Re: enjolsette siblings

I feel like i've seen them depicted as either both Fantine's children, or alternatively as half siblings, but yesterday I got to thinking like...what if both of them were kids left (by different families) with the thernadiers, and when valjean goes to pick up cosette he sees enjolras and is like 'ah fuck. Tag along kid', or alternatively enjolras sees him picking up cosette and he's like 'this is my chance to run away'

Electra: Do I hold you now in my hands?

Orestes: Now and forever.

i'm pretty sure the basis for enjolras & cosette being twins/siblings comes from how they both have blond hair and blue eyes in their popular designs, but cosette isn't actually blond in the book. going by that logic, if you're going to give cosette a sibling, any of the amis are as equally likely as enjolras to be cosette's long-lost brother since none of them except him have described appearances and most of their ages aren't said. for example, you could say feuilly is identical to cosette and is 17 years old and it wouldn't even contradict canon, technically. feuilly/cosette twins au when.

“Thank you,” she whispered in his ear, which was responded with a nudge of his shoulder. Neither sibling let go of the other.

A quick doodle to celebrate 1000 hits on my enjolsette siblings fic How Marius Won the Hand [...] ! Thank you to all who have read, kudosed, and commented on it; I appreciate everyone who has interacted with it, even if you just read the first chapter. It really means a lot!

I'm still working on the next part of the series! Hope it comes out soon :)

Instead of working on the actual fic, I'm going to be sharing headcanons on my canon era Enjsette siblings au. I would probably mention some parts of it in the fic(s) I'll be sharing but if they never see the light of day, here are some of them! Shoutout to @pumpkinspice-prouvaire for inspiring this post <3

Fantine absolutely adored getting matching EVERYTHING for her kids: that goes for their names (Eugène and Euphrasie), their outfits, and even their hairstyles. She likes to match her hairstyles with them as well :')

Speaking of hair, since Enjolras has the same hair as her, she lets it grow out so that she can comb and style it. He may be 3 years old but he sure has a ton of hair

When they get placed with the Thenardiers, just as how Mme. Thenardier was Cosette's main tormentor, M. Thenardier would be Enjolras'

Other than the canonical heavy labour Cosette had to do, Enjolras would be sent out to pickpocket from the inn's customers and the rest of the town's inhabitants as well

Whenever Enjolras got caught, Thenardier would put on a big act and punish him in front of whoever was the victim ("My sincerest apologies, good monsieur/madame! He must have gotten his nastiness from his good-for-nothing mother.") before taking him away and just punishing him once more for getting caught

(And I'm not saying this is where Enj would get his immensely deep-rooted sense of injustice from but im NOT not saying that either :))

Cosette and Enjolras would try to take the brunt of the punishments for each other but that just became getting twice the punishment. Eventually, they learnt to just rely and comfort each other afterwards

When Valjean comes to find them, he buys Catherine for Cosette and a toy soldier for Enjolras. He named him Jacques.

Enjolras took longer than Cosette to warm up to Valjean (M. Thenardier was his tormentor after all, so his trust in male authority figures was already low), but eventually grew to trust him once his sister did

Enjolras especially loved hearing Valjean read to him. Valjean read the usual children's books and fairytales but when Enjolras began begging for more, he just gave up and started reading anything he could get his hands on: history, philosophy, etc. (which is why Enjolras turned out Like That)

When they move to the convent, while Cosette went to school, Enjolras stayed in the hut and continued being taught by Valjean (and Fauchelevent!) While Cosette was intended to become a nun, Enjolras was to take over as the convent gardener

Cosette would run up to the hut and chat with Enjolras whenever it was playtime- they would exchange whatever they had learnt during the day

Slowly, Enjolras got his hands on more and more radical books, teaching himself about the current political climate of France and devoting all his time to reading and (attempting to) write his own essays

Eventually, when the family left the convent, it was partially to allow Enjolras to pursue his new-found interest in politics as well as the canonical reason of letting Cosette explore society.

Due to their difference in interests, Enjolras and Cosette grew apart, though all 3 family members clearly still cared for one another deeply

Understanding the dangers of dabbling in politics, he decided to go by a moniker in order to keep his private family away from his public affairs. Thus, Enjolras was born.

This is where my fics begin to pick up from so I guess no more spoilers (??) Hope this made some bit of sense or at the very least, the drawings were enjoyable! :D
