BootsnHatshide bio
 Author has written 23 stories for Musketeers. As usual, I'm late to the party! A friend from another fandom JUST introduced me to the BBC Musketeers and while I was NOT looking for another fandom, all that leather :swoons: and those boots and hats ... :swoons again: need I say more? Okay, well, I admit, the men in the leather influenced me a little bit, but honestly, I swear it was the boots and hats! Mostly. All right, the leather too, but BootsnHatsnLeather just doesn't have the same rhythmic sound as bootsnhatsnbootsnhats ... hear what I mean? Think - if you live in the Mid-Atlantic region of the US - that TV commercial for an insurance company with the pig sunbathing, bopping in his sun lounger to a song on his MP3 player, repeating over and over bootsnpantsnbootsnpants. See now - doesn't bootsnhats have the exact same rhythmic pattern? I couldn't help myself! Plus, like being a little OCD about food touching on my plate, I'm kinda the same out here in fandom. I'm not keen on posting different fandoms on the same page - thus, page number three, for posting The Musketeers fan fic as bootsnhats. I post here as iiiieyes for Stargate fan fic, and as iiiionly (aka Tanis) for Lord of the Rings fic, but here, you will find only fan fic for The Musketeers, BBC version. I love chatting with readers, so feel free to drop a line and know that I will be stopping by to say thanks. But I have to say one of the best things I've found out here at ff dot net is the favorite button. Every time someone hits that button, I find it brings in new readers. So thanks for favoriting too! Hope you enjoy! bootsnhats |
Patchwork of People by BloodFromTheThorn reviews
d'Artagnan is a patchwork of people and he knows it. The ache does not come from knowing that he has taken others into himself – there is no one there he recognises who he does not love and admire – but instead is born of a sense of knowing that he can never be as great as the shadows he stands in.

Until We Meet Again reviews
Memories, Aramis knows, are hard to sink. They rise to the surface at the most inconvenient times, flagrantly flaunting their ability to come and go as they please. And what he's remembering as the Musketeers wait upon the arrival of the Duke & Duchess of Savoy, is the ghosts of twenty dead men.

A Good Trick reviews
An episode tag to Sleight of Hand. In which myriad injuries are discovered, Dr. Lumay makes an appearance and Treville takes a night off commanding to watch over his injured Musketeers. A bit of hurt with a generous helping of comfort on the side.

A Mother's Heart reviews
A Mother's Day Tribute - The Inseparables, on their way back to Paris after attending Alexandre's funeral with d'Artagnan, stop to visit Aramis' family in Bayonne. It's all play and no work for the Boys for a change. See A/N's for S3 warnings.

Blessed Are They That Mourn reviews
For the Aramis-Hour crew who has already seen Season 3:Episode 1. Because of the situation created by the parent company, not everyone has had the opportunity to see these shows, so in order to avoid spoilers for those who don't want them, you will have to open the story to see the summary.

The Inseparables are tasked with a diplomatic mission to the Old Swiss Confederacy, to bargain for mercenaries as a contingency should it ever come to war with Spain. A Swiss capitulation seems imminent, but the disappearance of Aramis and Porthos under suspicious circumstances, means Athos and d'Artagnanmust walk a fine line in order to save the negotiations and their brothers.

Cantique de Noël reviews
A Christmas Drabble: Imagine it's Christmas Eve in Paris, 1630, in the common room of a large hôtel located in the rue de Tournon. Feel free to add in a few of your own Musketeers lounging about, but - as always happens when they are present - the Inseparables dominant the cozy, fire lit room. Though he is not mentioned, imagine Treville is here among his men as well.

The Innocent & the Damned reviews
Episode tag for Commodities. A recipe for disaster: Mix one blazing house fire with one thoroughly inebriated Musketeer, throw in a resurrected spousal unit, an anxious wanna-be-Musketeer, then bake these ingredients for several months. Serve with a few tissues, a side of wine and a cozy chair.

d'Artagnan, completely on his own for the first time in his life, finds fate has tossed him an opportunity he's been longing for, though as is often the case, the price of the newly opened door is costly - his father's life.

No Man is an Island reviews
Plagued by the first of numerous withdrawal symptoms, a misstep puts Athos' musketeer career in jeopardy before it even actually begins. This story opens a week or so after the events in Worth Saving, a bit of 17th century rehab sponsored by Aramis and Porthos.

The Shadow of Tomorrow reviews
In the filthy, overcrowded city of Paris, a miasma of sickness spreads its tendrils down every alley and into every home. The Musketeer garrison is detailed to the gruesome work of collecting the bodies piling up in streets and houses. Inevitably, the Inseparables must fall as well. For one who hears the siren call of oblivion, this could be the honorable farewell.

Devious Minds reviews
An it-could-have-happened-this-way segue into Episode Ten - Musketeers Don't Die Easily, with apologies to anyone who actually knows how to write a fencing match. And for Debbie, who said, "I'd love to see this continued..." as regards a conversation between Athos and d'Artagnan about Milady. The H/C in this one is emotional rather than physical.

To Serve at the Pleasure of the King reviews
This is a repost of a story originally posted at ID 2941562 iiiieyes. A H/C missing scene to Episode 8 - The Challenge. All is not as it seems when d'Artagnan leaves the field of battle, though by morning he's recovered enough to go about his errand to the Bonacieux's. Set (mostly) between handshake with Athos and meeting with Milady.
