Comment on A Cabal of Paris

    which makes everything so much more fun while keeping the internal dramas of the Disgustoid-kind veiled in mystery (and open to gross shipping).

    Which is the whole point!

    Also, how nice of Porthos to name his horse after Athos' brother?

    I think he had a horse called Vulcanus in one of the books?

    Ha ha, yes Charon was written before Amazingness! The Musai were sniffing my loins already. And the chyortik is at his best when he's being bitchy and meow. Just as Athos is being best when he's being an asshole <3

    I feel like we missed a lot of behind the scenes Disgustoid Drama.

    It's foreshadowing of all those scenes in 20YA. "Aramis and Athos were still in bed" LOL

    This entire scene is so good and vivid and very much The Three of Them!

    Yes that was very TTOT! Especially Athos being Phlegmatic and Porthos being Thirsty. And then Athos being all "I will kill you, but in a polite and gentlemanly manner, because you're not a prole." Descartes is very lucky that I had no further use for him and that he historically survived his brush with Intrigue and his encounter with The Three Of Them.

    Porthos probably had a good giggle at Manneken Pis and his tiny shrimp.

    Is this faithless harlotry (full offense, Rohan Nymph!) going to push darling Flitters into the molesting arms of the Church again???

    That is the question! (But really, the important thing is that Athos will be Hurt, yet suffer Manfully.)

      Noooooo don't hurt him! My own tender heart won't be able to take it! (*evil snicker* oh who am I kidding, I'm so here for this pain!)

        Listen, the hurt and the manful swoon are at the heart of the request!

          He does excel at the manful swoon, just like he does at everything else. And he's very excellent at getting himself in trouble!

            Oh yes. It is the manfullest. And the swooniest. Somebody might kiss his pale tender handy-wandies to help him recover

          THERE WILL BE MANFUL SWOONING???

          Hurrah for the return of the fainting maiden! Is this because of blood loss, traumatic injury (to himself or others) or the bruising of his tender susceptible heart? I don't care if a few proles bite the dust, but be careful with the tender heart! Don't batter it too hard :-)

            Yes indeed! This was was commissioned by Ysande, who requested Athos getting hurt and suffering manfully, and that's what this is all about (poor Descartes just got dragged in to flesh out the background a bit :D). There might be some deaths along the way, but nothing serious, and worry not: the tender heart cannot break yet! That wouldn't be canon.

              Your patroness is a person after my own heart! And remember, Athos: we only hurt you because we love you so :-)

              (I'm sure that was a great consolation when step-mother's curse worked itself out - love means pain!)

                I'm sure Athos' understands. He suffers so beautifully, he only has himself to blame for our desire to witness his pain over and over again.
