This was a really great story! I was a little dubious at first, but the outside narration is very effective, as is the OC. "a man who could not understand the world and a world that did not understand this man" quite possibly one of the best descriptions of Javert's conflict I've heard. This was a very very nice story!

Every time I read one of these stories, with a romance involving Javert that STILL ends up with him throwing himself into the Seine I just about cry and feel like I'm drowning myself. Dang. Well, it's extremely evocative anyway.

That was really beautiful. :) If I'd have tried to do something similar I'd have used some sort of floating omniscient presence as my narrator, but it's far better from Mireille's point of view. And your Javert is fabulous!

Aww... I almost cried at the end... Very good story. :)

"I knelt by the banks of the Seine and wept for a man who could not understand the world and a world that did not understand this man."

I LOVE THAT LINE :). so beautiful and deep - just like the river seine. i love how you described javert's last moments with Mireilli. if only she came sooner -

Vous avez pris mon souffle loin!

Incroyable!

L'fable apporte des déchirures à mes yeux

~You took my breath away!
Incredible!
The story brings tears to my eyes~


That last line...wow!
The pain in his final words...
My mind is still reeling;I feel as though I just watched him fall.
Beautiful.
There aren't enough compliments for the ending.

The fact that your Javert has pale eyes too, makes me bond with him all the more.

Well, I have said my piece...I hope
I may be back to babble on again...
thank you for a wonderful piece of fanfiction, literature really.

...Wow. Wow! Très gentil! It's funny how everyone seems to think that no one could ever love or feel affection for Javert, and he could never return it. Ahem...I beg to differ! Very good story. Bravo!

Very well written. It was sad but beautiful at the same time. I like the way you potrayed Javert through Mireille's eyes. I also liked Valjean & Cosette's cameo appearances :o)

This is utterly beautiful . . .

Wonderful! So sad. I love Javert!

ooh, that was good. powerful. just like the song from the musical. (and that last note, such an incongruous flat!). um, anyways. i like your writing, your touching story.
ps: j'aime ton francais (:

JAVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERT!!!!!!!!!!!! ------- ~Saiji (PS: Mireille IS my name. Je ne sais pas si tu parles français, mais j'ai de la misère avec mon anglais... Étrangement, moi aussi j'adore Javert)

OMG that was soooo good! I seriously almost cried! Write another one just as good! now! LoL very well written!

Wow! That was wonderful! Great job! But.. um. What's pourquoi? I'm sorry! I don't know any French! Whatever it means, I'm sure it adds great meaning to the story. I also liked how you included Cosette and Val Jean. Great job!

*sob*That's sooooooooooo good!*sob**snif* Wow! I loved the POV, and you really captured the esence of Javert*swoon* in such a short space. LUVED IT!!
