Round 3

[bbcmusketeerskink]

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.

Announcement: A blanket spoiler warning is necessary for prompts pertaining to season 2. Just season 2 Spoilers in the subject line will do.

Alternative Pursuits: cultural or otherwise

[(Anonymous)]

We know Athos drinks, and Aramis enjoys the company of women, and that Porthos enjoys gambling, and they all do their musketeering thing and then perhaps hang out in taverns after work.

Now I'd like to see some of their potential alternative pursuits and interests explored. Maybe Aramis and Porthos love art and architecture, and Athos knows a lot about it, so they make regular trips to different locations all around Paris to look at churches and windows and buildings and paintings and statues and gardens.

If they're away from Paris on a mission and they can fit it in they'll take the time to explore what the area they're in has to show them. Perhaps when they're sitting around they get into discussions on art's affect on the soul and humanity. Or meet in Athos's rooms regularly to read new literature together.

D'Artagnan comes along and is surprised or charmed when they invite him to come with them at the end of the day and realizes they're not just going to a tavern to hang out.

And it doesn't have to be this. There are other possibilities, obviously. I think it's possible Aramis may have been in attendance regarding the salon culture at the time, and dragged the others when he could. Maybe Porthos loves to attend the theatre, has a favorite dramatist, and drags the others along. Or loves traveling bards and makes sure they see them, and Athos loves Jeu de Paume (17th century French form of indoor tennis) and talks them into playing it when they ever get the chance (all while pretending it doesn't matter that much to him if they play with him or not). ;)

You get the idea. I just want to see other pursuits and passions and interests explored.

Seconded.

This idea is growing on me. Aramis making them all listen to his favorite literary articles. Porthos has a favorite artist. Athos loves the gardens. They spend hours debating architecture. So many possibilities to imagine.
