Which Popular Les Mis Ship Are You?

this one’s for everybody who, like me, has way too much goddamn time on their hands: which member of les amis & co. are you?

A Year of Les Mis

“So long as there shall exist, by virtue of law and custom, decrees of damnation pronounced by society, artificially creating hells amid the civilization of earth, and adding the element of human fate to divine destiny; so long as the three great problems of the century—the degradation of man through pauperism, the corruption of woman through hunger, the crippling of children through lack of light—are unsolved; so long as social asphyxia is possible in any part of the world;—in other words, and with a still wider significance, so long as ignorance and poverty exist on earth, books of the nature of Les Misérables cannot fail to be of use.”

The Grass Covers and the Rain Effaces

A plain stone covers a grave in a forgotten corner. Someone had written a few lines on it in pencil, but that has since been erased by the rain and covered in dust.

A Night Behind Which There Is Day

Marius and Cosette come to Valjean, and they both call him “father.” Valjean is overcome with emotion. He asks for Marius’s forgiveness, and Marius offers his thanks instead. Marius and Cosette both urge Valjean to come home with them. 

Valjean announces that he will die soon. 

The doctor appears, and he whispers to Marius that it is too late. The portress comes and asks whether Valjean would like a priest, but he points to the ceiling and says that he has already had one.

Valjean keeps trying to explain to them where the money came from, assuring them that it was gained honestly. He reminds Cosette of all that they did when she was a little girl. 

He puts his hands on Marius and Cosette’s heads, and then he dies. 

A Bottle of Ink Which Only Succeeded in Whitening

One day, Marius receives a letter which smells like tobacco and looks unsettling. He recognizes both the smell and the handwriting. The letter states that the sender, who is waiting in the antechamber, has a secret which concerns someone who concerns Marius. 

Marius has Basque bring the man in. Marius is expecting to see his old neighbor Jondrette, but the man who appears is a stranger. His clothes are threadbare, and they don’t fit him. They were lent to him by “the Changer,” a man who collects all sorts of costumes and rents them out to thieves who need to appear honest.

The man reveals that there is a thief and an assassin inside Marius’s house. He tells him that the thief’s name is Jean Valjean, but Marius tells him he already knew this. Marius reveals that he also knows the stranger’s name: Thenardier. Marius says that he knows that Valjean robbed a mayor named Madeleine and killed a police agent named Javert.

Thenardier corrects him, telling him that Madeleine is Valjean and that Javert killed himself. Marius is relieved. Thenardier then tells Marius that he saw Valjean in the sewers on June 6, 1832, carrying a dead man and that Thenardier ripped off a piece of the dead man’s coat as proof. Marius recognizes the fabric.

Marius throws some money at Thenardier and tells him to leave. 

Two days later, Thenardier leaves for America with Azelma and twenty thousand francs. He is not redeemed.

Marius runs to find Cosette and then rushes to Valjean’s with her. 

A Pen Is Heavy to the Man Who Lifted the Fauchelevent’s Cart

Eventually, Valjean becomes so weak that dressing himself is exhausting. One day, he pulls out the valise and lays out Cosette’s old clothes and lights the bishop’s candlesticks. 

He sits down in front of the mirror, and it looks like he’s aged thirty years since the wedding. 

He pulls out a pen and paper and slowly begins to write. In a letter, he begins to explain to Cosette where the money came from. He is quickly overcome with emotion, believing that he will never see Cosette again.

Last Flickerings of a Lamp Without Oil

Eventually, Valjean no longer leaves his apartment, and then he no longer leaves his bed. The portress brings him food, but he stops eating, too. 

The portress is concerned about him, and the porter says that he will die whether he has a doctor or not. A doctor passes by, and the portress asks him to go see Valjean. The doctor concludes that Valjean has lost someone dear to him and that he seems to be dying from that. 

Pity for the Unhappy, but Indulgence for the Happy

Marius tries to edge Valjean out of their lives as much as possible. He avoids using any of the six hundred thousand francs because he thinks it was earned unjustly, and he wants to use it to make restitution to whoever Valjean had wronged. 

Cosette has let herself become so focused on Marius that she stops thinking about Valjean.

Attraction and Extinction

Every day, an old man goes out for a walk. He gets slower and slower the closer he gets to his destination, and when he arrives, he stands and cries and then returns home. Eventually, he stops farther and farther away from his destination. 

They Recall the Garden of the Rue Plumet

One day in the spring, Marius and Cosette decide to go back to visit the garden in the Rue Plumet. They stay all afternoon, and Cosette is not back in time to see Valjean. 

The next day, Valjean questions her about their finances and asks why she doesn’t have nicer things, like her own carriage. Valjean starts staying longer and longer, but then the fire stops being lit when he arrives. Marius comments to Cosette that they could survive without Valjean’s money. The next day, there are no chairs in the cellar room. The day after that, Valjean no longer comes. When Cosette sends Nicolette to ask after his health, he says that he’s preparing for a little journey. 

Another Step Backwards

Jean Valjean returns every day at the same time. Cosette no longer questions him why he addresses her formally or refuses to come upstairs. Marius avoids Valjean. In time, Cosette becomes more and more detached from Valjean.
