    Summary

    To Mr. Grantaire—the email begins. I hope this email finds you well.
    The email finds him hunched over the kitchen sink, trying to dryswallow two Ibuprofen; the email finds him running on five hours and twelve minutes of restless sleep; the email finds him not having even started on the stupid fucking movement studies; the email, in fact, does not find him all that well.

    Summary

    The door to their left opened. And Grantaire stopped dead in his tracks.

    "Enjolras?"

    Enjolras had been part of Les Amis French Club turned activist group Grantaire had been a part of in high school. And R had had a massive crush on him throughtout high school. He had looked like an angel then, practically glowing with his halo of golden curls. He still looked like an angel with those same curls glowing in the sunlight.

    Enjolras was standing in the doorway of the apartment next to his.

    ————

    Grantaire accidentally moves next door to his high school crush. But there’s no way they could rekindle any feelings, right? That would be crazy. Besides, R has a daughter to think about now. He can’t waste his time thinking about a crush from a decade ago.

    Summary

    Sam just... existed in the silence alongside him, comfortable as a cat, until he had something to say. It should have been annoying. Shane had tried to find it annoying. He'd had real commitment to the project.

    Summary

    “Perhaps, after tonight, the law no longer drives me as it has all my life. And if the law does not drive me, I do not know what will.”

    “I know you, Javert. You may not like it, but I know you. I know the sense of purpose you speak of. That kind of drive doesn’t just go away. I believe that kind of passion conveys more about the person who feels it, rather than the cause of the passion. Even if it wanes with time, even if it is a source other than the law that moves you, you will find that drive again. You will find something to direct it to.”

    --

    Months after Valjean pulls Javert from the Pont au Change, they both find themselves without purpose. Valjean becomes hopeless without Cosette to care for. Meanwhile, Javert's growing doubt about his place in the police force leaves him aimless. But Javert and Valjean's lives have always been irreversibly intertwined. As they learn what it means to change and be changed, they may find that their lives are meant to intertwine in a way neither of them ever expected.

    In case anyone needed another post-Seine Valvert slow burn ;)
