Note from the Editor: HOW late? I am sorry! Won't be so late next time!

Fanfic:
What It Really Is - Interlude #1 by mmejavert; Les Miserables/OTC; PG13; Grantaire, Jack Sparrow; July, 1832. Grantaire can't live in France anymore, and sets off to see the world, taste new kinds of alcohol, and try to forget. An unforgettable and irrepressible pirate captain crosses his path and helps him with that...
