Please be advised that the work below is intended for adult audiences. I prefer not to apply ratings to my work, or to give warnings that I believe would spoil the story for a new reader. I warn for explicit sex, but not for graphic violence or for language. If your maturity level is under 18 years of age, I would suggest not reading any explicitly labeled sexual short prose or the epics in progress on this site.
Born in Darkness and in Sin
Javert suicide poetry.The Dark Ones
Inspired by Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe series of fiction, set in the Napoleonic wars. Wellington himself said of his army, conscripted from the dregs of society, “They put the fear of god into me.”The Deserted Barricade
Written for Barricade Day 1998.Empty Tables
Marius mourning. The first line is taken from Killing Rasputin.To Love Is to Hate
Bitter Éponine. The first and last lines come from the song of the same title from Killing Rasputin.La Seine Takes What She Is Given
More Javert suicide poetry. A bit more modern and experimental than the first.What Have They Done?
A parody of “Valjean’s Soliloquy” written in response to the cuts made to the Broadway production in December 2000.
The phrase “Empty Chairs on crack” comes from Heather, a regular at Rue Plumet, and refers to the period in which Marius cried out “Empty Chairs” to Cosette while Valjean entered among the students in order to entirely remove the “Every Day” sequence.
