cw: description of needles/injection, death mention, anti-Blackness
This week we present each other with secondary research all about the festive traditions of 1830s Paris! Perfect for all your fic-writing needs. We learn a lot about fruit, shaving foam and coal mining, and Jean Valjean subscribes to Teen Vogue. Then there’s a distinct tonal change from holiday cheer to anti-war propaganda and then period-typical racism!

Cw: misogyny, descriptions of child poverty, implied underage sex work,
Nemo starts by ritualistically humiliating himself and it’s all downhill from there. Éponine is a little non-binary creechure, in spite of Hugo’s real great misogyny, and Stevie and Nemo work real, real hard to push out one cohesive point about class consciousness.

Cw: misogyny, anti-Indigenous racism, children in poverty, child abuse
We start on a real furry-themed high. We assign characters to cosy British cartoon characters, there’s some cave-sexy times, and a painting that we slowly try to decode with zero art historian know-how.

Cw: child abuse, death mention, stalking, poverty
Speaking of life getting out of people’s hands - Nemo embodies the fanfic “oh… oh”, our pantomime takes centre stage and it only takes one double entendre to change how we see Thérnadier getting “on his knees” for Valjean.

Cw: NSFW,
We’re derailed by NSFW before we even start this episode. Genuinely unhinged from minute one and it’s all downhill from there. Seriously, don’t start on this episode if you’re new here. But, in VERY exciting news, it’s time for DAME JAVERT APPRECIATION HOURS.

Cw: child abuse reference, suicide reference,
Stevie, Nemo and Marius are brave little meow meows. Stevie remembers their obsession with lighting, we think about some long… sharp… sticks, and there’s a clown car of boys. We also get into a conversation about who Valjean’s actual foil is.

Cw: suicide mention, familial loss, racism inc anti-Indigenous and anti-Blackness, vivid description of branding,
Nemo and Stevie are perhaps their most feral this episode. They start out as sewer rats, Valjean is trapped in a trap and becomes the Batman, and Nemo wins their great, 4-year-in-the-making con.

Stevie lays their plans for their one man panto, continues to have a breakdown over their cop boyfriend, Javert, and we watch the ultimate police procedural full of 100% hot people. Also, a revelation about Javert’s canonically being gay…

Cw: extended conversation about war, protests and revolutions, transness, COVID, paedophilia mention,
This week we talk about sheds for a bit, which becomes relevant, for sure. Stevie is a man of the people, we push through chats about Enj’s pepis and Nemo tries real hard to concentrate as we learn about a “few” pages of grossly relevant history and his thoughts on REALITY.
