awww what a great fic concept {a character not treated in detail by the book is the perfect fic material} and very touchingly executed! i'm so glad Frédéric made itt at least :'
and also very happy to see one of the guardsmen treated like a human being, as Hugo treated them! all those other young men fighting and dying are ignored way too often in the adaptations.
anyway ouchh the simple humanity of both of them breaking through their opposite positions in the conflict, and it just being one man injured and desperate and another helping him..
{his blue eyes reminding Ferre of Enjolras niceee}
{and that extra bit of Ferre's thoughts looking at the sky aghh he's seen it every day and now that's the last of the sky he'll ever seee}

This is a fantastic fic and I love it! Frederic is a great character, and there is absolutely no need to apologize for the fact that the story decided to go in its own direction! I'm so happy that he survived the barricade, even though Combeferre's death trying to save him was so sad. I'm also relieved that Pierre's misunderstanding of Combeferre's actions didn't end up distancing him and Frederic- it's a really good depiction of brotherhood and something that's good to see on the "bad guys" side of the story.
You wrote Combeferre's character wonderfully, too- the way he's both watching his friends and trying not to because he's afraid of what he'll see (and OH poor Bossuet), how he sees he humanity in everyone and his first thought on seeing Frederic is "his eyes are like Enjolras's". He's so selfless and good, and he did NOT deserve to die the way he did.
Well done on this! Hoping to see more fics from you in the future! :D
