Summary
“Ughhhh,” said Ben a few minutes later. “Ugh, it’s so sappy and, and cliched and she’s gonna think I’m joking—“
Apparently, they could stop pretending this wasn’t about Beatrice. Balthazar appreciated that. “Maybe tell her you’re not, then.”
Ben’s eyebrows knit together. “Like, in the lyrics themselves? Or some sort of fine print disclaimer beforehand that you hold up on a notecard while playing an intro on the kazoo?”
“In the lyrics,” said Balthazar. He strummed a C chord, then a G. E minor. A minor. “When you’re writing a song for someone, probably helps to get specific. It’ll mean more to them, y’know?” He tried for F minor 7. It didn’t sound right. “If you stay vague and mysterious, they might not know it’s about them. In, like, a you-and-them sense.” He rearranged his fingers on the frets, pressed harder. “Or they kind of—have the option of pretending they don’t know.”
(Or: two times Balthazar Jones helped his friends express their feelings via song, and one time he did not.)

Summary
“You could—you could do a review of this place, though,” says Jack, all sudden boundless enthusiasm. “Just a little write-up about this hip new establishment, Burnt-Out Remains of A Warehouse Where We Found A Tin of Beans. Waiting list’s a mile long, y’know.” Jack grins. “People just—“
“No,” says Eugene, trying not to smile. “No, for the love of god—“
“People just dying to get in,” says Jack as Eugene groans.
(Set before season 1. En route to Abel Township, Eugene bickers, jokes, pines, deals very poorly with his feelings, and pens the very first restaurant review of the zombie apocalypse.)

Amy had this thing where she did stuff that normally would’ve annoyed the hell out of Rosa, except it didn’t annoy Rosa at all. Which was confusing. Also, annoying.

Summary
“We need you to be married,” Lamarque says.
“Pretend to be married,” Fantine clarifies. “Or pretend to be boyfriends, that’s fine too.”
“It’s the living together that’s important.”
Grantaire swallows. “I beg your pardon?”
---
Or: the one where Enjolras and Grantaire are spies sent to a small village in the south of France to be undercover boyfriends.

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?"
