    Summary

    Javert closes his eyes and throws himself off Pont-au-Change only to open his eyes in his room on the outskirts of M-sur-M, back in 1823. He quickly discovers that every death only resets his personal timeline to that precise point. It's not Hell, it turns out; and if it's not Hell then this is Purgatory, and that means there's a lesson here, somewhere.

    Yes. There is. But not the one he's looking for.

    Summary

    Valjean pulls Javert up out of dark waters.

    ""No," Valjean says, but Javert knows that he has planted the possibility – Valjean shoving aside the bedclothes and rucking up his nightshirt and the grim slap of flesh on flesh and those hard convict's eyes boring into the back of his neck, Valjean's breath on the back of his neck again, and –

    The rush of blood southward catches him almost by surprise. He hopes Valjean does not notice the change in his eyes, the startled swallow. He always hopes too much. To see where he stands Valjean need only glance at the bedclothes.

    This, Javert thinks, the thoughts leaden in his stomach. This, this, this is what becomes of you without the prop of your law. This is where your thoughts slink – vile and filthy, back to the gutter, this is the slimy rind that's left of you –"
