And yeah, Javert was Christian, very much the sort of Christian I am familiar with, the ones where you must guard every thought, every action, every word. The kind where God forgives, but only if we are really repentant, and most people aren't. The kind where God forgives but church ladies don't and will shun you 20 years later for something your parents did.
It was the most Christian movie I've ever seen, and in all the right ways. It wasn't the "Scare You Into Heaven" tripe of A Thief in the Night or Left Behind. It was "Here is grace. Here is mercy. Here is love. Here is how it transforms a man." without being preachy.
Me, I'm a recovering fundamentalist gone pagan.
I was writing slash in my head, a Gladiator crossover, where the good inspector goes home to a pretty, scarred, Scottish houseman, who has been with him so long they've both gone gray.

However, now that you've raised the possibility of re-writing "Les Miz" and/or "Gladiator" to allow the pretty boys to get together in a much less poisonous atmosphere, I must say I'm intrigued.
Do, please, let me know if you come across any "kid and curtain" fics that have Javert embracing the path of grace (and the manly strength and beauty of Valjean) early in the film and helping to co-parent Cosette, for instance.
And if you ever do get around to writing a Jackman-ish character into a happier ending for Crowe's Gladiator,and making it available for others to enjoy, I'd love to read it.
After all, 'grace' and 'redemption' come in many different guises, and sexy old guys keeping house together has surely got to be one of them, right?

I'm a Maximus/Cicero shipper, and I just kind of imported him to make life a little easier for Javert.
Because everyone needs someone this pretty
I don't write fanfic any more. The professional work takes all my words. I've done a novel and a short story this month and have a couple shorts to do next month. And I'm still editing 2 novels as it is.
