He hooks a leg through the handles of his bags, pulls the shade of the baby carrier down to shield Regina from the car's lights, and drapes himself over the carrier's handle so there's no risk of her going anywhere.

fan art from @samyazaz Les Mis fan fic In The End We Have Each Other which is amazing and you should totally go read it now.

Enjolras and Gina sleepy on the train just resonated with me and then bam, this came pouring out. I hope you like it :)

Okay, Les Mis fans.

I am dealing with the painfulness of hope, and grudgingly choosing to love myself. Accepting that the world can be awful, but it's worth it to believe in things getting better. Y'all have the BEST fic with those themes. Can you guys give me some recs?

Modern AUs ONLY. I'm not strong enough for the source material, and period fic ... tends to acknowledge canon too much.

I usually end up reading Enjolras/Grantaire, but only because that has the highest chance of Grantaire and Eponine's issues being both acknowledged and respected. I'm way to aroace to actually care about the romance, but I do enjoy the underlining friendship (and antagonism) in their relationship when its done well. I love friendship.

Building on the friendship bit - the other characters should show up. Ignoring all their relationships to focus on the romance is very uninteresting to Geckos (me).

Someone who knows how to write kids having Gavroche show up as a side character is amazing. Let's not focus on that kid's awful life, but having one of the characters making it a bit better means a lot.

Bahorel is pure joy. I love how you guys write him. So great!

Enjolras being obsessed with justice is necessary. Him being a balanced human being is far too OOC for me. Autism being implied ... no. I don't want him to be implied to be autistic. I want him to be written by an autistic person who feels no need to acknowledge WHY they relate to him. (This isn't necessary. It just improves things, in my opinion.)

World Ain't Ready, by @idiopathicsmile is my favourite example. But it's been a while, and I didn't understand bookmarks back then, and I don't remember what else I read.

Can y'all help me?

[starfieldcanvas]

whats your ao3? i saw your reply on the 'what would you consider a successful fic?' post and i'm curious abt ur fics : ) idek what fandom you write for but id like to read them

I'm merelydovely! I have currently published fics for Les Mis, The Untamed/MDZS, and BBC Merlin. I typically write stuff that's a lot porn, a bit farce, and a bit pining, with the occasional sprinkle of overambitious worldbuilding.

If you'd prefer to read something that's NOT smutty:

"a wolf in goat's clothing" (f/f, Secret Santa pining)

"Be Gay, Do Crime" (m/m, wacky misunderstanding/mystery)

"picking up the feathers (that will lead me to you)" (m/m, high school reunion fake dating)

All of those are modern AUs that shouldn't suffer too much from lack of canon knowledge.

If you're okay with sexy themes in stuff that doesn't actually have any sex, I suggest:

"full circle" (f/f, amateur witch attempts a summoning)

"in a twist" (m/m, pining guy unintentionally goes to the sex shop to buy lingerie while his crush is on shift)

They're both quite short, but I still enjoy them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you like smut with some D/s elements but would prefer at least a little plot and worldbuilding to go with it:

"sextillion" (m/m, sci fi post-war reunion on a pleasure planet)

"come away, o human child" (m/m, human-shaped dragons with not-very-human ideas about sex, political marriage. the most self-indulgent and kinky work on the list.)

"the body politic" (m/m, emperor's bodyguard falls for the emperor's concubine, shit goes down. has the darkest themes of all my work but emphasizes healing and hope)

"wouldn't trade you for anything" (m/m, arranged marriage, nervous virgins, obligatory sex ritual)

"six months, four days" (m/m, undercover wizard agent struggles to break up with his hot wizard-hunting boyfriend)

I thiiink these are distinct enough from their canon sources that you could still enjoy them without full context, though I'd love actual feedback on that.

If you like your smut with a side of complicated feelings, especially people angsting about their sexual and/or gender identity:

"Mustardseed" (m/m, trans guy and pining bi guy hang out at SF Pride together prior to having a gender-and-sexuality-affirming hookup)

"soft questions" (m/m, newbie top worries he's doing it wrong)

"the fairer sex" (f/f, f/f/f, pining lesbian is fine hooking up with friends for fun but would prefer if it were serious and romantic plzkthx)

"i just died in your arms tonight" (f/f, f/f/f, theoretically heterosexual girl has never had an orgasm and her helpful boss and pining coworker decide to help her fix that)

"dynamic" (m/m, my one brief foray into a/b/o - beta tries to help his omega boyfriend through heat while angsting about being the "wrong" dynamic)

Then we come to the stuff that's just D/s smut, with only a few hints at characterization and relationship context:

"the backroom deal" (m/m/m/m/m/m/m/m/m/m, or, that time I wrote a sex scene with one dom, one s ub, and eight other dudes pitching in)

"falling in love, and other things to do at a coffee shop" (f/f, discreet public sex)

"rough day" (m/nb, a relatively brief master/slave roleplay to help the dom unwind)

The one with ten dudes will be REALLY hard to follow if you're not in the Les Mis fandom, but the other two should be no problem.

And finally, last on this list but always first in my heart, my most ridiculous farce:

"Aperture Science" (m/m, m/pumpkin, in which a character fucks a pumpkin - for science! - and somehow manages to get a boyfriend out of the experience)

...

Everything else is artwork, is under a thousand words, or isn't finished.

Thanks for your interest! I hope you find something you enjoy.

a day in the life of little people by citizenjolras

Gavroche jumped to his feet and ran away, stopping only to turn around and stick his tongue out at the enraged barber whose doorstep he had just been sleeping on. What an excellent way to start the day.

Okay, back in May @isolatedphenomenon asked me if I had an les mis fic recs and I went "oh boy do I !" and then promptly fucked off and disappeared from tumblr for like 6 months...

Anyway on the off chance people are interested, here is my vastly too long list of  my favourite les mis fanfic (that I'm almost 100% sure I'll have accidentally missed some of my favourites off of...)

The vast majority of these are main pairing Enjolras/Grantaire, so I've put those first, divided into multi-chaptered and then one-shots. Below that will be other pairings!

Multi-chaptered

• Witch Boy Series : magic AU, starting with Grantaire solving Enjolras' curse - this is just Incredible world building which gets better as it goes on - my favourite is the Babet interlude

• World Ain't Ready : you know how fandoms tend to have a fic that is just associated with it ? in my experience, for les mis this is it - and well deserved ! High school, fake dating AU with some of the most engaging writing

• BE : Enjolras is dragged back into theatre production, helping Eponine put on a production of Hamlet - really love the characterisation in this, and this is really one of those modern AUs that actually feels like real life - really good writing

• After the End : the definitive apocalypse AU in my eyes - les amis are an underground resistance to the dystopian government - really wonderful characterisation of Grantaire and the amis

• You never have to wonder; you never have to ask. : I tend to find fic by scrolling through bookmarks of a pairing, which means I often see repeats; this is a fic that if I see I just re-read cause I know I'll enjoy it - the amis sparked a failed rebellion, and now 18 months later Grantaire ends up staying at Enjolras' after returning to Paris for Marius and Cosette's wedding

• Your Heart on Your Skin : Soulmate AU with flower tattoos marking important emotions and events - wonderful concept and world building 

• Impatient to Be Free : Daughters of Bilitis AU - if that doesn't make you excited I don't know what else to say to convince you (aside from saying the author is a simply wonderful writer)

• You Dance Dreams : Okay. Not to be over dramatic, but this fic did genuinely qualitatively change my life, in that it was the first thing that got me looking up contemporary ballet and now that's like one of my favourite things and big hobby So. Also its really great writing; music/creative arts school les amis with Grantaire choreohraphing the ballet for Combeferre's opera, with a heavy emphasis on Grantaire realising he really never actually got over Enjolras

• philia : this one is an absolute classic to me, but not given nearly enough recognition - one of the more realistic college AUs ever written, and the writing of Grantaire is so good because it hits the perfect balance of sympathy and annoyance about his behaviour (that's a genuine compliment) 

• Coffee Hooligans : fucking tragedy this never got properly finished, Enjolras leads the amis as social justice vigilantes and tries to hide the criminal bits of his life from R

• Fighting the Hurricane : Pacific Rim AU that's less an AU and more just placing the les mis characters in the Pacific Rim universe. Really good and riveting read, also super interesting depiction of Grantaire

• Weaving Olden Dances : Fairy AU - Grantaire "claims" Enjolras to prevent his execution - really good writing, love Grantaires characterisation 

• Paris Burning : canon era (sort of) where cities have a physical being - Grantaire is Paris and becomes entangled in Enjolras' revolution - oh the world building is truly *chefs kiss*

• Euphoria is You For Me : Enjolras and Grantaire keep meet cuting in a wonderfully written Brooklyn - feels like a love letter to Brooklyn at times, and I really like the characterisation of Grantaire 

• so please just fall in love with me this christmas : Enjolras works for the environmental company Grantaire volunteers at, and keeps getting secret gifts at Christmas - I sound a little like a broken record but the Grantaire characterisation is very good

• You Are the Moon : Wild West esque Space AU - Grantaire has to call on the amis to help rescue Valjean and Cosette, despite Grantaire leaving the amis 6 months before. On re-reading the Enjolras characterisation feels a little rushed, but overall fantastic story telling and the Grantaire arc is a Delight 

• Pandemos : Enjolras is aphrodite, and seeks peace from all his suitors in R/Hephestus' cave

• Pining for You : Hallmark christmas romance - Grantaire returns home to work on his father's tree farm, and Enjolras is the lawyer helping prevent the farm being sold - cute as shit imo

• Once We're Kings : Fantasy AU - a country hosts a ball to marry Prince Enjolras and the rival country sends Grantaire as a fuck you - one of the best ways of doing Enjolras as a prince in a fantasy and just really nicely written

• Never Bitter and All Delicious : Fairy Godmother AU - yes really, yes its genuinely a very good read

• On One Condition : Fantasy AU - Enjolras is a bored knight who finally goes to check out the local dragon, which turns out to be Grantaire - I really like how they capture Enjolras' stubborn nature and it's such a well written soft growth of love between them

• That's How Easy Love Can Be : Les Amis work at a primary school; and its secret santa time! very fun portrayal of Enjolras

• The Lark and Her Lieutenants : re write of canon where Cosette is the leader of the revolution - just *chefs kiss*

• If You Tickle Us, Do We Not Laugh : Grantaire is Enjolras' secret android - really good at writing a relationship that's incredibly loving but just keeps being antagonistic and coming off wrong 

One Shots

• True Colours : AU where you leave colours on the people important to you - Enjolras and Grantaire falling for each other is so soft and gently written its lovely, this is genuinely one of my favourites

• Keep It Kind, Keep It Good, Keep It Right : this one is so good to me, because it builds off my pet hatred of everyone assuming Enjolras doesn't care about (or at least actively show he cares about) his friends

• blooming : very soft post-dystopian utopia that has just a really wonderful sense of hope and light to me

• and the wall leaned away (or: The Pros and Cons of Tilling) : perfectly realised characterizations of the amis, Grantaire needs a date to her final year art exhibition - deals with anxiety over protest in a way that actually hits for me

• not just one of the crowd : R helps run a leftist bakery and bike repair shop - very cute characterisation, and I think more les mis fanfic should link to anarchist essays

• Lovesickness : Enjolras is an idiot and thinks he's sick rather than having a crush - the writing of Joly and Combeferre in this is some of my favourite depictions of these two

• If there's a rocket, tie me to it : absolutely heartbreaking sci-fi AU about the amis as doomed mecha pilots

• Where I Fall is Where I Land : Enjolras is a Roman commander as Rome's power is leaving England, and then meets the pict Grantaire (+ fun soulmark stuff !)

• You Started Foreign to Me : Enjolras moves to america and R is the overnight grocery clerk who helps her learn Spanish - cute fluffy lesbians with a wonderfully written driven Enjolras

• Love Is Touching Souls : very cute soulmate AU - and one I really love for really truly considering the implications of soul marks and creating historical lore around it

• Ten Years : R is a musician, and it non-linearly charts his relationship to Enj from high school to 10 years later

• put up with me then I'll make you see : Grantaire lives above Enjolras, and its christmas - I find it to have a very fun interpretation of pining Enjolras

• A Cat Called Trash Can : this was one of the first les mis fics I ever read (yes I know it says it was published in 2020, but I think it has to be a re-upload or something?) and it does still have a special place in my heart - Grantaire rescues a cat, but Enjolras is the only one with an apartment free to look after it 

• Still I'm Begging to Be Free : inception AU where les amis have to rescue a sleeping R from his own brain

•I'm in it for You : cw: illness, cancer - R has cancer and is being a martyr about telling his friends so Enjolras drives him back from chemo

• walls come tumbling down : sky high au - a very good high school AU with the perfect level of campy superhero powers

• This brave new world's not like yesterday : Enjolras needs a job, so ends up working in a bowling alley with Grantaire and bonding

Enjolras/Grantaire/Combeferre

• In Defiance of All Geometry : les amis are a student co-op house, Enjolras and Combeferre are pining friends and Grantaire is the newbie

• Still the Same : this is very good writing and very compelling - if you can get over the (imo) plot hole of Enjolras working for the FBI. R was an art thief Enj put away and is briefly helping the FBI out, and Combeferre is Enjolras' husband

• To Kingdom Come : cw: war and PTSD from that, Enjolras and Combeferre are part of a group of refugees that have crossed into a more fantasy land, and Grantaire is a lone traveller from that land that attempts to help - that was a shit summary of this very emotional, wonderfully written fic about war and love in all forms

• Gonna need (a spark to ignite) : I always love a twist on a classic trope, and this is a very fun take on the soulmate AU - Enjolras loses feeling in his soul mark as a child, falls in love with Grantaire and then his soulmate, Combeferre, turns up

Eponine/Cosette

• Pretty Girls Don't Know the Things That I Know : simply stunning writing - perfect example of soft writing about a harsh world

• she knows her way around : Eponine and Cosette bond, ostensibly so Eponine can find out about her for Marius, and their interactions are so playful and realistic, its wonderful

• always find me floating on oceans : Cosette stows away on Eponine's pirate ship - I do always have a soft spot for eposette fics (not just cause I ship it) because they truly characterise Cosette in a really considered and interesting way

• There's No Making Love : I'm putting this under eposette even though there is some significant enjolras/grantaire content, because the Cosette characterisation is so fun and cute

• round and round again : this fic really beautifully translates Cosette's bad childhood and then isolated teenage years, and the impact that would have on her as an adult into a modern AU

• Underwater Thunderheards : this is based off the book The Scorpio Races, and is just a really nice short fic  about longing

• How To Change The World Without Taking Power : Marius has a crush on Cosette and she's tried being polite and subtle in turning him down, so just ends up fake dating Eponine instead

• blood red fruit and poison's kiss : Snow White AU - Cosette as Snow White

• The Winters Cannot Fade Her : Snow White Au 2.0 - Eponine as Snow White - this was written as a pair to the one above which is just so cute to me

• marriage à la mode : Cosette and Eponine run a bridal shop together and it's very cute !

• Temporary Hold : I personally find this a really fun and very unique take on Cosette - with exams coming up she decides she needs to get laid on the reg and so hits up Eponine to act as if they're already long term girlfriends

Combeferre/Courfeyrac

• better than you had it : fake dating but kick it up an emotional notch - Courf and Ferre pretend to still be together after breaking up for a family event

• take flight, come near : nice and cute low fantasy, where Combeferre runs a dragon sanctuary and Courf finds an injured dragon

Rare Pairs

• The Future's Owned by You and Me : cute Enjolras/Feuilly with actual radical politics and real life organising difficulties and wins

• First Dates and Other Dangers : Combeferre and Grantaire agree to go on a blind date and it's awkward until it isn't - just cute !

• after midnight : Combeferre has insomnia and meets Grantaire in various all night fast food chains

• as you are : Bahorel and Jehan getting ready together

• Almost Romantic : Jehan works at a museum, and takes Combeferre on a little tour

• Understudy : Jehan/Combeferre, with Combeferre's insecurities regarding being seen as second best to Enjolras

• Here There Be Dragons : Courf/Enj/Ferre - Courf and Enj are superheroes and Ferre is the doctor that patches them up

• To Let it Occur (Laisser Faire la Nature) : Feuilly has a stupidly long stopover in Paris and meets Enjolras

• rule of three : Courf/Enj/Ferre as spies and loving boyfriends

• Good Rhetoric : snapshots of cute cuddly courf/enj/ferre

• subluxate, dislocate, replace : found family and chronic illness with Joly/Bossuet/Musichetta

• Strike stone, strike home (like lightning) : so this fic took one minor piece of lore about Tolkien's dwarves and made a beautiful j/b/m fic from it

• Almost Inevitable : Bahorel/Feuilly friends-with-benefits

• god only knows (what I'd be without you) : Bahorel/Feuilly with a closeted Feuilly and a beautiful Feuilly and Eponine friendship

[songbird-musing]

hollllaa! I just finished writing my second fic so I thought I would share it! in this crazy year, having a fluff-filled enjolras/grantaire ballet au was the only thing keeping me going! 

It’s a 75k, friends to lovers slow burn with LOTS of pining, social justice and les amis goodness!

If you would like to read it - it’s on AO3 here!

SUMMARY:  Grantaire has been making ballet shoes in a Parisian factory for the last three years. He does not like ballet, and he especially does not like ballet dancers.

Then, in strolls Enjolras, the lead dancer of the National Paris Ballet company.

Somehow Grantaire gets himself tangled up in the first ever social justice ballet troupe, and is surrounded by dancers at all times. He should hate it, but he can’t stop being distracted by a certain dancer’s charisma and unfairly pretty eyes.

hope you enjoy! please let me know if you do! <33
