Welcome to the BBC The Musketeers kink meme

The lowdown: You post your prompt, anon or not. Someone else will hopefully fill it (also anon or not). Not for profit, just for fun. And in this case, for king and country.

Anon is on, IP logging is off.

Rules:
No wank
No kink-shaming
Be respectful to everyone
The mod is not your babysitter
Use the warnings
No prompts with characters under the age of 16 in sexual situations, please.
Please keep the discussions in the prompt post to a minimum. We have a discussion post

Mandatory trigger warnings/warnings for both prompts and fills:
non-con/dub-con
abuse (physical and mental)
issues such as racism, sexism, homo-/trans-/-bi-/ace-phobia etc
character death
suicide
self-harm
eating disorders
extreme physical or mental illness
substance abuse (alcohol, drugs, medication)
bullying
gore and horror

If this list misses anything, do let me know, though please understand that if absolutely everything is added this list will never end.

You are encouraged and advised to add additional warnings at your own discretion.

Please make use of the subject line.

If your prompt alludes to the book or any of the other adaptations, please let us know which one.

Lastly, prompt freezes (which I have to say I’m really not fond of) etc will be at the mod’s discretion. I will decide on a prompt cut-off point for prompt posts once I know how fast the meme moves.

Athos was busy discussing the food stores with Flea, when he heard the shout of “Athos!” from across the court.

Athos looked around to find Elaine rushing towards him, pulling somebody along behind her. Her shout and hurried movements caused quite the stir, as people’s attentions were caught and they began to follow.

“What’s going on?” Aramis asked as he came up behind Athos.

Athos shrugged and walked toward Elaine to meet her halfway. The middle-aged motherly woman stopped, panting heavily, when she reached them. “Athos.” She repeated, “This young one found me this morning.” She then ushered a boy out from behind her to stand in front of Athos.

The boy looked about fifteen or sixteen, quite tall already, with black hair, tanned skin and dark brown eyes that looked around him in a nervous mixture of trepidation, wonder and sadness. His eyes then locked onto Athos.

“You are Athos?” He asked.

“I am.” Athos said in confusion.

As though given permission to let go, the boy dropped to his knees and gave a grief-stricken moan, clutching his face in his hands. Athos startled and looked back to find Aramis and Porthos watching him in stunned silence, along with most of the Court.

Not knowing what else to do, or how this mysterious boy knew his name, Athos knelt down before the boy. “Who are you?”

“My name is d’Artagnan.” The boy said, tear-filled eyes looking straight into Athos’ and Athos could see a whirlwind of emotion in those dark eyes. Eyes that looked too old and haunted for the boy’s years. “I’m from Gascony.”

“He was travelling with a small group of our kind,” Elaine informed Athos when d’Artagnan said no more. “Entered Paris last night by the water and walked straight into a trap. Athos, Judge Richelieu was among the men waiting.”

Athos head shot up in surprise. “What?!” Richelieu did not often go out on patrol. He did not like to do the dirty work himself. Athos found himself looking at the boy in wonderment, “Then how are you here?”

“He chased us to Notre Dame.” d’Artagnan’s voice was wobbling, “He killed my father.” He gasped as the first tears began to fall from already reddened eyes, “On the steps.”

Athos heard Aramis gasp aloud behind him, and Athos spared a glance to make sure that he was alright, memories of finding Aramis dying on those same steps flooding his mind. Porthos had taken hold of Aramis’ arm, keeping him grounded.

“And then he tried to drown me.” d’Artagnan’s next words had Athos’ attention flying back.

“What?!” Aramis cried aloud this time, rushing forwards to kneel by the boy also, taking his hand, “You poor thing, I am so sorry.”

“How are you not dead?” Porthos asked in stunned surprise, regarding the boy with interest and joining Athos and Aramis on the floor with the boy.

“I was saved. Captain Treville…” d’Artagnan paused, clearly waiting for the reaction of recognition from Athos, and once finding what he was looking for carried on “He stopped him. He said he’d take care of my father’s body.” He took a deep breath and his hands were shaking slightly in Aramis’ hold. “And then he told me to find you, Athos.”

Athos nodded, absolutely stunned by the terrible losses that had befallen the boy at Richelieu’s hands. “Treville did right. You are safe here, d’Artagnan.” He placed his hand over Aramis and d’Artagnan’s. Athos looked to Porthos for support, Porthos always knew what to say.

For once, it appeared Athos had said the right thing, as all Porthos did was join his hand to the pile and repeat, “You are safe here with us, d’Artagnan.”

Please tell me there is more. This is too good to stop right there.

There will be more! I've had to have a brief break, but I will be attempting to update some more in the next week or so.
Thank you, anon. I am glad you are enjoying it!

This is really incredible! I love it!

Thank you anon! I am really pleased you like it! I will hopefully be updating in the next week!

I just read all of it in one go and it is wonderful!
I love how you tied the two stories together with Savoy and D'Artagnan's father. And obviously I can't wait for the Feast of Fools!

Oh thank you so much, anon! I am so pleased to hear that you like it! The Feast of Fools will be appearing in the next update! I hope it lives up to your expectations :)

As this fill is getting slightly too long for the meme thread (I have a feeling it's going to be a bit of an epic length - help!) I am now posting the fic on ao3. The latest update can now be found here: http://archiveofourown.org/works/3435980/chapters/7663289?view_adult=true I will, however, still post links here for each new update.

(Just so you are aware, for this chapter on ao3, there are parts 7a&7b at the beginning, with new fill afterward). Hope you enjoy!
