This is a series of drabbles I signed up to write around the characters of Marius and Cosette. These are based on both the play and the book, with a bit of the movie with Claire Danes thrown in, and the rating varies as well. Mostly they're fluffy though, because it's hard to make Marius and Cosette be anything else. Most of these can be read seperately, and I'll label them if they go together.
Title: Faith
Prompt: Faith
Rating: G
Summary: Cosette's faith is very important to her.
Faith was what built Cosette's life. It made her believe, when it seemed her and Marius would be parted forever. It carried her through when she didn't know if Marius or her Papa would return from the barricade alive. It gave her hope as she nursed Marius's grievous injuries. Most of all, it shored her up when her Papa died, and she was left only with his last letter.
Cosette opened the tiny box Marius handed her and gasped. Inside was the most beautiful rosary she had ever seen. Clutching it tightly, she threw her arms around her husband joyfully.
Title: One Dark Night
Prompt: Moon
Rating: PG
Summary: There is no moon that night when they met...
Cosette peered around, trying to see if Marius had come yet. There was no moon tonight, and it was dark. Cautiously she took a few steps forward. "Marius?" she whispered, about ready to bolt back into the house. Something touched her, and she almost screamed, but it was only Marius, barely visible beside her.
"It's me," he whispered, and Cosette turned to face him.
Because there was no moon, they had to sit quite close to see each other; Cosette was glad the dark hid her blushes when their legs touched. But she wished the moon would disappear every night.
Title: Wounds
Prompt: Broken
Rating:PG-13
Summary: Marius is wounded in many ways...
Marius felt broken, inside and out. Outside, he was grimy and dirty from a day of fighting, with numerous cuts from the barricade and a black eye where Feuilly had accidentally hit him with the butt of his gun. Inside he bled from the pain of never seeing Cosette again, a gaping wound worse than all the rest combined.
The bullet that slammed into his shoulder was merely the last straw to break him completely. As he fell back, mind reeling in pain, he knew that he was so broken nothing could put him together again. And he was glad.
Title: A New Day Dawns
Prompt: Sunrise
Rating:PG
Summary: Marius and Cosette lose track of time
Cosette and Marius were so absorbed in each other and enjoying every hour that they had together before they were separated forever that neither of them minded the passage of time until the sky began to grow lighter. Cosette finally noticed it with horror. "It's almost sunrise!" she gasped, rising swiftly, "I must run, or they will know I'm gone!"
Marius stood up too, bringing her hands to his lips. "I will come again tomor—tonight," he said with a laugh.
She flashed a coy smile at him before turning and fleeing into the house just ahead of the sunrise.
