    Summary

    “What am I supposed to do?”

    Grantaire bites his lip. “I mean… nothing? Like, we do nothing. We just nurture these elementary-school type crushes until the day we die and maybe we leave a love letter in our death and that's it, probably. We just don't do anything. There's nothing to do about it.”

    Eponine seems unfulfilled by the way her eyes narrow at the ceiling. “I do not accept that.”

    // (Cosette and Enjolras are siblings, Eponine and Grantaire are each others wingmen, Marius is slowly realizing he's the only straight person in the room, nobody is cool, calm, or collected, and you should always steal pick-up lines from porn.)

    Summary

    As a kid, it had been more of a germaphobe thing, what with the frequent washing up and the hesitance to shake hands; he hadn't quite turned into the embodiment of WebMD yet, always spouting the worst case scenarios when confronted with even the least consequential of symptoms. Then, the ringing in his ear started.

    Summary

    Local Jersey dockside lad Grantaire has made a life for himself off of his self discipline. He boxes. He competes in the local Lindy Hop circuit with his next door neighbor Eponine. His whole, comfortable life of fighting, dancing, drinking, lunch counters, and taking men into back alleyways after his performances gets thrown for a loop when a group of mostly Princeton students show up at a local bar and plot to change the direction of the country. He considers it his duty to disrupt their meetings with his smart mouth, and over the months that follow, he relishes in the frustration he wrings out of the Princeton boy leading the way. Will a bet on the boxing match between the Brown Bomber and Rocky Marciano change the course of their relationship? And more importantly, in the time of McCarthyism, is there also time for... love?

    Summary

    For as long as Grantaire had known Enjolras, he never saw the other as a very… comforting... person. He was tactile and affectionate, he loved his friends dearly and he was always supportive of everything they did. (Grantaire had stopped being surprised when Enjolras would randomly show up to his galleries) But the cynic wouldn’t consider the leader to be the type to coddle and hold hands with someone if they were upset. That usually fell onto Courfeyrac, the center often taking the distressed by the hand and guiding them away while Enjolras continued the meeting.

    Courfeyrac’s eyes widened in understanding before his face split into a sudden, massive grin.

    “Oh my god..” He said, crouching in his chair with his hands on the back of it, peering over at Grantaire like an animal ready to pounce. “You’ve never had a Ride with Enjolras before have you.”

    It was worded as a question, though the friends knew it was anything but. Grantaire could hear the capitalized R, and it only made him more curious.

    “A.. a ride?”

    “No, dude, a Ride.”
