    Summary

    When classical violinist Javert gets hired as the new concertmaster of the Montreuil Philharmonic, the last thing he expects is for Maestro Madeleine to actually be the infamous Jean Valjean from his conservatory days. The first problem with this? Their polar opposite philosophies on music make it nearly impossible to work together. The second problem? … He’s still hot.

    A Valvert modern-day orchestra AU :)

    Summary

    “Perhaps, after tonight, the law no longer drives me as it has all my life. And if the law does not drive me, I do not know what will.”

    “I know you, Javert. You may not like it, but I know you. I know the sense of purpose you speak of. That kind of drive doesn’t just go away. I believe that kind of passion conveys more about the person who feels it, rather than the cause of the passion. Even if it wanes with time, even if it is a source other than the law that moves you, you will find that drive again. You will find something to direct it to.”

    --

    Months after Valjean pulls Javert from the Pont au Change, they both find themselves without purpose. Valjean becomes hopeless without Cosette to care for. Meanwhile, Javert's growing doubt about his place in the police force leaves him aimless. But Javert and Valjean's lives have always been irreversibly intertwined. As they learn what it means to change and be changed, they may find that their lives are meant to intertwine in a way neither of them ever expected.

    In case anyone needed another post-Seine Valvert slow burn ;)

    Summary

    Tired from countless blind dates set up by Cosette, Valjean grabs a random person by the arm in line at a café to tell her that he'd "met someone" to save himself from further embarrassment. Unfortunately, he grabs Javert. Javert, who Valjean had to talk off a bridge after the protests last year, who pardoned him in exchange for never seeing him again.

    Cosette is, of course, thrilled. She finds Javert's work email online and pesters him about dating her father. Javert agrees, if only because his subconscious is telling him that he owes Valjean for saving his life twice. From there the two of them proceed to "date" while still kind of hating each other.

    Of course, things don't stay that way.

    Summary

    This last book laid into place on the proper pile, Javert raises his gaze to Valjean’s. "Your library," he says, in the crisp tones of judgement that only a police inspector could hope to intone, "is an affront to the very concept of order."

    [Javert reorganizes Valjean's library. It is easier said than done.]

    Summary

    Theft, forgeries, post-it note conversations, and a rivalry that's spanned decades. Jean Valjean has avoided arrest for nearly ten years since he was first released from prison after being arrested the first time, and he is the number one annoyance to one Detective Inspector Javert. And then Valjean breaks into his apartment to give him a painting. And then he continues breaking into his apartment to leave post-it notes on his refrigerator and gifts on his coffee table that Javert throws away at the first opportunity. And then Javert doesn't know what to think.

    Javert hates his life and he hates art, but most of all he hates Valjean.

    Summary

    Instead of committing suicide, Javert goes on a three-day bender. When Valjean finds him, Javert assumes he's a hallucination. Things proceed awkwardly from there.

    --

    “Where are you going?” the hallucination asked, which was foolish. Surely his brain knew what Javert planned. 

    “To the nearest--” Javert paused, looked at the recently vacated wine-ship, and amended what he had been about to say. “To the next wine-shop. Obviously I am not drunk enough if you are here.”

    The apparition got to its feet with a wince, as though his mind had ridiculously conjured aches and pains with which to torment Valjean’s specter. “Javert, your words make no sense,” it said, and Javert laughed again.

    “I am making perfect sense.” He touched his pocket where he kept his money, frowned. “I hope you are only a drink or two from going away. I do not know how much more beer I can afford.”

    Summary

    Mike knows that he’s staring, that his jaw has dropped from shock, and most ridiculously of all in the silence that follows Harvey’s declaration the only thing Mike can hear in his head is Mary Poppins’ voice saying close your mouth please, Michael, we are not a codfish.
    So Mike makes the concerted effort to close his mouth, and then after a few more painfully awkward seconds Mike says, “I’m sorry, can you repeat that?”
    Harvey sighs heavily. “I think we should get married.”

    Summary

    Sam and Jess are getting married and Dean couldn’t be any happier for them. Honestly, they’re kind of disgustingly perfect for each other and Dean’s pretty damn excited about staying with them the week before the wedding. He’s Sam’s best man, of course, and he doesn’t even mind that Jess has her own best man to share in all the organisational duties. The more the merrier, right?

    Except Dean must have done something to epically piss off the universe because Jess’s best man just happens to be Castiel friggin’ Novak. He’s got even hotter since High School, but apparently no friendlier and if Cas wants to spend the week pretending like they’ve never met before? Fine. Two can play at that game.

    Summary

    Betrayal isn’t even a new feeling for him, but he’s never opened his house up to someone after they’ve left him for dead. He’s never had to pretend everything’s okay, force things to be okay for the good of the world, for the good of people he’s not even sure he likes anymore. He’s a mechanic, he itches to fix things for real instead of this emotional crap.

    The thing about meeting your idols is that they don't always quite measure up to what you expected. And then sometimes, they're everything you imagined and more.

    Chuck Hansen will never admit Raleigh Becket was his hero, but the poster rolled up in his drawer says otherwise.

    Summary

    Take a dragon and get rid of it, take a Kingdom under the Mountain and let it thrive under Thráin’s rule, take the King’s eldest son - as proud and arrogant as you can picture him - and then send him to the Shire in order to refine his diplomatic skills. Or, as his sister puts it: to grow them at last. Now, throw in the Master of Bag End playing host for the dwarf prince: you’ll get a clash of cultures, an ill-advised bet about educating a certain hobbit in the dwarf-lore, and all the pride and prejudice business you could hope for, plus Khuzdul.

    A retelling inspired by My Fair Lady.
