Illustrated comic of Combeferre/Courfeyrac in a Les Mis World War II AU ❤ Tw: Angst 😢
🙏 just kidding there's no comic, I'm nowhere near that talented, nor do I have enough time or energy or effort to make one. I'd be lucky enough just to finish this as a fic. This is like a bundle of illustrations for my fic in that AU, which even though I'd be more than thrilled to share but sadly it's not done yet.

The REAL reason Les Mis is a great book is because it has the duality of you being able to randomly open it to any page and find the most beautiful-soul-crushing-poetic-timeless-eye-opening sentence ever
but also Victor Hugo consciously chose to make every single character is the lamest most socially inept mess and awkward crazy dork you've ever seen and it's great.

Was rereading 3.4.1 again like a completely sane person and was wondering why Courfeyrac's description wasn't grouped together with Enjolras' and Combeferre's despite the 3 of them often being a trio. Then I noticed the full order:
Enjolras > Combeferre > Jehan > Feuilly > Courfeyrac > Bahorel > Bossuet > Joly > Grantaire
He is 5th in the order, the exact middle.
He is quite literally the center of the group.

since it's almost barricades days and i've seen new people joining our fandom, i would like to list u all some very nice adaptations i really like that u can watch (and that are better alternatives than the bbc adaptation) (and i included links!!!!!):
what to watch ?
- i feel like this is a classic, but the 2012 movie adaptation by tom hopper, obviously. while it's not the best adaptation, it is still really good (also i feel like it made a lot of us join the fandom in the first place)
- also pretty obvious but the west end musical by claude-michel schönberg and alain boublil (i'm pretty sure u can find decent bootleg on yt) + honorable mention for the 25th anniversary concert but i feel like u need to know a bit about the musical before seeing the concert
- a personal favourite, the 1982 french movie by robert hossein, it is three hours long tho, but it's worth it; the adaptation is really good, especially the portrayal of Les Amis (here's the yt link to the whole movie)
- shojo Cosette is also pretty decent, tho i've only watched the episodes with Les Amis (the barricades are heartbreaking just like we love)
- it's really obscure but the silent short film l'enfant sur la barricade (the child on the barricade) by Alice Guy. the sources diverge from whether it's an adaptation of les mis or an adaptation of a poem hugo wrote called "sur une barricade" and taking place during the commune of paris but the character could be inspired by gavroche
- Les Amis webserie, that u can find on yt, or here :
it's a web serie made by fans for fans and it's amazing
- All That's Left Of Us, another web serie made by and for fans. it's beautiful and absolutely heartbreaking. u can find it on youtube or here:
and on the overall anything that eli southern does about les mis is pretty amazing so i encourage u all to go check @thecandlesticksfromlesmis
(although i feel like u need to know a bit about the fandom before jumping right into the webseries)
- and obviously, The Brick, the original masterpiece that is Les Miserables by victor hugo; if u have the courage i promise that it's worth it
annnnd that's all ! at least for my favourite one, but there are a looooot of different adaptations for every taste i guess ! anyway have fun and take care of y'all during barricades days !
