I'm kinda new to les mis I've only listened to it for a few months and it wasn't until 2 weeks ago I looked at fandom content. But I've been reading a ton of Enjoltaire fanfics (I need to put the fanfiction down) with a common trope of Enjolras losing his patience with Grantaire and snapping at him for being a drunk or cynical or just existing in general. And it usually ends with Grantaire just leaving like a kicked dog and such since I've learned he's got awful self worth whether that's canon or fanon.
But if anyone hasn't already ( I haven't read ALL the fanfics because dear lord, there's A LOT) you should write it with a twist where Grantaire has had it with being ridiculed by Enjolras so he interrupts, and shouts at him mid way and Enjolras is taken aback by it while Grantaire FULLY goes off at him, because it would be interesting to see him be put in his place, wink wink.
I hope I don't sound goofy for suggesting this if it is an idea people wrote about a million times, I wouldn't be shocked, but then again Grantaire gets written to be someone who worships enjolras and would take his own life if enjolras demanded it, if thats not too dark to say, so I do doubt peopl would think he'd ridicule him back. I'm so scared to post this idk why I've never posted to this fanbase before.
First off, welcome to the fandom. I promise we’re nice.
Yeah I’d say Grantaire’s sense of self worth in canon is basically nonexistent. I need to read the brick again but I believe there was one scene where he gets drunk then just starts crying because he realizes Enjolras doesn’t like him.
Also, I recommend this for your next Enjoltaire fic if you’re into long fics: World Ain’t Ready. It’s so good. I need to finish reading it 😭✌️
Thanks for welcoming me to the fandom chat, it probably shouldn't be but hearing Grantaire gets drunk and cries over Enjolras sounds so fucking funny to me. The fic you recommended isn't depressing is it? I wouldn't be surpised if it is bc it's les mis but so many just write about Enjolras getting brutalised by the national guards and it's just so concerning.
