Courfius Week Day 3 - Canon Era | Dance

Finally back to some art. I missed like…millions of prompt weeks and to get myself drawing again I picked sth for courfiusweek.

A very flustered Marius and a Courf who teaches him how to slow dance.

Hey! I'd love to see a comfort hug for Marius and Courfeyrac! I love your writing :)

Thank you, anon!<3 Also, I’m sorry I this took so long but at least it’s just in time for Courfius week! (Cw for watching a ghost story I guess?)

Fridaynight is movie night at the apartment and even though Marius would be fine withletting Courfeyrac pick the movies, for equality’s sake they take turns. Thisweek it’s Marius’ choice and he’s very proud of his pick. Because Courfeyrac isvery fond of horror movies and for once Marius – who really isn’t that into allthe screaming and the chasing – has managed to bring something that actuallycounts as ‘scary’. Maybe it’s not quite horror, but it’s a proper ghost movieand an old favourite. It’s beautiful. And romantic.

They’re snuggledup on the couch, keeping snug under one of Feuilly’s knitted comforters, butboth with their own bowl of popcorn. Marius prefers salted and Courfeyrac makesa strange, caramelized molten sugar concoction. They settled on making separatebowls long ago. Especially since eating Courfeyrac’s caramel popcorn is arather noisy and sticky affair. Not that Courfeyrac seems to be finishing his,come to think of it.

Mariusglances sideways at him and to his surprise Courfeyrac’s eyes are very roundand rather wet.

On thescreen spectral hands stop just shy of touching their flesh-and-bloodcounterparts and Courfeyrac makes a sorrowful noise at the back of his throat.

“Are youokay?” Marius asks, slightly alarmed.

“Yes,”Courfeyrac swallows. “It’s just… It’s sad.”

Mariusblinks. People die in Courfeyrac’s movies all the time, gratuitously so.

Courfeyracsniffs and says in a voice that sounds dangerously wobbly: “They’ll never getto be together again.”

“But sheknows he didn’t forget her now,” Marius points out cautiously. “That he didn’tleave her on purpose.” He loves the ending of this story. It’s painful, but sobittersweet and beautiful. So very, deeply romantic. Lovers that never get tokiss and will love each other for ever even so…

“He nevereven got to hold her,” Courfeyrac hiccups and there are actual tears rollingdown his cheeks now.

Mariusgives him a helpless look. He never meant to make Courfeyrac cry.  He doesn’t think he’s ever seen Courfeyraccry. Not like this.

“I’m sorry,”he flounders, thinking of the right thing to say. “We can turn it off if—”

“No!” Courfeyrac protests. “I want to see howit ends, I just- Marius, she can’t even kiss him goodbye.” He wipes at his eyeswith his sleeves.

“You reallydon’t have to finish watching it if you don’t like it, I can tell you how itends,” Marius offers.

“Are youkidding!” Courfeyrac gasps. “It’s beautiful.”He sniffs loudly and Marius is relieved that he at least didn’t make a badchoice. He really does love this movie.

Lightfloods the screen, the string section of the music picks up again and tearswash down Courfeyrac’s face before either of the characters has even said aword. But apparently Courfeyrac doesn’t mind crying, so Marius supposes it’salright. It’s still hard to see though and it feels very strange to not do somethingabout it.

Mariuslooks at the screen, at the smiles full of star-crossed longing. It is sad, in a way. Courfeyrac makes thatsorrowful noise again and because he has nothing to say anymore, but he doesneed to do something, Marius reachesout and wraps his arm around Courfeyrac’s shoulder. Courfeyrac makes the noiseagain, but he leans into Marius embrace, resting his wet face against hisshoulder for a moment before looking back at the screen. So Marius just hugshim close and lets him cry, smiling a little in spite of himself. He is gladwhen Courfeyrac manages to laugh through his tears during the finale though,because while Marius is certainly more than happy to be holding Courfeyrac, he’smuch more used to being shaking with laughter than with sobs and he’d reallylike to keep it that way.

FINALLY here is my last Courfius Week work for this year, it’s a drawing of the date Courfeyrac and Marius planned in my Day 6 fic. The prompt was “Addendum: Missing Scene/Post-Canon” but I obviously went very off track with the prompt. It’s been an amazing week, y’all, can’t wait for next year! 

[blondeaus-funeral-oration]

Courfeyrac and Marius after the events of my Day 5 fic. The prompt was “Family: Lost/Found”

I… I went way off track with the prompt. It was “Addendum: Missing Scene/Post-Canon” but I thought “addendum… like a… hhh. Like one of those PS notes”. I dunno. I’m just going with it

Courfius week 2018 day 5: Family

I drew this entire thing in an afternoon and I’m dying…

I considered going for the angsty option when I saw this prompt but I’m a sucker for found family so here’re the boys with their family.

Courfius Week 2018 - Day 5: Lost Family.

A fake movie poster for the teen drama / paranormal horror movie based on Hey Marius by @decayingliberty

“Hey, Marius!

I changed the curtains in the living-room!

They are yellow now. I hope you don’t mind. I know blue is your favourite colour but looking at them made me blue, too. We can keep your Buonaparte posters instead (don’t let Enjolras know I said that, okay?).

Do you want to get anything else while I’m at the hardware store?

Call me.”

Courfius Week 2018 - Day 3: Canon Era

It wasn’t that he didn’t like Courfeyrac. He was a charming fellow, he just had a … a certain quality. An air around him, something Théodoule also possessed. Cocky, boyish, charming, handsome. Courfeyrac was dazzling in all the best and worst ways. When he entered a room, everything began to shine. All was warm and kind and wonderful - but Marius couldn’t help and wait for the inevitable downfall of this experience. Nothing that felt this good could last. The last time he’d felt so elated was after reconnecting with his father, only to remember once more that he had died just shy of meeting his only child.

Marius was expressive in his admiration of Cosette. He was loud and exuberant, dramatic and in love. He was not himself. Did he love her? He hardly knew her! Maybe he did, maybe he didn’t. But it was good to yell his love into the world, to have it overshadow what no one should know.

He was a quiet person by nature, keeping to himself most of the time. He didn’t know how to approach people first, he was unsure of social conventions and uncertain of himself. He was passionate and emotional - because finally, for the first time in his life, he wasn’t restricted, wasn’t reproached when he showed these parts of himself.

Or so he had thought.

Until Combeferre. Until Courfeyrac’s friends.

Maybe they weren’t bad people, and he still met some of them, went to the theatre and the opera. But he couldn’t shake the feeling that he served as entertainment for all of them - even for Courfeyrac. Who said they didn’t report back to the rest with an amused “you won’t believe what Marius said last evening”? So he stayed silent and waited for the fall-out.

Living with Courfeyrac did ease some of those fears though. Courfeyrac was nothing but kind and supportive, nothing but charming and gentle. Marius knew it was dangerous, knew he shouldn’t trust so much. But Courfeyrac’s warmth was too alluring. It radiated off him, seeping into every crack and nook within Marius, enveloping him a feeling he’d never had before. It was comfortable, familiar, safe. And it was scary.

Was a man supposed to feel this way about another man? Was it what his grandfather had always condemned or was it just the feeling of finally having a friendly face close by?

Was this what it felt like to have a friend? Maybe a best friend even? Could someone be anything else but a best friend if that someone was your only friend?

Marius wasn’t dumb. He saw the looks between Grantaire and Enjolras. He knew their friends were not opposed. So… if what he felt for Courfeyrac went above and beyond… no. It mustn’t be.

“I can hear you thinking,” came Courfeyrac’s voice from above Marius.

“I’m sorry.”

“Would you not rather sleep in the bed? There is enough space for the both of us.”

“The mattress is fine, thank you. I won’t inconvenience you.”

Courfeyrac sighed and fiddled for a while before lighting the candle on his nightstand. As soon as the flame flickered to life, the cat Marius had taken in from the street weeks prior jumped up onto the bed. He made an unhappy sound and settled next to Courfeyrac’s pillow.

“Monsieur Le Baron disagrees,” Courfeyrac laughed softly. “Monsieur Le Baron is warming your spot in the bed.”

Marius smiled softly and sat up. “And you promise it will not inconvenience you?”

“Cross my heart and hope to die.” Courfeyrac winked at him, filling Marius with a sensation unlike any other. 

Maybe it would be worth a shot. Maybe, if tomorrow would turn out to be a sunny day in May, he would sit in the park and think about Courfeyrac.
