Chapter Text Courfeyrac was, in his own words, “weak as a newborn kitten,” but fortunately not as blind. He was propped semi-upright with a great number of pillows and, though unable and too exhausted to hold the glass himself, was sipping lemonade with Combeferre’s help. Courfeyrac spotted Cosette as soon as she appeared in the doorway. Cosette immediately took stock of the situation and, seeing with what desperate relief the others were crowded around the couch, assumed a light and teasing air.

“Oh, you wretch, you promised me so faithfully that you were going to be careful!” “Hallo sweetheart,” said Courfeyrac, still weak and a little confused. Cosette looked uncomfortably around the room, but in the general rejoicing that Gauvain was not dead, everyone seemed inclined to let the familiarity slide. “Courfeyrac owes you his life, actually,” said Combeferre, very anxiously watching as Courfeyrac tried to get up. “Oh no, don’t,” said Cosette, hastily going to Courfeyrac’s side.

Intuition - Chrissy24601 - Les Misérables - All Media Types, Les Misérables - Schönberg/Boublil. Ever since he met the Bishop of Digne, Valjean had lived his life by trusting in God and following whatever his intuition told him he was supposed to do by Him.

That intuition had never failed him. It had urged him to go after Cosette, to climb up what turned out to be the wall of a convent where they would find sanctuary. Years later, it had urged him to go to the barricades, to set Javert free and to rescue Marius. And now, as he washed the grime of the sewers off his face, hands and hair in the kitchen sink, it urged him to find out why Javert had left instead of arresting him. He was outside his house soon enough, but at the garden gate his trouble began: which way had the inspector gone?

He took a deep breath, cleared his mind and let his instinct to the walking. Without knowing why, he turned right and began to set off down the street. That was not to say that following your intuition is easy at all times. But there were several police stations not far from here. “Don’t!” “Me?

At first, he thinks they must be playing a game around the tree. It's only when he approaches, smiling, that he hears the crying boy and the others calling and jeering. That's also when he notices the tiny kitten in the tree, clinging to a high branch, mewling helplessly. He quickens his pace, but before he can reach the group, an officer crosses the lane.

Even from this distance, he can see that it's Javert. That rigid posture is unmistakable. From behind another tree, Madeleine watches the small group. Had Javert not arrived, Madeleine might by now have persuaded one of the others to climb up, perhaps for a coin, but now the others shrink back as Javert speaks to them. Javert glances up, hands on his hips, his entire posture declaring his exasperation. Then Javert hands his hat to the child and places his hands against the tree. The kitten shrinks back as the branch shakes at Javert's approach.

Chapter Text The two quickly grew together as a patchwork family, supporting each other in their mourning and making the stretch of days more bearable.

Though Javert never thought himself fit for a father or to have a family of his own, Cosette was understanding in his handicap. She gently nudged him into the proper role of fatherhood, as she had done for Valjean, and Javert found himself growing into the part. Checking on her in the mornings, preparing her meals, sending her out for errands.

Still, some things were not entirely easy. It was painfully brief, though they both gave their eulogies for the man in attempt to make the final farewell last. “No doubt our paths will cross again,” he promised the oaken casket, though he knew he’d fallen too far from God’s light to meet him in paradise. “Heaven shines brighter,” the bishop assured them. Outside, the snow was falling peacefully, blanketing the sleeping fields as the two mourners made their way home. What did the stars see in them? The Value of Five Francs - latin_cat - Les Misérables - All Media Types. Montreuil-sur-Mer, January 1821 The inn on the corner of the Place de la Poissonerie, known as Mère Taillon's, was where the small but select police force of Montreuil-Sur-Mer chose to spend their off-duty hours.

It was a tradition that dated back to a time before the past two Chiefs of Police and certainly before the present's posting here. Indeed, Inspector Javert was only the latest in a long line of superior officers to have the delights of the Face of the Madonna at his command. Unusually amongst the people of Montreuil, Mère Taillon seemed to have a liking for Javert. It was for this reason that at this particular moment the Inspector could be found standing outside the tavern next to the door, leaning nonchalantly against the drainpipe and occasionally sipping from a mug of wine. At the sight of M. He had seen M. It was from this train of thought that Javert's eyes turned to the girl. Whilst this was occurring, M.

Addictions - latin_cat - Les Misérables - All Media Types. Paris – 1825 Javert slammed the door of his apartment shut behind him, flung off his coat and hat, lit a candle and sat down at the table with a growl of frustration. Again. He had missed him yet again! He had gone to the Gorbeau Tenement with only the merest hint of a suspicion, flushed out his fox and chased it halfway across Paris… now after hounding him all night he had inexplicably lost both scent and quarry.

He had searched the entire surrounding district, yet still a day later there was no sign of his thief. A whole night gone to waste for nothing! He sighed and put his head in his hands, running weary fingers through his grizzled hair. Javert wiped his hands down his face and leaned back in his chair, loosening his cravat and unbuttoning his waistcoat. At this the Inspector let out a disgusted snort and shook his head, dismissing this passing fancy as soon as it had arisen. But you're a superstitious fool, aren't you? Shut up. But you can, the little voice chimed in. Yes. "Oh? A Winter's Evening - latin_cat - Les Misérables - All Media Types. Chapter Text Montreuil-sur-Mer – January, 1824 The situation the town of Montreuil-sur-Mer was in could be summed up in the following sentence; M. Madeleine was gone. But who, dear reader, is - or rather was - M. Madeleine? Madeleine's business had failed.

His name was Javert, and he belonged to the police. A tall, dark and seclusive man, Javert had taken up his post as Inspector of Police only three years ago. On this particular evening the said Javert was walking along the near-deserted streets of Montreuil in silence; head bowed against the driving snow, brim of his hat pulled low, coat buttoned up high against the piercing wind, chin tucked firmly into his cravat. He turned the corner into the next street, stepping over a bundle of rags that may or may not be a body and his thoughts wandered to the recent 'departure' of M.

The snow swirled around half-heartedly as it was lifted by a short-lived gust of wind. "Monsieur, Monsieur Javert! " Javert stopped. "Please, monsieur, turn around. Arras - Ravenna44 - Les Miserables. The Chameleon - Carmarthen - Les Misérables - Schönberg/Boublil, Les Misérables - Victor Hugo. Javert always wished his daemon would settle as a dog. His mother owned only one book, a slim age-yellowed folio of delicately colored drawings of strange animals, brightly colored birds and spotted cats and curiously shaped lizards.

She could read a little, and when Javert was small, he would lean up against her, warm and safe in the circle of her arms with her cat daemon Marie purring against her hip, and Javert's Étienne in mouse form next to his ear. She would name the animals for him: Le léopard. Le pélican. Later, when she had gone out for the day to read the cards or wash laundry, Javert would pore over the book, trying to understand how the words on the page could turn into words on the tongue, and Étienne would amuse himself by taking on each form in turn, first a leopard, then a snake, snarling and slinking and slithering about the room. But in the streets, before others, Étienne was most often a dog, a snappish mutt with a coat of all colors and a notched ear. He envied them.

Heaven or Hell - thelilnan - Les Misérables (2012. Chapter Text "Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked, or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers. But whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. " ”You would read me that passage,” Javert grumbled, eyes lowering to the blanket, “A savior complex fits you well.” Valjean shut the Bible with a sigh. It’d been like this for days, ever since Javert awoke from his coma. “The saved are usually more grateful,” he muttered under his breath, sitting back in his chair, “But you were certain you would receive punishment.

Javert refused to look up and instead pulled at his bandages around his splinted arm. He would be dependent. “Are you hungry, Javert?” “Trying to make me admit weakness.” “Your back is broken. He was right. “I am hungry.” “Then I will make you food.” “No!” “Then you’ll make it yourself?” Fire raged inside Javert’s chest. “Beef or chicken broth?” “Beef,” he relented. He was a prisoner.

The last thing he wanted was to talk, discuss, mumble obscenities in the dark. He did not want to listen. He did not want to participate. He only wanted sleep, and the blissful forgetfulness that came with it. And still, that night, he could not obtain it.

The mumbling of the other prisoners was too loud, his skin was too tight, his hands hurt too much. "Michel, that Michel? Leopold snorted. Luckily Barthelemy was a patient man at heart, and he graciously limited himself to spitting on the floor for the rude comment. Valjean rolled on his side. "I would fuck him," supplied Marcel. "Or maybe like fucking your mother," conceded Bathelemy. A voice Valjean could not identify intervened in the increasingly heated but still whispered discussion.

There was a moment of silence when one of the guards passed in front of their cell, a heavenly minute of dark and blissful quiet. "I'd fuck Javert," whispered Leopold. Valjean opened his eyes. "His mother is a whore. Heaven or Hell - thelilnan - Les Misérables (2012.

Chapter Text "I shouldn't have put it past you", Javert finally sighed. Jean Valjean let out a small sigh of relief. He had been getting worried. Ever since he dove into the Seine after the suicidal Inspector, the man hadn't said a word. "Put what past me, Inspector? " "It figures that since your daughter is to be married off, you would need to find another case to unleash your pity upon.

" Jean Valjean simply smiled and shook his head. "You have always found it hard to understand me, Inspector. " "I do not believe that I have ever properly understood you. Although Jean Valjean had bundled the inspector up in all of the blankets that he could find, the man was still shivering. "You will not be well enough to leave for a while, Inspector", Valjean noted. "I will be soon, Valjean", Javert protested, "And there is no point in you calling me 'Inspector' anymore. "You what? " It was almost impossible to imagine the man that was sitting in front of Valjean to be anything other than his post.

His title. His hat. His solidity. Things that he had been so proud of once.

What was Jean Valjean proud of? Javert was floating now. Javert let out a small mirthless laugh. He had been walking for two hours, not particularly caring where his feet took him. Luckily, or unluckily in Javert's opinion, he was stopped by none other than Jean Valjean. "It is a beautiful evening to take a walk, Inspector. Valjean's voice was playful, but Javert could see the infuriating righteous worry hidden in the man's eyes.

"Well, I have finished my task, Inspector. Judgment. "Is the boy alive? " Tension that Javert had not noticed from Valjean's shoulders. "Marius is alive, and the doctors are certain that he will make a full recovery," Valjean answered. Inspector Javert had another question. "Why that boy? Valjean frowned. "I didn't particularly care for their revolution. "It is tragic to see blood on the streets of Paris. "Why I went through all that trouble to save Marius? Javert snorted.

Chapter Text There are certain pairs of people in this life whom some force of the universe – call it Providence or Fate, to your liking – seems determined to thrust together.

Such people, regardless of their social status, their temperament, even at times their own desire, find their paths converging time and time again, often against seemingly insurmountable odds. To a lucky few such pairs, who are naturally well-matched and occupy positions in this world which are not born to natural conflict, this force is a great and benevolent one. They call it names like true love, and each other soulmate. Such people often marry, and live out their days in a type of bliss that is rare indeed, full of the quiet and enduring joy that comes with being one half of a whole that has been bound together by some higher force. There are other such pairs, however, who are far less fortunate – those whom society has conspired to keep apart even as this indefatigable force draws them ever closer. “No. “Mr. Should You Come Across a Body in the River - scioscribe - Les Misérables - All Media Types, Les Misérables (2012)
