    Summary

    "What can be terrible that is not also beautiful? Where can beauty be found that does not also strike terror into a heart? Such things are embodied in the Angel of the Barricade, the man with blood on his hands, who has loved none but the stones beneath their feet."

    --

    Or, on the night of the barricade, Grantaire wakes, and talks with Enjolras about the life they could have lived.

    Summary

    “Pirates. So you want us to become pirates."

    “The sea is the only place left for us now.”

    Grantaire could not believe his ears. He knew Enjolras came up with at least three crazy ideas a day, but none as crazy as that one. Grantaire could deal with graffitiing official monuments, staging illegal protests in the Place de la Bastille or sabotaging army steamboats, but from there to becoming pirates was a huge leap. It was undoubtedly the craziest of his ideas.

    And what was worse, everyone else seemed to agree with it.

    “Okay, but why do I have to go with you? I've never been involved in any of this. I like my life here."

    "You're the only one who knows how to sail.”

    ***

    After a failed magnicide attempt and with the absolute certainty that the Guard knows absolutely everything about them, the rebel organization known as Les Amis de l'ABC decides to take to the sea as the only way to stay alive. In a kingdom subjugated under the tyrannical boots of a Monarchy whose control even feelings do not escape, they hope to find in piracy the freedom to continue opposing the regime... and also the freedom to live according to their own feelings.

    (Les Amis de l'ABC go steampunk)

    Summary

    “That you and I are rivals of some sort. That by the end of the tour, we will put aside our differences and be as thick as thieves," Enjolras huffs a dry laugh. It was the first time Grantaire had heard him express anything except for disdain. “Of course, that will not be happening. So why care about what The Rolling Stone wants to push?”

    Dionysonic and The Red Flags, punk's two biggest rivals, are set to go on a tour across America. Grantaire expects it to be a disaster; Enjolras plans it to be one. But between dive bars and diners, screaming matches and stolen glances, a different story starts writing itself - one the tabloids never saw coming.
