Date: 2014-10-04 08:49 pm (UTC)"You should`nt need more than a few days" Treville said "But take your time on the road, the ship won`t be leaving till Tuesday"
"Captain" Athos said accepting the letters and placing them into his doublet
"This`ll likely be your last missions till after the Birth Aramis" Treville said to the pregnant and beaming Musketeer who was unable to keep from stroking his stomach "Enjoy it, I doubt there`ll be any trouble"
"Thankyou Sir" Aramis replied with a large smile while d`Artagnan flinched next to him his abdomon aching as if he were about to void himself
"I`ll let you be on your way then" Treville said "Behave yourselves"
"Don`t we always!!!!!!?" Porthos replied earning a glare from Treville who shook his head in amusment as the door was shut snorting under his breath certain that the four of them were the cause for all his headaches and grey hairs!.
"Are you alright?" Aramis asked quietly as he saddled his mare Thalia and d`Artagnan prepared his own mare Ebony
"Fine" he replied stoutly
"The baby.....?" d`Artagnan shot Aramis a sharp look before climbing onto Ebony "d`Art you can`t carry on like this, you`re putting yourself and the baby at risk!"
"I have no choice Aramis" d`Artagnan replied coldy, even though his insides burned like acid "I have to do this, whatever the consequence", nudging Ebony forward he left Aramis to mount up the older Musketeer sighing and shaking his head "No you don`t you silly boy, you don`t have to do this".
The trip to Calais was trouble free, and easy, having the better part of a week to get there, they set an easy pace, stopping in taverns over night, allowing themselves to sleep in and take their time instead of pushing hard, for which both Aramis and d`Artagnan were very grateful.
They met the envoy of King Charles I of England without problems passing over the letters and taking the ones for Louis even sharing a cup of wine with the British before departing.
However the trip back was not so easy.
Half way back to Paris they were set upon by a band of thieves to stupid or suicidal to know better than to attack Musketeers.
They managed to take the thieves out easy enough, ten against four the odds were comical to say the least, however things seemed less funny when a shot rang out and d`Artagnan fell to the ground clutching the side of his abdomon blood seeping through his hand!
"Oh God the baby!" Aramis gasped kicking his opponant in the face and running to d`Artagnan letting Athos and Porthos finish off the last of the thieves while he pulled at d`Artagnan`s doublet and shirt
"Aramis!!!!" d`Artagnan groaned both pain and fear filling him
"it`s to the side, theres probberly not much damage, only a flesh wound" Aramis babble feeling the firm boned corset his fingers finding the jagged rip along the side where the bullet had torn along his side
"How bad is it?" Athos asked getting down besides the too men along with Portho who was wiping blood of his hands
"It needs stitching" Aramis replied "but I think he and the baby will be alright"
"Aramis!" d`Artagnan protested paling further
"Baby!?" Athos repeated
"Whats wrong with the baby?" Porthos asked thinking Aramis meant their own, however he realized his mistake when Aramis ripped d`Artagnan`s shirt revealing the corset "Holy Christ!"
"No!" d`Artagnan groaned tears spilling from the corners of his eyes and rubbing his forehead in distress as Aramis`s main gauche sliced the corset down the middle releasing his swollen belly,
"I`m sorry, but theres no choice" Aramis replied turning to Porthos and a grey looking Athos "We make camp here, go and light a fire, get rid of the bodies, I need to treat this and then he needs to rest"
"Right" Porthos said getting to his feet to do as Aramis said while Athos looked at d`Artagnan a mixture of guilt, anger, betrayal, and shock on his face "Why in Gods name did`nt you tell me?" he growled as Aramis got his kit ready
"You did`nt want to know" d`Artagnan hissed back "It was a mistake remember?"
"YOU!" Aramis cried "You`re the bloody Father!?"
"WHAT!!!!?" Porthos yelled
"You said it should never have happened, that it was wrong!" d`Artagnan cried weeks of stress and fear coming now in his distress "So don`t you dare try and play the martyr on this Athos!, you`re not the one who got left dealing with the consequence of our mistake!"
"Oh Jesus Christ!" Aramis whispered closing his eyes and wincing as Athos shook with the force of surging emotions his eyes darkening and jaw clenching "You should have told me!" he spat into d`Artagnan`s face, pushing to his feet he stalked off into the woods leaving the others behind him reeling from this revelation.

Date: 2014-10-04 09:15 pm (UTC)"How long have you known?" Porthos asked, not accusingly but currious, knowing his lover would never brake a confidence unless it were life or death
"A few weeks" Aramis replied rubbing his forehead and wincing at the tension head ache "More like two and a half months actually!, I found him throwing up in the latrines, figured it out then, he swore me to secrecy, said the Father was`nt interested"
"What the hell is he planning to do with the baby?" Porthos cried shaking his head "It`s not like it`ll disappear!"
"He`s planning to give it to Constance to raise as her own, since her Husband seems inept in getting her with child" Aramis said with a mirthless snort, a hand going to his own growing belly "I tried to tell him not to, tried.....I guess now I know why he was adamant you and Athos did`nt know, especially Athos"
"Bloody fools the pair of `em" Porthos grunted scratching his head "Need their damn `eads bangin` t`gether!"
"Perhaps we do!" came Athos voice as he returned to camp carrying what looked like half a wood in fire wood! "How is he?"
"Flesh wound, it`ll heal" Aramis replied tiredly "I think the baby`s alright, it`s moving and the heartbeat sounds fine"
"It`s moving?" Athos sounded like he`d just been told the Virgin Mary was coming to Paris for a summer holiday!
"Feel for yourself" Aramis suggested gesturing to d`Artagnan`s swollen belly rising up under the blankets as he slumbered by the fire.
Looking nervous as a colt near a wolf, Athos got down beside d`Artagnan holding out a shaking hand that hovered over the younger Musketeer, sighing Aramis took his wrist lowering it onto the mound letting Athos feel the movment of his baby, a chocked sob forced it`s way out of Athos throat, his grey/blue eyes filling with tears "Mon dieu!" he whispered "I never.....I .......this is....."
"Overwhelming?" Porthos offered getting a nod from Athos who added a second hand to d`Artagnan`s belly a smile spreading over his face as he felt the kicks and wriggles
"What happened between you two?" Aramis asked "What caused all this?, as long as I`ve known you, you`ve never been a man to simply fuck someone and walk away"
"I was a fool" Athos whispered continuing to stroke d`Artagnan`s belly like it was a cat! "I....we.......we were in my rooms, drinking, sharing a bottle, somehow we ended up kissing and......well we ended up in bed together" Athos sighed and shook his head before continuing "In the morning I woke up to him cuddled up to me, sound asleep, looking so young, so innocent, how can I be worthy of that?" he asked looking up at his two friends "I could`nt let him become involved with me, my relationships always end in horror and blood shed, I could`nt risk that for d`Artagnan, so I.....I got out of bed and......when he woke, all smiles and adorable tussled hair I said that.....that it`d been the wine and brandy, nothing more"
"You broke both your hearts because you were scared to love again" Aramis summized shaking his head "You`re right, you are a fool"
"Mis!" Porthos chided
"Well he is!" Aramis snapped "If he`d been honnest non of this would have happened, d`Art would`nt have spent weeks in terror making himself ill tied up in a corset and planning to give up his baby, and I would`nt have had to keep it secret!"
"I`m sorry" Athos said before Porthos could say anything "And I will try to make amends, if I can"
"Do you love him then?" Porthos asked gently
"More than life itself" Athos breathed "God bloody help me but I do!, and I can only hope that he feels the same for me, even after all of this"
"What about the baby?" Aramis asked getting to the most important thing in question
"I never thought I`d have a child after Anne.......I.......I can hardly believe this is really happening" Athos replied "But I.......I want that too"
"Then I guess it`s up to d`Art what happens next" Porthos said looking at the too pale Musketeer "Any luck the two of you can sort this out and get together before I have to smash your heads together!".
Aftermath of Episode 9/Isabelle
Date: 2014-10-04 09:33 pm (UTC)Since I know tone can be misread in text, and my prompt could end up sounding snarky, please note that I've read many aftermath fics from various approaches that have been wonderful and emotionally satisfying. I've just been left craving a fic that fills in this space for me. A fic that deals with the fact that this person who existed and was important and impactful, is fully acknowledged.
Ideally, I would love to see Aramis deal with his grief on this - I think he would need to confide in someone about it sooner or later, just to sort out his own feelings on it, even if it were just to a stranger in a confession box.
I also wouldn't mind seeing him return to his home village to find Isabelle's father/family and inform them himself about what happened, feeling the need to take that on himself, or just to pay his respects. This could even be delayed. He sticks with his brothers until after all is resolved with Milady and the Cardinal after episode 10, then goes to find Isabelle's family to explain her heroism. The others could go with him, or not.
Or it can be him simply telling the others about her at some point. Any of those.

Adventures in Cosplay! (Modern AU, d'Artagnan/Constance, Portamis, past-Athos/Milady)
Date: 2014-10-05 07:31 pm (UTC)The three Inseparables live in the apartment above Constance's and somehow she manages to rope the three into doing a few group cosplays with her, maybe she's trying to win a few competitions or something. Either way we get to see d'Art, Athos, Porthos and Aramis in costume which must at some point include 'TeenTitans', Marvel-verse, Anime, TV, and Gaming.
Constance (with help from Aramis) makes all the costumes for them, and of course is super stoked, while the others range from amused to grumbling at dressing up and following Constance around a few cons.

Date: 2014-10-05 08:04 pm (UTC)Aramis rendered Mute
Date: 2014-10-06 07:51 am (UTC)While not being able to talk might hinder most people, Aramis' muteness doesn't seem to be an issue at all when it comes to the Inseparables. Apparently able to communicate with no problem, Porthos especially seems to understand and read Aramis just fine. Though that's obviously not the case with everyone and the rest of the outside world, or even d'Artagan to some extent, who's still learning 'Inseprablese'. Though both Porthos and Athos seamlessly shift and compensate for their companion's missing voice and are understandably protective, staying close while Aramis is content for them to take the lead.
Would love to see a mute Aramis dealing with his sudden muteness rather well, he's always been good with subtlety, body-language and gestures, but does get understandably weary and frustrated when forced to deal with more ignorant outsiders, like the mocking RedGuards. Or people who think he's suddenly simple because he simply can't speak or easy to take advantage of. Though only a very foolish few try with Porthos and Athos around.
Gen or slash is fine (Portamis is always welcome!)
Re: Aramis rendered Mute
Date: 2014-10-06 02:25 pm (UTC)Temporary Paralysis D`Artagnan TW Graphic injury, time period prejudice to disabilities
Date: 2014-10-06 02:26 pm (UTC)That and I have a thing for d`Art Whump
On a mission, or whilst protecting the king, or something d`Artagnan takes a bad fall, or receives a severe blow to the back temporarily sending his spine and nerves into shock resulting in temporary loss of feeling and movement in his legs.
Today we`d do scans and x-rays and what damage there was would be revealed, but back then nothing like that existed, nore was there any kind of real aid or treatment for such injuries, and people tended to treat those with disabilities like shit, believing they were being punished by God for sins or some such crap.
Naturally d`Artagnan is terrified, as anyone who has suddenly lost the ability to walk would be, but back then it would be much worse because being paralysed back then would mean being pretty much bed bound for the remainder of your life.
Athos adamantly refuses to believe that the condition is anything but temporary, and god help anyone who dares suggest otherwise, and won`t leave d`Artagnan`s side for a moment.
Aramis seeks out as much knowledge as he can on Human anatomy and specifically the spine, and how to keep blood flow in the legs and prevent bed sores.
Porthos by sheer force of will and his immense heart keeps d`Artagnan from falling into depression, carrying him on his back piggy back style, making him a special saddle so he can ride his horse, and beating ten bells of shit out red guards who think it`s alright to taunt a wounded Musketeer.
Then when d`Artagnan starts to regain feeling in his feet and legs all three band together helping walk again.
Bonus
A Fatherly Treville is always loved and appreciated
The King showing interest and concern in d`Artagnan`s health
While on horse back and still unable to walk d`Artagnan still bests a red guard in a fight! (The red guards suck, a two year old with a sling shot could best them)
Would really love OT4 but will take Gen aswell

Date: 2014-10-06 08:25 pm (UTC)Animal Magnatisim (Modern-AU, Athos/d'Art, Porthos/Aramis, possible bestiality?)
Date: 2014-10-06 11:09 pm (UTC)The craziness starts when Athos happens to be taking care of his neighbor's dog while she's visiting family, simply keeping Constance's dog d'Artagnan, who's still pretty much a pup, in his own apartment since Porthos likes dogs (and Aramis only lightly swipes and hisses if the pup tries to bug him while he's napping in a convenient sunbeam). Needless to say high-jinks and and craziness ensue when Athos' ex-wife sends him a strange occult-like object in the mail, which is apparently cursed. Though even she probably didn't think that it was actually cursed or just what that 'curse' would entail, for the next day Athos and Porthos wake up to find two strange and more strangely acting naked men in their apartment.
It soon becomes clear that the two men are actually Aramis and d'Art in human form, save for the addition of ears and tails and a much more expanded capacity for thought. Their first instincts and actions are those of a cat or dog, so for the next few days its a lot of trial and error as well as a lot of learning, having to deal with the issues of 'walkies', leashes, cat-boxes and the sudden inadequacy of scratching posts in the apartment, as well as the all but lost war to keep both Aramis and d'Artagan in clothes.
Aside from all that an unamused Athos seems to be the only one who apparently remembers that Aramis and d'Art are not actually human, but his cat and their neighbor's dog in human form. Athos is sure to use the spray-bottle to spray a sheepish Porthos in the face one morning when he sees the scratches on the bigger man's back as well as the sight of Aramis sitting unabashedly naked on his roommates' messy bed, foot high in the air in a show of inhuman flexibility as he gave his neither-regions a languid tongue-bath. Though Athos' got his own problems, finding himself undeniably attracted and drawn to d'Artagnan, who's human form is rather pleasing to his eye and its clear that d'Artagan is desperate to please him. Something about the sight of the young man constantly coming to kneel adoringly and obediently at his side...
Their all faced with a dilema when after a month or so of research they manage to track down someone in the occult who knows what happened and how to reverse it. But do they want to turn Aramis and d'Art back to simply a dog and cat again? If you want to add Constance to the mix feel free, drama and fun is a must for this prompt.
Walk in another's jacket
Date: 2014-10-06 11:19 pm (UTC)d'Artagnan has to borrow Aramis's jacket for whatever reason. It really doesn't look right but it feels...long and swish and he's quite reluctant to give it back. Athos and Porthos secretly wonder what the fuss is about so try the jacket on themselves. Cue and Constance having to do some emergency sewing when Porthos accidently rips it with his broad shoulders. Bonus if you can get Treville stumbling across Athos dressed as Aramis and wondering when the world went mad?
Anne + or / Louis XIII, saving him
Date: 2014-10-07 04:05 am (UTC)Some ideas: she spots/exposes a poisoner because of her studies. She helps derail an attempt to humiliate Louis by reversing it on the person in question (historically, this figure might best serve to be Gaston, Louis' younger brother, but is not required to be). Maybe Aramis really DIDN'T sleep with her, and they were up all night as he taught her the rudiments of fencing, or dagger throwing, and their subsequent visits were more of the same, and then she and Louis (who has some skill with a sword, remember?) are able to fend off assassins together long enough for the guard to come.
Anyone? mO.Om

Date: 2014-10-07 08:13 pm (UTC)Aramis & Anne have the same Father, Aramis is asked to look out for Anne when she marries Louis. At the convent Athos sees Aramis coming out of the room with Anne sleeping on the bed and assumes what happened. As does The Cardinal when Anne has a private meeting with her brother after the baby announcement. For some reason Louis finds it amusing that there is gossip that Aramis & Anne are having an affair. However Anne is not so amused.
The revealed could be their Father tuning up, or Anne announcing her brother to be a guardian to the baby, or The Cardinal trying to imply that Aramis is the baby's father. Anything.
