#the descent into misery and Other Things That Ruined My Life: An Autobiography by wiseinlove
The St. Louis Star and Times, Missouri, June 16, 1942
a very self indulgent canon era or book!enjolras that i wasted a day on
Detachment
āYouāve raised my child with loveā
The direct result of watching Tangled while one is wretched with Les Miserables feelings.
can you do fantine and valjean for the platonic ship ask thing? :)
Oh, that sounds like a fun one! Ā Thanks for asking! Ā ^_^ Ā
(If anyone else would like to send me platonic ships/friendships, feel free!)
who steals french fries off the otherās plate?
I⦠honestly canāt see EITHER of them doing that. Ā I can see them politely asking for a French Fry if they wanted one. Ā I can also see Valjean offering Fantine fries if she looks hungry or has simply run out of her own. Ā But I canāt see either of them taking without asking.
who jokingly moves in for the kiss when someone asks if theyāre a couple?
Fantine.Ā No question.Ā I donāt think it would occur to Valjean at all.Ā Heād probably just look bewildered.Ā XD
who has to bust or bail the other out of jail?
I think that both Valjean and Fantine go pretty far out of their way to stay on the right side of the law these days.Ā Theyāve both been failed by the system before and have no desire to tangle with it again.Ā HOWEVER, in the face of a threat to Cosette?Ā Or a grave miscarriage of justice caused by said system?Ā Theyāre right in the middle of the fray, side-by-side.Ā Which is AWESOME⦠except that they also end up sitting in that overnight jail cell side-by-side and have to call someone else to bail them BOTH out.Ā ;D
who gives the other advice/comfort about dating issues?
I pretty much headcanon Valjean as ace and often aro/ace and pretty clueless when it comes to romance.Ā And Fantine⦠I think that after her experiences, sheās a bit gunshy about sex and romance, too.Ā So, I donāt really see either of them offering advice to the other.Ā I see Valjean as the kind of person who doesnāt give their heart or casual affection lightly, and after being in prison for so long, heās a little starved for positive touch.Ā Fantine may be more open-hearted, but sheās so afraid of being hurt that she doesnāt reach out to or bond to others as easily as she once did.Ā So, I could see them both offering all the comfort in the world when one of them was feeling isolated or touch-starved.Ā ^_^
who shamelessly cheats at games by reaching over to cover the otherās eyes?
Fantine, often assisted by Cosette.Ā They are both So Shamelessly Obvious at cheating, and Valjean just thinks its adorable, and is honestly happier seeing them win than he would be winning himself, so he plays into it to the hilt.
who immediately calls dibs on the top bunk?
I donāt think either of them call dibs on the top bunk, but I could see them both agreeing that putting Valjean on the bottom bunk makes much more sense.Ā That way, if he has to get up in the middle of the night, heās less likely to wake Fantine.
who starts and who wins the pillow fights?
Fantine starts them AND wins them.Ā Sheās full of far more āfight meā than Valjean, and she takes ruthless advantage of the fact that Valjean always pulls his punches, being far too aware of his own size and strength.Ā So when Fantine starts a pillow fight, Valjean just kind of resigns himself to being pummeled.
who says āyour pants would look better on their floorā to the otherās potential crush
It would never occur to Valjean to say it, and since Valjean doesnāt have any crushes, Fantine never gets the opportunity, so⦠*shrugs*
I love one (1) man
@aroacevaljean asked for Fantine and Cosette songs!
Fantine -Ā āYou Saidā by Eurielle. I can only imagine how betrayedĀ she felt after Tholomyes fucked off to wherever.Ā
Cosette - wait for me from hadestownĀ āNew Lifeā by Thomas Bergersen. Itās a lovely warm orchestral piece and I like focusing on the happier parts of Cosetteās life thank you very much
Fantine and tiny Cosette -Ā āNaru, Embracing the Lightā from the Ori and the Blind Forest soundtrack. Itās literally the music from a scene of a mother and her tiny light-spirit child playing in the woods itās so light and happy and sweet and thatās what they deserve
(less serious addition:Ā āAdieuā by Coeur de Pirate? Fantine says fuck you Tholomyes)
GRYFFINDOR:
āI wanna stand up, a hundred feet tall āCause fear will never lead the way Iām ready to run, a hundred miles strong I will never be the same Waking the lions in me Iām waking the lions in meā

Gustave Jean Jacquet (1846 - 1909)
A lady in 1905 minding her business on the trolley when she suddenly spots a man across the way with leering eyes:
triumvirate + text posts
McCoy is the ride or die (boy)friend
Eponine and Javert
The peasants of Asturias are convinced that in every litter of wolves there is one dog, which is killed by the mother because, otherwise, as he grew up, he would devour the other little ones.
Give to this dog-son of a wolf a human face, and the result will be Javert. āLMĀ 1.5.5
(Eponine) began to laugh in a terrible way:ā
āAs you like, but you shall not enter here. Iām not the daughter of a dog, since Iām the daughter of a wolf. There are six of you, what matters that to me? You are men. Well, Iām a woman. You donāt frighten me. I tell you that you shanāt enter this house, because it doesnāt suit me. If you approach, Iāll bark. I told you, Iām the dog, and I donāt care a straw for you. Go your way, you bore me! Go where you please, but donāt come here, I forbid it! You can use your knives. Iāll use kicks; itās all the same to me, come on!āāLM 4.8.4
While this sort of a dog with a human face was mounting guard over the gate, and while the six ruffians were yielding to a girl, Marius was by Cosetteās side. -LM 4.8.6
When they had crossed this barrier, they found themselves alone in the lane. No one saw them. Among the heap they could distinguish a livid face, streaming hair, a pierced hand and the half nude breast of a woman. It was Ćponine. The corner of the houses hid them from the insurgents. The corpses carried away from the barricade formed a terrible pile a few paces distant.
Javert gazed askance at this body, and, profoundly calm, said in a low tone:
āIt strikes me that I know that girl.ā-LM 5.1.19
(Hapgood translation, bolding mine)Ā
