Hey, your Inspector Javert and the Empire of Death fic has been giving me all the feels for a while now (you know: sad, sadder, weepy, Valjean is the saddest, tenderly hopeful, voyeuristic/guilty whipping fascination, & so sweet I can’t handle it - the usual feels). ^_^ There’s a song I keep coming back to for this story’s Valjean, especially we see him toward the beginning. In case you haven’t heard it, I thought I’d share as a token of my appreciation: Benjamin Clementine’s Cornerstone (also available on soundcloud).
(Oh, and it contains the line “who am I / what have I done / what have I done,” which means that my applying it to Valjean is just shamelessly self-indulgent.)
THANK YOU for all the fic.

reblog if you’re the bisexual cousin
Thanks, it’s nice to get some more insight into the background, especially since I didn’t get to see Ramin’s Les Mis even once. (I did think I’d heard a gentler version that I preferred. But this seems incredibly intense, almost angry in one part, and it’s good to know that that might have been a particular reaction to Kyle.)
For the whole evening after I’d heard about Kyle’s death, I was wondering how Ramin and the rest of the cast were performing that day. Bring Him Home was stuck in my head through the next day, and I didn’t realize why for ages. :/ I’m glad he acknowledged the particular poignancy of that song, on that stage, with the lyric change that day. Although picturing it, I wonder how the rest of the cast kept it together. :/
thanks for reblogging that bring him home with the line change for Kyle Jean-Baptiste. very sad now, but glad to have heard it. do you feel like there was a difference in how he sang the rest of the piece from how he normally does?
Well, at the time I didn’t know that anything was wrong at all, and since then so much happened that I’m not quite certain of my recollections anymore? I remember now that I was really confused by him changing that line and wondered why he had messed up the lyrics after singing them thousands of times, but I literally forgot that had happened until someone else found that in my audio of it. I do remember that it was an amazing show, but at the time I thought it was just that, everyone doing their best and doing an amazing job on stage. :/ And while there are loots of boots where I feel like Ramin is overdoing it in BHH (it’s a prayer, after all, no need to shout it), everytime I’ve heard it in that final week he’d toned it down and sang it gently and with feeling. But this version and his final BHH are definitely the most emotional versions I’ve ever heard him sing.
that awkward moment when your group is doing a trust exercise and you’re doing everything your partner asks of you and you realize it kind of feels like that fic you read about service submission
