Oh, wonderful! You've updated! Love it! At this point, I'm rather hoping that Cosette shows up shortly...because even in the latter stages of pregnancy, she's so much more capable of dealing with whatever plot is afoot than Marius is.

But I get the feeling that Marius is going to go on being...well...Marius about everything.

:) :) :) :) :) :)
This is how I felt after I found out you updated!
That guy was kind of a creep, I must say- and eew poor Marius... I wouldn't want "Mademoiselle Catherine" touching me either.
PLEASE do not go this long without an update again!

I think it's a sign that I've been reading too much police stuff that my first thought about this character was that he was a thief. :)

OK- I hate reviews like this, I really do, but PLEASE UPDATE THIS! I'm following one les miz fanfic, and it's yours, because there is nothing really quality being written right now. And to make this an actual review I'll add something worthwhile:
Good character development of Eponine! "You should push me away,"= COMPLETELY in character. Very Eponine, very Marius with not wanting to be impolite. Anyways, great job, PLEASE update.

Great installment...and I'm still trying to work out just how you're managing to make me feel sympathy for Marius when he's not exactly going out of his way to earn anyone's empathy...it must be because he's acting so in character that I'm enjoying it!

Hi! Loved this again- only one small critique. You said Cosette's friend was named Delphine Belier, then later called her Mademoiselle Belier. Then in the next phrase, you said that she had a husband. This is a completely silly critique and it didn't take away from the story in any way, but am I wrong in thinking that she would be a Madame? Unless I missed something... Anyways, great chapter. Again, unless I'm terribly wrong, that's our friend Eponine! Your characterization of her is great- very "don't stand so close to me- you wouldn't want to be seen with a woman like me," ish, a la field of the lark Marius/Eponine. Anyway, enough rambling. Thanks for another great chapter! Can Cosette be in te next one? Haha...

Oh ho! Someone's got balls, and it's not ickle Marius. :))

Looks like the dead just won't rest, either in flesh or in spirit, eh? I love that sort of thing. :)

Bah hah hah, it's fantastic to hear Marius the boy from the clique of social crusaders refer to the woman as an "it." "It’ll have to bathe itself!” Yes, and also put the lotion on its skin, or else it gets the hose again.

A very believable end to a very sad life.

Ok- I know I should stop guessing. You're not going to tell me if I'm right... lol. But please message me or something, just if I've gotten the connection: Catherine? The doll at Montfermeil (I butchered the spelling, but the book's not near me right now, sorry). Again, great chapter, I love it love it love it! (Finally, a full length story. You've motivated me to update my own). Anyways, love this chapter, great use of languague and everyone was very in-character, especially Marius (in case you haven't noticed yet by my fanfics, he's my favorite <3)

Shaping up to be the best Marius/Cosette post-barricade fic around! I'm glad Marius is beginning to soften his dehumanising (defensively so?) stance towards the new arrival...and as I'm all about the Amis, I'm glad to see that a ghost is tapping at the door as well (although I'm not quite so cruel as to lack sympathy for Marius not wanting to answer the summons).

...;D Oh, if you could see the smile this brought to my face.

You know, there's really something about this - what to say? - you've always been a good writer but this is even beyond that. I love how you write Marius's voice, the narrative overall seems very well-structured, and, well, it's just... good, like.

Please, please update this! I really like it... it's such a good story, and a creative way of bringing such a beloved character back into the story. It's not overly farfetched or reaching... plus you're not trying to pair her with Marius... or I hope not... If you do, I'll have to withdraw my praise... ;)

"I had one friend, but he died."

That bit gets me every bloody time...the exchange between Marius and his grandfather is the part in the book I find saddest. I felt the bile rise a bit towards Marius, then realised that, of course, he's in character with his half-a-clueness. On a second read-through of this chapter, I can even feel sympathy for his refusal to think of the barricade deaths. I'm so loving your marvellously competant, compassionate Cosette!
