    Summary

    Being an explanation of how Champmathieu was freed from the prison of Toulon and became the gardener of a Parisian convent—though the author, alas, can account only for how the parties responsible for his abduction (fortuitous to himself) became co-conspirators, and not the details of their crime.

    (Written for the fabulous Nortism as part of the 2025 Drink With Me exchange.)

    Summary

    Musichetta stretched- feet flexing as she went onto her tip toes until cracking her back.

    “God,” she sighs, “I haven’t had a real hibernation in years. I can’t imagine what it would be like after waking up if it’s this bad in segments.”

    Grantaire huffs another laugh. “Maybe you should try it sometime. A “real” hibernation, I mean,” he says with air quotes. “Go home, or whatever it is you lot do. God knows we were cursed with the twenty-four-hour cycle.”

    “You want to get rid of me that bad, hm?” She says with a sly smile. “Have a sausage fest on board for a hundred and eighty days? Probably your dream come true”

    “Har har. You and God doing stand-up in your dreams? Working on your tight-five?”
