night time gatherings in Jehan’s roof garden, city lights and the smell of flowers
Bossuet’s collection of the most ridiculously patterned swimming trunks (from neon colours to flamingos to surfing dinosaurs)
the explosion of freckles in Feuilly’s face after the first really sunny day
Grantaire using pencils to tie up his hair
Joly carrying around at least three bottles of sunscreen after Enjolras
turns up with his skin matching the colour of his jacket (It’s red.
Like. Lobster red.)
Courfeyrac and The Great Seduce Combeferre Plan Of 2K16 (which literally consists of a never ending array of the shortest hot pants imaginable)
Combeferre and The Great Seduce Courfeyrac Plan Of 2K16 (including tight, short sleeved button-ups because tattoos and also biceps)
Bahorel arranging both of said plans
Musichetta barefoot with long swinging maxi skirts
Cosette teaching Gavroche how to make flower crowns and everyone getting into a competition to get him to give them the first one
Éponine trying not to get caught smiling fondly at the slightly crooked flower crown on her head but refusing to take it off
Montparnasse’s choked off sobs in the distance when Marius shows up in socks and sandals
Why isn’t Jean Valjean and his semi-delinquent adopted teenage son Montparnasse a Thing in fandom? Victor Hugo practically gave us that AU trope option on a platter.
Cosette’s pure aura of goodness offends Montparnasse to the highest level. He bakes cookies with her. Cookies!
On the other hand, they /would/ be the most well-dressed siblings in Paris.
(trying to imagine Montparnasse telling Valjean, very generously and sincerely, that he can kill Marius if Valjean wants. It would be quick and nobody would have to know)
He’s just trying to help! Jean Valjean told him he should use his talents for good! Helping family is a good use for murder talents, right?
Man, Montparnasse would be so bitchy while Cosette was going through her brief “how does fashion even work” phase. (He had one too and it was SO MUCH WORSE. When he first decided he wanted to be fancy he just threw together a random assortment of the most expensive things he could find/steal and wore them all at once without any regard to matching or taste. It was bad.)
(Sometimes he brings home jewelry or sashes or other smallish bits of lady’s fashion leaves them on Cosette’s bed, like a cat leaving behind dead mice.)
