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.

Re: Milady/Anne/Constance lady awesomeness

Just a teaser -- I'm hoping to do this prompt justice with more, but it bit me hard and I blorted out a beginning and I figured I'd post to see if it suited what OP had in mind. This was literally a ten-minute braindump.
I've also never tried to write for this series from anyone but Milady or Athos' POV so Constance is a challenge.

“Do you promise not to be angry with me?” Anne had asked, and though Constance had seen the iron that could be her Queen’s spine, she still trusted her friend, and so she’d said yes.

But she’d never imagined this.

Across the queen’s apartments, leaning back against one of the shuttered, the dark-haired woman gives a too-familiar insouciant smile. “So. We meet again, Madame Bonacieux. What a pleasant surprise.”

Anne cuts in before Constance can say anything, laying a hand on her arm. “Milady de Winter,” she says, and her voice is firm, one that makes it clear she will brook no arguments, “understand this: Madame Bonacieux is my dearest friend, and should anything happen to her, I would look most askance on it.” When the other woman inclines her head just the slightest bit, with what Constance thinks might be grudging respect, she continues, “I trust her more than I trust any other; there will be times the two of you will need to work together. I cannot have my good and and my eyes and ears fighting each other.”

And oh, suddenly it all makes sense, and Constance sits down. Hard. She shouldn’t, with the Queen still standing, but they’re in Anne’s private apartment with the door closed and in here they are friends, and Anne has never stood on ceremony when the door is closed. “You think you can trust her?”

Milady’s smile turns bitter. “Her Majesty has given me reason enough not to betray her, Madame,” she says. Something in the words makes Constance wonder what Anne has offered her to ensure that -- what she knows that Constance doesn’t.

“So,” Anne says, sinking into the chair next to Constance, reaching out to take her hand and give it a reassuring squeeze. “Shall we begin, then?”

Oh this is super exciting! I love politically savvy Anne and the mutual respect and protectiveness.

Love it! Protective!Anne! Constance may be surprised now, but once she gets over it I have a feeling she'll love having finally found people to be around who are moving at the same speed she is. I imagine she's spent a lot of time holding herself back and now she won't have to. ::happy sigh::
