Age of Sail Despatches #79

[sharpiefan]

Note from the Editor: Agh. I have been a bad, bad fan. *hangs head* Still, here's a very belated edition of Despatches - I hope it will make up for my (much-needed) hiatus.

Fanfic:
The Wedding Dress by mmejavert; Les Miserables; NC-17; Enjolras/Grantaire; AU: les Amis survive the barricade and a tenuous republic is overthrown by the Pear and the royalists; les Amis are exiled from Paris. Les Amis are convening in Marseilles after several years of being apart on their own missions since leaving Paris, but all is not well between Enjolras and Grantaire.
