I was talking to Jess about my (annoying) attraction to, as Pyrrha puts it in Nona The Ninth, ‘landmine people’ (“some people were put into the world to rig it to explode, then walk away...I always fell for that”) -- I (and maybe she) specifically mean people who are willing to fuck up the status quo without much chance they’ll live to see the result

(this was in response to Jess talking about ....basically wanting to change society, violently if necessary, and me being very Grantaire at them about it, which is how it always has gone with us: they are very much the Enjolras.)

Anyway, I feel like this designation makes sense for me even if ‘Saint of saints’ is pretty funny for a queer agnostic to get

: This makes sense to me for Teddy and reminds me of the God AU. Patron saint of the life that flows through our bodies. Patron Saint of violence. Patron saint of love. Something that does not watch over but exists within; not for protection but vitality.

this is probably the best matched of the three. OBVIOUSLY this is Cam. Palamedes works with and understands relics: Camilla is quite literally a reliquary.

Patron saint of holding something close. Patron saint of holding on for too long. || “I don’t let go. It’s my one thing.”
MY HEART.
