Hi! This might be painfully hard but can you name your TOP 5 Les Mis fics? Well, modern AU if you can. I think I've read all AO3 twice but I am still finding pieces that I didn't so hopefully you'll rec sth new. In any case, thank you <3 P.S. That's a challenge for this *can't just can't* cliffhanger in your fic! :]
Oh this is going to be incredibly difficult because frankly there are so many great ones out there but I’ll try to narrow it down.
5: World Aint Ready: By idiopathicsmile
High school AU. Grantaire the disaffected stoner is pulled into a cause bigger than himself. Or: in which there are pretend boyfriends for great justice.
This one is a slow burn high school fake dating AU that is absolutely wonderful. There’s drama, pining, awkward high school things, a really great plot but most of all FAKE DATING.
4: Friday I’m In Love By The Librarina
Enjolras is spending spring break on Martha’s Vineyard with his parents, and he needs someone to disrupt their matchmaking plans.
Another fake dating AU, this one set at Enjolras’ parents place. It’s a great fiction with mutual pining, sharing a bed, dancing and understanding one another.
3: Forget me Not By Opium_du_Peuple (Or Just-French-Me-Up on tumblr)
Enjolras loses four years worth of memories after a nasty car accident. Though he still remembers who Combeferre and Courfeyrac are, he also finds himself with a herd of friends he doesn’t remember meeting. Friends who are exactly what his blank mind needs to recollect his missing memories.
The only work in progress I’ve got on this list but my goodness it is great. There’s drama, pining, attraction, TWISTS, turns, friendships MORE DRAMA (I’m always a slut for drama), and it is beautifully written. Really a must read for anybody in the ExR fandom
2 Transatlanticism By theglitterati
Enjolras is on a study abroad in NYC with two months left until he comes home; Grantaire’s the only one awake and online in Paris.
A very cute fic about Grantaire and Enjolras developing a relationship over long distance.
And MY number one Modern AU fic is…. *DRUM ROLL*
1: Eyes to Serve, Hands to Learn By myrmidryad
When Grantaire’s usual club closes for relocation, he’s forced to look elsewhere to find people who share his kinks. And who should he find in the first club he tries but the chief himself?
A lot of porn with secret feelings, basically. Mostly dominant Enjolras and submissive Grantaire.
This will always and forever be my number one Les mis fanfiction. Because it was the first chaptered fic I read with ExR. I’ve read it about 5 times. It’s amazing (And very nsfw). Grantaire centric, Lots of pining, bdsm, developing relationship. Just perfect.
I have most definitely missed some really brilliant fics on this list but these 5 are the ones I always come back to <3
