    Summary

    Pete turns twenty-one on a Thursday. He's off-planet by Saturday afternoon.

    He takes a bag of old, sturdy clothes he'd carefully bought from the second hand stores near the port, a brand new datachip registered to as different a name as he had been able to convince the banking bot to accept and the expensive real paper notebook and ink pen his grandmother had given him for his birthday.

    Peter Lewis Kingston Wentz III vanishes on his way to class and Pete Lewis signs up as crew on the first interstellar trip that will take him.

    Summary

    In the almost four years that Enjolras had known his friends, he always managed to avoid ice skating with them. This was very purposeful. It had to be. After all, they lived in the Northeast, so plenty of opportunities arose for him to go ice skating. He just never took advantage of them. Because Enjolras had a secret. A dark, terrible secret.

    Given how nosy and internet savvy his friends were, it was kind of a miracle that only Combeferre and Courfeyrac knew about his past.

    But it was time.

    (Or the Amis go ice-skating and find out a surprising truth about Enjolras.)

    Summary

    "You lighten the most somber of moods, R, you always have," says Joly. "You ought to charge a fee for your company, although your poor penniless friends will take it very ill if you do. Are you certain you won't come to supper?"

    Summary

    “We’re just having a bit of fun, man,” Thierry says.

    “Are you?” Enjolras says, his voice admirably controlled, his lips pursed in anger.

    “Actually, I think they were about to beat me up,” Grantaire blurts out, feeling inexplicably brave.

     

    (Enjolras is the terror of the school, and Grantaire is the new kid he takes under his protection)

    Summary

    The trouble with approaching your relationship the same way you approached your at-times contentious friendship is that apparently, no one realizes you’re actually dating. Or else Enjolras and Grantaire just have the absolute most oblivious of friends.

    Or both.
