#Cosette <3

[coolrobotsupremacist]

Over the course of the novel Cosette represents the two groups that are at most risk in society: women and children and the whole through line of the story hangs on saving her and delivering her to a peaceful and happy life. People make jokes “all this for a loaf of bread” but that line in Alladin was making a point about the expense of poverty and a similar point is being made here; all this, all these lives, all these unhappy endings, for one small spark of light. Honestly one of the few times I will accept “think of the women and children” as an argument because a lot of the book is written around it and, yeah, think about the vulnerable, imagine if it didn’t require a 30year+ saga of love, loss and sacrifice to save one small girl from a society that should defend her by default. You go, Mr Hugo, excellent call to action.

As newly-qualified solicitor Marius Pontmercy travels to Romania to help a Count with his purchase of a home, his fiancée Cosette Fauchelevent heads over to Cette with their friends to prepare for their wedding. However, when Marius’ host begins to reveal sinister secrets, the couple and their friends must work together to save themselves and avenge those they have lost. Or; A Dracula AU, where Marius is Jonathan Harker and Cosette is Mina Murray.

A gift fic (with some doodles!) for @feathraly ((I really hope this is the right tumblr account...)) for the Discorinthe discord anniversary exchange! Their lovely lovely prompt WRT Marisette being a gothic couple, Jehan giving a bit of gothic horror as a treat, and some supernatural crossovers naturally lent themselves to me writing a Dracula AU with Marisette of course being the quintessential gothic power couple: The Harkers!

I hope feathraly enjoyed this fic!! <3 and if anyone else likes vampires, angst, and the Power of Friendship, this fic will probably be up your alley too! But please mind the tags!

P.S. No prior knowledge of Dracula is needed to read this fic! But if you are already familiar with Dracula, there is a whole bunch of new content in there too 👀
