Summary
drawing courage from a romeo and juliet fic that charmed me and almost zero prompting from my darling friends, this is a fic I wrote for an English assignment almost a decade ago. unmodified. last edit to the document was may 25, 2016.
now before you run away! I may have been a teenager, but remember, I was recently bisexual (lol), recently depressed, overly relating to holden caulfield, and trying to impress an english teacher.
and before you run away from THAT, consider......

Summary
“Don’t you go doing anything foolish when we aren’t around to rescue your fool hide,” Athos calls. “I want to be sitting at that table trading brief, pointless anecdotes of just how bored we all were when we return.”
Aramis just raises a hand in response, then sighs heavily once he’s disappeared around the corner, letting the last pretenses of cheer fall away. Not bothering to hurry, he wanders past the straggling cadets and stable boys to find his leathers and prepare for patrol. It’s going to be a long, slow few days.......But of course, for a Musketeer alone in Paris, things never stay slow for long. Fortunately, a Musketeer is never truly alone.

Summary
Your shady boss asks you to commit a minor/major crime for "research purposes." What do you do?
Melanie is righteously outraged. Tim reminisces (slightly bitterly). Martin is nostalgic (slightly forcefully). Jon is kind of oblivious, but hey, he's got a lot going on.

Summary
“It’ll be a miracle if he makes it through the night.” The doctor had said when he’d finally finished, wiping sweat from his brow and blood off his hands. “It might be best to make some plans with the undertaker.”
Charles refused.
And Arthur made it through.
------In which Charles defies his better judgment, and Arthur defies death, and it's worth it to be a fool.

Summary
Arthur doesn't do well with change. Small changes he can handle, but large ones have always knocked him a little off kilter. Usually he can adjust, given enough time - get his footing back and walk it off.
But not this time.

Summary
Dutch caught Hosea's shoulder as he turned away.
"Come on now, Old Girl, you're not–"
The pet name was what did it. Hosea ripped his arm from his shoulder, pulling his revolver and shoving it into his chest. "I. Wasn't. Askin'."
Dutch and Micah return to Clemens Point without Arthur. Hosea does not agree with their synopsis that all is well.

Summary
Arthur is gone.
It’s nothing the gang ain’t accustomed to. But a peace talk with Colm sounded like a prelude to catastrophe, despite all of Dutch’s placating and Micah’s cajoling.
And Hosea Matthews will have none of it.

Summary
“Let's just - let's just get home,” Arthur says, grabbing his hat from where it fell off in the shootout. He reaches into his satchel and pulls out his lasso, tying it into a makeshift bridle and slipping it over Taqqiq's face. She snorts, blowing hot air onto his neck as he leans to place it over her ears and under her throat. He grabs the rest of the rope and slings it over her neck as reins. He pats her cheek, and she nips at his forearm softly.
“Just for today girl,” he assures, and the telltale squeak of leather allows him to know that John and Javier are already mounted.
He gives her one last pat and moves to hoist himself up, but he falters. Quickly, he turns his head back towards Taqqiq's, confused.
Were her eyes always that light of a brown?
