IN THE TROPICS... PLS

Summary: Venice, 1845. Carnevale. James Fitzjames is at a private masked ball in his prettiest gown and an elaborate red wig. Where he meets a stranger with a soft brogue, who makes a very specific request.

This is for the prodigiously talented and generous @corinthes​, who gave me three dizzyingly wonderful prompts for the James Fitzjames Birthday Extravanganza. I do not deserve you.

Excerpt below the cut.

Yes, yes he was.

i am SO glad that he was recasted in broadway 2016 where a proper master was in residence, at least we have video. mark was stern but still warm. he’s a toucher, he keeps touching people all throughout the show, from the cafe scenes to the barricade scenes. 

i like how in the cafe scene you can clearly see the aha! moment when he realizes that lamarque’s death gave them the best time to start the revolt. he places his hands on the sides of gavroche’s face as if to say, “eureka, you are a godsend.”

can u write terror fic btw

dude seriously, this post is a goddamn breath of fresh air! i don’t care if people hated tlj but it’s just super necessary and tbh obnoxious to post about how much they hated it 25 times a day

for real, though!

like, I understand that a lot of people had really intense emotional reactions to TLJ (whether positive or negative), but I really expected everybody to mellow out eventually.

and I think we were getting there, after a couple of months -- but then the DVD came out and everybody rewatched TLJ and the antis got pissed off again. by the end of the year, I hope things settle down.

the fervor is mind-boggling to me. like -- you hate this movie (probably bc it didn’t conform to the script you’d already written in your head, let’s be real), so you... talk about it every single day?? think about it constantly??
