《Daphné》Chapter 9 - Drink with me
Making sure Javert is tied up, I head out of the Musain to fight, but a voice behind me makes me pause. I turn around, surprised to find Javert talking to me. I inch closer to him as he says, "Mademoiselle, you shouldn't be here..." he trails off as I step closer and he recognises me from the rally. "You" he says, looking baffled. "Me", I say matter-of-factly. "You're the leader's girl", he continues, "he probably doesn't want you here." I look at him stony faced before replying in a cold voice, "I love him and I am going to protect him no matter what." I hesitate before I continue, "scum like you isn't going to stop me."
As I turn to leave, I can see his eyes ablaze with anger and it's only then that I notice the deafening silence. I run outside and let out a sigh of relief as I see everyone is in one piece. However, "something seems wrong", I think to myself before noticing the sombre mood. I look at Marius and let out a silent cry, falling to my knees as I see him with a wounded Éponine. I open my mouth to speak but no words come out as I see Éponine go limp in his arms. Tears rattle my body and I start to shake violently as I'm pulled to my feet by Prouvaire who wraps me in a hug. I sob into his jacket, letting the smell of parchment, ink and fresh flowers fill my nostrils as Joly and Combeferre carry Éponine's small body away into the café, while Marius clutches what looks like a letter and doesn't move.
I feel Jehan let me go and I look up to see a man in National Guard uniform surrounded by the boys, all holding guns. He claims to be a volunteer, and as the boys tell him about Javert's lies, the man grabs Courfeyrac's gun and shoots upwards, killing two hidden snipers.
The boys finish the rest off, and I watch Enjolras talk to the man before the stranger walks inside the tavern, dragging Javert away. I make my way to Enji, but before I'm halfway we hear a gunshot, and the volunteer returns, sharing a nod with Enjolras. I continue to walk to Enjolras and he runs up to me, lifting me off the ground, spinning me around. I laugh lightly at this and as he sets me down, I catch a glimpse of 'Taire with his eyes full of jealousy.
I sigh, but burst out laughing when Enjolras swoops me up bridal style and I cuddle into him as he finds a comfortable place for us on the barricade. "Courfeyrac, you take the watch, they may attack before it's light", he says, pulling me closer to him as if that were possible. "Everybody keep the faith, for certain as our banner flies, we are not alone. The people too must rise." He rocks us back and forth and I glance at Marius who is continuing stacking items onto the barricade. "Marius, rest." I call out and he looks at me before finally settling down.
"Drink with me", Grantaire starts to sing. I smile at him, this is one of my favourites.
"To days gone by.
To the life,
that used to be", we all join in.
"At the shrine of friendship
never say die,
let the wine of friendship
never run dry!
Here's to you,
and here's to me!"
Everyone smiles sadly, but I continue singing, only loud enough for Enjolras to hear, "drink with me, to days gone by. Can it be, you fear to die? Will the world remember you when you fall, can it be you death means nothing at all? Is your life, just one more life?" I finish, my eyes full of tears that threaten to fall. Enjolras hooks a finger under my chin, making me look at him. I can see the initial shock in his eyes that slowly fades away when he looks into my own eyes, clouded with fear. He presses a sweet kiss to my lips, as we make ourselves comfortable and fall into a surprisingly peaceful sleep.

Ruining Happily Ever After
Laia is pissed. When she kills off a fan favorite from her successful novel series, she elicits the anger of some chuunibyou god-child. As her ‘divine punishment’, she gets thrown into a world of her own making– literally. Waking up as the villain of a shitty CEO romance novel she wrote long ago, Laia has to satisfy the life wishes that character has. If she does, she can get out of this world and return to her own. If she doesn’t, she dies. Armed with a talking fox-cat-thing to navigate the system mechanics of her punishment, she’s ready to turn the place upside to get what she wants. She's also not opposed to having a little bit of fun in the process. The original protagonist is in love with her, the original love interest is thoroughly destroyed, and– if it wasn’t already obvious– the original storyline is up in flames. ⋅ ⋆ ⋅ ⋆ ⋅ One crappy romance novel was enough, but another? “I fucking completed everything that stupid system asked of me, so tell your idiot brother to bring me back to my world.” The handsome man languidly sitting on the throne sighed dramatically, “Unfortunately, father and mother heard about what he did to you. He’s currently under guard and won’t be able to get you out of here.” “Why didn’t your parents get me removed from here first before locking your brother up?" "They forgot,” he simply said. He showed a regretful expression. She knew it was bullshit. Her temples throbbed, “So what are you doing here?” A beautiful smile bloomed on his lips. It was enchanting, bewitching, and made her want to bash his face in. “I’m here to keep you company,” he winked, “My Empress.”God. She wanted to stab him in the heart just to shut him up. ▽▽▽ System but not really. Barebones shit. This book may end up reading like crack. You have been warned.
