...no, nobody is posting Les Mis fic on AO3 in French, that would just be silly.
But there is fic in English with dialogue in French. *sobs*
Javert's obsession with Valjean kind of waxes and wanes in the Brick, I think--there are points where I definitely think he's obsessed, and other points where not so much--but mainly, in the Brick he has an actual career that is not 100% centered around Finding Valjean, which is easy to forget in the musical.
ALSO CASEFIC CASEFIC ILU.
Hey, carmarthen, would you feel terribly betrayed if I had Javert raised in the same Genua brothel where Vetinari was raised? I know it's just fanon but! Javert and Vetinari raised in the same brothel! And nobody ever seems to write I-am-from-the-gutter-too Vetinari even though it's more canon than any other backstory we've got for him. Probably because he doesn't shout at people about it.
Not at all, heh.
I ALSO NEED MORE WAISTCOATS IN MY LIFE. Since I have more or less quit the SCA with extreme prejudice, perhaps I should use some of that awesome Italian silk to make 19th century waistcoats....
