ExR Broadway AU ideas

I was thinking back on a brainrot I had with @pumpkinspice-prouvaire a while ago and I thought I might as well polish it a little and publish it. This comes from a comment while watching Aaron Tveit's Miscast "Mein Heirr" performance.

It all starts when a conservative theatre journalist makes an article about the decline of Broadway, and he uses Enjolras (who mostly plays intense revolutionaries and other serious dramatic parts) as an example of a "good" gay performer who doesn't go around "prancing in heels and glitter".

This prompts Enjolras to go to his good friend and Broadway director Courfeyrac and ask him for his gayest and most slutty role. Courf, who has been dying to put Enjolras in eye-candy outfits for years, immediately casts him as Sally Bowles on a Miscast-type performance.

The problem is that... there is a reason Enjolras usually plays serious revolutionaries. He doesn't have a single loose bone in his body. He can get through the moves (he's a professional, he's a trained dancer), but he looks serious and stiff no matter what he does.

In a desperate attempt, Courf orders him to put on his costume and walk around in character until he feels comfortable in it.

Meanwhile, in a café near the theatre, Grantaire is an underpayed barista and failing art school student. He has been ranting to his friends about the broody angel in disguise who comes every day for his coffee for months.

... And then one day, black turtleneck angel comes in in a sheer top and lace-up pants and high heels???? And sprawls all over his counter and flirts with him?????

No, Enjolras is not suddenly smooth. It takes him a while to get there, but Grantaire doesn't notice. He's too busy trying to not scald his fingers with the coffee machine when Enjolras puts a heeled foot on a chair to stretch as he waits for his order.

Joly and Bossuet get a lot of panicked texts for a while. Grantaire has multiple theories getting progressively more unhinged, from evil twins to alien abduction. After a while they can't get over the curiosity and go to the café to try and see the mysterious man.

Joly (is working on an acting degree from R's school): ...That's Louis Enjolras, isn't he. Bossuet (plays the bassoon with goal to work on Broadway): That is absolutely Louis Enjolras. I think he's playing in Miscast next month. He's probably preparing for a role. Should we tell R? Joly: Are you kidding?? This is hilarious, I want to see how long it takes for him to figure it out.

Grantaire emphatically does not figure it out. This man has worked next to a bunch of Broadway venues for years and not learned anything about it, and he's not going to start now (yes, Joly, Broadway is a perfectly valid art form, he's just not interested in it, okay??).

At the end, Joly and Bossuet get tickets for Miscast and drag Grantaire, kicking and screaming, to go watch it with them. He's pouting in his seat, when suddenly they bring a chair to the stage, music starts and a familiar face (and outfit) comes on stage and starts singing.

The "YOU FUCKERS" almost gets them thrown out of the theatre.

I hope you enjoyed this!

In my opinion, Grantaire had some sort of severe trauma. I don't know what it is, but something has 💯 happened to make him the way he is. He's young, too young to have lost all belief or hope. I think he drinks to try and numb or get rid of pain. He's depressed , he's traumatised, he's lost all hope in humanity and the world.

And then he meets Enjolras. And Enjolras turns his world upside down. He doesn't want to believe, because believing means hoping and hoping and hope is dangerous. But the way Enjolras talks, like he can command the heavens and tame the waves just by the sound of his voice, R can't help but believe in him. And it contradicts everything he's meant to stand for, because believing in Enjolras means believing in the revolution and progress, but he can't help it.

Enjolras makes him believe that maybe, just maybe, there is a little hope for the world after all. Enjolras makes him someone again, he takes someone so broken and puts him together again.

That is love. That is a special form of love. To take someone with no hope left, someone who is so broken that the only certainly in their life is a full glass, and complete them. Make them realise that they still have an identity. Without even meaning to. Just by your presence.

They love you. And that is counter intuitive in itself, because love is a form of hope. Love is a form of belief. And they don't realise you love them too. I don't even think you realise, you who is meant to be but a statue of cold, beautiful marble. I don't think you realise you love them too until your last moments, when they utter the words "do you permit it?" And you reach and grasp their hand. You smile, and in those last, tragic moments, you are both happy. Simply in each other's presence, knowing you love each other.

You made Grantaire someone again. And he melted your demeanour of marble.

i hate it when they're so obviously in love with another character but they are so fucking blind to it. they will literally describe the guy as the sun, beautiful, life itself, and then three sentences later call them 'bro'. other character is like 'they will never love me'. my dude shut the fuck up there is a fine line between obliviousness and self deprecation and you walk that fucking line like a tightrope walker. the closet is glass but you're fucking facing the wall. dumb fuck. fucking break the glass. 'what are we' IDIOTS YOU'RE BOTH IDIOTS

tumblr posts about les amis is either "insanely detailed three paragraph essay about homoerotic symbolism in and amongst victor hugos ridiculously unnecessary rambling about how beautiful enjolras is" or "combeferre sits with his legs crossed like a lady send post"

you see a dumb ass movie about people singing and being miserable or whatever you see it ONCE when you’re a teenager and then for the next 11 years you lose all ability to be normal about the two gays dying hand in hand or whatever the fuck
