A/N: This doesn't take into consideration the whole story told in "Les Miserables", I'm only focusing on the parts with Marius, Cosette and Eponine because I can honestly not believe that this hasn't already been done. Things have been thrown a little out of order in the transition to the AU so please don't hate me for that. I'm mainly focusing on the musical but I might pull things in from the book or film versions where I see fit. If you have any questions, just ask. Enjoy :)
Disclaimer: I do not own Glee or Les Miserables, I am merely putting the two together.

CHAPTER 1: LOOK DOWN
"How long do you suppose does Wes have left?" Nick asked as he and Blaine wandered the streets. Paris was buzzing with life despite the streets being filled with beggars, thieves and prostitutes.
"They're saying he won't last the week. I don't know what that will mean for the revolution," Blaine answered as he glanced around warily. He still didn't feel at home here but he knew it was unlikely anything bad would happen.
"It doesn't mean anything, it just means we need to be prepared for whenever we get the order," Nick said. He froze on the spot and reached out to hold Blaine back as he narrowed his gaze on Hunter Clarington and his band of layabouts. "Better mind our business. You rarely see scum like him out this early in the day."
"Hunter's harmless," Blaine muttered.
"You're only saying that because your father owed him his life," Nick grumbled before he clapped Blaine on the shoulder. "I'll see you back at the café, don't be late!"
"I won't be," Blaine called as he watched Nick rush off. Blaine glanced down at the red, white and blue ribbons pinned to his lapel and sighed. He had never though organising a revolution would be so straining.
Blaine glanced back to Hunter and his men to find they had moved to crowd around a well-dressed man and his son. Blaine found something about the younger man intriguing but was distracted when Sebastian appeared out of nowhere.
"Hey Blaine, what brings you to my humble part of the city?" Sebastian asked with a wide grin as he slung an arm around Blaine's shoulders.
"Nothing, I was just walking with Nick. Hey, who's that-"
"Ah, you two still planning that little rebellion of yours?" Sebastian asked before continuing without an answer. "Well you know I'm all for a little revolution now and again but you'd best stay away from Hunter right now. Can't have you getting caught up in his mischief when you've got bigger fish to fry."
Blaine looked up at his friend with a raised eyebrow. "Bigger fish to fry? Sure, overthrowing a king is big but he's only another Louis, it shouldn't be too difficult."
Sebastian pressed a chaste kiss to Blaine's cheek. "I love your confidence, but you really need to get out of here."
"Fine," Blaine murmured before turning away. As he did however, he remembered the boy and turned back to call on Sebastian but instead he collided with some innocent passer-by.
"Oh my, I'm so sorry!"
"Don't be, it was my fault," Blaine replied as he bent down to pick up a handkerchief that the stranger had dropped. The fine linen was embroidered with a "K" and Blaine felt his brow knit together before he looked up to find the person he had run into was the boy he had seen being harassed by Hunter.
"Could I have that back?" the boy asked, his smile not quite reaching his clear blue eyes.
"Of course!" Blaine said quickly as he handed him back the handkerchief. "My name's –"
"Kurt! We have to go!" the bald man rushed to his son's side, grabbing his arm and tugging him away. Blaine watched in dismay as the young man, as Kurt, was led away before he felt someone approach his side.
"What was that all about?" Sebastian asked, disinterested as always.
"I've never seen anybody so perfect in all my life, Sebastian," Blaine murmured.
"Of course you have, you're my best friend aren't you?" Sebastian joked but when he turned to Blaine he sobered. "I might be able to find him, if that's what you want."
"Could you?" Blaine asked excitedly, his dark curls framing the delight in his hazel eyes.
"Anything for you, Blainey," Sebastian said with a grin. "I'll come and find you at the café, alright?"
"Thank you," Blaine replied before hurrying off with a new spring in his step. Sebastian on the other hand, couldn't believe what he had just agreed to.
