valvertTitle: Not Like a Tree Where the Roots Have to End
Author: ConstanceComment
Canon: Les Misérables
Pairing: Jean Valjean/Javert
Rating: Teen [PG]
Word Count: 11,688
Summary: It starts with two men standing on the opposite sides of a door. For the second round of the Valvert Gift Exchange, where the prompt was that Valjean doesn't play dead after saving the topman of the Orion, is subsequently pardoned for his bravery, and when Javert stands outside his door in the Gorbeau Tenements, Valjean opens the door, having nothing to hide.
Recommendation: It’s funny seeing Javert trying to come to terms with a Valjean he cannot chase, at least not to arrest. ;) The interactions between Javert and Cosette are wonderful as they are both straight talkers.
