    Summary

    Shaken after learning he has wrongfully suspected the mayor, Javert rushes to the mairie to request his dismissal—but Madeleine isn't there. When the mayor returns two days later, it's with Cosette in tow, and Javert struggles to find an opportunity to speak with him.

    Meanwhile, as Fantine recovers from her illness, Javert becomes convinced that Madeleine has fallen in love with her. If the mayor were to act on these feelings, it would be disastrous for his reputation. Javert is determined to save Madeleine from himself.

    What he hasn't considered is that he may be wrong about who holds the mayor's heart—not to mention his own.

    Summary

    “Perhaps, after tonight, the law no longer drives me as it has all my life. And if the law does not drive me, I do not know what will.”

    “I know you, Javert. You may not like it, but I know you. I know the sense of purpose you speak of. That kind of drive doesn’t just go away. I believe that kind of passion conveys more about the person who feels it, rather than the cause of the passion. Even if it wanes with time, even if it is a source other than the law that moves you, you will find that drive again. You will find something to direct it to.”

    --

    Months after Valjean pulls Javert from the Pont au Change, they both find themselves without purpose. Valjean becomes hopeless without Cosette to care for. Meanwhile, Javert's growing doubt about his place in the police force leaves him aimless. But Javert and Valjean's lives have always been irreversibly intertwined. As they learn what it means to change and be changed, they may find that their lives are meant to intertwine in a way neither of them ever expected.

    In case anyone needed another post-Seine Valvert slow burn ;)

    Summary

    To pay off an old debt, Mo Ran is a tyrant in the ring. He wins his fights, but can't seem to win the attention of the elusive doctor who watches his matches yet refuses to attend to him.

    “Get the fuck out there,” Xue Meng says as encouraging as he can, shoving Mo Ran forward. Even as Mo Ran walks to the center of the ring, Chu Wanning’s gaze weighs heavy on him. It’s not as ephemeral as it normally is, either.

    A low fire begins to stir in Mo Ran’s belly. The crowd turns into a blur, the noise fading to the background as he’s blanketed by Chu Wanning’s presence. It’s a white light in this dark, dingy hellhole and Mo Ran hones in on it like a moth. It’s only when the bell rings that Mo Ran snaps back to reality and comes face to face with his opponent. Even then, he’s filled with one singular thought.

    He’s looking at me.
