    Summary

    “You'd think they'd be more into living green, what with all art being just a recycled sludge of ideas from all who came before them.”
    “Originality is the myth of capitalism,” Enjolras said, avoiding the loose cobbles of the plaza and the sludge that lay therein. “Where are we going?”
    “Museum,” Grantaire said.

    Temporarily moving abroad certainly widens all horizons.

    Feat. an abundance of promenades, unsafe painting practices, subtle but lovingly placed mentions of tattoos, arguments over Italian pastry, debates over French cooking, enough European references to satisfy my heart, harmless but copious flirting, and maybe one cat.

    Summary

         Other people escape to faraway Greek islands because of boys. Enjolras makes his escape because of the 1979 election result.

        (“It is also because of a boy though,” says Courfeyrac. “I mean, it’s actually mostly because of a boy.”

         Combeferre elbows him pointedly. “You’re supposed to be bolstering,” he hisses, and then pastes on an obliging smile for Enjolras. “How could the British people do this to us?” he demands melodramatically, and takes advantage of Enjolras’s distracted rant about how it wasn’t the fault of the people; no one’s offering a good option; they’ve been completely let down by the major parties! to pry the empty ice-cream tub out of his cold, heartbroken hands.)

    Summary

    It all begins when Enjolras’s power goes out in the middle of the night.
    Or, well, that’s not exactly true. It actually begins five years earlier, but that’s a very long story and Enjolras, quite frankly, does not have time to start from the beginning.
    And so, for the sake of convenience, it begins when Enjolras’s power goes out while he’s in the middle of writing an editorial, taking the wifi and the very last shreds of Enjolras’s patience with it.
    Enjolras takes a deep breath, lets it out slowly, and says, very quietly, “Fuck!”

    In which Enjolras gets the flu, Combeferre is in Morocco, and Grantaire is trying his best.

    Summary

    The sensation of passing out is not unfamiliar to Mike Ross.

    Ever since he was a kid, he had a tendency to do things too fast, pushing himself to the point of exhaustion without realising it, and what with being such a skinny, scrawny little thing who never really ate enough, his body had never really learnt to cope.

    He’d been scared the first few times, confused why he suddenly felt so dizzy and nauseous all the time, why sometimes when he’d stand up too quickly or run too fast in gym lessons the room would suddenly be swaying uncertainly, vision greying out before he’d wake up on the floor.

    But he’d gotten used to it.

    Summary

    “It doesn’t make any sense, you— you don’t like me like that.”

    Langdon laughs, thinking that this is just cruel to him, and Mel looks confused by it.

    “Mel, this is a little unfair,” He sighs. “Who wouldn’t like you?”

     

    or, where Langdon and Mel are just too blind to understand each other.
