Title: What Comes Next
Fandom: The Musketeers
Pairing/Characters: Aramis/Athos/Porthos (from established Aramis/Porthos), d'Artagnan
Summary: Between "Knight Takes Queen" and "Musketeers Don't Die Easily" the boys get on the same page (in more ways than one).
Rating: NC-17
Length: Medium (10,221 words)
Disclaimer: These characters don't belong to me.
Notes/Warnings: I'd done the natural amount of speculating, regarding the actual pre-1x10 conversation where the guys work out who knew what when, but it wasn't until I rewatched "Commodities" that I had a real light bulb moment regarding a possible sticking point. And thus this fic was born.
Excerpt: Athos looked dazed, as he often did when confronted by strong emotions. Aramis knew from experience that the only way to keep Athos from retreating into his head- and from thence a bottle- when he was like that was to give him something to do or someone to worry about.

Title: Brand New Start
Fandom: The Musketeers
Pairing/Characters: Athos/Constance/d'Artagnan, Aramis, Porthos, Ninon
Summary: Modern AU: Constance always has trouble with the holidays. This year may or may not be worse than usual.
Rating: PG-13
Length: Medium (9,021 words)
Disclaimer: These characters don't belong to me.
Notes/Warnings: My Christmas offering. This was originally conceived as kind of an office AU, which was a silly idea for me to have because- as is undoubtedly apparent- I know very little about working in an office. I fiddled with it a bit and as a result the characters work… somewhere, doing… something, and are frighteningly unprofessional about it.  Title from "Drunken Angel" by Thea Gilmore, from her holiday album Strange Communion.
Excerpt: After that, Constance went upstairs and took a shower, as if she could wash away the painful wish that she had just said yes to d’Artagnan’s offer and was currently driving home to see his family with him. She reminded herself of why she’d said no- because she did have work to do, and anyway spending Christmas with the family was a big move for two people who had only been dating for a few months. A voice in her head protested that it was more likely her attachment to her own self-imposed isolation that had made her say no, even when she’d already made the leap and started dating d’Artagnan in the first place. The voice sounded horribly like Athos.

Constance reminded the Athos-voice that he had no business talking about self-imposed isolation, and did what she always did when her life just didn’t seem right.

She went to work.

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.
