AN: Hi everyone, this is my first shot at a Les Mis ff. I have seen the movie and am currently reading the brick so I hope I am slowly building up a library of knowledge which I can use to only improve my writing. I know this is short but it's just a start, please let me know what you think, kind words and constructive criticism is always appreciated.
Disclaimer: Guess what? I don't own Les Mis or any of the characters... shocking, I know.

Dear Eponine,
I am writing to ensure that you have settled well into the living quarters on Rue Cezane. As was written in the letter I left you, I hope you have found sufficient funds for you and your siblings to live a more sustainable life than you had previously. However, if these funds do run out, do not hesitate to write and I will instruct you on how to access more.
In regards to the welfare of Marius, he is in a state where he does nothing but mope about wishing to be returned to his beloved, as for the rest of the men, we are all ready, determined and prepared to do our service our France. We are fighting for it's liberty, we will defeat the Germans. I know we will. How is the atmosphere back in Paris? Belgium is only a few hours away but it feels like worlds.
Sincerely,
Enjolras

To Enjolras,
I cannot even begin to describe how thankful I am for all you have done for my family and I. Not only is it incredibly appreciated but also extremely unexpected. I – the whole family, we are all so incredibly indebted to you that I fear it is impossible for me to ever truly repay you. It seems like a mere "thank you" in a letter isn't enough but until you return from this war it will have to be suffice. I have every intention of entering into the workforce, as does Azelma so that we may have an income of our own and perhaps afford to send Gavroche to secondary school in a few weeks and perhaps some of our earnings can go towards repaying you for your kindness.
Tell Marius that his beloved has fled France across the sea to England, she will send and address to me when she is settled and then Marius can write to her. Tell him that he will soon see the handwriting he loves so much. Tell him to hold on and that he will be fine.
The atmosphere here in Paris is incredible and the passion in the people's eyes is even enough to rival yours during one of your speeches! There is so much enthusiasm, so much excitement; we are all so sure that you have one that we are already planning your return!
Stay safe!
From Eponine
Kind words and constructive criticism are always appreciated xx
