(no subject)
So the other day 
littledust and I had a long and ridiculous conversation about doofball revolutionaries which I am here preserving for posterity. (These chatlogs are of interest to like two people. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, I HOPE YOU ENJOY.)
littledust: give me the AU where they all work at a bakery.
skygiants: hahahahahaha oh man
Lee Su Hyun outwardly working for the rival bakery
after apprenticing with Wan and Song Joo
littledust: he is really SABOTAGING THEIR CREPES for justice (and carbs)
skygiants: STEALING THEIR SECRET RECIPES
passing them to the plucky local bakery via Geun Duk
who is sooooo tired of all this subterfuge
and does not understand why it is necessary
littledust: Woo Wan just wants to drink his fancy hipster coffee in peace! but somehow gets drawn into the world of BAKING
skygiants: Yeo Kyung wants to promote TRADITIONAL BAKING
none of this fancy westernized stuff
locally sourced ingredients!
littledust: Soo Jong is determined to pay her employees fairly while providing delicious goods and service with a smile! well, a half-smile.
skygiants: and also making Woo Wan's life a hilarious torment
and, you know, encourage him to do something useful with his lazy hipster life
littledust: ahahaha, the reporter dudes can still work for their ~literary~ gossip magazine.
skygiants: IT'S TRUE
and still take terrible tabloid photos whenever possible
littledust: oh man and Yeo Kyung is FORCED to get a cell phone to... research bread idk... and gets drawn into elaborate text arguments with Woo Wan.
skygiants: she doesn't even WANT a cell phone
KIDS ARE STARVING SOMEWHERE
and Wan keeps texting her stupid emoticons
and finally she forces him to sign up for an apps that donates ten cents to charity every time you text
littledust: awwww, character growth. kind of.
Lee Su Hyung and Song Joo keep having clandestine meetings where they talk about pastries and stare at each other.
skygiants: and all the bakery girls are like ". . . . no, seriously, we don't understand why they're not doing it yet"
littledust: what's his name is totally the EVIL health inspector who just wants them to get shut down 'cause he's sold out to the corporate chain!
skygiants: LEE KANG GU
he and Yeo Kyung were childhood friends once but he grew up into a jerk who took bribes :-(
after shutting down her father's bakery
which is why she keeps a bookstore instead
the conclusion is the triumphant opening of a BOOKSTORE-BAKERY-CAFE
littledust: YES OMG THREE TASTES THAT GO GREAT TOGETHER
Yeo Kyung tells Wan she will not sleep with him until she achieves her dream of REOPENING HER FATHER'S BAKERY
skygiants: and Wan is like ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME
FINE THEN
I will become the BEST BAKER EVER
and gets his super rich father to invest in it
littledust: Min returns from his culinary study abroad and is so proud of his little brother ;_; everyone's like WE THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD and he was like what no you know how I am about e-mails
skygiants: hahahahahahahaha
In Ho sells out to the corporate bakery
and then suffers a massive crisis of consciece
and decides he should renounce baking forever
but Yeo Kyung is like "we will also need baristas . . ."
littledust: his example inspires Lee Kang Gu to give up his evil bribe taking ways and sign their permits, despite Ueda Co's (aka Sachiko's) disapproval.
Miyuki is like MOM, YOU'RE SO EMBARRASSING
skygiants: and the newspaper risks Sachiko's displeasure
by running a huge complimentary feature
about the new bookstore-bakery-cafe
littledust: yeeeees! and when the bookstore-bakery-cafe officially opens, Lee Su Hyun quits way more dramatically than necessary and he and Soo Jong do it in the kitchen, violating the health codes they finally established they were following.
skygiants: and Kang Gu ALMOST catches them
and everything ALMOST falls apart
littledust: Geun Duk is like HOW IS THIS MY LIFE
skygiants: but fortunately they are able to pull a clever bluff at the last minute!
GEUN DUK HATES HIS LIFE SO MUCH
in every au
in all aus
littledust: his life is so hard ;_;
littledust: it also preserves the best parts of Capital Scandal, like hilarious wardrobe choices, Wan yelling at things, IDEALISM GALORE, Geun Duk hating his life, and Lee Su Hyun being NEEDLESSLY ANGSTY ALL THE TIME when he could be doing it.
skygiants: this is Lee Su Hyun's strongest character trait
Kelsey: everyone completely fails to understand why Lee Su Hyun had to GO AND WORK AT THE RIVAL CORPORATION in order to learn their secrets
skygiants: they could have just . . . come up with new recipes . . . .
littledust: WHY NOT JUST WORK AT THE BAKERY AND DATE SOO JONG
skygiants: or he could have just TOLD EVERYONE WHAT HE WAS DOING
but it had to be secret because something something class issues angst something nobody understands except Su Hyun
littledust: Su Hyun is just a glutton for punishment, okay
littledust: Su Hyun attempts to forbid Soo Jong from baking after she burns her arm. Geun Duk is like WHY DO I BOTHER WITH YOU PEOPLE
skygiants: Su Hyun has been SECRETLY FUNNELING MONEY
as well as secret recipes
to the bakery all this time
Song Joo finds out but is like "that's nice, but you're still . . . . not the boss of me . . . ? :D"
"ps my table is still open"
"right now"
littledust: when Wan starts giving Su Hyun advice, he knows he is truly pathetic.
skygiants: "dude"
"you don't understand"
"all these bets about MY love life"
"MIGHT STOP"
"IF YOU JUST GAVE IN AND PROVIDED ONE OF HER OWN"
(spoiler: they will not)
Su Hyun passes through Geun Duk a suggestion that Yeo Kyung try and date a big corporate bakery employe to learn their expansion plans
Geun Duk is like WHY
Su Hyun: because it will be funny . . . .
and even a lost unforgiveable soul like me MUST HAVE ENTERTAINMENT SOMEWHERE
Kelsey: that just leads to Wan giving voice to all his feelings at open mic night.
skygiants: terrible karaoke singing
terrible drunken karaoke singing
littledust: a crucial chapter in this hypothetical AU, where they all drink and do karaoke.
skygiants: they can still get trapped out in the countryside and have to bicycle back
after Yeo Kyung gets super drunk
littledust: Song Joo is still ridiculously great at self defense.
skygiants: of course
at one point after Kang Gu threatens to shut down the bookstore and makes Yeo Kyung really upset
she ambushes a corporate dude in an alley, in disguise, and terrifies him
just to relieve her feelings
littledust: I am picturing Song Joo and Su Hyun emerging from the kitchen with suspicious flour handprints and just CRYING laughing
skygiants: Young Ran and the bakery assistants just crack up
and Geun Duk makes an effort not to bang his head repeatedly against the wall
littledust: Wan gives them both the most enthusiastic high fives EVER.
skygiants: and Yeo Kyung a tiny, discreet, super embarrassed thumbs up
littledust: can their bookstore-bakery-cafe please be called REVOLUTION
skygiants: OF COURSE IT CAN
littledust: my friend Ami and I were joking that all Grantaire needs to do is get a tattoo of France.
skygiants: hahahaha IT'S TRUE
the sexiest possible thing he could do to his body
littledust: France tattoo, write quotes from the Declaration of the Rights of Man on his body, wrap self in flag
GRANTAIRE IS READY FOR LOVE
skygiants: Enjolras approaches
Grantaire is so excited!
Enjolras takes the flag . . . .
. . . goes over to the window . . .
. . . . waves it out enthusiastically and makes a speech . . . . .
Grantaire is like "this was not the point >:|"
littledust: HE TRIES SO HARD
skygiants: what he needs
is a Cha Song Joo
once she bet ten bags of rice on them getting together
Enjolras doesn't stand a chance
littledust: these fandoms were made for crossovers, despite the 100 years separating them. and, you know, geograpy.
*geography
skygiants: Woo Wan would LOVE hanging out with Courfeyrac and Bossuet
littledust: HAHAHA O M G
skygiants: he never understod
that revolution
could be so much fun
and so full of booze
littledust: Su Hyun and Jean Valjean hanging out ;_;
skygiants: omg
I love them both but they would encourage each other in the worst ways ;__;
"yes I agree you have no choice but to quietly make secret recompense while pretending you have no feelings for her"
"let's go have a drink and brood about it"
littledust: and then they bond over caring deeply for prostitutes
skygiants: Song Joo is like OH MY GOD
drags Valjean over to Cosette
sits him down and is like
TALK TO HER
or I will shoot you in the head
littledust: Song Joo single-handedly holds down all barricades everywhere
skygiants: Javert actually respects Su Hyun
and thinks Kang Gu is a huge tool
littledust: HAHA YES
skygiants: he's really worried by these feelings Su Hyun seems to hae for this revolutionary
FEELINGS ARE A POLICEMAN'S DOWNFALL
9:02 PM Kelsey: Gavroche teaches In Hu how to have a poker face EVER
skygiants: hahahahahahaha
In Ho doesn't understand how an eleven-year-old became his mentor
and yet . . . .
littledust: Wan and Soo Jong are secretly pleased that the revolution is now 1000% more musical.
skygiants: Geun Duk, on the other hand . . .
although he likes Enjolras
it is his idea of what a revolutionary should be
ALL SPEECHES, NO ROMANCE
Yeo Kyung and Enjolras are best platonic revolutionary buddies
and they are both secretly horrified to find themselves falling for dissolute drinkers due to Song Joo's machinations
and spend a lot of time hanging out and attempting to bolster their CELIBATE REVOLUTIONARY FEELINGS
littledust: THOSE POOR UNFORTUNATE SOULS. when they can't fight this feeling anymore, they console themselves by saying, "At least we're inspiring them to revolution! ...right?"
skygiants: "no sex until the country is liberated though!"
"ABSOLUTELY"
"if you see us making out in a bar, Yeo Kyung, I EXPECT YOU TO INTERVENE AND REMIND ME OF THIS"
littledust: it's all going beautifully according to plan until Yeo Kyung is far too awkward to pry them apart.
skygiants: besides Cha Song Joo is distracting her on the other side of the bar
so she tries to get over there! BUT SHE CAN'T
and then Woo Wan is like LOOK
EVEN ENJOLRAS
littledust: and that is THE most compelling argument anyone could ever give, ever
plus she accidentally took a sip of wine
and in turn Song Joo turns to Su Hyun and is like EVEN THEM
skygiants: hahahahahahaha
and Su Hyun is like ". . . . . . I have to go"
and angsts off in a secret policeman-y fashion
littledust: Eponine pours Song Joo a stiff drink.
skygiants: Song Joo recruits Eponine so fast though
"no more brooding, time for REVOLUTIONARY SHOPPING"
littledust: YES
skygiants: and she and Yeo Kyung hang out all the time
and Yeo Kyung gives her encouraging speeches
about giving up BOYS in favor of THE COUNTRY
littledust: Eponine ends up dating one of the courtesans and Yeo Kyung is like, "That's... not what I meant..."
skygiants: YES
Eponine/Young Ran
Eponine helps teach her how to read
littledust: ;____; the best thing
skygiants: Yeo Kyung is like "I guess . .. . if it helps the cause of literacy . . ."
littledust: everyone is happy in revolutionland! all they needed was the band together!
skygiants: BY THEIR POWERS COMBINED
Capital Scandal to fix all their relationship problems and Les Mis to fix all their not actually having enough revolutionaries in the secret organization problems
littledust: EXACTLY
MAGIC
all they need is a TARDIS and both plots are SOLVED
