Valvert Gift Exchange | Round 2
Prompt No. 50: something with javert’s long hair appreciation. involving valjean. art fill is preferable.
Rating: PG I guess? (Brief implied nudity—pretty sure Disney’s Little Mermaid was racier) 

Set during the M-sur-M time period, when Javert is still unaware who Monsieur Madeleine is (so warning for all that implies).  

Possibly I should apologize for the ending as well—honestly, I started with some fluffy hairporn, went looking for some scratch music with a simple, languid tone, and really liked this Todsharow piece which ended up having this 15 second deflation, which.. consequently kind of directed the denouement there.  

By request, a re-upload of my Valjean/Javert animatic, since it sounds like the youtube embed in the original post has been wonky and/or deleted..?

Les Misérables 2.5.10

Javert was afraid of being deprived of his convict.

Thank you Victor Hugo.

Javert had demanded assistance at the Prefecture, but he had not mentioned the name of the individual whom he hoped to seize; that was his secret, and he had kept it for three reasons: in the first place, because the slightest indiscretion might put Jean Valjean on the alert; next, because, to lay hands on an ex-convict who had made his escape and was reputed dead, on a criminal whom justice had formerly classed forever as among malefactors of the most dangerous sort, was a magnificent success which the old members of the Parisian police would assuredly not leave to a new-comer like Javert, and he was afraid of being deprived of his convict; and lastly, because Javert, being an artist, had a taste for the unforeseen. He hated those well-heralded successes which are talked of long in advance and have had the bloom brushed off. He preferred to elaborate his masterpieces in the dark and to unveil them suddenly at the last.

Victor Hugo on Javert, Les Misérables (via anything-but-one-straight-line)

(Source: a-maniac-and-a-queen, via autumngracy)

Before him he saw two roads, both equally straight; but he did see two; and that terrified him–he who had never in his life known anything but one straight line. And, bitter anguish, these two roads were contradictory.

Les Miserables: Conversion, Revolution, Redemption by Kathryn M. Grossman (via mightbebeautiful)

(via thunderofthelaw)

Of course, Javert is very much moved in the end, with the revelation of Jean Valjean’s sublime qualities. But while Marius responds to the same discovery by trying to make amends, Javert commits suicide. Having abandoned his own quest to bring the outlaw to justice, the policeman triggers a series of reflections that flesh out his psychological profile. The man with no inner life is amazed to find that he has “under [his] breast of bronze something preposterous and disobedient that almost resembles a heart” (1325). He has learned to understand, to empathize with, and therefore to care about another.
In consequence, he has rendered good for good without any regard to external factors. Perhaps most puzzling, he has been able “to sacrifice duty, that general obligation, to personal motives, and to feel in these personal motives something general too, and perhaps superior” (1320). Public affairs have yielded to personal concerns of equal, if not greater, weight. The dichotomy between the particular and the general has suddenly dissolved, as private emotions have become invested with the sense of universal value previously reserved for the legal code.


This capacity for discerning and affirming a unique identity brings not joy and liberation but terror and disorientation: “Javert’s ultimate anguish was  the loss of all certainty. He felt uprooted. The code was no longer anything but a stump in his hand… . Within him there was a revelation of feeling entirely distinct from the declarations of the law; his only standard hitherto” (1323).
