    Summary

    Curse him. Curse his name and this supposed gift he’d given of life. Even Javert’s final thought, submerged willfully in the cold waters of the Seine, was littered with the remnants of Jean Valjean. Let him be free. Let the water wash away the curse inflicted on his soul. Let him die now, too tormented to wait in agony for a natural death, even if it meant the remainder of his soul would go to Lucifer’s domain. Let his eternal life be one of misery, as he deserved. Perhaps Valjean would meet him there, but Javert did not think it so.

    Rescued from the Seine by a determinably anonymous benefactor, Inspector Javert struggles to cope with the consequences of being left alive.

    Summary

    He saw before him again the image of that accursed brat – a small and scrawny child, the rags he wore barely hanging on him, his head held high, his eyes shining with cheekiness, his mouth full of laughter, his nose covered in freckles. The face of a small, stinking criminal spreading crime in his city like rats spreading plague, a face that could make overly soft-hearted policemen make mistakes.

    Javert, as it turned out, was about to make a mistake.

    Summary

    Tired from countless blind dates set up by Cosette, Valjean grabs a random person by the arm in line at a café to tell her that he'd "met someone" to save himself from further embarrassment. Unfortunately, he grabs Javert. Javert, who Valjean had to talk off a bridge after the protests last year, who pardoned him in exchange for never seeing him again.

    Cosette is, of course, thrilled. She finds Javert's work email online and pesters him about dating her father. Javert agrees, if only because his subconscious is telling him that he owes Valjean for saving his life twice. From there the two of them proceed to "date" while still kind of hating each other.

    Of course, things don't stay that way.

    Summary

    It has nearly been a year since that night on the bridge where Javert had stepped down and allowed Valjean to teach him friendship and mercy. In the months between, he has settled into Valjean's spare bedroom and has come to appreciate and even crave the company of the man he spent decades chasing. He is content and wants for nothing save for there to be less paperwork crossing his desk and less of Cosette's husband in his presence.

    Until, quite by accident, he sees Valjean as a flesh-and-blood man for the first time with needs like any other; needs that Javert finds himself echoing, reciprocating, and craving even more of. A man does not crave even the barest touch of his mere friend, so what is this emotion that fills Javert's chest until Valjean's fingers are wiping tears from his face?
