All ships are valid, but mostly Marisette

The one big difference between the musical and the book that really irks me is the portrayal of the Marius/Eponine relationship vs the Marius/Cosette relationship. It's almost like the development of the two relationships got flipped.

Musical!Marius and Cosette get a lot of flack for being the stereotypical "love at first sight, married in days" bullcrap you see all over the place and Musical!Marius amd Eponine get to have the developed friendship that seems to go way back. It almost makes you root for Eponine over Cosette by design.

Meanwhile, Book!Marius and Cosette go through an overly-complicated courtship that lasts more than a year. They have a humorous courtship based on eye-contact for sometime before meeting in her garden several times and talking late into the night. Even before that they were vaguely aware of each other's existance and thought nothing of each other for a while. So, definitely not love at first sight, and definitely not married in days.

When I first saw the movie, I got the impression that Eponine and Marius had been childhood friends. That might have just been me, but at the very least it gives off strong impressions of a deep, long friendship. However, in the book Eponine lives next door to Marius when he first moves out. He doesn't even realize she's a girl until part way through the book, and though Eponine is head-over-heels in love with him, they barely know each other. I would call them acquaintances before I would call them friends. He doesn't even recognize her at first when she's wounded. She has to tell him who she is before he gets sad that she's dying. And it's only a little sad too. Certainly no, "A Little Fall of Rain" moment. She asks him to kiss her forehead and he's a little baffled but then again he's Marius, baffled is his key character trait.

I went into the book expecting this great backstory for the Marius/Eponine friendship and instead got a long-winded, if humorous, courtship between Marius and Cosette and I am one hundred percent okay with that. I just feel like they did us a little dirty in portraying that relationship in the musical and movie.

Marius/Cosette Drabbles Masterpost

AU three-sentence drabbles. What it says on the tin. ;)

…

 ANONYMOUS: MARIUS AND COSETTE AS KIM POSSIBLE AND RON STOPABLE.

“What’s the sitch?” she yells into the earpiece, eyes scanning her surroundings as she waits for Combeferre’s reply - damn it, she’s going to be so late to the cheer meet, her coach is gonna kill her.

Suddenly she hears a frantic yell and, with a sinking feeling in her gut, recognizes the voice.

Twenty minutes later, after extracting her best friend from the grasp of several armed guards, knocking them all unconscious, he turns to her with a sheepish smile and says, “Uh…I found alarm switch?”

…

…

LYDIAMARTINLY: COSETTE IS AFRAID TO FALL ASLEEP. (MARIUS/COSETTE)

She’s afraid of the dark (too many times locked inside closets for misbehaving when she was fostered with the Thenardiers), but Marius can’t sleep unless it’s pitch-black, so she keeps quiet and makes do.

One night, though, she’s just…frightened - for no reason at all, really, but the fear still shakes her bones and freezes the blood in her veins, so she curls into a ball and pretends she’s anywhere but here, here, here.

Then gangly arms wrap around her, a clumsy hand lifts to turn the lamp on, and Marius starts a random story about his aunt’s dogs - just talking and talking and talking while he rubs warmth back into her body, chasing away the fear until she falls asleep, her ear pressed tight against the calming sound of his heartbeat.

Title: Miscommunication

Pairing: Marius/Cosette

Rating: G

When Marius tells Courfeyrac about his girlfriend, the other man just blinks. "There is a woman interested in you, and you haven't even told me until now? Her name is Cosette, you say?" he asks slowly. "And she lives with her father?"

Marius nods enthusiastically. "Yes, and she truly likes me! We are going out tonight, at 7. This will be our 6th date, and I would like to look nicer than usual. Would you help me choose something to wear?" When Courfeyrac nods, Marius is ecstatic. "Oh, thank you!"

Courfeyrac can only hold down a fit of laughter. "Alright, then, we should go get you something now, seeing that it's already 6:30. Do you have any preference of clothes? Does your girlfriend?"

Marius shakes his head. "I doubt that she would care too much about what I am to wear, but I would prefer to look nice. I have been alternating between the two same outfits these past few dates, but tonight feels special."

Courfeyrac grins and rests a hand on Marius' shoulder. "I will let you borrow something of mine, if you would like. They may not be as...fitted to your body as they are to mine," he says quietly, running his eyes up and down Marius (who folds his hands over his chest protectively and scowls at his friend), "but I do believe they will be quite comfortable. Follow me."

As Marius lets himself be led into Courfeyrac's room, he fumbles nervously with the hem of his shirt. Dates always gave him a nervous, sinking feeling in his stomach, even though he was sure Cosette was the one for him.

"Are you alright?" Cosette asks as they ate. 

Marius shakes himself out of his trance and notices that Cosette's head is cocked to the side, and her eyes wide with worry. She looks adorable. "Yes," he says with a nod, "You are just such a beautiful lady."

Cosette blinks in confusion, then her eyes widen. "Oh. Oh my!" She begins to giggle profusely.

As he looks at her in confusion, Marius tugs at his shirt collar nervously. What had he done wrong this time? "Uh, I'm...sorry?" he tries, trying his best to smile at Cosette.

"Oh, oh, I'm sorry," Cosette apologizes. She takes a deep breath. "It's just that, the thing is, I'm not a girl."

Marius freezes and stares at her. "You...what?"

Cosette blushes and looked down at her hands, her grin faltering. "I am not a girl. I'm sorry if I led you on. You see, I've never quite been interested in any of your traditional "men's" stuff. I do prefer my long hair and dresses, but yes, I am a boy. I did not realize that you thought otherwise." She (no, he, Marius reminds himself) shifts uncomfortably. "You may leave now, if you'd like. I'm sorry."

Marius lets out a sigh he didn't know he was holding in. "Oh, my goodness. I was worried you were breaking up with me," he mutters. He looks down at his own hands for a minute as they twitch with uncertainty before reaching across the table and taking a hold of Cosette's. "Don't fret, my dear. I am not leaving. I am not mad, either."

Cosette cocks his head to the side, but his mouth begins to quirk up again (but he doesn't quite let it, in fear of getting his hopes up). "You're not leaving me. But why?"

Marius shifts his weight slowly. "Cosette, I am...a boy too, yes. You know that, of course. But, you see...I was not...born a man. My body has betrayed me in that it is the body of a woman, but I am not a woman. I did not wish to lie to you about it or anything, but...it's been hard."

Cosette tightens his grip on Marius' hand with a smile. "Do not apologize. I understand completely. I would never have guessed, though. Which is good, yes!"

Marius blushes.

"You are a very handsome man," Cosette purrs, lowering his voice. "And do not let anyone convince you otherwise." He straightens his back and looks around. "Well, since we are done, would you like to go? We can walk in the park."

Marius nods eagerly (a little too eagerly, he realizes, but there's not much he can do about that) and hooks arms with Cosette. "Of course, my love."
