wow okay apparently my headlong fall into love for the Amis was kind of inevitable once I learned about them and their cause and all that?

see, today I got reminded of a comment I left more than a year ago on a fic in my previous fandom (one of my very favourite fics in the entire fandom). Check out the following excerpt from my comment:

but anyway my POINT IS, it's tragic to think of them dying in the course of their attempts to change the world, make the world a better place, right, and for a moment when I finished this fic I was devastated to think that was what was going to happen next, but then -- somehow this fic also makes it all okay, because even if they die, even if they die the fight doesn't die with them. They were a part of something larger than themselves, a whole world of people saying fuck you to the people in charge's idea of what life should be, and they will make it, even if the they aren't around to see it. And that's beautiful.

all I did to that excerpt was edit out the names of the protagonists and of the group of people in charge, and all of a sudden BAM it's like I'm writing about Les Miserables
