tagged by @gemsofthegalaxy thank you v much this one is so fun!!!
"Copy the first few lines of your last ten fics, note any fun observations, then tag a few more friends."
I’m deciding to go for all WIPs in the hope that one of these will spark joy and I’ll start writing again
tagging @aromantic-enjolras @p-trichor @vamillepudding @a-rose-remembered @lessnearthesun @earthbound-in-doubt and anyone else who sees and wants to join in!
1. Untitled mob au
“Enjolras wonders, when his morning alarm starts going off, why he keeps setting said alarm for six am, when he knows he isn’t going to get out of bed at that time.”
He used to be able to, but he’s found it a lot more difficult since-
Grantaire, beside him, groans into his pillow. “Turn that fucking alarm off,” he grumbles, hand reaching blindly out for Enjolras.
(If I’m going to start a fic with established ExR you best believe it’s gonna have so much domestic fluff in it)
2. The completely ridiculous Dancing with the Stars AU I unironically considered for a while
Courfeyrac, predictably, laughs for roughly three minutes when Enjolras tells him. Enjolras knows it’s three minutes, more or less, because he alternates between giving Courfeyrac an unamused stare and checking his watch, while he waits for him to stop losing his shit.
(yeah, I don’t know if I could live with myself after this one, folks...)
3. ExR Friends to FWB to lovers
The first time- As is the case with most things for the two of them- it starts with an argument.
It’s-Well, technically, the meeting hadn’t ended when the two of them started yelling at each other from across the table- But for the sake of time Grantaire will call it the end of the meeting.
(I miiiight use this if the Take My Hand Big Bang runs again this year who knows)
4. ExR aromantic Enjolras (who doesn’t know he’s aro yet)
Eponine leaves her bike abandoned against the wall after skidding to a stop outside Bahorel’s apartment building. She takes the stairs two at a time and knocks frantically on the front door until it opens. Bahorel and Jehan are standing in the doorway, both looking supremely concerned.
(It’s a 500 Days of Summer au with non linear narrative so this is like day 290 or something)
5. Hunger Games AU
“We’re all very excited to have you on board,” the Head Game Maker tells him as he leads him through the plain white corridors of the Game Makers headquarters, “Some of our most talented Game Makers retired after the success of last year’s games, going out on a high note, you understand. We’re very much looking forward to getting a fresh perspective from some of our newer recruits.”
(this AU is going to be long but I am determined)
6. Eposette Killing Eve au
It’s a sunny day in Vienna, and Eponine is sitting under the shade of a restaurant parasol, enjoying an ice cream sundae.
(maybe when the final season comes out I’ll finally have the motivation to write this. Maybe not. Probably not tbh)
7. JBM travelling Europe fic
"Okay, I know it's maybe a bit late for me to ask," Grantaire asks as they walk through Gare de Lyon, "But are you sure about this?"
Bossuet adjusts his rucksack, wincing when the straps dig into his shoulders. "You know, your total lack of faith in me is kind of insulting."
(this would be cute as fuck tbh)
8. Eposette band au
“I need a favour.”
Cosette can always count on her brother to be straight to the point. She sets her watering can down on the tiny balcony table and pushes her phone more securely under her ear. “What’s up?”
(ok so I was listening to a lot of Maneskin and then I was like u know what Eponine deserves to play the bass and here we were.........)
9. Time loop au
It’s 10.33pm on the night of Grantaire’s 30th birthday, and he’s in the bathroom, staring at himself in the mirror.
(I have SO much of this written and then I abandoned it because I SUCK)
10. Jehan/Courfeyrac get together fic
“Okay, and I think that’s time for today,” Enjolras looks at his watch, then glances at Combeferre for confirmation, who nods. “Unless anyone has anything to add?”
I hate that my friends know what my family is like because if they didn't know I could say that's why they don't worry about me but they do know and they don't care anyway
