    Summary

    "What can be terrible that is not also beautiful? Where can beauty be found that does not also strike terror into a heart? Such things are embodied in the Angel of the Barricade, the man with blood on his hands, who has loved none but the stones beneath their feet."

    --

    Or, on the night of the barricade, Grantaire wakes, and talks with Enjolras about the life they could have lived.

    Summary

    “Pirates. So you want us to become pirates."

    “The sea is the only place left for us now.”

    Grantaire could not believe his ears. He knew Enjolras came up with at least three crazy ideas a day, but none as crazy as that one. Grantaire could deal with graffitiing official monuments, staging illegal protests in the Place de la Bastille or sabotaging army steamboats, but from there to becoming pirates was a huge leap. It was undoubtedly the craziest of his ideas.

    And what was worse, everyone else seemed to agree with it.

    “Okay, but why do I have to go with you? I've never been involved in any of this. I like my life here."

    "You're the only one who knows how to sail.”

    ***

    After a failed magnicide attempt and with the absolute certainty that the Guard knows absolutely everything about them, the rebel organization known as Les Amis de l'ABC decides to take to the sea as the only way to stay alive. In a kingdom subjugated under the tyrannical boots of a Monarchy whose control even feelings do not escape, they hope to find in piracy the freedom to continue opposing the regime... and also the freedom to live according to their own feelings.

    Summary

    Grantaire recalls their brief meeting early that day.

    Enjolras peacefully working until he arrived.

    Enjolras storming out right after Grantaire directed a couple of words at him.
    Enjolras not even looking back to say goodbye.

    Was this the day he finally managed to push Enjolras completely away?

    or

    Summary

    “That you and I are rivals of some sort. That by the end of the tour, we will put aside our differences and be as thick as thieves," Enjolras huffs a dry laugh. It was the first time Grantaire had heard him express anything except for disdain. “Of course, that will not be happening. So why care about what The Rolling Stone wants to push?”

    Dionysonic and The Red Flags, punk's two biggest rivals, are set to go on a tour across America. Grantaire expects it to be a disaster; Enjolras plans it to be one. But between dive bars and diners, screaming matches and stolen glances, a different story starts writing itself - one the tabloids never saw coming.

    Summary

    “Sounds like you have one hell of a fucking martyr complex,” Grantaire sneered.

    “We need discipline or none of this works!” Enjolras shot back.

    Grantaire opened his mouth to say something else, but Combeferre returned, his cool energy somehow dousing the fire that had erupted between them. “Luckily, nothing else happened,” he said pointedly. “Let’s take the win for today."

    Grantaire groaned theatrically, swiping a hand over his face. “I need a cigarette.” He stalked off, already jamming his hand down into his pocket to retrieve the box.

    They watched him go across the park to Jehan.

    “You’re safe,” Combeferre continued after a moment. “And no one got arrested. That’s all that matters for now.”

    Enjolras wanted to argue, but he knew Combeferre was right.

    Set in a modern, militarizing New Orleans. Students, artists, service workers, and strays orbit one another—through organizing meetings and art collectives, addiction and recovery, protest and police lines. Some of them believe in the law. Some believe in nothing at all. All of them are trying to stay alive long enough to matter.

    Themes of anti-imperialism, found family, queerness, and addiction / recovery

    Summary

    Grantaire’s first flower appears when he is two years old. It’s late, for a First Bloom, considering some children are born with their First already etched above their hearts, but Grantaire’s parents are warm and loving and wait to see what sort of child they have born unto the world.

    His First Bloom, when it comes, is vibrant patch of yellow carnations. He is too young to know what it means, and his parents don’t tell him, just—withdraw, and a much smaller patch of yellow carnations appears on his mother’s ankle.

    Summary

    Then, in strolls Enjolras, the lead dancer of the National Paris Ballet company.

    Somehow Grantaire gets himself tangled up in the first ever social justice ballet troupe, and is surrounded by dancers at all times. He should hate it, but he can’t stop being distracted by a certain dancer’s charisma and unfairly pretty eyes.

    Summary

    Enjolras had curled back his lip and snarled his fury and Grantaire would have fallen on his knees right there, would have carved out his own heart and given it as an offering if he thought Enjolras would take it, rather than scorn him.

    Apollo is the god of the sun. Apollo is the god light and truth and music and poetry. Apollo is the god of plagues.

    Summary

    LONG fic charting the marauders' time at Hogwarts (and beyond) from Remus' PoV - diversion from canon in that Remus's father died and he was raised in a children's home, and is a bit rough around the edges. Otherwise canon-compliant.
    1971 - 1995

    This IS a wolfstar fic, but incredibly slow burn. Literally years. Long build up but worth it I promise!

    PLEASE DO NOT COPY TO WATTPAD. SERIOUSLY, WHY??

    Summary

    Men like Enjolras belonged in books: those of ancient history, once the uglier facets of reality had been dulled by a forgiving editorial hand, or in poetry; in myths and legends that were by design exemplary, idealised projections, their heroes far too perfect to be wrought of anything but paper and ink.

    If Cupid had struck Grantaire with an arrow of gold, he had surely struck Enjolras with an arrow of lead.

    -

    Grantaire invites Enjolras into his studio, beginning a slow but profound shift in their relationship.

    Summary

    Arthur Pendragon and Merlin were literally from two different worlds. One is a prince from a great kingdom and the other a common farm boy from the next kingdom over. These two should have never met.

    But that was before they realized their parents were once friends and arranged the two of them to marry when they reached adulthood. That was before Uther turned on magic and Hunith went on the run with her infant son.

    Now almost twenty years have passed and these two boys have grown into men. Camelot knights have found Hunith and come to collect her son.

    Will Merlin survive this new world he has been thrusted into? A peasant among royals, a sorcerer among those that would have him killed if they found out. Can Merlin even begin to hope for happiness when the prince he is forced to marry wants nothing to do with him?

    Follows canon but with my own arranged marriage spin to it

    Summary

    Kim didn't believe he needed therapy, especially not for emotional trauma. He was fine, never been better after the invasion.
    Still, his brothers forced him to go to therapy to face what he never showed—his emotions.

    “Why do I need therapy for that?” Kim asked, “why do I need therapy for shoving away my emotions, and not reacting to them?”
    “Why do you believe you are alright, shoving all these feelings away?”
    “Because I don’t hurt people, and I don’t hurt myself. I’m in control"
