Formatting on Tumblr blows. So, here’s a cheatsheet. Simply go to reblog this and click on HTML. Then, copy and paste the sections you need. There are links to symbols and generators you can use as well (particularly for header text). “br /” is used for keeping text one line under what was previously written (HEADER #1) while p creates new paragraphs with a clear line between (HEADER #2). If you write too much in the pre (grey background), it will add a scrollbar. Here’s a link to all the code used because it’s gonna look weird reblogged.

A Wind Turned Dark With Burning (Enjolras and Combeferre, 48 BCE)

teamenjolras:

There are a couple of different theories as to how exactly the Library of Alexandria burned down, but I’ve gone with “Julius Caesar did it on accident” here because that one’s the easiest and I’m lazy. And let me just apologize in advance for the no doubt rampant historical inaccuracies in this thing; sorry, Egyptologists, please don’t yell at me.

The noise was the first sign that something was wrong. Alexandria was as loud as any other port city, and Enjolras was used to the sounds of everyday life drifting up from the streets below, but those familiar noises were gone. In their place was a cacophony – cries of shock and confusion, snatches of terrified prayer, men calling to each other to come and look, come and see. From the distance, there came the sound of screams.

Oh, now this just isn’t fair.


(so I suddenly just became seriously tempted to transfer the unfinished, iffy crap that is Playing Pygmalion over to AO3, just for the hitwhoring quality of the thing.  I 1/3 want people to love it, and 2/3s want people to forget it ever happened.   hm…..)


Siiiiiiigh so I was just at a gathering of old (i.e. mostly that-one-class-from-freshman-year) friends and Les Mis came up twice without me prompting it

and then a not-me someone suggested Les Mis the space opera

and I just.

Les Mis/Team Fortress 2 crossover… Am I banned from the fandom yet?
From left to right: Jehan (Pyro), Joly (Medic), Courfeyrac (Scout), Bossuet (Heavy), Enjolras (Spy), Bahorel (Soldier), Combeferre (Engineer), Grantaire (Demoman), Feuilly (Sniper)

For the second time I find myself envious of your talent for illustrating Les Amis/video games crossovers.
…Which is a curiously specific envy, but oh well.

I know nothing about TF2, but the idea of a pyro Jehan, a Jehan who smiles into the flames as he feels the breath of the coming apocalypse, pleases me immensely.

LM Across History: WW1 AU

ratheralark:

Quick’n’dirty contribution to the Les Mis Across History fest! Warning: unbeta’d writing and half-remembered French history follow. 

At the dawn of the first World War, Courfeyrac introduces “a pupil” to his socialist friends. In which Combeferre is an antimilitarist, Courfeyrac fancies himself a paladin, and Laigle is impressed by people who are capable of brevity. And nothing much really happens.

My too-brief submission for the fest.  Don’t get your hopes up too much - this is 1/3 vague history and 2/3 Valjean’s reclusiveness.  Contains Valjean, bb!Cosette, and a Wikipedia-level knowledge of Cass County, Michigan c. 1840-1850.  (Bwoop bwoop bwoop does not contain Amis, repeat, does not contain Amis.)

If anyone’s curious about my broader ideas for this ‘verse:

-Jean Valjean (John Johnson) is a poor farmer of uncertain family origins from rural Pennsylvania.  As is par for the course, he’s on the run after breaking parole.

-Fantine (Fanny) is a free, mixed-race maid in Baltimore.  Pity she believes that Felix Thompson will take care of her and her daughter.  She travels north after being abandoned, hoping to make a better life for the next generation.  Things end about as well as you’d expect.

-After John Johnson rescues Cosette (Cora), he has no idea what her actual legal status is so is constantly running to try to keep her safe (and himself out of prison).  The changing fugitive slave laws are therefore a Problem.

-I guess the Amis have to be abolitionists.  Maybe some of them start off in Quaker circles because haha “Friends.”

-Whoops I’ve ignored Javert again.

Giving in and writing a brief LMAH entry.  Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, anyone?


Vol. 1, Book 3, Ch. 9: Fin joyeuse de la joie

berrysphase:

Variation on a theme by Hugo: Enjolras and Grantaire have a contentious conversation about the legwork that goes into a revolution. Set in the run-up to the April Revolution (Seoul, 1960), and genderbent, because.

Well, here’s my contribution, and I am officially up way, way too late.

I don’t know how to even begin reviewing this, so have a reblog accompanied by lots of enthusiastic hand motions.
