    Summary

    Grantaire knew, from the first time he saw Enjolras, that something about him was going to ruin his life— later, he would learn that not only would Enjolras ruin it, but he would save it, he would stitch it back together, he would— and had— held his hand at the end of their world; that realization came much, much later, and far after the realization that he was in love. When it happened, though, it hit him like a car crashing against the railing of a bridge, like a wave dissolving into foam at the first touch of the coast, but for the longest time, he couldn’t figure it out— all that he knew was that he needed. Then one day, like one of those roadside billboards that has always been there, one of them that you simply have never noticed, he saw it— hidden in plain sight, as natural and evident as the sun rising the day after the winter solstice.

    Summary

    Harry finds himself in the liminal space between Martinaise and actually having to be Harry Du Bois again. He needs to return to his apartment, and his job, and his life, but the prospect is terrifying; everything that was once him is everything he can't allow himself to be ever again. Kim helps him make the transition, and Harry pines wildly over him. They eat food and talk about the homo-sexual underground. Harry tries not to cry a lot.

    Summary

    Because Grantaire doesn’t feel that way about him. Grantaire is his friend, and Enjolras will love him from a distance, and that’s the way it’s always been, the way it’s always going to be.

    Enjolras’ blood freezes in his veins.

    It’s so obvious.

    This isn’t Grantaire.

    Summary

    “Wait, wait, pick a queen, R!” Joly shouted, “Double coronation!”

    Grantaire’s lips twisted as he smiled. One tooth angled out slightly from the others, it made his grin sharp.

    “Our mighty leader was born to be a queen of sorts, more Boudicca or Margaret of Anjou, but my point stands I think.” He said, and he turned to look at Enjolras.

    There was a beat of silence.

    “Grantaire,” Enjolras said, as if that covered everything.

    Summary

    Grantaire's life has a pattern: he pays his respects to Aphrodite, he goes to work, he loves Enjolras and provokes him because he can't bring himself to do otherwise. That seems unlikely to change, at least until Enjolras speaks out against the gods and ends up cursed. Grantaire does his best to help him, but it turns out it's just as hard to love Enjolras up close as it is from afar.
