#enjonine fic

[usergrantaire]

oh my, love is a lie (shit my friends say to get me by)

Éponine still doesn’t understand how something like love can hurt, why anyone in their right mind would voluntarily give someone the power to hurt them in that way. And as the years pass, after her little brothers are born and her mother stops calling her chérie and her father abruptly sells their ratty little bistro before transplanting them to the slums of the city, as her father resorts to increasingly unsavoury ways of making ends meet and gets into the habit of taking out his frustrations on her while her mother sinks deeper into her cups and numbs herself to the world, her sober moments few and far between and usually spent fighting with her eldest daughter rather than parenting her children, Éponine promises herself that she would never make her mother’s mistake. She’s never particularly considered her mother to be a purveyor of valuable life lessons, but if there’s one thing she’s taught her, it’s that to love is to hurt. And she’s smarter than that.

the internal debate of writing an 'enjolras and eponine having their first kiss in front of grantaire' scene because I think it would be hilarious vs. worrying that people are going to think I ship enjonine if i include it

#this fic is going to be so long #and it's bc i keep wanting to add shit like this #to be clear i don't ship enjonine #it's a platonic fake dating fic #uhhh idk reply or something if you think it's a dumb idea

Hello! Please read this fic "The Kids are Not Alright". It's been updated!

[selffagellation]

i never watched the 2020 concert because chf as fantine is an annoying concept so pray tell what the fuck is the foot fetish thing 😭 /gen

Okay listen, I know that les mis changes the lyrics alllllll the time. Practically every cast recording is just a little different, so this is nothing REALLY new at least in theory. And hell, maybe it's not new at all, idk when every line is changed or flipped around or whatever it may be. But in the 2020 one, Madame Thenardier says this

While talking about like how obsessed Eponine is with the students and how she would do anything for them. And I simply. Had to write the fic yk. I don't even have a foot fetish but the material was right there and I couldn't find anything for it on AO3, so I felt it was my duty to fill that hole (haha). Honestly, it's still gonna need some work before its anywhere near ready to post and I may have to redo it entirely, but yeah that's the Les Mis Foot Fetish Thing. Life is crazy, yall

#and i agree sheeeeee wasnt really the best fantine for me #she was FINE but her voice is pretty low for the part #answered #les mis #love that everyone who follows me for every reasonable imaginable will now have to see this #(but yes my fic would ve enjonine what kind of person do you take me for fjfjdjjd)

[shadows-of-1832]

"When she finally drops the rose into the grave, she struggles to gather the strength to walk away; it would be acknowledging this part of her life was over, this respite from the darkness she lived in for so long. The escape was too brief, and now she was doomed to return to the horrors he was adamant on fighting against."

I don’t ship most of these myself , but your rant/ramble posts on Les Mis ships are funny so I genuinely wanted your opinion on these 👁

1. Enjoltaire

2. Valvert

3. Enjonine

4. Marisette (or whatever Marius x Cosette was called)

5. Javonine (Javert and…Eponine 😭)

6. Marionine (A name a just guessed for Marius x Eponine because I wasn’t bothered to look it up)

7. and uhhh.. Granjonine (I think that was the name)

well hello darling! i live to entertain lol lets get into it i might have to put this under a cut because i think its obvious i have a rambling issue

Enjoltaire : a classic for good reason. they seemed really base level to me at first because i watched the movie first, but once i read the brick and really saw their dynamic i fell for them HARD. for me the beauty of this pairing is really rooted in the substance of their individual characters as opposed to like a romantic relationship. idk its so difficult for me to verbalize why i love them so much i think i just love the idea of finding common ground despite difficulties. enjolras and grantaire mirror each other in such a beautiful way that i feel the musical/movie couldn't really capture without demoting it to a puppy love grantaire/mean enjolras dynamic idk i have such an issue with some portrayals of them because i feel like they create a victim/abuser situation where there wasn't one but that's like a whole post within itself anyway i feel like im getting incoherent i love exr with every fiber of my fucking being just read the brick if you don't get it ok the movie and musical just dont do it justice and for the love of god avoid the fics written in 2012/2013 after the movie hype its all wRONGGGG (i love you george blagden but you created a twink grantaire movement) (they pull each others pigtails okay its a mutual obsession) (enjolras why don't you just ignore him baby? glutton for punishment my dear we all know if you hated him you wouldn't let him hang around) (anyway) i should make a seperate post about my exr feelings bc i could talk ab them for hours

2. Valvert: okay this is where i feel like i can be unpopular with the fandom. i fucking hate this ship. like physically, spiritually, all that. its one of those that i kinda lose respect for the person bc its literally a cop/prisoner thing. its not enemies to lovers. its not a hate love thing. javert's a fucking cop. valjean is his victim. the whole idea of people romanticizing this makes me feel so insanely icky and i think the point of the story has just gone RIGHT over some folks' heads please take a step back and think about it. neolib behavior sorry not sorry

3. Enjonine: enjolras is gay. just like, straight up in the brick enjolras is a gay man. this ship is spawned from straight girls who saw aaron tveit and use eponine as their not like other girls posterchild. just a whole bunch of hetero nonsense. same behavior as the joseph quinn enj x reader bs. honey thats a homosexual man and can we please stop reducing eponine to needing a boyfriend she needs a stable home and a goddamn therapist fucking hell

4. Marisette: okay. i LOVE THEM. i'm a cosette stan myself, and i'm a huge fan of a gooey love at first sight situation. they contrast my love for exr in the sense that they're a very easy love. their parts in the book literally make me SWOOOOOON i can put aside my beef with marius as a combeferre kin to appreciate how sweet they are

5. Javonine??: im sorry wh aht. did the snape x hermione shippers leak into the lm fandom or am i being fucking punked im not discussing this its obvious why this is wrong please tell me its obvious y'all are NASTY

6. Marionine: eh. eh. i mean, like i said with enjonine eponine's problems are not gonna be solved with a dude. i'm really not opposed to them, persay, its just that eponine's love for marius is so incredibly dependent and rooted more in her personal trauma than actual love, so i feel a little weird with them sometimes. sometimes it just gives anti cosette vibes (cough cough bc of the bullshit love triangle angle that the musical markets cough cough) so i tread very carefully with them

7. Granjonine: again what in the damn hell. i'm not dignifying this shit they could be besties but for the love of god george blagden did a number on the straight girls. STOP PROJECTING ONTO EPONINE IM GONNA LOSE MY FUCKING MIND LEAVE HER ALONE

thanks for the ask lovely, i do love rambling even though these ships are baffling lmaoooo

#les miserables #les mis

[wheresurboytonighthelookslikeenj]

for a long time i've been fascinated with enjonine conceptually and symbolically, even though i didn't ship them, because in a story of symbols, they work.

i have a distant memory of a canon era fic i read where grantaire and éponine get married not as lovers but as companions as they are both lonely and heartbroken. it was a good fic, but the reason it still haunts me today is from the scene when they first meet, and grantaire looks at éponine and thinks of enjolras. specifically, he thinks of how the symbol of "enjolras's" revolution is not the angry man; it's a woman like éponine.

and that's exactly it! the joke has always been that enjolras has only devotion to the people, that enjolras's girlfriend is patria. and the amis have always represented the people, but ultimately. ultimately, it's someone like éponine who enjolras is truly fighting for. the impoverished woman who never had a chance. éponine is patria.

and maybe realistically the relationship doesn't make sense. neither does enjoltaire. but grantaire is the blind man who loves the light, and enjolras is the light. enjolras is the revolutionary who loves the people he fights for, and éponine is a symbol of those people.

Shipper tag game

I was tagged by @dual-domination :D

What ship were you completely obsessed with when you were a teenager, but now you don't care anymore? Completely obsessed is a bit strong, but I was really into Grindelwald/Dumbledore. It's probably easy to guess what turned me off the whole series in general.

Which ship would you consider your first one? I think it was Éowyn and Faramír from LotR.

Your first fanfic belonged to which couple? That's actually surprisingly easy to check because I didn't start to write shippy fic until my AO3 days - it's Enjolras and Grantaire from Les Mis.

Do you remember the first couple you saw a fanart over? I have no distinct memory of it, but it had to be something Harry Potter related, because my fandom life started on some forum dedicated to that.

Did you ever get into ship discourse? Not personally, but I did sit on the sideline with a bucket of popcorn. That, or going on and on about how and why I dislike certain ships, but I can't recall actually fighting anyone over them. (Most noteworthy are the Great Enjonine war of 2013 and the whole Reylo thing.)

Did you used to have any no-otp or have it currently? Reylo was part of the reason why I backed away from SW, it was bloody everywhere. Weirdly enough, Enjolras/Grantaire. Yes I ship it. No, not like that. The level of weird mischaracterisation these two suffered in fandom was off the charts, like, you had to seriously dig to even get some canon-era fic, everything else was modern AU with OCs that incidentally shared the name of the characters you wanted to read about.

Who were the couple in the last fanfic you read? Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling. ...Or possibly Wu Xie and Shen Wei, I can't remember which one I read last.

Currently, do you have any OTPs? The one I'm currently most obsessed over is PingXie.

Is there any couple that, to this day, you are extremely mad about not getting together? Honestly? Rey and Finn from Star Wars. They started out on such a great note! Like you coud actually feel that these two LIKED each other! ...Don't get me started on this one, I'll descend into a frothing diatribe against the Sequel Trilogy in 0,5 seconds flat. Disgraceful.

Is there any ship you used to dislike but now you think they are kind of interesting? I can't think of any.

Do you have any ship that, in the past, was considered normal but now you would be cancelled over? ...Maybe if I still enthusiastically shipped Grindeldore? My ships are usually either pretty vanilla or intentionally dark.

What was your favorite crack ship? This is a difficult question, because I usually take my weird crossovers more seriously than crack, but Enjolras and Captain America probably qualify?

Who is the couple you read more fanfics off? Huhh... that probably comes down to a draw between Enjolras and Grantaire from Les Misérables and Xie Lian and Hua Cheng from Heaven Official's Blessing.

What most of your ships usually have in common? There's often a 'two against the world' element. This applies across all sorts of genres from Maurice/Alec (Maurice) all the way to HuaLian.

What you absolutely hate in a ship? Negging and emotional abuse sold as '''banter'''. Plain old abuse sold as #relationshipgoals. Like if you're writing a dark ship that's all fine and well but don't ask me to pretend it's cute.

The gorgeous @lokinightfury tagged me for a thing, because she's amazing, so here I am doing the thing!

Rules: Give us the links to your wonderful words with the most hits, most kudos, most comments, most bookmarks, most words, and least words.

Most Hits: Evidently, my magnum opus, The Only One (Enjonine, Les Mis) WHICH I AM STILL WORKING ON, I SWEAR! I actually worked on it quite recently, so if anyone is still interested, I promise I will finish it!

Most Kudos: Surprisingly, Max's Annual Uncanny Hootenanny (Hellcheer, Stranger Things) which is a more recent thing I made. Very proud of it, glad people enjoyed it.

Most Comments: We have a tie between Max's Annual Uncanny Hootenanny and Munson's Not Your Mummy's Creepy Crawly Costume Party (both Hellcheer, Stranger Things).

Most Bookmarks: This is actually a shocker, but it's Sway My Way (Love is like a good pair of underwear) (NeuYako, Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro). This was just a random smutfic I wrote for this manga I was into waaaay back in the day.

Most Words: Unsurprisingly, it's The Only One again, sitting at about 64k. The next chapter is already at over 12k, and there's still quite a bit left to write.

Least Words: Not counting a stupid poem I wrote for Enjonine, which I can't really consider fic, the winner is Follow your inner moonlight (Don't hide the madness) (Rei/Jadeite, Sailor Moon), which is part of my Senshi/Shittenou series I wrote a long time ago.

I don't really know who to tag, so feel free to give this a go!

And thanks again for tagging me, Jenny! Love you!

Omg. Hello the author of Se Battre here 👋 I'm so sorry I never finished this and it's been like 9 years or something 😭 but I'm so glad you enjoyed it and I'll have to reread it now as I have no idea what I wrote as its been so long

OMG YOU!

I WASN'T EVEN EXPECTING YOU TO NOTICE MY REBLOG, MUCH LESS WHAT I WROTE IN MY TAGS 😄

Yeah, I already knew it was an old fic, but I only got interested in Les Miserables (and Enjonine) very much recently, like a few months ago (yeah, I know! How could I take it so long to care about Les Mis? 😱). Most of the content I read about this ship is old so I try to find all the content I can.

Luckily, I've been a big fan of The Hunger Games for years and that's one of the other things that called my attention to your fic. After I reread the whole book trilogy, I became all obssessed with this universe again AND fell in love even more with your story (also if you read my tags on your post, you probably already know that you were one of my bigger inspirations to try to write my own thing based on the same concept, which is still a WIP and I pretty doubt if I'll ever finish or publish, but still... 😅).

Well, I'll always be upset for not being able to read the last chapter of Se Battre, but I'll always be thankful for finding out about its existence 🥰.

P.S.: I'm sorry for any grammar mistake. I'm Brazilian, so English is not my first language.

[granhairdo]

one time when i was like twelve my mom was wanting to know about my fanfiction i was writing (out of genuine happiness to help me pursue my interests)

so i sent her a random enjonine fic i wrote on wattpad (this was like 2014) but turns out i forgot it had a sex scene in it and the next morning she wouldn’t stop laughing at me and i hid in my room and cried for an hour straight

good times, good times

#the only reason i thought of this #was because she called me this morning asking me if i remember it #she’s always been supportive of my writing and in so grateful for that #she still reads some of my fanworks #and non-fandom short stories and poetry #i love her so much

[usergrantaire]

📓

okay so i don't really have much of a plot for this au yet, but i do have a general idea of the premise of it. gonna put it under the cut because this has the potential to get long due to my propensity to ramble lol

so a while back i was thinking about how fucking enraging it was that in brick canon thénardier basically got off scot free and sailed to america with azelma to become a wealthy slave trader. like, i know that was the entire point and it was absolutely supposed to upset the reader, but yeah.

so i was thinking, since he clearly has no sense of ethics or morals whatsoever, he could just as easily be a gilded age robber baron, right? im drawing much of my inspiration from the vanderbilts, though there are elements of other notable gilded age figures here. (i am doing legit research for this fic, y'all. like, i downloaded a bunch of nonfiction books on the gilded age just for this fic. there will be honest attempts at historical accuracy because i do so love the aesthetics of this particular time period and the gilded age was such a batshit fucking time that making it historically accurate would really just enhance the story.)

the thénardiers hail from new orleans, of french descent from thénardier's side and mixed moroccan heritage from mme. t's side. when éponine and azelma are born in 1873 and 1874 respectively, they're still barely scraping by, never with enough to eat, although thénardier is slowly working his way up. around the time éponine's ten years old, things start looking up and thénardier begins to amass an obscene fortune in railroads and they practically go from rags to riches overnight. and so they move to new york in 1886, where they build a fucking palatial château style mansion on fifth avenue.

so gavroche and the two youngest thénardier boys (i have named them laurent and alphonse here) don't really remember a time before they had a consistent three full meals a day, but azelma and especially éponine do. despite her parents' disapproval, she makes a point to treat the staff as her equals since not too long ago they were practically in the same financial situation. so all the kids have varying degrees of guilt regarding the means through which their father accumulated their wealth, but éponine especially so.

her mother does everything she can to mould éponine into a perfect society lady. (her methods include forcing her to wear a steel rod with her corset for good posture, whipping her with a riding crop for minor misdemeanours, choosing all of her clothes for her, and deciding whom she is and isn't allowed to interact with, to name a few.) she's determined to break into new york high society and show up all of those old money snobs, and éponine is key to her plans. unfortunately for mme. t, éponine resists.

meanwhile, across the pond, the european aristocracy isn't looking so hot. their estates are failing to rake in money and they're becoming destitute, but of course they refuse to do the logical thing and get some real damn jobs. and so they turn to marrying heiresses for their dowries. after being turned down by old money circles, new money american heiresses invaded europe, because a title would finally force the old society to acknowledge them.

by this point, of course, france was in its third republic, so the aristocracy didn't really hold any real power anymore. a lot of them became patrons of the arts (like raoul de chagny in poto or the duc de monroth in moulin rouge, lol). the belle époque was a relatively peaceful and romantic time. (at least that's how people looked back at it after wwi. nostalgia tinted glasses and all that, yk.)

gabriel maximilien henri étienne sébastien d'enjolras was born in 1864 and only six years old upon the fall of the second empire in the franco prussian war, so for the majority of his life, all he's known is the republic. being the only son and heir of the duc and duchesse de valère, he uses the courtesy title of marquis d'enjolras, but he goes by just enjolras because he couldn't really care less about titles and also to annoy his father. while enjolras wholeheartedly supports the republic and begins to take an interest in socialism upon moving to paris in in 1882 for university and befriending les amis (still on the fence about whether or not they'll actually go by "les amis de l'abc" in this au, so i will just refer to them here as the boys), his father pines away for the "glory days" of the second empire.

with a château in provence and a paris townhouse as well as a villa on the riviera, it takes quite a lot of money to maintain their estates, which is becoming a problem considering the dukedom's money is dwindling. enjolras would get a proper job if his father hadn't forbidden him to do so. upon seeing the influx of american heiresses in europe, the duke concocts a plan to marry enjolras off to one of them.

in 1889, when éponine is 16, the thénardiers sail to europe on their yacht and she makes her society debut in paris, hosted by none other than the duc and duchesse de valère themselves. enjolras is still in the dark about his father's plans when the duke and mme. t discuss a match between him and éponine. before sailing home to new york, mme. t orders éponine a wedding dress from the house of worth despite her and enjolras having only met exactly once.

when the duke informs enjolras of his plans, he initially resists but eventually gives in, and just a year later in 1890, he and his parents arrive in new york to work out the marriage settlement and such. éponine, being only 17, revolts in such a way that it makes enjolras' initial opposition look positively agreeable. her mother is determined to see her daughter a duchess but honestly for the most part she just wants to foist her on someone else so she finally wouldn't have to deal with her anymore, with how difficult she behaves. it takes her threatening suicide for éponine to acquiesce.

the wedding garners a lot of attention because in the olden days high society was celebrity culture, before the age of film stars and the like. people gather outside the church for the chance to catch a glimpse of the proceedings. that morning, éponine has an angry crying fit about practically being sold off and ends up being late to the wedding. when her father gives her away at the altar, she stomps on his foot under her dress.

that night, neither of them are very eager to go through with the consummation, so they decide to fake it with a few drops of wine on the sheets. nobody is none the wiser and a week later they sail to france. enjolras feels a bit guilty about taking her away from the only home she's known. once in paris, he allows her to do as she pleases, saying she can have her own affairs provided she remains discreet. she doesn't do exactly that, but she does become a patroness of the arts and befriends opera singers and ballet girls and eventually she also becomes a suffragette and socialist.

and we get to the part where i only have the vaguest idea of what will happen 🥴 all i know is that they will gradually fall in love, obviously. though i don't have the slightest idea yet how i'll go about that. i've never written arranged marriage to friends to lovers, nor have i read any fic in that vein. but they WILL fall in love!! and they will have seven children in all. happily ever after!

im choosing to set much of this story during the 1890s because i just adore the giant poofy sleeves that were in fashion then, and i think it could serve as a nice homage to the canon era fashions of the 1830s lol.

put “📓” or some other version of a book emoji into my inbox and i’ll explain the plot of a fanfiction that i haven’t written but daydream about

"Haunted" and 1?

Hey, stranger! Happy to see an enjonine ask.

1. What inspired you to write the fic this way?

What inspired me during this time was not only the fandom obsession with Les Miserables and enjonine of course, but also during this time Game of Thrones was still relevant. The song Jenny of Oldstones just came out and I fell in love with it. Music is highly inspirational for me and helps keep me grounded as I write.

I wrote with this specific plot in mind as I wanted to capture the song and tie it to an AU that fit with the setting of Les Miserables. Also, a couple years prior I read Turning of the Screw (great book). During that time I recently watched Haunting on Hill House. Both were greatly inspirational as well with matching themes to the song. So I utilized scenes that I liked from both stories and combined that with the song to make Haunted.

Thanks for the ask!
