Rec of the day
I was feeling under the weather yesterday and did practically nothing but read this Les Mis time loop fic. Full of drama and tension and at times pretty bleak... the time loop as purgatory. The story is really long (90k) and I thought the middle 5-10k dragged maybe a leetle bit, but then again not being in the fandom I'm not that invested in the characters themselves... though in the end I really cared for them all, especially her Javert (superb character development) and I couldn't put it down.
(It's book canon but I never read the brick myself, only saw the musical and I could follow along fine.)

Javert/Valjean and ensemble; genre: time loop/AU; rated M; ~95,000 words
Summary: After his leap into the Seine, Javert finds himself back in Montreuil-sur-Mer on the morning of his first appointment with M. Madeleine. He soon discovers that while his choices can change the outcome of things, nothing can stop death from delivering him back to that same morning.
Now he has to defeat the game of fate or keep returning to 1820, eternally dying without finding peace.
