Give me two characters from one of my fandoms and I will tell you what I think they secretly think about one another.
Or
Ask me about a character, any character that I could plausibly have a fanon or interpretation of canon for, and I will give you three factors that are in the back of my head when I write them. Then either I will ask you about a different character or you can put this in your own journal and have your friends ask you.
I was given
1. Javert v. Valjean Musical-based.
2. Remus Lupin
I'll take the second one first. Mainly because I have to think about the first.
------
2. a) Remus Lupin has a lot of skeletons in his closet. Wolfsbane Potion is a very recent invention, and as such, there's probably a lot of things he did or thought he did that he rather not recall. In the time after his schooling, I can fully see him tramping around the world, hanging out with the likes of Grayback for no other reason then they understand- in ways James and Sirius never could- him.
b) And he's still haunted by the truth of that. That he is, at the heart of the matter, a creature of the darkness kind and it terrifies him. So he'll surround himself with useless, or playful things in an attempt to appear less dangerous and more approachable. He has a sneaky suspicion nobody believes it.
c) I don't think he fights for any great reason like "because it's right, or good" but rather...because he's lost so much in this war it would be both cowardly and moot for him to try and make a life outside out it. He doesn't expect to survive it and between, you and me, I think he's hoping he doesn't make it.
Now Valjean.
In the musical, Valjean is not a criminal trying to be good.He has completely transformed himself to become a Saint. As such, he sincerely forgives Javert's relentlessly ruining his life, but fears the man. There is no hate, or mutual loathing between the two. I think Valjean has thrown Javert into the back of his head as "Nightmare." When Javert is present, in actuality or specter, it is all Valjean can think about. Other then that, he doesn't exist.
Javert, on the other hand, is slightly more interesting. Also, considering himself a Saint, Javert casts himself as avenging Angel: Michael to Valjean's Lucifer and he is absolutely determined to protect the world from him and I think the more fantastic their encounters: the bedside of a dying woman, a doomed barricade, the more...justified Javert feels in his belief that he will be the vessel of God's justice.
He's both perturbed and offended that Valjean would ruin his illusion by sparing his life and that jarring from "how it should be" to "how it is" throws Javert's entire life out of whack.
