Anonymous asked: So I stumbled on things we lost in the fire and by Briseis do you mean like... The Illiad Briseis? Cuz that is all I can think of?

Yes I do!  It’s a very ridiculous reference to the fact that Enjolras and Grantaire are compared to Achilles and Patroclus a couple times in the Brick, because…um, I’m a Latin student from a house full of English/Classics people and that does stuff to ya.  

You get…something!  I dunno what, limitations of the internet, but like hit me up and I’ll write you a ficlet or something.  I’ll tell you what you definitely do get, though, and that’s a fucking high five for joining me in my nerdiness.

Also I hope the fact that you came and hit me up with this message means you liked the fic.

I should have done work today.

Instead I wrote about the Angry Wild Street Wife.

Ah, yes, there is more.  Filler chapter is filler.  Next chapter will have the Angry Street Wife.  And an option on Avatar State shenanigans.

Reblog even though it’s now, like, very much nighttime again.  WHATEVER.

So apparently I’m kinda-sorta writing an Avatar AU of Les Miserables.

By which I mean: Grantaire the Earth Kingdom Avatar is kinda-sorta on the run from the Fire Nation, and Enjolras the Crown Prince of the Fire Nation is kinda-sorta on the lam looking for the Avatar to back him up against the Fire Lord’s power-craze.  This is where I’m at in my life.

If you are at all interested in that, please come talk to me about it and I’ll headcanon some stuff.  Plot is time-consuming.
