Summary
In a way, it was almost a relief to see that nothing had changed since school. Seasons came and went but Grantaire was still Grantaire: a bundle of too-tight nerves and awkward elbows, scratchy throat, furtive gaze bouncing everywhere it shouldn’t. Still nursing a fascination with the most dangerous-looking female in the area. A puppy dog panting after a wolf.
In 1957, female cartoonist Grantaire meets some interesting new people, joins a secret society, and attracts the notice of a woman named Enjolras. A 1950’s lesbian Amis AU.

World Ain't Ready Coda Three: Grantaire, Eponine, and Gavroche by idiopathicsmile

Summary
Even two months after that nightmare night when Eponine called to say that her house was burning down, even after Enjolras’s parents intervened with surgical precision, even with Eponine and Gavroche placed safe in a foster family who by all accounts does not suck, Grantaire still feels a moment of crawling dread in the pit of his stomach when Eponine calls unexpectedly.
“What’s up?” he manages with half his brain, as the other half tamps down the existential terror.
“You sound breathless,” says Eponine. “Did you bolt across the room hoping it’d be your high school sweetheart?”
“No, dude, I was just, like, pining for your absence.” Grantaire is too relieved to be even a little bothered. An Eponine giving him shit is an Eponine who is not in immediate crisis.

Summary
The Rivera Court in the Detroit Institute of Arts is bigger than Grantaire remembers, which is weird, actually. The last time he saw it, he was a tiny middle schooler, so if anything, it should feel smaller now. Of course, that would only work if Grantaire had gotten taller since eighth grade, and he pretty much hasn’t, but still. Looking up at the murals for the second time, he’s not sure he has the right to feel this awed.

“It’s the living together that’s important.”

Summary
The Barricades Rise tour starts in Ft. Lauderdale on one of those gorgeously mild days that only coastal Florida can produce. The sun is bright but the wind off the Atlantic is fresh and cooling. It’s not too humid, not too hot, especially as Grantaire takes the stage in the early evening. The sun is setting, wrapping the fairgrounds and the crowd in warm golden light. It’s damn near perfect.
It’s also one of the worst days of Grantaire’s entire life.
Probably the worst.

His eyes were dark and unreadable: there was only a faint ring of blue around the pupils. He stared at Steve down the gun barrel and muttered: "Are you really my friend?"
