Fic: "The Life You Save May Be Your Own"
Title: The Life You Save May Be Your Own
Fandom: Les Misérables (2012)
Pairing: Valjean/Javert
Rating: Explicit
Word count: ~ 2400
Summary: Valjean turns Javert around again, towards the mirror, and pulls him close. "Look at us," he breathes in Javert's ear. "These are the men we are today. Would you have believed it, only a year ago?"
Content info: Post-canon established-relationship AU; repression; romance bordering on schmoop
Notes: From a kinkmeme prompt: "They always fuck in total darkness, under the covers. More often than not Javert keeps his eyes shut. Valjean has had enough of it. He wants to make Javert acknowledge what they do, what there is between them. He fucks Javert in full daylight in front of a mirror and forces Javert to watch." Thanks to the OP for an awesome prompt, and to Flannery O'Connor for the title. (Also here on AO3.)
A year has passed since he spared a man's life, since that man let him go free, since the meeting on the bridge. Since he, through God's grace, somehow managed to convince Javert to come home with him; since, wary like a wounded beast and yet too tired to put up a fight, Javert let himself be convinced to stay.
