    Summary

    Since the day Enjolras had shown up on Grantaire’s doorstep, desperate and clutching a noisy, wriggling lump to his chest inside of an oddly purple sweatshirt, Grantaire can honestly say his life has only improved. Because of the cat, of course.

    At any rate, it’s not as though he comes over that often, just when he’s having a bad day. Or a good day. Or a day that he’s been around too many people, or a day that he’s been around no one, or a day that he wants an excuse to stare at his uber-hot neighbor.

    All told, he usually stops by Enjolras’s apartment a perfectly respectable several times a week.

    Summary

    “Enjolras,” he says. “I’m dying. I want you to know that. You are killing me.”

    “Yes,” Enjolras replies drily. “So you tell me every week.”

    “It’s a death by a thousand cuts,” Grantaire whines through his hands. “But to answer your question, no, it’s not entirely beyond me to convincingly pretend to be in love with you.”

    (Les Amis hatch a scheme to get Enjolras permanent residency in France. Grantaire hopes and prays that his sanity is not amongst the collateral damage.)

    Summary

    “Wait, wait, pick a queen, R!” Joly shouted, “Double coronation!”

    Grantaire’s lips twisted as he smiled. One tooth angled out slightly from the others, it made his grin sharp.

    “Our mighty leader was born to be a queen of sorts, more Boudicca or Margaret of Anjou, but my point stands I think.” He said, and he turned to look at Enjolras.

    There was a beat of silence.

    “Grantaire,” Enjolras said, as if that covered everything.

    Summary

    Enjolras doesn’t have the easy affability of other captains, their casual friendliness. He has something else, some ineffable quality that causes people to follow him without question. It isn’t charm so much as...charisma? Incredible competence? Grantaire speaks twelve languages but he’s never been able to find a word for the intangible thing that makes Enjolras shine. He’s given up trying, content to simply gaze upon Enjolras, magnificent beyond language, brighter than any star he’s ever surveyed.

     

    In which Enjolras is a half-Vulcan starship captain crusading for intergalactic peace, Grantaire just wants to study alien linguistics and stay sober, and their diplomatic mission to a remote planet goes very awry. Or, the Star Trek AU that no one asked for.

    Summary

    “At least we got this far,” Stiles argued. “Could’ve been worse. For now, they know he’s taken by someone in the pack.”

    “Mm hm,” Lydia said, giving him a look. “You realize that you are now going to have to pretend to date Derek, right?”

    Stiles rolled his eyes. “Oh no, what a hardship. That sucks, boo hoo.” He motioned Derek emphatically. “He’s like, my best friend.”

    “Hey!” Scott insisted.

    “He’s like, my second best friend,” Stiles amended. “It’s fine, we’ll figure it out. Right?” He turned to grin at Derek, who was scowling at him.
