Title: Complicated
Fandom: The Musketeers (BBC)
Word count: 1100
AN: Written for the Trope Bingo square: Against all odds. Odds relating to cards in this instance. Gen but could probably be Athos/d’Artagnan pre-slash with a bit of squinting.
(
Decision made, d’Artagnan slips into Carbonet’s newly-vacated chair. “Cards?” he asks disingenuously. )

I liked D'Artagnan's thought about the rest of them, and what he has learned of them over time.

Cheers! I'm really glad they made d'Artagnan so savvy - he's young and impetuous but not overly naive - and very much a full member of the team. *g* Complicated is good.

This is wonderful, and wonderfully characterized--D'Artagnan's analyses , and his facepalmworthy approach to life (not that he isn't a bona fide genius compared with his book characterization, but still. And Athos is Athos, and the other two are utterly delightful.

Thanks. The Musketeers is currently making me very happy - not least for the characterisations of the women. It's how an ensemble cast should be. I don't really like stupid - and am old enough to remember the Michael York version. I was very happy that this d'Artagnan is not an idiot.
*g* I have never read the book. But I did pick up a nice Penguin edition this morning.

I particularly enjoyed the analysis of Aramis. The Musketeers are just a bunch of softies, LOL. Well, sometimes *g*

Thanks muchly! *g* I'm glad Aramis worked. I was afraid I'd short-changed him and Porthos a bit in my rush to get to Athos!
D'Artagnan will be a quick learner....

Understandable *g*
