Getting in touch with my inner 14-year-old

[elspethdixon]

Taking a page from melannen's book, Les Miserables crossovers I wish existed:

Les Miserables/Hetalia: The Enjolras/Marianne Bonnefoy PWP where Enjolras's mistress is indeed France. Nyotalia!France. I don't usually read PWP and am not even in Hetalia fandom, but I still strongly feel that this needs to exist.

Les Miserables/Benjamin January books: You'd only have to fudge the January books' timeline by about 5 years in order to have him still in Paris in 1831. January saves Valjean from dying, so that he's able to be a grandfather to Cosette & Marius's kids! He saves everybody else from dying, too! January takes Joly under his wing at the college of surgeons! Enjolras becomes an abolitionist as well as a republican! Ayasha employs Eponine as an aid in her dressmaker's shop so that she doesn't have to resort to the streets, and everyone lives happily ever after! (Um, well, until the cholera comes)

Les Miserables/Dragon Age, take 1: For reasons that do not need explaining at this juncture, Les Amis are magically transported to Kirkwall instead of dying. Enjolras + Justice = love at first sight, followed by a night of blue, glowy, passionate-about-championing-the-underdog sex. Afterwards, a weirded out Anders regains control of his body and flees to the Hanged Man, where he runs into the rest of Les Amis (Joly: "I've been wanting to talk to you, M. Anders. M. Varric here says that you're a doctor..."). He and Grantaire drown their Enjolras related sorrows together ("Justice took over my body and had sex with some guy! So disturbing!" "Some guy had sex with Enjolras and it wasn't me! So unfair!").

Les Miserables/Dragon Age, take 2: Paris is Kirkwall, and instead of Anders being possessed by the spirit of Justice, either a) Enjolras is, championing the cause of the elves, and it ends much better for all involved than Anders's storyline does, or b) Javert is, and it goes about as well as you'd expect (i.e. very, very badly indeed).

Les Miserables/Dragon Age, take 3: Templar!Javert pursues escaped mage!Valjean.

There is a boy!Hetalia!France/Enjolras crossover on the AO3, if you haven't seen it! It is not a pwp, though, it's kind of deeply tragic (like Enjolras/Patria generally is...)

[elspethdixon]

Gen and male!France are good too, as long as Enjolras isn't aromantic - since the whole point would be to take the "France is his mistress" and make it literal. Girl!Hetalia!France just seemed to fit better with the way France is usually conceptualized historically.

[melannen]

Heh. Yeah, France is usually anthropomorphized as Marianne. Unfortunately, if you take Marianne and genderswap the name, you end up with, uh, Marius... (I'm still waiting for somebody to write that one...)

Oh thank god I'm not the only one who showed up only to be deeply disconcerted by the lack of Enjolras/France. How were you not already on this, I beseech the fandom at large. I don't even like Hetalia.
