@secretmellowblog got me thinking again with their recent post about javert being a terrible liar!!

this made me think about the juxtaposition of javert and sister simplice, two people incapable of telling a lie. both of them end up breaking their lifetime honesty streak one time, and in each case, it's to save valjean.

first we have sister simplice:

Never to have lied, never to have said, for any interest whatever, even in indifference, any single thing which was not the truth, the sacred truth, was Sister Simplice’s distinctive trait; it was the accent of her virtue.

(and that's just a short excerpt; hugo continues on in this way for A While, as he is wont to do.)

then, the moment she tells her one and only lie (to javert himself, no less):

This was Sister Simplice, who had never told a lie in her life. Javert knew it, and held her in special veneration in consequence. “Sister,” said he, “are you alone in this room?” A terrible moment ensued, during which the poor portress felt as though she should faint. The sister raised her eyes and answered:— “Yes.”

she does this, of course, to save valjean from being re-arrested (he is hiding behind the door).

then we have javert:

Javert [...] raised his head with the intrepid serenity of the man who has never lied.

and his one lie:

He added with a strange expression, and as though he were exerting an effort in speaking in this manner: “I will wait for you here.”

again to save valjean! (from being arrested) (by himself)

i don't really have a point, but it's interesting. also makes me even happier they got the chance to team up in my fic (in chapter 4); they seem like they would get each other...

Never forget JVJ anchor necklace. I think post seine he should have a cross that hangs between his big ol' boobas and Javert should kiss it out of respect

Literally the Javert and Jean Valjean quote that's like The man who was made to move forward and the man who was made to submit

well have you considered that maybe the unstoppable force is in love with the immovable object
