Fanfiction
All of the stories below are derivative works of fiction based on the characters and situations presented in the novel Les Misérables. I make no claim to the characters, but they are taken from a work that is in the public domain and are not meant to represent the characters as they appear in the musical by Boublil & Schönberg. M. Hugo's ghost might well be after my blood for writing these, but M. Mackintosh's lawyers can rest in peace.
Some of these stories contain references to situations some people might find disturbing, though not significantly more so than the novel itself. Stories with strong sexual content are marked as such. For those not familiar with fandom slang, slash = a homosexual couple, het = a heterosexual couple, gen = fic that doesn't focus on romantic pairings (but might have some incidental slash or het), AU = alternate universe, drabble = a short work of exactly 100 words.
And finally... please refrain from taking anything here too seriously.
