    "We men are wretched things." - Homer, The Iliad

    When James Potter transfers to a tiny university in rural Vermont, he finds that the mysterious group of classics students has far more to hide than he had bargained for, and he soon finds himself in the middle of a web of murder, mystery, and Ancient Greek literature.

    Summary

    In which Grantaire is the increasingly disgruntled Guardian of Fear and the Grim Reaper has gone missing.

    “You’ve lost The Grim?” Musichetta says shrilly, as if Grantaire is somehow personally responsible for humanity’s mortality.

    “It’s not my fault,” Grantaire throws his arms up in the air and the shadows follow, jittering across the room, “Excuse me for thinking that Death could take care of himself!”

    “Are you telling us that the Will-o-the-Wisp, whose sole purpose is to mislead humans, has himself gotten lost?” Bossuet asks, attempting, and failing, to suppress his glee.

    “Once I’ve made sure that the world isn’t ending, I’ll be sure to tell Bahorel all about the irony.”

    And so, he supposes, he’s ready for his life to begin. (It’s been full of arbitrary beginnings already―beginnings for a person he never was, a person who never existed past the plane of his family’s imaginings.)

    Summary

    Enjolras was an ice-maiden. Enjolras was a Valkyrie who rode through grey skies and never looked at the ground. She ran Les ABC with an iron fist, but as far as Grantaire knew, she lived like a nun; in a small circle full of incestuous hook-ups and girlfriend-swapping, she was an island without bridges, an ivory tower without a door.

    Summary

    It's been eighteen months since the protest that nearly killed them all, and eighteen months since Grantaire swore off Paris forever. Coming back to town for some friends' wedding was never part of the plan, and Paris is either a dream or an oven, he can't tell which.

    Summary

    “And what exactly do these friends of yours plan to do about…whatever it is you guys are talking about.”

    “The blatant elitism in magical education,” Bahorel said promptly. “And…well, I’m not sure yet. But something. This isn’t just chat,” he insisted. “Something’s going to come out of this, and I think you should be there for it."

     

    Bahorel persuades Feuilly to meet a few friends of his who have some interesting ideas.

    Summary

    Set in the distant future, Enjolras and the Amis (and Grantaire, who was drunk) volunteer for General Lamarque's resistance army, donning techtonic battle suits to fight the Coalition that governs the New Paris Collective. They didn't expect this to involve so much sitting around in a tiny bunker, waiting to be killed.

     

    Grantaire and Bahorel found the wine tap and drank it almost dry that very night, with the help of the rest of the new crew of Barricade Base 43. Somewhere around their eighth round, a golden-haired god walked – no, strode – into the room and Grantaire’s memories flickered, wavered, and caught like fire when the man began to talk.

    “That.” He grabbed Bahorel’s shoulder and gestured to the man. “Who is that?”

    “Enjolras,” Bahorel replied, raising his cup in a toast. “Our fearless leader.”

    Summary

    Sometimes, Grantaire feels eyes on him, but when he turns around, there's no one there, save for the man in the corner who stares at him as if he's a blind man and Grantaire is the sun.

    (Or, Grantaire loses his memory.)

    Summary

    He presses his forehead to Enjolras’ shoulder, and cries. He feels Enjolras’ arms wrap around him, and for some reason, that only makes him cry harder. Enjolras says things, whispers fiercely about how he’s going to be okay, and Grantaire starts shaking, because he’s not, and Enjolras doesn’t even know, Grantaire hasn’t even told him yet.

    Summary

    Except, when he made his excellent plan to get them together (as if he was ever actually going to pick Grantaire up from his tattoo sessions, and it was frankly an amateur mistake to believe that) he hadn’t considered the ramifications of it. Namely, that it would mean Enjolras and Grantaire had gotten their shit together before Courfeyrac, who was arguably less oblivious and much more charming, did.

    (And it also means that he and Combeferre are now alone together much, much more than they were before. And Combeferre is slowly working his way towards full tattoo sleeves. And Courfeyrac is slowly dying, as a direct result of both.)

    Summary

    Grantaire really doesn't expect Enjolras to force him to move in with him when he hears how shitty Grantaire's apartment is. And he definitely doesn't expect Enjolras to want him to stay, or how easy it turns out to be, or the way Enjolras has a habit of doing his studying in the sunshine on the living room floor ...

    Yeah, he may be in some trouble.
