Fantine is a fictional character in Victor Hugo's 1862 novel Les Misérables. She is a young orphaned grisette in Paris who becomes pregnant by a rich student. After he abandons her, she is forced to look after their child, Cosette, on her own. Originally a pretty and naïve girl, Fantine is eventually forced by circumstances to become a prostitute, selling her hair and front teeth, losing her beauty and health. The money she earns is sent to support her daughter.
Fantine became an archetype of self-abnegation and devoted motherhood. Possibly due to her status as an orphan, Hugo never labels her with a surname. She has been portrayed by many actresses in stage and screen versions of the story and has been depicted in works of art.

Better Run for Cover
A Les Misérables Fan Fiction - The story of André, the younger sister of Enjolras and a street urchin who finds herself captured by Javert for stealing to survive. With the revolution looming on the horizon, André must fight for what, and who, she believes in if she wants to survive. "Little people know, when little people fight, we may look easy pickings but we got some bite! So never kick a dog, because its just a pup! You better run for cover when the pup grows up and we'll fight like twenty armies and we won't give up!" ~Gavroche {Les Miserables} ((The beginning chapters are relatively short - don't worry, they get longer later on!))Complete
Enjolras x Reader
As the daughter of Pierre Moulin, the army general of the national guard, (Y/N) Moulin grew up rather wealthy, never having to worry about where she'll sleep or if she'll eat. Despite this, she did worry. Not for herself, though, but for all those who had nothing; no homes, no food, no jobs, no voice, no rights. It came as no surprise that, at the age of 16, she joined Les Amis De L'ABC. Though, what no one could've guessed (except for those who read the title) is just how much she would come to admire the group's leader Enjolras. And who knows, maybe he reciprocated those affections. A generic, hopefully not too Mary-Sue-Reader fanfiction. Many regrets, much shame, no cares. And no, you don't get to choose your last name.

LES MISERABLES - VOL 2 - COSETTE (Completed)
Cosette is a fictional character in the novel Les Misérables by Victor Hugo. Her birth name, Euphrasie, is only mentioned briefly. As the orphaned child of an unmarried mother deserted by her father, Hugo never gives her a surname. In the course of the novel, she is mistakenly identified as Ursule, Lark, or Mademoiselle Lanoire. She is the daughter of Fantine, who leaves her to be looked after by the Thénardiers, who exploit and victimise her. Rescued by Jean Valjean, who raises Cosette as if she were his own, she grows up in a convent school. She falls in love with Marius Pontmercy, a young lawyer. Valjean's struggle to protect her while disguising his past drives much of the plot until he recognizes "that this child had a right to know life before renouncing it"-and must yield to her romantic attachment to Marius.

A Just Man
Les Misérables: Volume 1 - Fantine: Book 1 - A Just Man i don't own this book it was written by the wonderful Victor Hugo and this version was translated by Isabel F. Hapgood. The novel begins with a brief biography of M. Myriel, the bishop of Digne, a diocese in France. Born in 1740 to a wealthy aristocratic family, Myriel is forced to flee to Italy during the French Revolution of 1789. Years later, he returns to his homeland as a priest. A chance encounter with Emperor Napoléon in 1806 leads to Myriel’s appointment as bishop of Digne. When he moves to Digne, he discovers that the church has provided him and his small entourage with a well-appointed eighteenth-century palace, while the patients at the hospital next door live in cramped and dangerous conditions. Myriel insists on switching houses with the hospital and gives the majority of his church salary to the city’s poorest citizens and to charities in Paris and abroad. Myriel and his family live a simple life, but out of consideration for his housekeeper, he holds on to two little luxuries: a set of silverware and two silver candlesticks. Myriel’s compassion earns him the love of his parishioners, and he becomes a clergyman of wide renown. He defends the needs of the poor and argues that most petty criminals steal to survive, not because they are inherently malicious. He becomes a vocal critic of the prejudices of French society and an advocate for universal education. Among the needy, Myriel’s actions earn him the nickname “Bienvenu,” which means “welcome.”Complete
