    Summary

    She despises him, but she's worried about suffocating him anyway, and Grantaire could live off that for months. He's not sure what resemblance it has to love, the love the poets sing of; what he feels for Enjolras is something that makes him dream about grovelling at her feet and kissing the sole of the shoe that kicks him.

    He doesn't even fucking have a foot fetish.

    Summary

    It felt suspiciously like fate when Grantaire received an owl from Hogwarts pleading for his help unbreaking a curse ensnaring Professor Enjolras, or maybe the cosmic forces of universe just enjoyed shoving painful memories in his face. Either way, he had a job to do.

    Summary

    Grantaire is the son of the President of the United States, and he really doesn't like the French King's youngest son, Enjolras. Enjolras doesn't like Grantaire that much either. When a small altercation between them ruins a wedding and gains media attention, they're forced to feign friendship to keep the public opinion high and the Franco-American relationship intact.

    Noscitur A Sociis* by for BadassIndustries

    Summary

    “But we’re friends,” Enjolras groans, exasperated. “Of course I like him. He makes me laugh, he makes me see things differently…” His tone grows more and more frustrated. “He has a nice face. I like his eyes. And the way he grins while resting his chin on his fist. And the way he sort of…contorts his face when I make a joke he wasn’t expecting…”
    Courfeyrac watches the slightly glazed, happy look that diffuses the frustration on Enjolras’ face for a moment. That sure looks like being in love to him...

    [Part of the Modern Means Less Miserable universe, but a completely self-contained story.]

    * "Noscitur a sociis". Legal latin for “it is known from its associates,” or: the meaning of an unclear or ambiguous word should be determined by considering the words with which it is associated in the context, meaning that it is subject to the interpretation of the involved parties.

    Summary

    "To the best of my knowledge," Combeferre clears his throat, mercifully throwing himself onto the sword to save Grantaire from staring like an idiot all night, "Hymenaeus was Apollo’s son, Enjolras. I think you’re sending mixed messages to the poor bartender."

    a.k.a. How Grantaire learned Enjolras has a mouth on him.
