Fanfic

Some Javert/Jean Valjean, mostly Les Amis with Enjolras/Marius - but then, this is pretty much all the fic that is out there of this pairing, so you won't have to fear any future spams about them :(

Salvation by Ange_de_la_Mort
When Javert wishes to be punished for the crime of mistaking Monsieur Madeleine for Jean Valjean, he expects to be dismissed. Not to be bend over Madeleine’s desk to rememember how it was to be punished in Toulon.
ALL MY JAVERT FEELS TO THIS FIC. Yes, it's hot, but it's also exactly how I pictured their dynamic and Javert's mind and all the fucked-up-ness.

Cut from whole cloth by Tansy (StripySock)
Javert is tormented by Madeleine who unknowingly tempts him, and discovers a grey area of the law.
Javert is secretly obsessing over Jean Valjean's way too tight pants, especially in the croth-area. This sounds like a funny fic, but it's actually really fucking good. Javert's thoughts, his repression, everything is so spot-on and the UST is so thick you can cut it with a knife. JAVERT FEELS.

Heart of the Revolution by MeMeMe
Enjolras is terrible at self care. Les Amis take turns looking after him.
Lots of stubborn, unreasonable Enjolras and caretaking by his friends. Characters not admitting/realising that they're sick is one of my most favourite tropes in the history of ever and this fic deals with it in a lovely way.

Enjolras/Marius: in which the best you ever had was just a memory
Modern day AU/Rebirth AU, depending on how you want to read it. I love the premise of this, even though it's pretty short. Why isn't there more?

Ink and Candlelight by endymionic
“I can’t sleep,” he announces, to Enjolras’ faint amusement. “Will you do me a favour?”
A really lovely setting and lots, lots of UST between Marius and Enjolras. *flails*

In Love by Sandrine Shaw (Sandrine)
Love makes Marius a poor poet, a bad revolutionary, and an even worse observer.
Unrequited love and jealousy on Enjolras' part. Marius is ... well, Marius.

all the ground beneath you by usingmyoxygen
when you die it is partly for france and partly because you can no longer hold yourself together.
mostly-unrequited enjolras/marius.
Another short piece about Enjolras having unrequited feelings for Marius.

Awareness by Sandrine Shaw (Sandrine)
Marius isn't drunk. Nor is he blind. He can see; and all he sees is Enjolras.
Yes, unrequited love seems to be a popular theme for Marius/Enjolras. I love it, and I love this short, but wonderful ficlet.


Fanvids

Les Amis de l'ABC - Some Nights
I love this one - the song is so fitting and captures the fighting spirit of the Barricade Boys.

Les Misérables epic video - Serenata Immortale
Starts out slow, but then gets really epic. Gives me a lot of chills each time.

Downfall — Les Misérables
A very quiet video, sad and beautiful.

Die Young
Yes, that's Ke$ha's Die Young, but a slightly less flashy version and it's actually really damn beautiful and fitting and sad. Warning: the song is geo-blocked (fuck you, GEMA).
