    Summary

    When classical violinist Javert gets hired as the new concertmaster of the Montreuil Philharmonic, the last thing he expects is for Maestro Madeleine to actually be the infamous Jean Valjean from his conservatory days. The first problem with this? Their polar opposite philosophies on music make it nearly impossible to work together. The second problem? … He’s still hot.

    Summary

    “Perhaps, after tonight, the law no longer drives me as it has all my life. And if the law does not drive me, I do not know what will.”

    “I know you, Javert. You may not like it, but I know you. I know the sense of purpose you speak of. That kind of drive doesn’t just go away. I believe that kind of passion conveys more about the person who feels it, rather than the cause of the passion. Even if it wanes with time, even if it is a source other than the law that moves you, you will find that drive again. You will find something to direct it to.”

    --

    Months after Valjean pulls Javert from the Pont au Change, they both find themselves without purpose. Valjean becomes hopeless without Cosette to care for. Meanwhile, Javert's growing doubt about his place in the police force leaves him aimless. But Javert and Valjean's lives have always been irreversibly intertwined. As they learn what it means to change and be changed, they may find that their lives are meant to intertwine in a way neither of them ever expected.

    In case anyone needed another post-Seine Valvert slow burn ;)

    Summary

    Javert hates working at the university. The kids are irritating to work with and the other teachers are just as frustrating. When a new professor comes to join the university, Javert thinks he’ll go mad once and for all.

    Summary

    Tired from countless blind dates set up by Cosette, Valjean grabs a random person by the arm in line at a café to tell her that he'd "met someone" to save himself from further embarrassment. Unfortunately, he grabs Javert. Javert, who Valjean had to talk off a bridge after the protests last year, who pardoned him in exchange for never seeing him again.

    Cosette is, of course, thrilled. She finds Javert's work email online and pesters him about dating her father. Javert agrees, if only because his subconscious is telling him that he owes Valjean for saving his life twice. From there the two of them proceed to "date" while still kind of hating each other.

    Of course, things don't stay that way.

    Summary

    This last book laid into place on the proper pile, Javert raises his gaze to Valjean’s. "Your library," he says, in the crisp tones of judgement that only a police inspector could hope to intone, "is an affront to the very concept of order."

    [Javert reorganizes Valjean's library. It is easier said than done.]
