Psst hey #lesmisletters friends... Are you Sad about Fantine?

Don’t you wish she could be happy? Don’t you wish someone would punch Tholomyès in the face? Don’t you want to turn the narrative around before it gets (so so much) worse?

I do! So allow me to introduce you to:

~✨💖Fantine/Bahorel💖✨~

She needs a friend who’ll respect her, he’s ever ready to punch assholes in the face (for Justice) and Hugolian math sort of allows them to be in Paris at the same time. What more do you need? (For baby Cosette to get a happy healthy childhood growing up with her mother, that’s what we need).

Have some delightful fix-it-fics:

Liberty and Libertines by @amarguerite

Canon era | T | 3 | Bahorel/Fantine | 3k (unfinished but delightful)

Bahorel meets Fantine in 1816 and is conscious of two things: how much better it would be if Fantine was his mistress, and how much Tholomyès needs to be punched. Things change dramatically as a result. 

 Une Liaison Dangereuse by   @badassindistress (me)

1700s AU | G | Bahorel/Fantine | 13k (complete)

Felix Tholomyès, like any self-satisfied 18th century gentleman, thinks it only natural he hides his mistress away at his hunting lodge. Bahorel, who stumbles upon Fantine and her adorable daughter on his way home to see his family, disagrees entirely. He thinks Fantine should be free to make friends and enjoy herself, preferably far away from Tholomyès. Fantine just wants a safe place for her daughter to grow up and make friends. Cosette just wants to find worms with the chickens…

A mid-1700s adventure of wigs, silk dresses, respectful friendships and daring flights to freedom.

Under a Moonlit Sky by @badassindistress (me again)

Canon era | G | Bahorel/Fantine | 19k (complete)

The year is 1817. After Félix Tholomyès' little suprise, a despairing Fantine thinks she might go to her hometown of M-sur-M to find work. Instead, she decides to find Tholomyès and make him acknowledge Cosette. Enter a young man who would love to have an excuse to travel South (as far away from the law faculty as possible) and is uniquely suited to hunting down terrible men...

And lastly, some delightful art of the True OTP by @everyonewasabird

And another wonderful one on the same excellent theme by @pilferingapples (who opened my eyes to this excellent ship)

Enjoy!

EDIT: I found the other fic I was looking for:

Angels and Devils by Bobbiewickham

Canon era | G | Bahorel &Fantine |2k

Fantine goes out to a dance with Tholomyès, and meets an angry young man.
