Comment on A Cabal of Paris

    Well you know the story he tells about training for a year so that he could go and ruthlessly murder.... Uh... I mean heroically and honorably kill that one guy who insulted him? Imagine what he'd do to people who may have dared lay hands on him? It would be vicious and cathartic indeed! *thumbs up*

      Something occurred to me last night when I thought about poor, abandoned, friendless Aramis, all alone in the world, and I feel you need to know that: I remember I discussed in one of the Immortality comments that I'm convinced Aramis doesn't have any family because if he had any sisters he'd place them in Marie's household and try to marry them off strategically etc. etc. And last night I realised: Aramis would totally try to marry off his sister to the Comte de la Fère! "My dear Madeleine, the comte is the most noble man and a dear friend of mine. Do not be alarmed on your wedding night when he insists you keep your chemise on. In fact, if you wish to produce an offspring and heir to the comté and to the title within these twelve months, do consider dressing up in men's clothes. No reason! This is just the fashion in Paris. Why, I myself would enjoy it if my - hypothetical, for I am a man of God - paramours dressed as men occasionally..."

      This is... I feel like this should happen. In an AU.

        Well AS IT HAPPENS, I have strategic headcanons ready for how Aramis could've had a sister that he knew nothing about. That is, she would've been born after his embarrassing family sent him away because they couldn't afford to feed him. They would've given the new baby away too but they were so guilt ridden already over tiny René and then the baby turned out to be a GIRL and his mom just couldn't do that because lbr everyone knows it sucks even more being an abandoned orphan girl.

        And were she not married already, he would absolutely try to marry her off as a beard to his dear old friend. Ha! (Athos would PROBABLY not kill Aramis' sister?)

        If Aramis had a sister, I feel she would be entirely delighted with the idea of dressing up as a man.

        And then going out and seducing all the female tenants of the estate.

        I think Athos would be quite insistent that one trip to the altar in holy matrimony was sufficient for a lifetime, and since he already had offspring that was his duty to perpetuate the lineage fulfilled, and certainly Aramis' sister could not fail to be a lovely girl with a fine intellect and dazzling personality but she would be thrown away on an old reclusive country-bred dull boring rustic like himself, much better to let her have the chance to make an impression on Paris and exercise her manifold talents to the furthest ;-)

          She would certainly be a very spirited young lady, with the most beautiful hair and dazzling teeth.

          Ah, but Aramis wants to ensure that his sister marries well and wealth, and it should be someone he trusts, because he knows what those Parisian men are like. And Aramis can be quite persuasive - I mean he made Athos leave retirement and go spring a duke from prison, there was some silver-tongued talk there!

      This is one of my most favourite thoughts about Aramis. I even wrote (or better, started) a whole story just around the "Aramis and his Thesis" chapter and I never want to be done with it.

        Oh hello, nymph friend! How lovely to see you in this new year!

        One of your favorite thoughts about Aramis is how he must've been molested and then destroyed those who molested him? I'm not at all surprised! Madam is as bloodthirsty as Flittermouse ;)

          Hello and a happy new year to you, dear El!!

          I just wrote how much I missed your and Donna's writings on my comment to chapter 1.

          Yes, I know, I should be ashamed, but Aramis getting high on blood has always been my favourite thing. I wrote one of my media law papers about the Japanese Catharsis theory in media culture (games/books/movies/music) with which I can totally justify myself (as well)!

          *coughs and retreats inconspicuously*

            He's not very subtle, the abomination from the pits of Hell worthy abbé.

          P.S.: Originally, it used to be "Aramis spilling blood" like written in canon before your true lore, but Aramis actually getting high on (sucking) blood fits me just as well... :D

            Haha and of course Aramis mainlining Godblood, as one would. He's nothing if not consistent, in every universe 😉
