Got the request “Combeferre and Courfeyrac being idiots” on IG so here’s a doodle of them!
here, have a Courferre doodle, the dumbass and dumbass but smart dynamic is one I like a lot so yeahhhhh..
okay so it’s pretty commonly accepted fanon that courfeyrac is a romantic person and probably a sucker for cliches while combeferre is more pragmatic so I like the idea that he buys combeferre flowers and cooks dinner all the time and stuff and combeferre adores him for it but isnt /super/ romantically inclined himself so one day he’s like :( babe :( I’m sorry I never do anything romantic for you and courfeyrac is like “???? !!!!! babe Ur always designated driver and u always let me pick the cheesy romcom on date night and read me books when I can’t sleep what are u talking abt!!!” and like from an outside perspective ppl would think courfeyrac is ‘carrying’ the relationship or whatever but courfeyrac knows all of combeferres little expressions of love that no one else would get :,)
I am so not done with all these memes, stop me for your own good
i love thinking about courfeyrac who is smooth af when it comes to flirting with strangers he finds attractive but with combeferre he’s like “ferre! you look pants! i mean...no, i meant to say, you look nice! no no no that wasn’t right. wait, no, you do look nice, but i meant to say your pants look nice, but they would look better on...you know what? never mind. i have to talk to enjolras right now it’s an emergency so i can’t talk to you now okay i’ll see you later”
courfeyrac: but it is odd how a women’s purse looks good on me, a man
combeferre: exactly! unisex!
courfeyrac: maybe you need sex. i had sex a couple days ago
combeferre: no! no, courf! u-n-i-sex
courfeyrac: well, i ain’t gonna say no to that
A flash of some unrecognizable emotion flickered across the stranger’s face, but it quickly disappeared again. He shifted the box onto one arm and held out his hand.
“Combeferre.”
Courfeyrac looked down at his hand, then at the boxes occupying his own arms; his were a little too heavy to transfer to one side. Combeferre seemed to realize his error a fraction of a second later, but before he could sheepishly withdraw his hand, Courfeyrac improvised and stuck out an elbow. Combeferre laughed and made a show of shaking it.
“It’s nice to meet you, Combeferre.”
“Likewise.”

Maybe Courfeyrac is a coffee snob or maybe he’s just slightly adventurous. He makes a point to not go to the same cafe more than a handful of times, two parts to become more acquainted with the local businesses in the area and one part because it makes him feel slightly more dignified.
Maybe he is a coffee snob after all.
He has an entire list of places within an hour vicinity from him and makes it his goal to check them off. With his possibilities so vast and all the people he encounters in every single coffee shop, Courfeyrac doesn’t notice him at first. When he does finally take note of the ethereal man, he only vaguely catalogs it as a coincidence. It’s after the fifth time of seeing the literal hottest person he’s ever laid eyes on that he decides that he needs to talk to him.
With as much suave as he can muster up, Courfeyrac walks over to the man’s table, slides into the seat in front of him, and jokingly delivers some bad pick up line about fate to break the ice.
The man, thankfully, laughs it off, and god if that doesn’t sound like velvet to Courfeyrac’s ears. He introduces himself as Combeferre, and as it turns out, he has a similar list of coffee shops that he’s slowly moving through. The moment he hears Combeferre talk about noticing his presence too, he knows that the conversation at hand is far from a mistake.
The next time Courfeyrac goes to a cafe, he’s not alone.
Combeferre works part time at a library. It’s a decent job- he gets to geek over the books and resources they carry that he wants to learn more about under the guise of doing work. Usually he works in the back adding new material into the system and re-shelving, but sometimes he works up at the front desk.
It’s during one of these times that a frazzled-looking man with wild curly hair practically slams a book down on the counter in return. He’s so visibly stressed that it takes Combeferre a solid couple of moments to notice how stunning he is.
Combeferre honestly can’t tell whether to laugh hysterically or embrace the second-hand terror when he scans the book and has to tell the man in front of him, Courfeyrac- according to the account, that it’s overdue by two years and has racked up a $300 dollar fine. He takes pity on him and quietly slides the book back, allowing him to just pay for the price of the book instead.
Courfeyrac is so grateful that he offers to buy him coffee.
Combeferre is so flustered that he can hardly manage out the time his shift ends.
okay, hear me out: courferre enchanted au
no, I’m not over that pic just yet. Based off of Killian and Fra’s Ferre and Courf ;-)
If you ever think I’m over Courferre you are mistaken
