Aaaand here’s my @lesmis-bigbang picture to go with the amazing Conflict of Interest by Madlyie.

Seriously, check it out! It’s a murder mystery with romance hot lawyers and an expressive style.

Ten minutes after meeting, Grantaire decided that Enjolras was the closest thing that he would ever come to seeing a star in person. He was brilliant and beautiful and gave off enough light and energy that it would either kill everything in the immediate vicinity, namely Grantaire, or would bring life to any barren landscapes around him, namely Grantaire. It was absolutely detestable.

For eight long years, Jean Valjean has tried to do good in the town of Montreuil-sur-Mer, ever aware of the suspicious gaze of Javert. When a letter arrives from an escaped convict who claims to have recognized Madeleine as a former galley-slave, Valjean has no choice but to meet with his blackmailer. Soon, both Valjean and Javert find themselves in a situation they cannot escape, forcing Valjean to relive the suffering of his past, and Javert to doubt his duty for the first time in his life.

When Valjean stood to make his way to the window, pale and sweating, he found the streets busy. Was there a man waiting in the crowd for him even now? Was there someone watching this window, ready to point a finger and cry out Jean-le-Cric? With trembling hands he loosened his cravat, feeling as though he was choking on the gloom that seemed to close in on him. Then his eyes spied a darkness in the crowd: the tall, forbidding figure of Inspector Javert, stalking along the street like a shadow come to life, suspicious scowl hidden beneath a worn hat. For a moment, Javert stopped and raised his eyes to the window of the mayor’s office.

Posting your work!

Where:

Fic: All fic must go into the Les Mis Big Bang & Baby Bang collection. You can post a fic either by clicking the link above and then clicking ‘Post to Collection’ or posting a new work as normal and then typing ‘Les Mis Big Bang and Baby Bang’ into the ‘Post to Collections / Challenges’ field.

Fic do not have to be additionally submitted to the LMBB tumblr – I will cross-post them to that page. You may, of course, promote your own fic on your own tumblr as well.

Art: Art can be posted anywhere you like, tumblr, dA, spotify, whatever. You may, if you and your writer agree to, embed images into the fic itself. You will need to host the art online elsewhere, as AO3 does not have an image server; I would recommend imgur.

Art will need to be submitted to the LMBB tumblr, either by tagging your own tumblr post with ‘les mis big bang’ or, if you have posted elsewhere, by submitting a link to @lesmis-bigbang. Art embedded within a fic does not need to be submitted.

 When:

On your chosen posting date! To spread out the Les Mis love, we will aim to post two or three pairs of work every day starting from the 28th.

Your writer/artist pair will need to agree to post on the SAME day, and sign up for the day at this doodle poll.

You do not need to post at the same time, and we are flexible when it comes to timezones, so as long as you are posting on the right day for you, don’t worry about the time.

Once you have posted your work, you are free to distribute and show it off wherever you like!

 If you have any further questions, please send an email/ask.

Pinch hit needed

If you are an artist and would like to pick up the prompt below, or know someone who might be interested in making art for the prompt, please let me know asap ([email protected])! No worries if you aren’t previously signed up as a pinch-hitter or for the Big/Baby Bang at all.

#6 "Grantaire has always struggled with himself. He's struggled with his gender, with his sexuality, with his Colors, with his family; it's only fitting that he should struggle with falling in love too.

'Finding out that Enjolras loves him is, all at once, top priority and untouchable. Grantaire definitely needs to process it, but it’s like his brain is suddenly incompetent, completely incapable of handling the situation. Nobody has ever been in love with him before. It was always Grantaire putting his heart in harm’s way in the vain hope that his paramour would return his affections."

Sorted, thank you!

Check in #2!

Hello all! Time to check in again! Please just send a quick email to [email protected] to confirm your participation between the 21st April and 28th April.

You may check in as a pair. If you speak to your artist/writer and they’re fine with you checking them in as well, feel free to do so in a single email.

Now is the time to voice any concerns about availability or compatibility!

If your partner isn’t replying to messages, please also let me know!
