Enjoltaire

 is the slash ship between Enjolras and Grantaire from the Les Misérables fandom.

Canon
In both the musical and book, Enjolras and Grantaire are members of Les Amis de l'ABC, the rebel group opposing the French government. Enjolras is the charismatic and inspiring leader of the group, while Grantaire is a pessimistic drunk and Enjolras's main skeptic.

Grantaire questions Enjolras's ideals, so many might wonder why he is part of the revolution. His reason, in fact, is Enjolras, and he has no desire for revolution. Grantaire deeply admires Enjolras, even referring to him as Apollo. Grantaire's pessimism is not shown throughout the musical except in the song "Drink with Me". He wonders if their deaths will even matter in the end.

As their revolution fails and the barricade falls, Enjolras is to be executed by firing squad. Right before this happens, Grantaire awakens from a drunken stupor and declares his loyalty to the revolution. He asks to die alongside Enjolras, who grants him permission, and they die hand-in-hand.

Fanon
