Archived fic rec - Silence is the Speech of Love

Title: Silence is the Speech of Love

Author: lady_ragnell

Fandom: Les Miserables

Rating: NC-17

Pairing: Grantaire/Enjolras, background Marius/Cosette/Courfeyrac

Warnings: explicit sex (gay), background dubcon (love magic), discussion of self-harm and suicidal ideation, blasphemy, angst

Other notes: alternate universe, pagan religion, curses, supernatural, character disability, unrequited love, worldbuilding

Length: 50k

Summary: Grantaire’s life has a pattern: he pays his respects to Aphrodite, he goes to work, he loves Enjolras and provokes him because he can’t bring himself to do otherwise. That seems unlikely to change, at least until Enjolras speaks out against the gods and ends up cursed. Grantaire does his best to help him, but it turns out it’s just as hard to love Enjolras up close as it is from afar.
