    Summary

    Sometimes, late at night, he catches himself sitting still on the couch. Hours pass without him noticing.

    He thinks about his mother then. Not about the way she died, but the way she lived on her worst days. The way she would sit for hours, staring at nothing. The way he would sit in the corner of her room, quiet, and afraid to leave her alone.

    He shakes himself out of it. He’s embarrassed by the comparison. He’s not like that. He’s functioning. He’s successful. And most importantly, he’s loved.

    He’s fine.

    Summary

    A collection of short (for me) explorations into the sweet agony of being a Musketeer. Expect anything that my wicked mind can produce. Will rate appropriately as things get worse . . .

    Summary

    Detective Athos de la Fere thinks the worst thing he has to deal with is a hangover until his scheming ex-wife shows up at his door looking for police assistance. In five years, it's their first interaction that's not due to her former job working for the best fixer in the country, and definitely the first time she's willingly sought him out. The investigation sounds like his idea of hell, but could it also be an opportunity to finally move on from their painful divorce and all his unresolved guilt and anger? Or could it just destroy them both further?

    "I would like to give you the silver
    branch, the small white flower, the one
    word that will protect you
    from the grief at the center
    of your dream, from the grief
    at the center." - Margaret Atwood (Variation on the Word Sleep)

    Summary

    When things start to go very wrong for the Musketeers in the field, Treville sends in the best spy he can think of to sort things out. Things get much worse before they get better, and the fate of France may hinge on whether Athos and Milady can learn to trust one another again. [Canon divergence after S2.]

    As statements go, failing to meet her at the crossroads had not carried the same finality as having her hanged, but even so: It was hardly ambiguous.

    Summary

    Porthos needs flowers, and the only way he's going to be able to crest this confusing sea of bright petals and sweet scents is with the help of the attractive accountant scowling quite menacingly at him over the desk. A rose with many thorns would smell as sweet.

    Athos bombs

    Summary

    The first time d'Artagnan met Athos, he pulled a gun on him, and the ensuing fight ended with d'Artagnan pressed up against the wall of the alley, Athos holding d'Artagnan's own gun under his chin. Athos met his furious gaze with the bluest eyes d'Artagnan had ever seen, obviously angry but still in control; they were jammed chest to chest, and d'Artagnan's heart was pounding with adrenaline but Athos wasn't even breathing hard. That's enough, he'd said.

    Summary

    The previous works have brought us to this pass - d’Artagnan has been having an affair with Athos, and has recently renewed his affair with Constance, after they declared their love for each other, with Athos’s blessing. Except that Constance doesn’t know. Yet.

    Expect angst from pretty much the get-go and maybe… just maybe… some kind of resolution…

    Summary

    The Reverend Aramis d'Herblay has a problem: somebody keeps digging up his graves. Unfortunately the police don't seem all that interested, at least, that is until the appearance of an altogether more recent corpse. Meanwhile, Athos has agreed to take on a case for a friend who's in danger of being evicted - but what starts as a simple property matter will bring Athos into conflict with both the law, and a murderer...
