@barbedwirel0ve you have GOT to hear me out on this (i can provide context for any other mutuals who don't know etoile)
Etoile x Modern Les Mis universe.
Grantaire is a dancer who left for rehab and never went back, picking up boxing and painting more often. He meets Gabin during his limbo phase where he's not sure if he's in or out and Gabin makes a comment like 'You could probably take my spot, considering they're going to give it away' but he gets his spot back and remembers Grantaire and reccomends him. Tobias is like let me see this guy, im curious to who you're reccomending and they bring him in and all of that.
At this point in time E and R are like dating or whatever type of relationship you want and wants to go with R because A, he's a jealous bastard, and B, he's proud of R for this. It's like just Tobias and Gabin in rehearsal and R is like what's up and Enjolras just like. Doesn't leave. R is all "you have to leave" and E is "no, I'm not leaving I don't know these people" (jealousy or whatever reason) and the 3 are like fine whatever I give up just stay in the back of the room until they start dancing and Enjolras is like "what the fuck no stop you're going to hurt yourself" and Tobias is all "who the FUCk is this dude and why is he interrupting me" but Enjolras who is basically Tobias in a different font ignores him and R is all "Enjolras the last time you danced was when you were 13 and it was mandatory we'll be fine" but Tobias is like "no wait a second, he is right" which spirals into Tobias and Enjolras fucking choreographing together or some shit and R and Gabin are both like "I've never seen him talk this cohesively with someone" and "The only time i've seen him this excited is at rallies"
Bonus points if we have them working together with words that only each other can understand (both Gabin and R are gettnig lost even) and people gather outside because "IS THAT TOBIAS BELL WORKING WITH SOMEONE AND NOT GETTING MAD?"
