I truly missed writing modern au LesMis fanfiction. I get to research fun things like:

- weather in Paris at all times of the year

- French party system (shout out to my old college lectures)

- How bad is the light pollution in Paris

- How did Ovid's metamorphosis start again?

- Symptoms of a skull fracture

- How long do certain broken bones need to heal

- How often do french people swear on average

- Cringe christmas card slogans

This years barricade day will be fun :)))

Today is the one year anniversary of the first fic I ever finished being uploaded to Ao3!

It’s canon-era and features Courfeyrac & Jehan getting up to revolutionary hijinks (with special guests Feuilly, Grantaire, Bahorel, Combeferre, Enjolras, and of course: Sword Cane)

If You Need A Little Sunshine

...and Courfeyrac knows it’s Jehan, he does – he’d know those eyes and that soft smile even if he were struck blind – but the transformation is-

“Incredible.” he breathes, and Jehan’s shoulders relax at last.

“This is fantastic,” Enjolras beams, striding forward and taking hold of Jehan’s shoulders for closer inspection. “Truly, Prouvaire, this is better than I’d allowed myself to hope.”

Combeferre also nears, scrutinising the hem of the neckline, “Chetta mentioned she’d made some adjustments?”

Jehan’s grin grew, eyes flashing to Courfeyrac before hiking his skirt up, “It’s essentially a rather remarkable set of pockets that doubles as a dress. I could fit a keg worth of gunpowder in the petticoat alone.”

DRAWTOBER #27 - If You Need A Little Sunshine by PieceOfCait

The revolution looms and Paris is crawling with National Guardsmen. Les Amis are desperate to move their extra munitions to where the barricades will rise, but have no discrete means for transport. Lucky for them, Courf is more than just a pretty face. He’s an ideas man.

day twenty seven is a reeeeallly really cute fic from last year’s fic exchange that has Jehan smuggling ammunition in a dress and Courfeyrac losing his shit over a swordcane - as well as TENSION and Grantaire being a shit and SMOOCHES!! it’s fantastic and really fun and I love it a lot. 

[incorrectly-quoted-les-mis]

Jehan: There’s an old Chinese proverb...lies are like tigers. They are BAD.

Courfeyrac: That’s it?

Jehan: It’s more poetic in Mandarin.

Hamlet-esque Les Mis AU

Imagine, if you will, Hamlet but with Les Amis and co. Melodramatic prince Courfeyrac (Hamlet) and his smart, witty classmate (read: boyfriend) Combeferre (Horatio) come back from university to find that Courf’s father has been killed and his uncle has ascended to the throne. Courfeyrac’s uncle is a tyrant and a rogue who is leading the country to ruin, not to mention the fact that Courf suspects the man had a hand in killing his father. Although he was not close to his father, Courfeyrac takes it upon himself to avenge his death after he and ‘Ferre see his ghost. However, Courf’s uncle realizes something is up and enlists the help of Bossuet and Joly (Rosencrantz and Guildenstern; I couldn’t find anyone bumbling enough to be the two courtiers so I just chose the two inseparable ones) to find out what. He also asks the lovely Jehan (Ophelia), Courfeyrac’s betrothed, to help find out what afflicts his nephew. They agree only because they are worried for Courf. The rest of the work follows the play very nearly, with Courfeyrac killing the wrong man, Jehan going mad and killing themself, Courf getting “abducted” by everyone’s favorite pirate captain Grantaire and his crew which includes Bahorel and Feuilly (really they know each other already and he’s hitching a ride). Courf returns with the pirates to discover Jehan is dead and not only that, Montparnasse (Laertes, though I am changing his relation to Ophelia), the ex-lover of Jean Prouvaire who still cared for them immensely even after they were betrothed to Courfeyrac, is back in town for the funeral. ‘Parnasse naturally blames Courfeyrac and challenges him to a duel. Combeferre begs him not to accept but Courf does anyway, the whole poison sword thing goes down and Courfeyrac dies in Combeferre’s arms. At the very end, Enjolras (Fortinbras), the good and just prince of the country to the north, enters. He had heard of the injustices the new king (Courf’s uncle) had been perpetrating and came to stop him. He is just in time to see the results of the carnage, not quick enough to save Courfeyrac...

Courfeyrac is so deep in denial about his own crush on Jehan that he starts serial dating any redhead he can find on Tinder.

It takes an intervention by Enjolras and Combeferre to finally make him face his actual feelings.
