Café Society fic by lizamezzo art by orlofsky (warning for alcohol and innuendo; also, illustrations on this fic are throughout the text!) **** “I am not going to Momus.”
“But —“
“No.”
“Musichetta, my love, the plan—“
“Was made by you, not me. I’ll prepare a hero’s welcome for your return, but my foot does not cross the threshold of Café Momus. Especially not in these shoes.”
Joly cast his eyes down. They were red, a deep-dyed scarlet, with sweetly worked embroidery and delicate heels that had long since left their precise imprint upon his heart. Musichetta, in these shoes, was not to be questioned.

This is the highly ridiculous thing I wrote for the Midsummer Mini Mis Fest exchange, in which Joly and Bossuet take Grantaire to Café Momus for his birthday and they encounter the four Bohemians from La Bohème. Also starring Jean Prouvaire, Courfeyrac, Bahorel, Musichetta, Floréal and Irma Boissy.
(I couldn't edit under the Read More, so I have to beg your pardon for a couple of typos and at least one flat-out mistake. I'll have to post a final edit at some point...)
This was my first fanwork event, so many thanks to pilferingapplesfor making it happen! This was also my first time working with an artist in this context, and I can vouch that orlofsky is both an amazing artist and a fantastic person to work with. Clicking the Read More will bring you face to face with the marvels they wrought; you can imagine how blown away I was when those pieces of beauty landed in my inbox. Seriously, their art is made of pure weapons-grade awesome, and my hat is perpetually off to them.
Many thanks to those who have said kind things! I will seriously run around tumblr high-fiving everyone who even takes the time to read this. (Hugs are also on offer, if desired.)
