This is an AU in which the Amis are college students in present-day New York City. They call themselves the Independents, a group that fights for issues such as marriage equality, women's rights, environmental issues, and the education system. It is rated T for language and some sexuality. It is written in drabbles with pairings that will fluctuate.
Disclaimer: The original characters are Victor Hugo's. The scenarios and words are mine.
It's not that Montparnasse is mean to Jehan. He's not. It's just that he's not as nice as he should be, Courfeyrac thinks. He makes Jehan sad without realizing, and Jehan deserves to be courted with flowers and ukulele music and poetry and piggy-back rides across campus because he twisted his ankle while looking up a cloud which he insists looked like a cat. Purely hypotheticals, of course.
