Welcome to the tumblr of Rue Plumet, the Les Misérables Prompt Fest!This is a prompt-based fest focused on the creation of all forms of fanart (be it fic, art or video) of Les Misérables, regardless of its verse.Claiming Post open until September 18th!t!
The Amis are reincarnated in the 21st century, but when Grantaire meets Enjolras, he is shocked that -while Grantaire himself has worked hard- Enjolras has given up hope on the world, drinks, and doesn't even care to smile anymore.
“I changed for you“, Grantaire cries. “I remembered everything so early in this new life that I never even drank a single drop of alcohol in this century! I didn’t smoke, I didn’t do drugs, I didn’t skip classes. I- I was good!
“For you! All I could think of was that if I am here, then you have to be here, too, and- and if we met one day I wanted you to be proud of me!
”But this? This isn’t- this isn’t the Enjolras I’ve loved and admired!”

Read on AO3
Summary: She's there, with the smile he learned to recognize life after life, with her wild green eyes; she's there in front of him, shaking Bossuet's hand like it's not important. She's there.

Written for the following prompt on Rue Plumet Fest 2013:
Enjolras works as a teacher at a highschool and Grantaire works at the AV guy and Enjolras is hopelessly lost among all the new technology and he has to call Grantaire in every other day to deal with problems and Grantaire being himself picks arguments with Enjolras’ powerpoints and videos that he shows and they argue but he helps out and fixes everything anyways and eventually Enjolras ends up just coming up with problems for Grantaire to help him with and Grantaire is all “i can fix that” and even the students ship them.
Emily wrote show me the glint of light on broken glass (Enjolras/Grantaire; PG; 8.7k)

“We’re told, ladies and gentlemen, that this is the very chandelier which figures in the famous disaster—”
Courfeyrac closes his eyes lightly at Joly’s voice – and flashes of light, bright colors, elaborately painted sets, and that voice – his voice – comes to his mind.
[...]
Courfeyrac looks at the chandelier in all of its restored glory. It looked as good as that day, that not so distant day…

[FIC] I Thought Leaders Didn't Get Sick (Enjolras/Grantaire; PG)
Author: toastandbrokenpromises (tumblr)
Title: I Thought Leaders Didn't Get Sick
Pairing(s)/Character(s): Enjolras/Grantaire, Joly, Bossuet, Jehan
Rating: PG

[ART] Untitled Superhero AU (Bossuet/Joly/Grantaire; G)
Artist: Lauren (acesius @tumblr)
Title: Untitled Superhero AU
Characters: Joly/Bossuet/Grantaire
Rating: G
Summary: OP asked for superheroes, I may have gone a little overboard designing a superhero AU (complete with obligatory Magical Girl pose).
Original Prompt Number: #29
Artist's Notes: KEEPING IT BRIEF in regards to relative superpowers, I gave Bossuet Power Augmentation - he can boost the abilities of others for a short time through skin contact (he can’t turn it off, so he wears gloves). Jolllly, with his ailes, has Wing Manifestation going on, but also Induced Healing. Again it only works through skin contact, but he can sense what’s wrong (aided by his medical knowledge) and either heal someone completely or get them well on their way to full health. Grantaire, the poor wee bairn, gets uncontrollable Telepathic Perception. He can hear everyone’s minds - within a certain radius - all the time, and he’s not very good at shutting them all out (alcohol helps).
THERE ARE MORE RAMBLINGS and also some doodles, so come find me after the reveal if you're interested.

Author's/Artist's/Vidder's notes (if any): I tried to combine the book and the musical into one for this fic, so please forgive this attempt if it doesn’t fit your expectations, especially that of the prompter.

Pairing(s)/Character(s): Enjolras/Grantaire, Enjolras, Grantaire

[FIC] The lightning in me (Enjolras/Grantaire; PG-13)
Author: Luchia (AO3)

Rating: PG-13
Summary: Ever since as far back as he can remember, Patrick Laurent has been angry. (Reincarnation AU)
Warnings (if any): ACTUAL REINCARNATION which means sort of character death? They’re already dead though, so. Content includes characters with severe PTSD, touch sensitivity, anger issues.
Total Word Count/Length: 18,200w
Original prompt number: #3: Enjolras and Grantaire are reincarnated and find each other in modern times. Their lives, however, are drastically different from the first time around, in that Grantaire, thanks to having had a better life this time around, is rather idealistic, while Enjolras, having had it worse, has grown somewhat cynical.
So, basically, yes, I want a role-reversal reincarnation AU.
Author's/Artist's/Vidder's notes (if any): This deviated from the prompt significantly while I plotted and wrote it. Roles are definitely reversed, but it’s not their upbringings that changed them.
I was wondering, since I don't see anything else getting posted, when authors/artists are going to be revealed? Or is there more to post? ^_^
Hello, thank you for asking. The mods had some unforeseen emergencies, but we should be back to regular scheduled posting.There will be a post about reveals once all the works are up.
Author: mikkey_bones (AO3)
Title: Fatalitas!
Pairing(s)/Character(s): Joly/Musichetta, Joly/Bossuet/Musichetta
Rating: G
Summary: The year is 1905. Joly, Bossuet, and Grantaire stage a robbery, and consider themselves gentlemen burglars; Grantaire considers the inevitable end of their professional careers.
Warnings (if any): burglary, anarchy
Total Word Count/Length: 2,598w
Original prompt number: #29
Author's/Artist's/Vidder's notes (if any): The title was inspired by a common phrase used by Gaston Leroux in his French pulp novel series Chéri-Bibi; it's also common in prison tattoos of the era.
The story itself was inspired by the activities of anarchist gangs in the Belle Epoque, and the character of Arsène Lupin, gentleman cambrioleur, who was in turn inspired by an anarchist named Marius. It all comes full circle.
Author: Wallflower (AO3)
Title: What Goes Around, Comes Around
Characters: Jean Valjean, Javert
Rating: PG, I think.
Summary: Valjean's past comes back to haunt him.
Warnings: Um. This was written in two pieces and then stuck together, beware of the seam? I can't think of anything else.
Total Word Count/Length: 2,919
Original prompt number: 26
Author's notes: The author is dissatisfied with the quality here, but my beta reminds me that I'm always dissatisfied with my work and she likes it anyway. Constructive criticisms welcome, is all I can say.
