Montreuil-sur-mur - On the morning of _____, M-sur-m has declared it's new mayor. A man with a stunning reputation of being elected by the king twice and turning it down, only on the third time accepting at last has been finally seated in the mairie.
Starting off with generic au in the les mis fandom (the old men side specifically)
Javert’s redemption arc, aka Post-seine, is the most well known/popular and by far the most flexible au in the fandom. The general summary is already in the name, Javert gets his redemption arc, typically by Valjean’s hands as a starting point. Although at first, he is frustrated at the man for saving his life twice, it develops into Javert getting a deeper understanding about the man who he will soon come to love. There are a million different ways that this au can give, some are long case fics (fanfictions that involves action and police work) and some are merely one shots or vignettes of them being sweet and healing. This title is also used for Everyone lives au’s and/or Javert becomes a parental figure to the amis au’s. Post-seine is an au where writers and readers alike try to understand how Valjean and Javert work, with themselves or with people around them, when their world turns upside down, for the better or for the worse, you decide.
Here is a short list of post-seine fics that I definitely recommend for basically about anyone! This ranges from Soul-mate post-seine to Javert exploration fics.
Everything is sfw, but do read the tags before jumping in, just a small heads up.
(Also you can add more!)
ooc? absolutely. very self-indulgent and fun to draw? also yes. only posting this because it would be a shame to let the effort i spent painting the background elements fester among my files? also also yes.

And I hope when you think of me years down the line
You can’t find one good thing to say
And I’d hope that if I found the strength to walk out
You’d stay the hell out of my way
I am drowning
There is no sign of land
You are coming down with me
Hand in unlovable hand
There was once a story:
Of a king,
his Princess,
and a Knight.
It was quite a silly story, they all say
What they didn't know was that
it was full of tragedy and scars left untreated.
“I understand. That’s the trouble. I understand. I’ll understand all the time. All day and all night. Especially all night. I’ll understand. You don’t have to worry about that.”
