    Summary

    It’s 1920, and ex-soldiers Porthos, Athos and Aramis have gone to work as gardeners on the big Cornish estate owned by their old Major-General, Treville.

    In the shadow of WW1 they attempt to turn to the business of growing instead of killing, of nurturing and tending instead of fighting. But their experiences at war and the loss of d’Artagnan is quite literally haunting them, and the past refuses to stay as buried as they would like.

    The third and final in my Musketeers-ex-soldiers-turned-gardeners AU.

    Title from the poem ‘Everyone Sang’, by Siegfried Sassoon (who might just make a cameo in future chapters…)

    Summary

    Immediately following the Napoleonic wars of France, Aramis and Porthos became ghost hunters. They're struggling to make ends meet, and barely keeping one step ahead of the spirits they are putting to rest, when they receive a request they can't possibly refuse, despite their reservations. The newly reinstated Comte de la Fere, one of the few survivors of the reign of terror, has requested their assistance with a ghost haunting him, and the letter implies that no cost would be too great to be rid of if. Despite Aramis and Porthos' discomfort in the life of luxury to which the stodgy old Comte is likely accustomed, they have no choice but to accept. However, they quickly realize when they arrive at the ancient Manoir miles from their desolate Paris Tenement, that things at la Fere are not what they expected, and the Lord of the house himself might be the most rewarding puzzle for them to study.
