Summary
Enjolras and friends are a loose and barely successful artist collective. Grantaire had left, and Grantaire returns.
or
Enjolras, for his prolific work on sexual companionship, is and was and will forever be alone. Singular. He’s known this from a young age, the attempt of yearning doesn’t suit him. He gets distracted and forgets to pine, and can as easily go without than go with. Making space for others in between his work is nearly impossible. Sure, another writer could suffice, but then who would live in the moment for them, feel the love songs not just record that they existed? The closest he had had to be known, to a life that went along together with another, was a half hearted attempt by an alcoholic songwriter an election, a revolution, a lifetime ago.

Summary
Grantaire is sixteen and takes a bus into the city during nights he can’t sleep to find older men who pretend to believe him when he says he’s nineteen and fuck him. Enjolras is a lawyer masquerading as an activist, or maybe it’s the other way around. They meet at the beginning of summer.

Summary
A story about two people who hurt when they're put together, but hurt more when they’re apart and learning to be patient, whatever that means. or Enjolras and R keep sleeping with each other then fucking it all up again.
Everything feels far away from him, and so does everyone. He’s created this bridge of emotions over the summer he can’t explain and whoever is waiting at either side cannot rescue him, only wait patiently for him to make a move. He means to say this. He means to say something like this. He means to express to Grantaire that this last year has been terrible and confusing and wonderful, but this summer of radio silence has been the worst and he misses him.
Instead, he opens his mouth, face blotched red with anger and says, “I don’t know why you find me so intolerable, but it's affecting everyone else so can you either work on it, or let me know so I can finally give up on this charade of niceties completely”.
Grantaire barks out a shock of laughter.

Summary
“So it wasn’t a long story,” Dan says flatly, to the back of Phil’s head. “You just snooped in your new email and thought crashing a holiday party you weren’t actually invited to would be fun.”
Phil shrugs. “I guess you could say that. Booth?”
“Yeah,” Dan says. “You’re psychotic.”

Dan and Phil meet at a holiday work party and u-haul it in their own special codependent way.

Summary
Men like Enjolras belonged in books: those of ancient history, once the uglier facets of reality had been dulled by a forgiving editorial hand, or in poetry; in myths and legends that were by design exemplary, idealised projections, their heroes far too perfect to be wrought of anything but paper and ink.
If Cupid had struck Grantaire with an arrow of gold, he had surely struck Enjolras with an arrow of lead.

Summary
When Enjolras consented Grantaire to express her affection in public, she was yet unaware of what that entailed. They still weren't dating—Enjolras was unflinching on that—but even she couldn't deny that they experienced a shared haze in close proximity that refused to dissipate until their impulses were satisfied. It seemed more prudent, actually, to gratify themselves in the moment than to wait until they were alone. There was nothing saying they couldn't keep it appropriate if they brought a little more "benefits" to the "friends-with" arrangement.
"I guess I'm wondering how you can be so...saucy in public, and then so shy when we're alone."

Established friends with bennies, Enjolras agrees to a little PDA because life is short and ladies are horny.

Summary
The shoes that did appear were scuffed, and soon followed by a pair of quickly descending legs. His neighbor moved with great haste, as was the source of the loud noises. The person’s face soon followed, though it was not facing Enjolras in any form of greeting and therefore alleviated his need to make polite conversation. Enjolras would have gladly let the man pass without word had the recognizable profile not startled sound from him.
“Grantaire?” He said, surprise perhaps making his voice too loud for the small space. It caught him in his quick descent, causing his foot to slip and nearly send himself to the bottom much faster than intended. Grantaire’s confusion was evident as he righted himself.
“Apollo?” He responded, removing his cap as if Enjolras were a schoolmaster likely to chastise him for it. His mood soured ever so slightly at the moniker. “Whatever has brought you here?”
Enjolras is perfectly content in his isolation outside of Amis meetings, but his peace is disrupted when he discovers that Grantaire lives only a floor above him.

Summary
Enjolras had made herself into a toy. A perfect ponytail, a respectable heel, a slight curl to her bangs. A closet of pencil skirts and ironed blouses. She was exact. She was plastic. Other girls were real.
