With a chapter posted every day of JBM Week, this fic is now complete! It is 8k of canon era silliness and kissing, and I hope it can give others even half as much joy to read as it gave me to write.

LES MIS LETTERS IN ADAPTATION - The Man with the Bell, LM 2.5.9 (Les Miserables 1967)

“Who are you? and what house is this?” demanded Jean Valjean.

“Ah! pardieu, this is too much!” exclaimed the old man. “I am the person for whom you got the place here, and this house is the one where you had me placed. What! You don’t recognize me?”

“No,” said Jean Valjean; “and how happens it that you know me?”

“You saved my life,” said the man.

He turned. A ray of moonlight outlined his profile, and Jean Valjean recognized old Fauchelevent.

“Ah!” said Jean Valjean, “so it is you? Yes, I recollect you.”

…

“What house is this?”

“Come, you know well enough.”

“But I do not.”

“Not when you got me the place here as gardener?”

“Answer me as though I knew nothing.”

“Well, then, this is the Petit-Picpus convent.”

Memories recurred to Jean Valjean. Chance, that is to say, Providence, had cast him into precisely that convent in the Quartier Saint-Antoine where old Fauchelevent, crippled by the fall from his cart, had been admitted on his recommendation two years previously. He repeated, as though talking to himself:—

“The Petit-Picpus convent.”

I love how the first thing Fauchelevent says to Valjean in the convent is a stock pickup line:

"Did you fall from heaven? There is no trouble about that: if ever you do fall, it will be from there."

It's just like

Valjean: *terrified, panicking, not sure where he is, and having an emotional breakdown over Cosette nearly dying* Fauchelevent: Did you fall from heaven? bc baby.....ur an angel <3

okay americans i gotta ask because as an European i grew up with lots of american shows and cartoons and in a lot of them there was an episode where they give the protags a doll or an egg or a bag of flour or whatever and told them pretend to be its parents or something

#Yeah I got the bag of flour #didn't have to pair up though #lmao we were a class of single parents (of our bags of flour) #my mom taught me how to wrap mine in a cloth 'diaper' so it was a lot tougher

Of course Bossuet gets one of those stupid ParAs sweatshirts. Because I can.

Hugo keeps telling us that Valjean has told people something , or said something Often, or was Often Heard to Say X . Given that Valjean is a pretty isolated person who barely speaks about the past even to Cosette, who does he keep talking to??
