Paris Breaking

Another fan art of Citysmith's Les Mis AU fanfic, 'Paris Burning', where Grantaire's the personification of Paris: archiveofourown.org/works/8251…

It's a scene from Chapter 13 at the barricades, with Grantaire blaming himself for the people not rising to revolution. For those familiar with the barricades scene of Les Mis, yeah... happy times not happening. But this was such an emotional scene I really wanted to try and do my take on it, bring it to life. I went for pencil since I thought a sketchy look would suit it better, but hey, any crit/feedback's appreciated.

Here's what Citysmith wrote for this scene (all writing/story credit goes to her, I just drew this!):

Then Enjolras was forced to watch as Grantaire’s sanity shredded in front of him.

“Then…” Grantaire’s voice trembled. “Then it’s all my fault. I’ve destroyed everything you’ve been working for. Me and my drink, me and my cynicism.” He grabbed the sides of his head desperately. “No, it can’t end like this. Come on, believe! Believe!” He tore at himself, nails raking the side of his head.

“Grantaire! Grantaire!” Enjolras grabbed his hands before he could do anymore damage. “Stop!”

Grantaire, not Paris, looked at him with eyes that were overflowing with tears. “I’ve killed you.”
