    Summary

    “Hey, you weren't saving this one, were you?” Grantaire says, pointing vaguely to his seat and turning towards his left-hand neighbour. The neighbour looks at him, and Grantaire's breath hitches in his throat.
    Oh, no.
    Holy shit.

    (Slightly coming-of-age-y college AU that will likely involve R walking into the wrong class in his first week, les Amis as editors of the student paper, an eventual nightly arrest, and a trip to Paris)

    Summary

    Summary

    A dark and lonely night, a golden flash, a face in the mirror.
    Grantaire was haunted by questions, by regret and by Enjolras.

    Summary

    “We just- We want you to know, Enj,” Combeferre says, taking off his glasses and cleaning them, a nervous tick he’s had since high school, “That this doesn’t change anything between the three of us.”

    Enjolras blinks, confused. “Well, I assumed so. Why would anything change?”

    Or

    Combeferre and Courfeyrac finally get together, some things change. And all three of them fail to communicate about it

    Summary

    “You do not believe in this cause,” Enjolras continued. Grantaire heard him push his chair away and stand. “You believe in nothing but fictions. You believe in a marble statue that doesn’t exist.” Light footfalls on the wooden floor. Enjolras took practiced steps. Grantaire could feel the gaze on his back and closed his hand into a fist.
    “Cast me out, then. You know who I am, ask me to leave.” Grantaire bit the words as though they might burn him if he held them on his tongue.
    “Do you want me to?” Enjolras asked plainly.

    At some point before the revolution truly begins in earnest, Grantaire writes a description of each member of Les Amis in a journal. Upon discovery, this prompts several difficult conversations about what he wrote. Prompted by a thought I had many years ago that the descriptions of Les Amis in the book read as thought they were written by someone in the group. I expanded upon that idea until it turned into musings about aromanticism and love.
