Post to tumblr your Valvert content during the designated week, tagging this blog ( @valvertweek ) and, if you want, add the tag #valvert week. I will check the tag daily but it's better to tag the blog since tumblr is bad at searching tags.
Belated works will get reblogged too, just less often.
What type of media can you post?
All media types are accepted. Fanart, fanfic, fancam, playlist, plushie, Arm Joe playthrough, moodboard, cosplay, gifset, POV tiktok, embroidering etc.
- For Fics:
If you post to AO3 or other fanfiction site please post a link to the fic with a short summary or a short snippet and content warnings if applicable.
Short fics can be posted directly on tumblr if you want. Longer fics I recommend using an external link, but they'll be reblogged either way.
- Reblogging old work/ reposting:
Posting your old stuff is also accepted. The point of the week is to have fun and share your work.
Following the theme:
This year we're trying something different: we have both a Theme and a Prompt List! Following either of them is totally optional. I do recommend trying it tho because it's fun!
NSFW Content and Warnings:
This blog will not curate the content reblogged during the week, so there may be content you disagree with/ dislike.
I will tag any NSFW content as such, and any trigger warnings I see fit (for example: 'suicide tw' for mention of it or implied). Feel free to ask me to tag something in particular.
Official Date for Valvert Week 2026 set: june 21st - 27th
The week will have both a theme (pick belowwww) and an even more optional prompt-list based on said theme (I'll be coming up with the prompts myself because we're running very close to the deadline!!).
As usual, being on-theme will be optional but it *is* more fun.

Propaganda below the cut:
Major Rivers Of France: this one was a joke but I'm including it. "love the major rivers theme too, I'm going to drop javert into water in various scenic locations"
Genres: "you could do genre themes (scifi/fantasy/slice of life/whatever)"
"Maybe in another life": "Is it a sad goodbye? Is it the start of something new? Is it a rebirth/reincarnation AU? You decide!"
Supernatural/Fantasy AU: "May it be mermaids, fairies, vampires, werewolves, superheros or whatever you like - put them in situations! And in alternate universes"
Parents: "Did they raise Cosette together? Or maybe have other kids too (multiple AUs possible here too? Make Valvert parents ❤️❤️❤️".
Adding my own two cents here: both of them have really complicated feelings on their own parents too.
Identity: "It can be looked at from many different angles - sexuality, gender, Javert's background and his acceptance/refusal, becoming parents/grandparents, what to do now when my life got destroyed, how to continue my live when my daughter got married, how to share a house with the one who used to be my jailor, trying to connect Valjean from now and Madeleine from the past, questions of identity in Toulon, or just a simple identity porn in Montreuil-sur-Mer, and so on.
"Who Am I?" & "Who Are You?" throughout the ages."
Fairy tales: "Put our old men in your favourite fairytale" "Yes, Beauty and the Beast time!"
Resurrection or Death and rebirth: "These guys r always being abnormal about death & not feeling truly like one of the living. People could take it in a symbolic or in a magical direction. You see the vision."
Tree Pruner x Heart of Wood: Valjean is a tree pruner and gardener and Javert is literally said to have a heart of wood. "there’s probably a more poetic way to phrase this as an Official Theme Name but i’m obsessed with this particular parallel"
Role reversal: I would be fire.
Pre-Canon -> Books 1-5 -> Post-Canon (one a day): Self explanatory I think.
Les Misérables illustrations by Antoni Uniechowski, 1954 and 1958 - part 1
These are illustrations from the Polish abridged editions published by Iskry. For some reason, the near-identical 1954 and 1958 editions seem to contain the same illustrations redrawn differently, 1958 having the simplified versions. Enjoy!
The first poster for Fred Cavayé’s film adaptation of Les Misérables has officially been released! Set to release October 14th in French Theatres.
Starring Vincent Lindon, Tahar Rahim, Camille Cottin, Benjamin Lavernhe, Vassili Schneider, and Noémie Merlant.
(please ignore the awful quality for some of these - the day I went out to take them was so hot I’m genuinely convinced it somehow messed my camera up)
Okay I keep seeing all of those people (myslef included) making tiny javerts and valjeans, how about we all make it our goal to take them places and make them a tiny travel journal bc I think it might be cute
Hell, let's make it a thing for all tiny les mis characters
"Ladder" - a Toulon era Valvert song. Out on Tumblr and will be on all streaming platforms next Friday (pre-save here)!

Lyrics: (60 lines)
On the other side of where I came from,
On the right side of the bars.
Every chain is still a mirror,
If I dare to look too hard.
‘Cause the ladder from misfortune
Climbs more righteous every rung,
So every step is a sacred promise -
I won’t look down, I’ll just go on.
Everything that rises up from entropy
Takes refuge in the law,
So I memorized my code of honor
and wore it like a coat of arms.
And they told me I got lucky -
Just one slip, you’re too far gone.
‘Cause potential is absolute
Like black and white, or right and wrong.
They said beware, they said be grateful,
If you stray you’re lost forever,
Boy, just pray the past is all you’re hiding from.
But in my secret sparks of darkness,
There’s a flaw that keeps me lawless,
I can follow every rule except for one.
Every cloud that blurs your judgment
Pulls a star down from the sky,
So I shield from my periphery
Temptation and desire.
But if they push through the surface,
Past the point of no return,
You’re gonna brand my wooden heart
That cannot melt, but it can burn.
But I’ve been good and I’ve been careful,
Kept in line, straight as an arrow,
Should have known I couldn’t stay too green too long.
Cause in my secret sparks of darkness,
You’re the flaw that keeps me lawless
I can follow every rule except for one.
I was confidently merciless,
Steadfast in my obedience
A bloodhound with a compass
How I never strayed until…
You came like a magnet,
A landslide of a man
With strength to pull me from the ladder,
Make me yours to ruin.
You were the fire below the surface,
So unruly and unclean,
Now you’re the fate that breaks the floodgates,
Laughing wildly from my dreams.
A siren call, a force of nature,
Lone divergence in my tunnel vision.
Point me towards a dead end,
Off the tracks and off this ladder,
Where I'll fall or climb courageous,
Keep you buried,
Keep you nameless,
Like you’re not my Achilles heel or fatal flaw.
And when you go, I’ll say “good riddance”
To the shame that keeps me prisoner
And pray that when you go,
That you’ll stay gone…
Instruments: (mostly for LMSS mods, but everyone else feel free to bear witness to the chaos)
Uhhh hi LMSS mods. I am...so sorry about this lol. I have absolutely no idea how you're planning to score this and I fear this may test the limits of scoring complexity lmao. But I can assure you that all of the weirdness I'm about to describe was done out of nitpicky music production perfectionism and not an attempt at point-maxxing. If you have any questions or if there is any math I can do to make your job easier, PLEASE lmk because this is uhhhhhh...
Okay here goes:
Total time: 4 minutes, 34 seconds
So technically there are 17 tracks playing in the song. (1 drum track, 2 bass tracks, 4 guitar tracks, 2 vocal tracks, and 8 synthesizers).
All 4 guitar tracks are playing the same part, but they have different amounts of distortion and 2 of them are panned all the way to the right and the other 2 are panned all the way to the left.
The main vocal track is active throughout the whole song, but it's doubled in the choruses and bridge to add texture.
And then *sigh* there are the synthesizers. Technically there are 8 of them, but they're playing 3 different parts. Basically I had to layer multiple synthesizers playing the same part to get the sound that I wanted. So there's one group of 3 playing the buzzy synth part, another group of 3 that's meant to sound like a lead guitar, and then a group of 2 arpeggiators playing the high sparkly part.
The 2 bass tracks are playing 2 different things and the drums are just the drums.
So yeah. Uh. I'm so sorry. Please do whatever you think is fair and if there's any way I can make it easier, feel free to DM :)
So in post Seine stories sometimes I like to think of how many years Javert and Valjean end up having together. It is morbid but sweet in a way to think of how many years of peace Valjean gets to have at the end of it all. 19 years is the best answer in my opinion, not only because of its importance to valjean, he lost 19 years to the law and in post Seine valvert fics javert usually plays a role in knocking valjean out of his melancholy there by giving him back the time the state took away. But also because, since Valjean originally died at 64, 19 years makes him 83, the actual age Victor Hugo was when he died. Idk but it’s weirdly fitting to me.
The 1978 Version of javerts death is so iconic for all the wrong reasons. Any gravity or emotional impact just gets ruined by that random ass trumpet flourish, the fact that it's like the lowest point you could jump in the seine from, and of course, the flip
