Montparnasse: *kisses Claquesous's neck*
Claquesous: What was that?
Montparnasse: It's called affection.
Claquesous: Disgusting.
Claquesous: ....
Claquesous: Do it again.

I’m adopting Fauntleroy and nobody can stop me

  • “Fauntleroy” = excessively well-mannered and elaborately dressed young man
  • Other identity: “Bouquetière” = feminine form of flower seller/flower girl
  • Genderfluid, usually uses they/them unless they feel super strongly in a gender that day
  • Smol and quiet, gets defensive easily, kind of withdrawn around anyone but close friends
  • Might stab you if misgendered, tread lightly
  • Got kicked out of their house before they turned 18; worked on the street before Patron-Minette picked them up and offered them a better gig collecting information
  • Roommates with Glorieux, Brujon, and Bizarro
  • Usually the one who doesn’t get caught and has to bail out the rest of their roommates because the other three are a mess
  • Actually takes bets on which one will get arrested first and for what (safe bet is Brujon on first but for what is a toss-up)
  • Has borrowed everyone’s clothes at least once, often without asking
  • Works a lot of seasonal jobs now, too
  • Favorite seasonal job: feather rose seller at the Renaissance Faire
  • Actually met Jehan at said Faire without either of them realizing the other was associated with Montparnasse, they happened to just click, it was great
  • They meet up for brunch on Sundays
  • Jehan & Faun, it’s cute
  • Fauntleroy bakes a lot, and Jehan has a huge collection of teas, and they trade gossip and recipes
  • Montparnasse trying to introduce Jehan to the whole of PM resulted in a lot more hugs and squealing than originally intended because no one had realized that Jehan and Fauntleroy knew each other, but now they should have seen that happening sooner, they’re so similar
  • Also no one had ever heard Fauntleroy squeal before??? They’re able to make a noise that loud???
  • “Is Faun here? I brought hibiscus tea.”
  • “Is Jehan here? I made scones.”
  • They both get together for witch stuff and seances, and Parnasse is having none of it.

Since you are taking prompts, let's have some characters that would ordinarily never meet. So, Joly being his usual sunshine self at Geuelemer, extra bonus points for jewellery being somehow involved :)

Avatar

Second handjewellery stores are a guilty pleasure for Joly. Well, maybe not that guiltyactually. He especially likes buying presents and that’s what he’s after today.Courfeyrac has been complaining about not being able to find a locket that hasroom for three pictures instead of two and it just so happens Joly found oneduring his latest session of browsing jeweller’s websites. He’s never been tothis shop though and it’s in a really out of the way part of town. Still, thatmakes it better, nothing like finding a new treasure trove.

When hesteps into the store there’s someone at the counter already. He’s so tall andbroad he obscures the sales clerk from Joly’s view completely.

“It’s onlyeight carat,” he hears the clerk say. “Some people don’t even call that gold.”

“Don’tmatter,” the big man grunts. “It’s good craftsmanship, it will sell.”

“Fine, I’llsee what I can do,” the clerk sighs. “But only cause we’re friends, Gueulemer.”

Hedisappears to the backroom and Joly steps up to the counter. “Good afternoon!”he says cheerfully.

The mannamed Gueulemer gives him a slightly startled stare. Perhaps he’s not used tobeing spoken to uninvited. He does look rather intimidating with his leathercoat and black dreads, but somehow he reminds Joly a little of Bahorel andthere’s certainly no reason not to be friendly to him.

“Hi,”Gueulemer answers eventually, looking down at Joly.

“Here tosell something, I see,” Joly says pleasantly. He hopes it’s not something ofparticular emotional value, but that would be invasive to ask.

Gueulemernods, still looking rather puzzled at Joly’s attempt at conversation.

“Well, Ihope you get a good price for it,” Joly smiles.

BeforeGueulemer can answer, if he was even going to answer, the clerk comes back. “Afternoon,”he says, nodding at Joly, and then turns back to Gueulemer. “Sorry man, this isthe best I can do.” He hands him a receipt.

Joly thinksthe other man doesn’t look very impressed with the figure, but not surprisedeither. “Sure,” he shrugs and he accepts a couple of bills in exchange for whateverit was he came here to sell.

“Pleasuredoing business with you,” the clerk grins.

Gueulemerhums and steps aside to make room for Joly, but he doesn’t leave. Instead heleans against the counter and watches as Joly gives the clerk a bright smile.

“I’ve cometo see the three piece gold locket on your website,” he says cheerfully. “Ithink it’s exactly what a friend of mine has been looking for.”

“Well it’san exquisite piece,” the clerk says smilingly. “Let me get it for you.” Hecomes back with the locket on a long chain. He holds it out to Joly.

“It’ssmaller than I had pictured it,” Joly says, taking it carefully. “But it’sbeautiful!” There’s no engraving on it, but the little clasp is elegant and itflips open to reveal three little oval frames to fit a picture into.

While he’sexamining it Gueulemer seems to move his head in a way that indicates he wantsto see, so Joly immediately holds it out for him.

“It’s in verygood condition I think!” Joly says excitedly. He’s certain Courfeyrac will likeit.

“Hm,”Gueulemer nods and he leans back again.

“Oh it’s awonderful piece,” the clerk says emphatically. “And it’ll make a wonderfulpresent.”

“I think sotoo,” Joly agrees. “I’ll take it. How much is it?”

“Well,considering the gold-” the clerk begins with a smile, but Guelemer cuts himoff:

“- it willbe very reasonably priced.”

The clerkblinks and Joly looks at him curiously.

Gueulemeris smiling, but there’s something amused and challenging in the upturned cornerof his mouth. “Since it’s only eight carat,” he says, fixing his eyes on theclerk. “Some people don’t even callthat gold.” He looks sideways at Joly. “It’s a good find.”

“Yes…” theclerk says stiffly. “Well…”

Joly wasn’tgoing to haggle, he never does, but he’s pretty sure the price that the clerkgives him is a lot lower than it was going to be. While he’s paying, Gueulemersaunters away from the counter.

“You don’twant it gift wrapped do you?” the clerk asks.

“Oh no,”Joly says cheerfully. “That’s alright.” He likes wrapping his gifts himself. He’shad a silver bow with Courfeyrac’s name all over it lying around the house forages.

“Well, hereyou go, have a nice day,” the clerk sighs.

“Thank you!”Joly chimes. “And a wonderful day to you!”

He turnsaround, but to Joly’s surprise and disappointment Gueulemer managed to slip outof the store without him even hearing the door. How strange, and now he won’t evenget to thank him. Pity. Well, it’s a good story at least. Presents are alwaysbetter when they come with a good story. Joly can’t wait to see Courfeyrac’s face.

Soft spot headcanon - Claquesous- 

Crows. Misunderstood, like himself. 

If one of his morning crows is missing he instantly feels off. Crows re his friends, even if they wake him up at his window every morning. 

Favorite possession headcanon- Brujon-

Crows and Claquesous had many things in common; love for pretty things, a penchant for thievery and mischief, cloaked in blackness… It was no wonder all the crows in the city seemed to flock to his apartment, waiting for him every day to toss out seeds and the occasional shiny trinkets.

There was one thing the birds did not have in common with him, however. Claquesous was silent, stealthy. These birds had no concept of volume, taking it upon themselves to be his own personal alarm clock at 7 AM sharp each day until they got their daily meal.

He grunted, managing to drag himself out of bed to head into the kitchen pantry to get the bird seed, His own African Grey Parrot, a gift from Babet, whistled at him in greeting from her big cage across the hall. 

“Good morning! Good morning!

The bird didn’t have a name; it seemed fitting, seeing as he lacked one himself. (Guelemer took advantage of this, addressing her by different types of birds whenever he came over. “Hey, flamingo!” or “What’s going on, toucan?”) He didn’t think of her as a pet, either; more like a companion. A familiar. He brought in a small bowl of seeds and nuts to her, leaving her cage door open before walking back to his bedroom window, pulling it open and scattering more seeds onto the ground below.

The birds swarmed down in a black mass, cawing and chirping as they snacked on their breakfast. Meanwhile, Claquesous went to his dresser, opening a large jewelry chest and scanning over his prizes. Pearl necklaces, diamond earrings- ah, there we go. He selected a silver broach, green emeralds glistening in the center. He set it on the ledge of the open window and waited.

Moments later, a large, jet black crow swooped up, landing gracefully on the windowsill and staring down Claquesous. They gazed into each other’s eyes for a few seconds. A mutual understanding. Then, the bird turned its attention to the broach, collecting it in its beak and flying off into the morning sky.

Claquesous couldn’t help but crack a smile.

claquesous being a witch and guelemer being like "???? what's this how does this work wh-"

“What’s this?” 

Without turning round Claquesous just says “That’s a hex bag, dear, if you touch it your teeth may fall out.” They let out a satisfied chuckle as he heard the hexbag fall to the floor, indicating Guelemer had dropped it.

“So what do you do with it all?”

Claquesous rolled their eyes. “I make fairies appear and send them to people’s houses to fix their shoes. What do you THINK I do with it we are criminals.

Guelemer picked up Claquesous’ mask. “So this thing….”

Claq felt their breath hitch. That really WAS precious to them. “Please be careful with the ‘Mer. That’s incredibly powerful.”

“What does it do?”

“It’s a mask. It hides my face.”

“No I mean - magic wise.” 

“It makes people forget they saw me. when I’m wearing it of course.”

There was a tense silence where Claquesous debated pulling their mask from Guelemer’s clumsy hands. The silence was broken.

“So can I try it on?”

Claquesous lunged forwards with a shout of “No!” but Guelemer just laughed.

“Man, I’m messing with you.” He handed the mask carefully back to Claquesous who glared at him.

“I could kill you with any of these spells. You should be terrified of me.”

Guelemer just raised his eyebrows. “Don’t be an idiot you take 6 sugars in your coffee. I take my coffee black. You should be terrified of Me.

I hope this was ok!!! Love you!!!!! I haven’t written PM before but this was super fun and I want to get better!!!

anything with gueulemer and brujon?

“No, no, you’re doing it wrong- you go like this.” 

Brujon took a long drag of his cigarette, holding the smoke in his mouth for a beat. Then, his lips parted, sending the smoke upward and into his nose. Guelemer watched in fascination as the smoke came pouring back out of his mouth.

“Seriously, that’s fucking weird.” The larger of the two scoffed, shaking his head and leaning back. They were both sitting on the roof of Guelemer’s apartment building, just a few inches from the edge. They had just gotten home from a job, both of them drenched in sweat, (and some blood) and neither of them were even slightly tired. Brujon decided to pass the time by attempting to teach Gueu some smoke tricks.

“It’s not hard.” he muttered in reply. “Anyone with a brain can do it.” 

Guelemer simply puffed at his own cigarette, the insult seeming to go right over his head. He opened his mouth into an “O” shape, letting out small rings of smoke into the night air.

“That’s easy.”

“Fuck off, man, it’s not a contest.” 

They were both silent for another few minutes. They wouldn’t admit it aloud, at least not tonight, but they were enjoying one another’s company. Guelemer let out a sigh, flicking his ashes over the edge.

“Sun’s gonna rise soon.” he mused.

“Shit, you’re right. I’m still not fucking tired.” Brujon ran a hand through his thick hair, his feet dangling off the side of the building. Looking down, he realized all he would have to do to send himself tumbling was scoot forward another few inches. 

The feeling gave him a rush.

Finally, Guelemer stood, letting out a groan as he stretched. (Brujon visibly winced at a loud pop his joints made.)

“I’m gonna shower, you can crash here or go home, doesn’t matter.” He put out the cigarette, tossing it off the edge.

“I think I’ll stay here,”

Date a man of mystery. Date a man who lives in the shadows. Date a man whose stomach speaks more frequently than his voice. Date a man who is always wearing a mask, so that no one is sure if he even has a face. Date a man who disappears as though he has vanished into thin air, and when he appears, it’s as though he sprang from the earth. Date a ventriloquist. Date Claquesous.

Claquesous: In case you haven’t noticed, I’m weird. I’m a weirdo. I don’t “fit in” and I don’t WANT to fit in. Have you ever seen me without this stupid mask on? That's weird.
