OMFG THEY USE A SPRAY BOTTLE
Pretty sure Javert was ahead of me in the Krispy Kreme drive thru today..
On a scale of 1-9

I figured it’s high time to talk about Arlene C. Harris’s Les Mis spinoff series: Pont Au-Change. I’ve already purchased and read the first two books on Amazon, and plan on buying the third one after my next paycheck! Harris has stated that she intends for the series to be as long as Hugo’s unabridged novel, with four out of six volumes already published.
PAC imagines a scenario in which Valjean rescues Javert from his suicide attempt and they go off on bizarre (totally unromantic) adventures together. Although the story centers around these two, it also introduces a slew of new characters and elaborates on the whereabouts of old ones.
Javert’s physical description sounds pretty brick-accurate plus he has grey eyes and Long Flowing Hair ™️ because why the hell not. Also, although the series focuses on Javert’s character devolpment, it also elaborates on Valjean’s tramatic past and hesitant future as he comes to terms with his sainthood and learns not to be SO GODDAM SELFLESS ALL THE TIME!!!
(P.S. This is the CLOSEST thing I’ve seen to Valvert without actually having them bang. Valjean shaves Javert while he recovers post-Seine. Javert rubs ointment onto Valjean’s bee stings like an anime girl. I AM NOT MAKING THIS SHIT UP!!!)
Overall, I really enjoyed Ms. Harris’s writing style and she seems to have a solid understanding of Hugo’s rhetorical, down to the elaborate chapter names and long-winded descriptions. I could have done without Javert’s blatant mysogyny, but hopefully this will be corrected in the later parts as he completes his redemption arc. I’ll try to review the other parts as I read them, from what I’ve seen things just keep on getting weirder!
I Watched a Les Mis Parody at my Local Theatre and Now I Can’t Stop Guffawing
Highlights
- Javert and Valjean have a telepathic connection
- Victor Hugo, Claude-Michel Schönberg and Cameron Macintosh (in a kilt) all make an appearance
- Terrible french accents
- Valjean rescues Fantine from the cart
- Javert thinking that nobody will be able to recognize him in his ‘generic blue face-mask’
- Little Cosette = grown ass woman
- Les Amis threatens to burn Javert at the stake
- Jean Valjean dies by firing squad (A.K.A a nerf gun to the chest)
- Lots of LDS jokes
- Flamboyantly gay Javert referencing 'don’t ask don’t tell’ at the barricades
- Valjean knocks Gavroche out with chloroform
- Javert yelling “I’ll get you my pretty, and your little Cosette too!” before leaping into the sewer
- Valjean sings the Forbidden Broadway parody “Bring it Down”
- The Phantom of the Opera makes a brief appearance
- Valjean ultimately pushes Javert to his death
- Fancy hat contest between Cosette, Eponine and Fantine’s ghost (with garden gnomes)
- Bishop Myriel: “You can kiss a nun, just don’t get in the habit!”
- Javert waving his cheeks in your general direction
Overall, probably worth the $30 ticket

One last glimpse of Bun!vert before he hides those glorious tresses under a wig
JavHair: An Illustrated Analysis ⭐
- a) Standard Ponytail: Bless Philip Quast for popularizing this look. Historical inaccuracy aside, it’s become his signature both onstage and in fanworks. Bonus points if he ties it with a ribbon!
- b) Braid!vert: Rumored to be a Bradley exclusive..
- c) Wrapped ponytail: I’ve only seen this style on a couple Javert’s, namely Tam Mutu and Arai’s manga-vert. Jeremy Secomb also rocked it in the 2015 London production^^
- d) Loose hair: Another common look for post-barricade Javert. Michael Ball had the front pulled back with a cute little bow, so I went with that style!
- e) Curly!vert: So far I’ve only seen these pretty ringlets on the likes of Jérôme Pradon, Hayden Tee and Drew Sarich but there could be other examples. Sebastiao Saramago (French Javert) also had very nice natural curls (ꈍᴗꈍ)
- f) Bun!vert: Bun-vert needs no introduction. I’ve seen a range, from high messy buns to half-updos. So far I only know of Bradley’s, PLEASE contact me if there’s info on any others!
Don’t get me wrong, I am quite partial to clean-cut Javerts with shorter hair (here’s looking at you, Earl). I grew up more accustomed to this style, having grown up with Crowe!vert and a handful of well-kempt Javerts at my local theatre (good ol’ Utah) before I was introduced to the glory of Philip Quast and the West End. I’ve also seen some hott mulletverts, and Roland Karl (French concert Javert) made bald!vert EXTREMELY sexy. Let me know which look is your favorite!
Inktober Javert.
