this mix could burn a hole in anyone (but it was you i was thinking of) by zippys

Summary
Enj,
It’s okay if you hate me now. I would hate me too— there’s something about this that just feels so cowardly. I couldn’t say any of it to your face. This box has been sitting in my closet for about eight months, and I just couldn’t bring myself to send it. I threw this in at the last minute, obviously (you know me, always procrastinating). I just need you to know that I don’t hate you; I never have, and I never will.
Inside of this letter, you must have found the CD I made you. It’s silly, I know, and definitely a little MySpace of me, but I always loved showing you music, and burning you CDs, and, well, old habits really die hard. I still sometimes find myself reaching for my phone to say goodnight to you. I still find myself wearing your old shirts. I know that I’m the one that did this— not just to myself, but to both of us—, and in all honesty (you know how hard it is for me to be honest with anybody, let alone you; let alone myself), I regret it.Yours, in the ranks of death,
R(or, the e/R exes-to-lovers mixtape AU)

Summary
“Enjolras is staying in town for Christmas. Just so you know.”
“That’s— that’s not my business.” Grantaire scrubbed his hands over his face, wondering if pressing the heels of his palms hard enough against his eyes would make it all feel better. It wouldn’t. “Just leave me be, and go do your family stuff. I’ll— I’ll be here when you come home, alright?”
Jehan’s lips pursed, their face tense. “Fine.” They hovered awkwardly in the corner of his bedroom, like it physically pained them to leave; their body and face contorted in similar manners. “Just remember that, y’know, you don’t actually have to be alone on Christmas. Someone will be there for you, even if it’s someone you aren’t expecting.”
Grantaire resisted the urge to throw a pillow at them. “I’ll be fine,” he insisted. “I love you, though, and I’ll see you when you come home?”
“Remember to feed and water yourself,” Jehan replied, smiling softly. “I’ll see you. I love you! Have a good holiday, and don’t mope too much.”
And with that, Jehan was leaving, and Grantaire was alone. It wasn’t the first time he’d been alone for the holidays— not by a long shot—, and he knew that it wouldn’t be the last. -

Summary
It started, as many things do, with a fight; it had been a particularly nasty meeting, with Grantaire interrupting Enjolras at every turn to wax poetic about things that had no relevance whatsoever, and Enjolras snapping back, taking the bait the same way fish catch onto a hook. The conversation came to an ugly stop when Grantaire, drunk as ever, pushed him too hard, and Enjolras, in front of all of their friends, reared back, “Grantaire, you are incapable of believing, of thinking, of willing, of living, and of dying.”
He’d gasped at the words the second they fell from his mouth, but it was done.
“Enjolras.” Grantaire gulped down the last of his drink, staring daggers from the back table. “One day, you’ll find out how goddamn capable of dying I am.” He stood up from the table, his chair clattering to the ground with an angry, metallic thunk, and stormed out. “See if I’ll ever follow you again.” -

Summary
“Do you even want to believe?” Agent Grantaire asked, fiddling with the hem of his shirt sleeve. It was a habit that could be annoying eventually, since it would catch in Enjolras’s peripheral, but it was better than clicking a pen. Combeferre was a fidgeter, a frequent pen-clicker; that was the one thing Enjolras didn’t miss.
“I want my partner back,” Enjolras sighed. Agent Grantaire said nothing. “There’s— there’s a lot of work to be done. The real feds just sent me a new case. They— they haven’t even tried to solve it, though. They just see that something could be amiss, then drop it down on our desks. So don’t get too comfortable.”
“You’re putting me to work, and I don’t even know your name yet,” Agent Grantaire pointed out, setting his bag down in Combeferre’s chair. He nudged the nameplate on the desk, and Enjolras tried not to scream, but an irritated noise still escaped him, more of a squeaky huff than anything else.
In response, Enjolras only pointed at the engraved nameplate on his own desk. Agent Grantaire muttered something under his breath, but Enjolras couldn’t tell what he said.(or, an x-files fusion/vampire au for mj, ft. vamp! r, & fbi agent! enj)

Summary
He didn’t even think his audition was anything that great— he had stumbled his way through the cold read of the audition sides, he had gotten into a minor disagreement with his audition scene partner that led to him dreaming of yanking the guy’s hair out, and oh. Of course. The name next to Orestes. Because the world hated him, because the world thought that his life was one big joke— Enjolras. The guy from auditions, who also happened to be the one person in the last year’s production of The Glass Menagerie that Grantaire couldn’t forget. He had only gone to see the show to support his best friend— Eponine had landed the role of Laura in an attempt to romance the blundering fool who was auditioning for Jim—, but had left the PAC tormented by visions of blond. Eponine had kindly informed him that Enjolras didn’t date; he had made it very clear at a cast party when a nervous techie asked him out on a date— rumour (Courfeyrac) has it that the techie was never seen again. Combeferre, Eponine’s not-boyfriend and Enjolras’s best friend, sighed when Courfeyrac told the story— “He didn’t die, he just transferred.”

“You know he wouldn’t mind extending the deadline,” chided Courfeyrac softly, stacking and stapling the documents.
“I know that about him,” said Grantaire, rather bitterly.

Summary
Feuilly's head hurts.
To tell the truth, Feuilly's head started to hurt around midnight, and continued to hurt from then until sunrise, every heartbeat pulse stabbing between his eyes in a mockery of his empty bottle of aspirin. The bells over the door of the 24-hour convenience store jingle overhead, sending another knife through his skull, and he grimaces at the fluorescent lighting until his eyes acclimate. There are two other souls in the store: an exhausted, broad-shouldered girl half-visible behind scratched plastic at the counter, and a man standing motionless in front of the cooler of energy drinks.
Great.
Grantaire and Feuilly strike up a pre-dawn, highly-caffeinated friendship and stumble into saving the day.

Summary
“Oh, come on,” Grantaire scoffs, because 1) he’s an asshole and 2) having Enjolras’ furious gaze directed at him and only him is...something, to say the least. Intoxicating, if he’s feeling pretentious. And honestly, when is he ever not. “Pretty boy power prodigies like you benefit from this ’oppressive system’.”
“Grantaire,” Bossuet whispers frantically. “You maybe wanna, uh. Cut it out.”
He wants to do no such thing, thank you very much. He’s on a roll. But then he notices the telltale scent of smoke in the air. He notices the wisps of it coming from Enjolras’ clenched fists. Ah. Whoops.

Enjolras doesn’t like the Powered education system and Grantaire doesn’t even have a power. Together, they don’t fight crime, obviously. They mostly try their best not to burn the school down. Sky High AU.

Summary
There are plenty of rooms on the ship that have windows, but they've always been given to Security, and to those whom Security values or desires something from. Still, they can't keep the stars entirely to themselves. There are cleaning crews and service technicians who must be allowed in to do their jobs, and word spreads through them, in brief whispers exchanged in the corridors, in notes and hearsay and rumor.
There's a planet outside, an actual planet.
