with the last and final season of Mayans MC coming up around the corner i have decided to bring back my series “Out of the Dust” and re-open my Mayans MC/SOA requests:)
Tumblr media
it’s been a hot minute since i wrote for the two shows, but my stories “Out of the Dust” and “Chains” are currently available on my wattpad (@/agrace32)
I will however, be rewriting “Out of the Dust” on here. I originally wrote it when I was 18, and my writing has changed A LOT since the show first debuted.
but for now… here’s a list of the following characters i write for:
Ezekiel “EZ” Reyes
Angel Reyes
Obispo “Bishop” Losa
Johnny “Coco” Cruz
Miguel Galindo
Happy Lowman
Jax Teller
Harry “Opie” Winston
Chibs Telford

Hi! Do you have any idea of the etymology of Les Amis’ names/French words that sound like their names?
I’m not an expert on this and someone else probably knows more! But here’s all I know off the top of my head. I’ll go from “ones that have canonical book explanations” to “ones that are vague or more speculative”:
Grantaire: His name sounds like “Grand R” or “big R” in French. As a result, he doesn’t sign his name with a normal signature but with a giant letter R. This is also why it’s a popular fan headcanon for “R” to be Grantaire’s nickname.
Lesgle/Bossuet—this is a pun but I’m still not completely sure I get it. So his name is “Lesgle,” which sounds like “l’aigle” (the eagle) and he comes from Meux. Unrelated to him there’s also a famous bishop who was known as “L’aigle of Meux,” whose real name was Bossuet. So les amis made a pun and Lesgle got the nickname Bossuet as a joke about the bishop.
Jehan Prouvaire— Jehan is obsessed with Medieval literature, so he added an “H” to his name “Jean” to make it more medieval.
Feuilly— sounds like the French word for paper, a nod to his work as a fan maker
Bahorel— sounds like “Borel,” like the name of one of Hugo’s friends Petrus Borel
Courfeyrac— comes from a wealthy family, and there’s a whole thing where he should go by “de Courfeyrac” because he’s upper class— but he refuses and just goes by plain Courfeyrac. Idk much about the origin of the name but it seems to me like it’s supposed to mark him as Wealthy— I guess it’s similar to being named something like “Thaddeus Winston the Third?”
Enjolras— is apparently a very strange uncommon-before-les-mis name that would come from Southern France, and even French people disagree on how to pronounce it (?)
Joly - I know nothing about this name except that his friends like to add extra Ls to it as a joke, I think?
Combeferre— I know nothing. This name is a mystery just like the character himself
Bonus:
Marius Pontmercy: Marius’s name is based on Victor Hugo’s middle name, “Marie.” And “Pontmercy” is the French word for “bridge” and then the French word for “thank you.” (I’ve seen fics with an English Marius named “Marius Thankbridge.”) The Pontmercy name pun is important because it’s why Thenardier never learns who Georges is; when Georges is struggling to tell him “my name is Pontmercy” all Thenardier hears is “merci,” so he just thinks the man is just thanking him.
If anyone knows more, feel free to add on! : D
