@lecomtedelafere God tho, them wasting no time at all in establishing valjean’s possible sexual interest in fantine at the factory, wasting no time at all in implying that the reason he fired her is because he was furious that she denied him access that he believed she was giving others. fantine’s scenes in the factory are just “at the end of the day” but with valjean in the place of the foreman and with no one in the place of valjean. only a handful of people care about fantine as a person in bbc and all of them are women and only one or two of them seem to actually try to help, and even then it’s in scenes that are each only a handful of seconds long. bbc treated the women of les mis far, far worse than the book did and i can only imagine how it treats constance and queen anne and milady de winter. cripes.

Dead doesn't necessarily mean gone. In the ugly morning hours of June 7th, Javert falls over the bridge's edge, and Fantine's ghost pulls him out of the river. Now they'll just have to live with the skeletons in their collective closets - for a given value of “live”, anyway.

I want a discworld fan works week or something in honour of Terry

chapter sixteen of Climbing to the Light is up!
or: the one where I fudge writing Quidditch, and shamelessly ship Marius’ mother with an original female character to boot.
"He hadn't meant to pull the trigger." Isn't that how these things were always supposed to go?
But he had meant to pull the trigger. Because if he hadn't, he would have misfired. And he couldn't afford to misfire.
He'd tried to do all he could to save Courfeyrac. He and Combeferre had worked like fiends. But it had not been enough; the virus had spread, and Courfeyrac was no longer inside this shell of a creature, and there was only a split second between the creature stirring from the sickbed and the shot's report.
(Joly had always had fast reflexes. It was one of the only reasons he was still alive.)
He dropped the rifle. Bahorel picked it up, and Lesgle took his hand and murmured quiet comforting nothings in his ear, and Combeferre stepped back stricken to turn to Enjolras and could I borrow that flask a minute Grantaire.
Joly knelt next to the corpse and, with trembling gloved fingers, closed its eyes.
"I'm so sorry."
