There's a tale I could tell...

 

...but really shouldn't. Still, it's kind of therapeutic, isn't it?

 

It rather surprises me that I haven’t written fanfic before what with my hyperactive imagination

and my unassailable conviction that life really IS a nineteenth-century novel, but having so far managed to
churn out the following inexcusable drivel, I realise it’s a good idea that I’ll probably never write any more.

 

Therefore I apologise for the pointlessness contained herein.  A lot.  Really, there’s just no excuse for it.

 

Long Live the Future

I’m rather sappy about poor old Prouvaire and that firing-squad thing because I find it rather hard to believe that

anyone who sits around in cafés churning out alexandrines and staring off into space wouldn’t run a mile if someone

shoved a musket in their face.  At least, I’m damned sure I would.

This is also posted at the , to my extreme delight :)

 

A Life About to Start

The result of taking the line “Have you asked of yourselves what’s the price you might pay?" in Red and Black
too seriously. Would have worked better if Bahorel hadn't died somewhere between the two timescales.
Or, obviously, if someone else had written it.

 

One More Dawn, One More Day

Remarkable for being the only thing I've ever written that isn't Sentimental Barricade Angst and therefore
considerably better than the rest here, but that's not saying much.

 

Don't you fret, M'sieur Marius...

Your basic Eponine-and-Marius death sequence. Or is it? Whooooo.

 

I Did Not Live Until Today

Oh, the angst. Jehan's take on A Life About to Start. He sounds rather calmer than he should, but
I couldn't bring myself to torture him too much. (Yes, there is a bit of a recurring theme in these stories, and
yes I am running out of lines from the musical to name them with.)

 

Who Cares About Your Lonely Soul?

Because speculative barricade deaths are just asking to be written. Although, it goes
without saying, not by me. ;)



 

Enjolras wonders who the hell’s writing this piffle -
but at least he’s not in it (yet...)

 

(Some of these are posted at ff.net here - any sort of comment will
make me practically euphoric, but sadly still probably won't shut me up.)
