I know Grantaire calling Enjolras "Apollo" is a fandom thing but I can't stop thinking about modern AU trans Enjolras, who hasn't decided on a new first name yet, panicking when asked and he just says "Apollo" without thinking. Grantaire is just so stunned and flattered that Enjolras named himself after something that he said.

my cool down doodle yesterday ended up becoming….a little more than just a doodle when I took the chance to experiment a little stylistically. Whoops?

anyhoo, this is a doodle from the mind of @goddammitjim, who wrote a codywan les mis actors au fic. The description of Cody watching Obi-Wan sing Bring Him Home (conveniently my favorite song) on opening night (ch 10) has been stuck in my mind since I read it, and I’ve wanted to doodle codywan again so….here we are!!

I hope you don’t mind that I played in your sandbox a little! I’ll link the fic here for anyone interested, it’s a really great one!!

so guys a little while ago i came up with a les mis artistic au that I think would be interesting for you to acknowledge! so basically the idea of it is this:

everything takes place in modern france. les amis + cosette + eponine (basically the youngsters mentioned in the second volume (maybe even montparnasse)) are studying in the académie des beaux-arts on two different faculties, visual arts and music. i am yet to figure out who studies what, but some things are already obvious to me, so I would like to share some of them with you

• first of all the dean of the faculty of visual arts is valjean, the dean of the one of music — javert. their approaches to what is art and how one should give a proper education on it are quite different — opposite, even, because where valjean strives for freedom in self-expression and his students’ own unique understanding, javert is equally devoted to precision (which is, for every performer who I have a misfortune to be myself, is as beneficial as it is painful, sometimes even destructive to the very purpose of performing music)

of course it would be silly to expect such a confrontation would not affect their students.

• so, very vaguely: enjolras, combeferre, courfeyrac (because i couldn’t force myself to separate the great trio of The leader, The guide and The centre™), jehan, marius and cosette are all in the orchestra.

- enjolras is a conductor, of course

- combeferre is the first violin. sometimes when enjolras by some miracle is not present at the rehearsal, he fulfills his duties — and, believe me, his tolerating attitude really is a blessing to the musicians

- courfeyrac is either a timpanist or a pianist-accompaniator (both options make perfect sense in my mind and I cannot decide)

- jehan is a harpist (feel free to make your own suggestions, but I tried to express his passion for middle ages, romantism and his poetical nature with this choice)

- marius is a violinist because I thought it would be hilarious for him to play soppy melodies whenever he’s pining on cosette

- cosette herself is a cellist. at first, i was going to make her an opera singer (soprano), then i was contemplating on her being a violinist as well, but then I thought — goddamn it, i love women who play cello, and it would reflect her character so well (which i of course am planning to develop a bit from what monsieur hugo provided us with), and I just don’t want to see her as something high-pitched! the solemn and a bit sorrowful, yet so noble and beautiful timbre of cello seems to suit her image in my mind.

• as for the artists, here we have OBVIOUSLY my man grantaire, eponine, joly + bossuet, feuilly and bahorel. most of them are painters, with few exceptions: for example, joly is a sculptor in my mind, and feuilly does decorative art (also I am sorry he is also a student here and joly is not a medic it is all only for the sake of the composition)

i don’t want to make this post too long so I shall continue in the next ones! i hope this idea is entertaining enough for you my fellow readers. also i think it is pretty obvious that i have little to no knowledge at all about visual arts so please be free to comment your own thoughts

(also i am new to the fandom (although I’ve been into les mis for quite some time now) and I would really appreciate any sort of communication) :)

I found a really good theatre AU codywan from a certain author and I loved it!

So I was thinking, can you help me find other codywan theatre AUs?

Thank you! <3

Hi,

Okay, I was so ready to recommend a WIP, The Truth That Once Was by @goddammitjim – An AU in which Obi-Wan and Cody are Broadway actors performing Les Misérables. Don't get me wrong, I'd still recommend it, it's really good so far, but I can't seem to find any other fics like this, so I'm starting to think that this is the one you're talking about?

And in that case I'd like to share this one with the crowd, maybe someone has some suggestions I'm not familiar with!

Other than that, however, there's

Rhapsody in Blue by kckenobi (@kckenobi) - another modern AU in which Obi-Wan and Cody are still performers (but in an Orchestra). You might like this one if you enjoyed the above-mentioned fic, there are some similarities in that they're all colleagues and there're plenty of secrets and flashbacks to Obi-Wan's past – admittedly, it's less focused on Cody, but I don't think it's that big a stretch and it's a great read And there's this huge mystery thrown in there too (which really keeps you on the edge of your seat despite knowing who the bad guys are).

[Clears throat] Um. Mountie AU, anyone?

Twelve men broke loose in '73 From Milhaven Maximum Security Twelve pictures lined up across the front page Seems the Mounties had a summertime war to wage

(below the cut: more Hip lyrics I associate with this AU)

From Wheat Kings:

Twenty years for nothing, well, that's nothing new Besides, no one's interested in something you didn't do

+

Late breaking story on the CBC A nation whispers, "We always knew that he'd go free" They add, "You can't be fond of living in the past, 'Cause if you are, then there's no way that you're gonna last."

From Bobcaygeon:

That night in Toronto With its checkerboard floors Riding on horseback And keeping order restored

+

In the middle of that riot Couldn't get you off my mind So I'm at your house this morning Just a little after nine 'Cause it was in Bobcaygeon, where I saw the constellations Reveal themselves one star at a time

I love you canon era fanon Les Mis, I love you period accurate depictions of the characters, I love you Barricade Day fix it fics, I love you fans who take the time to learn about the time period and manage to make work that is appealing and relatable to a modern audience while not sacrificing the context in which these characters were originally meant to exist, I love you

Nothing is the man with a heart

[polyjoly]

I am passionate about a les mis star trek AU where Grantaire takes on the role of Q (except of course he goes by R) he is this inter-dimensional being who, for some reason, is just obsessed with Captain Enjolras. He doesn't contribute anything of worth to the ship, quite the opposite to be honest. He just keeps randomly showing up and causing problems. He has befriended a lot of the crew and they have all just kind of gotten used to him at this point.
