How like the nettle are so many men by howbadcanmyficsbe
Fandoms: Les Misérables - All Media Types, Les Misérables - Victor Hugo

Summary
To feel an ache in his chest was hardly unfamiliar. In the months following his brawl with the Seine, Javert was no stranger to untraceable pains; his broken ribs and water-logged lungs had seen to it that his recovery was one long and agonizing. Though, it was not any more agonizing than the mental anguish, the spiritual torment of waking almost every day to Jean Valjean at his bedside.
Yet, when Javert felt a pain rise in his breast, he thought it most odd.

Summary
He is not wet. That is his first realization upon waking. His throat is raw and his muscles ache. When he sits, a headache washes over him and fatigue reigns. The room is dark, though a faint light shines through an open door opposite him. It’s merely cracked and the orange light flickers and dances, promising fire.
There are only two possibilities through that door: Hell or Jean Valjean; Javert isn’t certain there’s a difference.

Summary
”Cosette’s flight was cancelled because of the storm,” Valjean said. “She’s going back to school soon, so she needs to pack, and the trains are booked, and they can’t rent a car, and they don’t have money for a hotel, and I need her safe and home. So I’m going to get her.”
”You’re going to drive six hours in a blizzard on your own to then drive six hours back in a blizzard?” Javert said. “Not a chance.”
“My daughter needs me,” Valjean said, scraping at the ice crusted on the windshield. “I’m going.”
“I know that. I mean that I’m coming with you.”

Charity by jumponvaljean (whoatherejavert) for brodinsons (aeon_entwined)
Fandoms: Les Misérables - All Media Types, Les Misérables (2012)
06 May 2013
Tags
Summary
Prompted by brodinsons on tumblr: Valjean pins Javert to the nearest convenient wall & goes down on him. Could be the first time they've done this particular activity. Javert is overwhelmed. Valjean soothes him following his orgasm. (Probably hints of aftercare in there too.)
Brain decided: Madeleine era for some added subbiness. Javert never knows what to do with his hands. Angsty Valjean thoughts.

Summary
"Javert's hands are really large, Valjean's probably really strong... I just want one of them giving the other a backrub. Shameless fluff, smut optional (but encouraged)."
Did not turn into smut, not exactly shameless fluff, and the backrubs are a long time in coming, but still.
Javert and Valjean through the years, sore muscles, and awkward touching.

Summary
Valjean’s body trembles. “Javert,” he whispers, hollowly. This is too vivid to be a dream. Or is it? He is no longer a trustworthy judge of what is real and what is not.
“So you remember. No more escapes for you now, Jean Valjean.”

Summary
There is something very tender in the way that Cosette thinks of Javert. He is an oddity, much like many other things in her life, and she appreciates him - the odd, stoic inspector who is so distant, and so kind.

Summary
That night on the parapet, Valjean forces Javert to live. Some time later, Javert finds himself returning the favor.
"Do you think," Javert said slowly, in a tone that perhaps meant to mock but trembled with another emotion entirely, "that once you have saved a life, you must also save that man's soul?"
"I know nothing of saving souls," Valjean said. "My soul was bought for God, not saved. But it is my belief that you are better than the fate to which you have consigned yourself."

Summary
Surely Valjean knew. Yet he has been calm and self-assured through it all, never faltering, never flinching—and even as Javert leaned forward to kiss him, he watched him with that assured benevolence and did not move away.
And now he gasps at an accidental brush of fingers, and when Javert goes to chide him, finds that he is blushing. "Now you've done it, Javert," he says to himself under his breath. "That's just the thing I need—to make a fool of us both."
