Daily Entertainment, Songfic Edition!

[damncompass]

Happy Friday, everyone! I hope you're all as excited for the weekend as I am. (Or at least excited for the next three days if you don't have a weekend per se.)

In honor of #ficfriday, I'm just going to throw out an oldie but goodie.

Song Prompts! Post in with your characters, and other muns can comment, either with a specific lyric, or something from a playlist on shuffle. Write a short (whatever you deem to be short, probably 2-5 sentance) fic based on the lyric.

Have at! <3

I keep meaning to get a list of Les Amis and photos of their actors and work out who is who. I've got Combeferre, Courfeyrac, obviously E and G, and I think Joly, but the rest are harder and I'm fairly sure not all of the ones in the movie have canon names.

Oh, there's all KINDS of that if you're looking. :D Apart from Grantaire shamelessly trolling Enjolras in Red and Black, which isn't really background but is hilarious, there's Combeferre objecting to letting the newcomer waltz off with their prisoner and Gavroche punching the air when Marius comes back and declares he's going to fight. And, apparently although I can't hear it, someone in the sniper scene says "No, Grantaire, your OTHER right."

Heh. I can help with that! :D I have faceplanted ridiculously into this fandom, and hanging out in certain quadrants of tumblr gets you familiar with the obscure line-less movie!Amis pretty quickly. If you like, I can try to remember when I'm home to grab a list and pictures for you. All the canonical ones are in the movie, but they don't all have lines and you have to know who they are to spot them (and Bahorel and Bossuet in particular are really hard to find a lot of the time). And of course there are background extras who don't line up to anyone named, too.

Heee! I hadn't heard that sniper scene line, and I love it. The barricade boys clearly had LOTS OF FUN with everything, and I for one am delighted by all of it.

That would be great! :D If you can't, I shall go and hunt out these corners of tumblr for myself.

Absolutely! I've watched the movie far too many times and I never get tired of it.

Oh, and there's one particular change in wording that amuses me. Enjolras' line in the show is "A game for rich young boys to play" (yes, I know the show word for word). In the movie, it's "for a rich young boy to play", and he's looking straight at Marius.
