A/N: Thank you so much for everyone who reviewed and read the first set of drabbles! Last week of classes before the break! *dances* Come Saturday I will finally have time to answer everyone who reviewed. In the meantime, here is another set of three drabbles (because naturally the easiest fic writing occurs when I'm supposed to be working on that ten page research essay, lol), this time for three characters I have never written for: Marius, Eponine, and Gavroche. Hopefully they seem true to character.

Same format as before, with the prompts and the character name next to it and each drabble is 100 words exactly. And yes, these prompts are from Ani-Maniac494's lj christianfanfic site again, taken from last year's prompts. :) Enjoy!

Word prompts:

greenery - Marius

lights –Eponine

Nativity - Gavroche

"For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."

- Isaiah 9:6, NKJ.

Marius

Christmas morn dawned cloudy and gray. Marius was lost in thought, the invisible knife in his gut twisting because he could not remember celebrating this day with his parents, especially his father. The great man Marius never knew because of a lie.

He bowed his head, a stomach roiling, hands clenching into fists.

"Marius!" A fist thumped on the door. "We're meeting at Café Musain to celebrate. Want to come?" It was Courfeyrac.

Perhaps he missed the greenery and festivity of the mansion, but it was far better to spend the day among his friends than in the past.

"Coming!"

Eponine

The snow chilled her bare toes, making her walk faster, holding her ragged shawl tighter. She sped inside the Café Musain, joining the Les Amis who, like her, had no family to celebrate with.

"Here, Eponine," Marius handed her a pair of worn shoes. To her they were like the cinder girl's fairy tale glass slippers. "I found these for you."

"He got me a pair too!" Gavroche cried, proudly showing her the worn, but hole-free shoes.

"Couldn't have you running around barefoot, you rascal!"

The light of the candles dimmed next to Marius' smile.

She put on the shoes.

Gavroche

The other members of Les Amis watched in amusement as he paraded up and down showing them his new shoes.

Gavroche remembered passing the Nativity at the cathedral earlier and overhearing a priest say, "Unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon his shoulder."

He reckoned it wasn't Enjolras the priest meant, but certainly sounded like the golden leader. Enjolras and his friends—Gavroche's friends—were going to change the world. The people were angry; they would rise against the king and his government.

"Vive le France!"

The Amis raised their glasses, shouting, "Vive le France!"

Thanks for reading. :D

Joyeux Noël!
