Summary:
In autumn 1837, unrest threatens to break out in Montréal and the surrounding countryside. After years of oppression under British rule, the French-speaking populace of Lower Canada is ready to revolt.
As the conflict edges closer to violent rebellion, Jean Valjean, frightened for his daughter, considers fleeing south of the border into the United States. Meanwhile, Inspector Javert of the Montreal Police is recruited as a spy for the British…
Hi!I hope you're doing well! I'm in love with your beautiful fic "A Substitute for Words." I'm crying into my phone. Please post more chapters when you can.

Summary: That unswerving gaze that Valjean had ever felt boring into the back of his neck as he walked the careful tightrope of mayor, of Madeleine. Those gimlet eyes that even as the years had passed assessed and studied, always sharp and quick and stubborn when they alighted upon Valjean; and now, wholly beloved, glimmering before him with suppressed need and longing, the weight of his head supported entirely by Valjean’s hands, the leather stock scraping the thin, scarred skin on the inside of Valjean’s wrists.
Valjean said, in the unshakable and implacable voice of power and influence that Javert had always responded to—that even now he wanted to yield to—“Javert. I would like you to do as I tell you, tonight.”

“I’ll be watching you,” Javert said, narrowing his eyes and thumping his truncheon to emphasize his point. “I’ll be listening from just the room over and I sleep very lightly so I’ll hear it if you try to sneak out at night.”
“More likely, you’ll hear Cosette crying if I try to sneak out at night,” Valjean corrected placidly.
Five times Javert threatens arrest (sort of), in which Cosette is a baby, and Javert grants Valjean the three days he asks for—but of course just ends up raising a baby.

blood turning to sand
The troubling thing about it is that Valjean had not been seeking Javert when she found her, face-up in the sand, looking for all the world as if she had already left it.
alternatively: this town ain't big enough for the both of 'em!
