Not So Misérables (Les Miserables Fanfic)

You know the story. Jean Valjean stole a loaf of bread and went to jail. He broke parole after receiving a lot of silver, and made a better life, while being stalked by his prison guard Javert.

Fantine was abandoned by the man whose child she bore and gave to the Thénardiers. She got fired from her job, and became a prostitute, eventually to die, leaving her daughter Cosette to Jean Valjean.

Jean Valjean fetches Cosette from the mistreating hands of the Thénardiers who abuse her and spoil their own daughter, Éponine.

They grow up, and Cosette falls in love with Marius, whom Éponine, now poor loves. Marius loves Cosette, and is part of the revolution, led by Enjolras.

The barricade arises, and Javert spies there but is caught and given to the hands of Jean Valjean to let's him go.

Back at the barricade, Éponine dies delivering a letter of love to Cosette from Marius. The barricade boys all fall, except for the barely living Marius, who Jean Valjean drags through the gutter. Thénardier, more evil than ever, robs them of Marius's ring. Meanwhile, Javert suicides out of guilt.

Marius and Cosette are married, but at the feast Marius sees his ring with Thénardier, who unintentionally makes Marius realize Jean Valjean saved him.

Valjean, however, has already left and is about to die. Cosette and Marius visit him, and Valjean leaves them a letter of his life story. Fantine and later Éponine lead Jean Valjean to Heaven, where the revolutionaries are singing about the future.

But what if Jean Valjean didn't break parole? Where would everyone be? Who'd be dead? Who'd be married? Find out!
