Guys

Do you ever find yourself on what you suspect is the wrong side of the fine line between "fading to black because it's classy and it's what this story needs" and "just awkwardly stopping"?  I have this fic in my drafts box that's... like... judging me.  On the one hand, I know I'm done with it.  On the other hand, there's this sad sense of shame when someone asks if there's more of something I basically just washed my hands of and it makes me look back and say, "If only I'd tried harder."
 

Fic: Other Factors

Title: Other Factors
Fandom: The Musketeers
Pairing/Characters: Athos/Treville, Aramis, d'Artagnan
Summary: Athos and Treville are caught in a trap.
Rating: PG-13
Length: Short (1,788 words)
Disclaimer: These characters don't belong to me.
Notes/Warnings: Written for this prompt. I have made it a near death experience fic rather than actual character death, because a) the prompt seemed to leave an opening for it and b) I’m a marshmallow.
Excerpt: “Is it that bad?”

“Not at all,” Athos said. It was difficult to tell if he was lying. “Aramis will have it good as new.”

Treville concluded that Athos believed what he was saying- but he knew that the faith his Inseparables had in Aramis’ healing abilities did sometimes stretch beyond the power of medicine. What was more, there was no way to be sure Aramis was even coming- coming soon, anyway- and Treville could feel himself fading. If he fell asleep, he wasn’t sure he’d wake again.

Welp

It looks like I'm going to be without internet access for the next week (give or take).

Just letting everyone know that I'm not dead, and won't be unless the internet withdrawl kills me- in which case, live long and prosper, everyone.
 

Fic: Scars

Title: Scars
Fandom: The Musketeers
Pairing/Characters: Athos/d'Artagnan, Aramis, Porthos
Summary: Athos' shot leaves a scar. He and d'Artagnan have different ways of looking at it.
Rating: PG-13
Length: Short (1,580 words)
Disclaimer: These characters don't belong to me.
Notes/Warnings: Written for this prompt. Apologies if the ending seems… abrupt. Fading to black is not my greatest skill.
Excerpt: “Porthos and Aramis wanted me to see you.”

Athos seemed sufficiently dazed that d’Artagnan wondered if they hadn’t in fact deposited him on d’Artagnan’s doorstep, knocked, and ran.
