drew modern au corinthe girls!!!! they are in love forever. smooch. kiss. etc

i see them as like. dive bar waitresses in a modern au (because the corinthe food and drink is horrible, apparently) so i gave them cute little uniform shirts. i did not know that matelote is canonically a redhead!! grantaire describes her hair as "chromate-of-lead-coloured" which is as far as i can see a very very bright yellow-to-red.

les misérables 2012 has definitely committed many war crimes but it is redeemed by unintentionally being one of the gayest adaptations of all time like tom hooper cast the cuntiest twink enjolras the most soul crushing yearning grantaire the most pathetic gay javert but he intended NONE Of it

Les Trois couronnes du matelot, Raúl Ruiz, 1983

Matelot

This strange word is an affectionate name for british sailors. Whereas in English it was rather pronounced matlow. Because matelot means sailor in French. And our British sailors will do their best to avoid adopting a French name. 

Le tatouage du matelot - The tattooing of the sailor, by Constantin Jean Marie Prevost (1796–1865)

It is not to be confused with the English mate, which refers to an assistant, such as boatswain's mate or carpenter's mate. Matelot seems to be derived from mattennoot, the Middle Dutch word for bed mate. I will leave that without comment at this point....

Jim, Archie, and Oluwande Jimenez

Sleep on me, feel the rhythm in my chest, just breathe

I will stay so the lantern in your heart won't fade

The secrets you tell me I'll take to my grave

There's bones in my closet, but you hang stuff anyway

And if you have nightmares, we'll dance on the bed

I know that you love me, love me

Even when I lose my head

-Jon Bellion, Guillotine

The first nightmare occurs Olu's second night on the ship. He wakes to Jim shuddering in his arms, gasps heaving through their body without sound. His mind snaps to attention, seeking a way to soothe Jim, but he finds a strange but welcome sight.

Archie is already awake and turned around to face Jim. She knows what to do, it becomes instantly clear. She taps his hand, silently guiding it to hold Jim tight around the waist, then takes Jim’s face in her hands and presses their foreheads together. Though no words pass between them, Olu listens as Jim’s breathing evens out, falling in line with Archie’s.

When Jim murmurs, “Tell me you’re alive,” he doesn’t ask them any questions.

When Archie responds, voice tight, “We’re both here, mate,” he doesn’t request any of her answers.

Olu only says, “We’re not leaving you, Jim,” into the back of Jim’s neck, feeling them relax beneath him, and for this moment, at least, he at least gets the comfort of knowing that Jim is able to relax, to fucking breathe, when between the two of them.

-aletterinthenameofsanity, you are still alive when I look to the sky in the night

I know that this isn't the first fic in the series about them, but it is my favorite fic in the series so far! It covers Olu's POV on the gap btw Seasons 1 and 2 and the developing relationship between the three of them in the early parts of this 'verse. Absolutely gorgeous. I ship them so much and I definitely plan to make them each their own moodboards soon enough!
