Enjolras and his one true love, FRANCE. Or Patria. However you want to call her.

I believe he somehow met her after his death at the barricade... at least, she was the one he died for, right?

So, here's Enjolras and France/Patria. LOVE :heart:


(I HAVE A BIG, BIG PROBLEM. I LOVE ENJY, BUT HE'S NOT IN LOVE. I DON'T HAVE ANY PAIRING! ANY OTP! God. Someone help me. I don't like shipping him with Grantaire, because I'm sure they were best friends, BROS, you know. WHAT AM I GONNA DO?!)

Credits go to: Victor Hugo, Aaron Tveit (for borrowing his face xd), Tom Hooper (for making Aaron Tveit an Enjolras) and :iconla-chapeliere-folle: (the style).

being French in the 1830s, he's probably Catholic. I'm willing to bet Enjy's a total Joan of Arc fanboy, almost to the point of romantic obsession. but then, he's asexual, isn't he?

Beautiful! France/Enjy FOREVER! Yes, I think she was the one who brought him (and everyone else) to his ultimate dream barricade....although I do have some other, more sad headcanons surrounding their relationship as well. Lovely pic!

Oh my, where should I start...:D
I am such a nerd
-I think Enjy lost his real mum at an early age and so went on to identify with France as a whole as like his mother...since he proudly tells Marius after a debate, "Citizen, my mother is the Republic.) This probably would have caused him to leave his rich family in southern France to go to Paris and become the firebrand we know him as. Apparently there wasn't as much bad blood between him and his family (unlike Marius and his Grandpa) since he doesn't seem as poor as Marius and can afford shiny xylophone vests. *shot*

-(The sad headcanon warning) France killed him. [link]
She loved him too, but she didn't want a staunch, madly idealistic person like him to turn into someone like Robespierre if the revolution succeeded, and if it failed, it would do him no good to live and become one of those senile veterans who are seemingly stuck in the ideal world inside their heads....so it was better in a way for him to die like he was, dramatic and brutal and beautiful, just like a Delacroix painting or Greek sculpture, and in dying he immortalized himself to his executors as "Apollo" and (accordiing to Hugo) the image stayed with them for years because he was just that pretty

longpostsorry.notsorry. Anyway, those are two of my main headcanons, besides some silly minor ones. XD Hope you enjoyed. Tell me some of yours!

This is absolutely amazing! I like the first one, but the second one is just perfect :heart:
Okay, where I SHOULD start.. xd

In my mind Enjolras refered to one girl as `Patria`. It wasn't her name, though, she was Flo (or something like this xd) and she was the only woman he ever loved. He met her one day in the marketplace. She was a rich girl, with rich parents and rich house, but she was kind and helped poor people. Enjolras didn't seem to realise that she was a woman... in his mind she was France, just from the moment he met her. She was the personification of his country and he didn't think about her like a man thinks about woman. That's why all his friends said that he hadn't got any lover. She didn't mind being `his own France`, but soon it became too hard for her and she tried to tell him so, but one day when she came to the barricade and saw him confident and all about what he was going to do, she didn't want him to suffer and she stayed that way. That was until she built another barricade with other people and Enjolras found out. He made two of his friends go to her barricade and tell her he was dead, just to save her. They told her so, and she believed. They also told her that she and other people who were fighting should leave the barricade. She stayed there, and fought until the end. And then all barricades fell except of Enjolras' one (we know his barricade was the only one left in the end).

And then Hugo's story appears again :)

Another interesting headcann! Slightly more happier than mine, heh.

I also had another head-story, that's a bit of a crossover since in Hetalia there's a comic in which France (the personification, who is male), after the execution of Jeanne d'Arc, wishes how she could be born again to live a peaceful life in another time, and centuries later runs into a modern girl who looks just like her living happily and gets all emotional about it... I think the genderbent version of that one would be of France and Enjolras (who isn't technically a historical figure but who cares.) It would be cool to see how she would react, seeing a modern reincarnation of him and the rest of the Amis, living happily and all hanging out together just as if nothing had happened...

Finally, someone else who drew some Enjolras/Patria! (I agree with the friendship thing for Enjolras and Grantaire, although considering Enjolras's reaction to him in the book, a friendship probably didn't happen until after the barricade).

I like Enjolras / Patria, I don't understand why people never draw them... Anyway, I know what you mean. Grantaire admired and loved Enjolras (it's in the book!), but I don't think it's supposed to be a romantic love. He probably loved Enjolras as a leader and friend, and he admired him, because he himself couldn't achieve what Enjolras achieved, he couldn't be similar to him, they were so different. I think all Les Amis de l'ABC were very close to each other, because things like uprisings, wars, rebellions etc. make people unite. And they were friends, so it's not weird at all that Grantaire, even if he didn't believe in revolution, wanted to die by Enjolras' side. I'm sure that if I was supposed to be killed in a uprising or something, my friend would want to die with me, too (she told me so xd).

I think it is because Enjolras is more in love with the idea of France, and people aren't fans of drawing France as a female. I've seen some fanfics/pictures where Enjolras uses the term "Patria" as a term of endearment (usually Enjolras/Eponine shippers), but who would be flattered being called the motherland, even if they knew Monsieur Enjolras? :XD: Also, I think that drawing him in any romantic relationship while he is alive is out of character (for those of us who like having our characters acting as they did in Hugo's novel).

As for Grantaire, I agree with you. Grantaire admired and cared for Enjolras, that goes without saying. I could have those feelings for one of my best friends of the opposite gender, but that doesn't mean I am in love with them. Les Amis had to be close to eachother. Look at their reactions to the death of Jean Prouvaire. They are all shocked by his passing not only because he was the first (and the ruthlessness of the National Guard) but because they had lost a dear friend in the process.

I actually do ship Enjorlas with Grantaire but for me it's more one sided, like Grantaire is hopelessly in love with Enjorlas but Enjorlas is too focused on his love for Patria to notice anything else going on around him.
