Two lives converge beyond the barricade. *Slight extension of chapter 54, chapter 55 in progress!*

Modern AU. Since they have moved in together, it has become clear that the barricade boys (and Éponine) need a list of guidelines for proper conduct within the house. Enjolras/Eponine, Marius/Cosette and Courfeyrac/Jehan.

"He lets her go and she scurries away, and in his mind Grantaire's sneering because of course Enjolras wouldn't know how to hold on to a woman, even the slips and tatters of one." Enjolras and Éponine find each other in little cracks of time before the revolution, and then once more at the barricade.
