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.

Since I figure making more of them is the best way to get better at making icons, I'm doing the musketeerstills challenges. This round is "favorite characters" and I did Athos, Porthos, Milady, Constance and Treville.  A couple of observations:

1) My God, Constance, can you not keep still?  I notice a lot of people seem to prefer making icons with promotional photos of her; possibly it's because it's so hard to make a screencap of her that isn't blurry.

2) Milady on the other hand is great to take screencaps of.  I ended up making like sooo many icons of her.  I made extra Porthos too.

( Surplus Milady and Porthos Icons... )

3) Though I didn't mean for it to happen that way, the icons I'm thinking about posting make a rainbow.  I'm still deciding whether I should embrace the rainbow, or arrange them in a different order and hope no one notices.
