO Tumblr is like the worst place ever for uploading fanmixes because I wanted to stick all these DEEP AND MEANINGFUL lyrics under a readmore tag but I couldn’t I could but it looked ugly so Livejournal gets it too. (Here it is on Tumblr.)
Enjolras/Grantaire is very overfanmixed as a ship but what the heck, I wanted a mix of my very own! You can listen to it on 8tracks, or I’ve stuck links to Youtube on all the songs.
Les Miserables AU: Grantaire made Enjolras up
He knows the revolution will fail, he knows the world and his soul are both voids. He has nothing to believe in. He drinks.
From his position in the dark in the corner of the bar, he paints them all a leader- part man, part angel, leading them into battle. But his imagination only stretches so far. He takes the hand of this being he created. He dies beside him with joy. There’s still a little light in the endless darkness, there’s still a little light in him. But he can’t imagine living, let alone living with love. He buys red paint.
The barricades fall. He still drinks. His angel stares from the canvas half-accusing and half-pitying. Before long, only the paintings remain.
