A/N- I'm back... Yes. Sorry that took so long, but there's been far too much going on... Oh, the drama. Anyway...
notthatlucky- Yes, me too. The Witch's rap kicks butt, doesn't it? I love Bernadette Peters -hero worships-
nebulia- Nope, it wasn't. There is, indeed, "a whole 'nother act" full of... well... we'll see.
Tziporah- I was actually attempting to make it sound like a band... just so you can picture that... Enjolras as the lead singer... Jehan on the drums...
ArgentineRose- Bringin' it. Finally...
Devonny Strauss- Hmm, neither can I. But yes, Jacques and Claire... they try so hard...
Kang Xiu- I wonder myself, I must admit... I have no idea what I'm going to do with it, but we'll see. Yeah, it'll probably get Man of Paris-ish before too long.
Robyn-Enjolras- Prolonged suspense, too, for we don't elaborate on the scream quite yet.
Eponine- I wouldn't hurt Cosette? Have you read any of my earlier stuff? Bobette? Mizzies at the Park? LM Meets BTTF? Beauty and the Sexy Beast? Didn't think so. And no, Eponine and 'Parnasse would probably never get married, but that didn't stop them from acting as though they were. She was his mistress, but you know that; you've read the book. I, too, was a fan of the musical first (I'm willing to bet everyone here was), but the reason a lot of people are "stoning" you for your ideas is that most of us will begin to take the book as indisputable fact before we start writing/reviewing fanfiction. It's just... right.
Ponine24601- Yay, then you should like the reprise... here.

Marius Pontmercy is sitting on a bench in the Luxembourg gardens, pondering, when he sees a familiar shape.
"Montparnasse?"
"Hullo, Pontmercy." The young dandy sits next to him on the bench.
Marius glances over at him. "You don't look too happy. What's wrong, married life doesn't agree with you?"
"Heck no it doesn't! Oh, and it's so hard to hide an affair from your wife," Montparnasse answers.
"I know," says Marius.
Montparnasse nearly falls off of the bench. "You're kidding me! You, cheating on the baroness? I though you were madly in love with her!"
"Well," Marius begins, "I was, and I still love her, I suppose, but there's another girl I saw... beautiful little thing with big blue eyes and long blonde hair – "
"By the way, is your wife's hair blond or brown?" Montparnasse interrupts.
Marius frowns. "I'm not sure. Anyway, I saw this girl and... Well, there's just something about her that I like."
"Where'd you see her?"
"She's a dancer at the Opera."
"Hmm," says Montparnasse. "My girl's in show business too. She's a pretty dark-haired thing down at the Red Rat."
"Hey, isn't that in London?"
"Not in this story."
"Oh," Marius nods, "okay."
"It stinks, doesn't it?" Montparnasse sighs.
"Yeah."
"Ah well, back to my wife."
The men go their separate ways.
