    Summary

    For five decades, Inspector Javert has shunned the idea of a soulmate, determined to defy the fate decreed for him by parentage and provenance. For what manner of soulmate could possibly await one who stalks the boundaries of society, walking the knife edge above the abyss that threatens always to pull him down? He will not dive into the dregs of that criminal class for something as useless to him as seeing colours.

    Unfortunately, fate's plans are far less obvious and far more inescapable than he could have foreseen: after being thrown in each other's path again and again, it was inevitable Valjean's hands should find his eventually.

    Fingers brush against his on the night of a doomed revolution, and Javert's world is upended in more ways than one.

    Summary

    It has nearly been a year since that night on the bridge where Javert had stepped down and allowed Valjean to teach him friendship and mercy. In the months between, he has settled into Valjean's spare bedroom and has come to appreciate and even crave the company of the man he spent decades chasing. He is content and wants for nothing save for there to be less paperwork crossing his desk and less of Cosette's husband in his presence.

    Until, quite by accident, he sees Valjean as a flesh-and-blood man for the first time with needs like any other; needs that Javert finds himself echoing, reciprocating, and craving even more of. A man does not crave even the barest touch of his mere friend, so what is this emotion that fills Javert's chest until Valjean's fingers are wiping tears from his face?

    Summary

    "Javert, please," he says, and teases Javert's hands away from his hair. "This is not some sordid affair that needs to be rushed." M. Madeleine fucks Javert slowly, but thoroughly, into a mattress, much to his despair.
