Summary
“The first time Grantaire sees Enjolras, he thinks that he must be dreaming. The golden-haired boy is in the courtyard of Shanyi Academy’s lecture hall, practicing a set of moves Grantaire vaguely recognises as the Eighteen Li Water Punches. His movements are as fluid as that of other older Li clan disciples that Grantaire has seen before, but beneath the surface there seems also to be a power more akin to fire than water. The boy is practically glowing as he finishes the set, and the water lilies in the pond at the edge of the courtyard sway from the gust of wind that propels forward from his punch.”
In which Enjolras is a mythical creature, and so are some of the amis, and they seek every day to save other creatures, but Grantaire is mostly just interested in saving Enjolras. Wuxia AU.

Summary
And there was Grantaire: flagrantly Woman in the way that made Enjolras clench her teeth. She didn’t expect Grantaire to look the paragon of virtue, but here, she was obscene.

Summary
Grantaire’s foolish crush had never felt so painfully intense. As much as she loved Enjolras for her fire and passion, the distant, severe statue of a vengeful goddess, that was easy enough to bear. That figure was not so real and apparent, so touchable and vulnerable, but this Enjolras was.
aka a modern AU where Les Amis go on holiday and Grantaire freaks out (+ some of them are lesbians)

Summary
Enjolras doesn’t understand Grantaire. Out of all of them, she is the most incongruous. There are times when she seems almost resigned to playing the part she has been assigned, petticoats and girdles and pin curls, pretending at the ideal of a perfect little wife. How disappointed any man would be if he took those moments at face value.
She paints and quotes poetry that is too abstract and modern for Enjolras to get her head around, yet she fastidiously rejects the label bohemian and spurns the black turtleneck crowd that likes to gather in smoky bars. She instead chooses to slum it with their radical group of misfits, fiercely loyal even as she derides their efforts.
It all adds up to a confusing mess. The more Enjolras tries to understand it – her – the less sense it makes.A mid-century lesbians AU.

Summary
He assesses the situation — Grantaire looks a little shocked, a little scared, and a whole lot of confused, and Enjolras struggles to find something to say that won’t be too much, that won’t make Grantaire want to leave.
“You’re letting the draft in,” he settles for, and flashes him a small smile.
