Similarly Occupied, or: Le Quadrille des Lanciers by BadassIndustries
Fandoms: Les Misérables - All Media Types
08 Apr 2018
Tags
Summary
Having a partner already secured before the dancing began was a sign of either great social standing or considerable personal charm. Naturally, this meant that Grantaire, technically an Honourable, but practically a wastrel, had an entirely empty dance card with no prospect of getting it filled. He is therefore most surprised when Amor himself appears, having apparently detached himself from the ceiling decorations with the express purpose of dancing the Quadrille with him...
Enjolras, delicately brought up but with no desire to either court or be courted, only attends balls for the pleasure of conversing freely with his friends. Tonight however, he is determined to recruit a new acquaintance to their Society for Social Change. If the only way to speak privately is to dance with him, so be it. And what a fortunate coincidence that the young man in question is of a mind to turn their dance from a duty into an unexpected pleasure...

The Matrimonial Troubles of Suzannah Combeferre by BadassIndustries
Fandoms: Les Misérables - All Media Types
06 Oct 2019
Tags
Summary
Great-aunt Matilda had believed fiercely in the institution of marriage and also in forcing young people to take up employment. Therefore she had left a large fortune to the first Combeferre child to marry, but with the strict condition that the money would only be released to set up a school, institution or otherwise ‘start the young people on a life of gainful employment, industry and wedded bliss.’ The exact phrasing of the bequest had been dissected many times; the money could only go to a business and not a charitable society.
As it was Combeferre and Courfeyrac were fortunate enough to be able to marry without that money, but Combeferre’s sister Suzannah had long dreamed of starting a school. Her aunt’s gift would allow her to not only open her school, but also receive students with fewer means. A school of the arts and sciences, open to all regardless of background was a worthy enough cause to put off their engagement until Suzannah had found a partner. Combeferre and Courfeyrac had to keep the secret for the entire season at least.This is the story of how Suzannah Combeferre deals with finding a spouse, a quest for romance she isn't sure she actually wants and a pining brother-in-law-to-be.
