How to Keep a Political Alliance | an enjoltaire red, white, and royal blue au ↳ Grantaire is the son of the President of the United States, and he really doesn’t like the French King’s youngest son, Enjolras. Enjolras doesn’t like Grantaire that much either. When a small altercation between them ruins a wedding and gains media attention, they’re forced to feign friendship to keep the public opinion high and the Franco-American relationship intact.

chapter 8 - the bird in borrowed feathers

It was like looking at a big-budget movie set. The whole room was filled with ridiculous costumes and towering wigs, people teetering in their pointed, embroidered heels, and women surrounded by frills and silk who moved through the crowd with raucous laughter as they kept bumping into one another with their inconveniently wide skirts.

“There you are,” Enjolras said, sidling up to Grantaire. “It’s practically impossible to see anyone through all these skirts, isn’t it?”

Grantaire grinned, doing a sly double-take at Enjolras’ neat, red wine-coloured costume. Through the silk, Grantaire could see the slight contours of his biceps and his surprisingly toned thigh muscles under his breeches.

The light stockings gently caressed the curve of his calf and the sharp point of his ankle. It was horrendously outlandish as a costume, yet it was so typical of Enjolras to be able to make it look good.

The Vest is incredible and Eli looks so good I want to weep

The Vest

When I was little, before I knew Enjolras’ name, I referred to him as “that guy in the vest!” and now thanks to the incredible talent of @courfeywrecked, I get to be “that guy”! 

Claire spent 65 hours making this and most of that time was devoted to hand-sewing the trim and the buttons.

Please go check out Claire’s work on her instagram, you will be amazed at the detail and love she puts into her work!  –> @glamgarbagecos

Happy Pride! Although we can’t be together physically to celebrate this year, I hope you’ve all found ways to honor your identities and our queer ancestors - and may this dark night end soon.

Louder for the people in the back

Do you not consider Marius to be part of the Amis? Your tags confused me.

I don’t, because he’s not!  

Marius dwelt in solitude. Owing to his taste for remaining outside of everything, and through having been too much alarmed, he had not entered decidedly into the group presided over by Enjolras. They had remained good friends; they were ready to assist each other on occasion in every possible way; but nothing more. –3.5.3 (Hapgood translation) 

(disclaimer: I am strictly talking about the book here, different adaptations do very different things with Marius and his relationship with the Amis as a group)

The Amis de l’ABC isn’t just a chat group name,  or a general squad tag, it’s specifically a revolutionary group engaged in trying to overthrow the monarchy.  Marius is somewhat sympathetic to their goals, and he gets along with some of the members of the group personally–but he’s not part of the Amis.  I would think so much less of him if he was!  I mean, this is life and death stuff they’re involved in, risking their lives and their freedom,  doing intense planning and work with other groups, and he ducks out on meetings for four years?  And is satisfied with the new monarchy of 1830? He doesn’t even know  when Lamarque’s funeral and the planned uprising are coming along, and has to find out from Eponine?  After swearing oaths and promising everyone they can count on him through fire? How absolutely awful of him that would be!

(side note that this is why the Amis–not just Enjolras! –are angry and dismissive with Grantaire at the barricade. Grantaire is  part of the inner circle, he has  promised, and when the moment comes he’s screwing around and endangering everyone working for the cause he’s sworn himself to.  It is, as the ancient texts say, Super Bogus of him.) 

But he’s just a personal friend– and only really a close  friend of Courfeyrac’s , at that. He helps them out personally, sometimes, the way buddies do,  and that’s fine! He never promised anything else, and he’s got his own  things going on. There are other ways to be a good person than being a dedicated violent revolutionary, it doesn’t make him a bad person or a bad character. 

But it does make him Not An Ami. :P
