And here's my second collab for@thebanguette !! I illustrated the fic Fancy Meeting you there written by Mauness /@meow-taire. Because just tell me "meet cute with Bahorel and Feuilly" and I'm melting !
Fic rating is Not rated (but general audience). Summary : Bahorel is low-key studying law. He meets a new barista at his usual coffee shop. A cute new barista, who also seems to be at a tattoo parlor, and at the local library...
That was fun to do and NOT EVEN HELLISH as usual ! Except for perspective, but I liked doing it, in fact. As all the wood.
Me ? Using always the same café for all my fics and other projects (and even when it's not mine) ? It's more likely than you think.
[image ID : Bahorel and Feuilly are standing on both sides of a coffeeshop, with Feuilly as the barista. Bahorel, a tall man with darker skin, long tied black hair and a beard, is leaning on the counter and smiling at Feuilly. He's wearing a black leather jacket with a pride flag on the sleeve, black leggings and red zipped boots. Feuilly, a smaller white man with short red hair and freckles, is smiling back while wiping a glass. He's wearing a white shirt, a green apron and jeans. There are several plants on the counter and in the room. Behind Feuilly, lots of coffeeshop things are stacked : a coffee machine, coffee, tea and viennoiseries. Behind Bahorel, part of the room opens on another space with several tables, a stage with a microphone, and a large painting where large colorful blots form the words "Art is life". end ID]
This day was focused on the future. I am focusing on something that Victor Hugo stole from us: Valjean meeting his grandchild. Javert is there too, of course. It is my happy ending! Fight me!
Also, I wasn’t sure which one to pick so I’m uploading both (I didn’t have time to do the frame 😭)
No man does it all by himself by @italianjavert (M)
Jean Valjean allows himself a night to let go of the anxieties that come with getting older – big mistake.
He is suddenly pulled into a world he knows but barely understands, figures from his past return to haunt his dreams and waking moments, and an intriguing mystery hiding behind a leather mask begins to unravel its web.
Oh. And the worst thing of it all?
His beloved daughter has a boyfriend.
for @thebanguette i did a collab with enea and drew for his really sexy valjean polycule 80s au of gay dads :) so here’s them embarrassing cosette at pride 🏳️🌈
(genflou and robert are from the 1952 movie, aka gee valjean how come hollywood let you have two boyfriends AND javert)
Characters: Grantaire (Les Misérables), Enjolras (Les Misérables), Les Amis de l’ABC (Les Misérables)
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Alternate Universe - Magical Realism, Alternate Universe - Reincarnation, a whole lot of dancing, and Enjolras having Feelings, Reunions, Fluff and Angst, banguette 2021
Series: Part 2 of Dreamed Symphony
Summary:
“Enjolras promises himself that this is the last dream he wields without Grantaire in his chair, sipping his drink. Next time, Combeferre’s magic will have sensed something, anything about him, and Bossuet’s will have found some lead to him. Next time, Enjolras will know what Grantaire looks like now. He will know Grantaire.”
Reunited with all but one of les Amis’ reincarnations, Enjolras wields dream magic to lead Grantaire home.

This is a companion piece to museinabsentia’s fic Dancing in the Dark, written for @thebanguette 2021. This fic will make very little sense without reading muse’s fic first, as it covers very specific moments of her fic from Enjolras’ pov, and only refers to the general plot. So I highly recommend you read Dancing in the Dark first, especially as it slaps and muse did an incredible job with the world building!

My contribution to the banguette, an event to create Les Mis fan content in time for barricade day. This illustration is depicting a scene from a fic written by @xhades-aidoneusx
Here’s the fic I wrote for @thebanguette! I’ve never worked so hard on anything in my life, and I really, really hope you enjoy it.
Armillaria: Modern AU, Courfeyrac/Marius. Rated M, no archive warnings apply.
Marius Pontmercy moves into his new apartment, ready for a fresh start, only to discover he’s not the only person living there. Well, he’s the only living person there. Courfeyrac, his unintended new roommate, is a ghost.
A story about trust, mushrooms, memory, befriending old professors, love, a box of VHS tapes, and the future.

Accompanied by this absolutely incredible piece of art by @lafcadiosadventures that nearly made me weep tears of joy when I saw it, please go look.

Summary:
Enjolras, while running from the barricade, ends up saving Javert's life and thus begins the start of an unlikely friendship as Javert focuses on redemption through saving a student on trial. Enjolras finds conflict within, as he cannot forgive Javert, while Javert finds conflict with where his loyalties lie.
My fic for the Les Mis mini-big bang, aka The Banguette.
Rated for barricade violence and mature themes discussing Javert's spoiler. (Hunger Games is much worse, but there are content warnings at the beginning of each chapter!)

Organization for Transformative Works
Enjolras closes the door behind him with even composure. His breath is a firm three beats in, three beats out through the removal of his shoes and the hanging up of his backpack, and when he fills a glass of water at the sink, his hands are perfectly steady.
He is not upset.
A rally doesn't go as expected, and Enjolras receives help working through it. (rated G)
Warnings: alcohol abuse (ch 2)
A collaborative work with @thepiecesofcait and @thecandlesticksfromlesmis for @thebanguette!! Check out the other parts:

I had the unimaginable delight of partnering with @shitpostingfromthebarricade and @thecandlesticksfromlesmis for @thebanguette this year and am so extremely hyped to share the sum of our efforts!
You can read the (phenomenal) fic here and watch the (incredible) short film here.
This project was something so far outside of anything I’ve ever attempted before and it’s just been an utter joy to work with such a spectacular crew. I hope y’all enjoy it!

My contribution to @thebanguette is a collaboration between myself, @shitpostingfromthebarricade and @thepiecesofcait!
shitpostingfromthebarricade wrote the fic that you can read here!
thepiecesofcait drew the art featured in the short film!
And @maroonwombat and I made the short film!
For all my followers out there who aren't into angst--THIS IS THE SHORT FILM FOR YOU. Shitpostingfromthebarricade wrote a lovely little story about how important it is to always try again, even when it feels impossible and, of course, about the power of friendship. Thepiecesofcait's art featured in the film helps bring that power alive in a simple, yet elegant way that's sure to bring a smile to your face.
