“[Javert was] a spy of the first quality, who had observed everything, listened to everything, heard everything, and recollected everything, believing he was about to die; who spied even in his death throes, and who, leaning on the first step of the grave, had taken notes.”—les misérables, victor hugo

“When Jean Valjean, on the evening of the very day when Javert had arrested him beside Fantine’s death-bed, had escaped from the town jail of M. sur M., the police had supposed that he had betaken himself to Paris. Paris is a maelstrom where everything is lost, and everything disappears in this belly of the world, as in the belly of the sea. No forest hides a man as does that crowd. Fugitives of every sort know this. They go to Paris as to an abyss; there are gulfs which save. The police know it also, and it is in Paris that they seek what they have lost elsewhere. They sought the ex-mayor of M. sur M. Javert was summoned to Paris to throw light on their researches. Javert had, in fact, rendered powerful assistance in the recapture of Jean Valjean. Javert’s zeal and intelligence on that occasion had been remarked by M. Chabouillet, secretary of the Prefecture under Comte Angles. M. Chabouillet, who had, moreover, already been Javert’s patron, had the inspector of M. sur M. attached to the police force of Paris. There Javert rendered himself useful in divers and, though the word may seem strange for such services, honorable manners.”—

Victor Hugo, Les Miserables, Chapter X, Book 5


I’M LAUGHING SO HARD, OH MY GOD

VALJEAN IS THE ENTIRE REASON JAVERT GOT TRANSFERRED TO PARIS

Therefore, Valjean is indirectly responsible for Javert getting a promotion. Which is fucking hilarious, because if we rewind a few books to when Javert was trying to get himself dismissed, we get this line from Valjean (Then the mayor):

“Javert, you deserve promotion instead of degradation.”

AND VALJEAN ACCIDENTALLY GETS HIM PROMOTED

I’M CRYING
