This post has taken me ages and is ridiculously long. However it is for a really really good reason.
More Musketeers fic recs for a few reasons:
- the show ate my brain and continues to do so even though it’s finished (whhhhhy did filming have to start so soon? I was looking forward to not being obsessed)
- the fic is really good
- I told delgaserasca I’d do some het/gen/AU fic recs
Unfortunately it then turned out that I had too many recs that could cross those categories so this is just a massive list, sorry not sorry.
Fics are organised by author name and I have tried to mark whether they’re gen/het/slash/AU/wip, though this list is so long now I’ve probably got something wrong. Any errors in labelling are mine, obviously.
Devouring Time and Chageful Chance by akathecentimetre and JakartaInn (mostly gen with implied slash/het, AU)
archiveofourown.org/works/1476349/chapters/3174740
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy AU. Would have liked this to have been longer, it’s great :D
His Smile Me Draws, His Frown Drives Me Away ch 9 by akathecentimetre (gen)
archiveofourown.org/works/1370854/chapters/3016129Cute prompt fill about Treville and Anne (title has nothing to do with content, it seems to be the series title). I don’t want to say anything else, haha!

archiveofourown.org/works/1321366Very hot and hopeful (sounds odd I know) OT3 fic
Unus Pro Omnibus, Omnes Pro Uno by cherryfeather (AU, WIP, het, slash, chapters at time of posting 6/?)
archiveofourown.org/works/1342123Slightly odd modern uni AU (possibly because I actually know bugger all about fencing so all that stuff goes right over my head) but getting nicely involved and emotional as it goes on.
Balizarde by Cunien (gen)
archiveofourown.org/works/1330378Porthos-centric gen, I really liked this fic’s characterisation
Call it your day number one by evewithanapple (femslash)

all you’ve been allowed by evewithanapple (het)

One Breath by Kerosene (het)
archiveofourown.org/works/1308670D’artagnan/Constance porn after episode 7
Heal by Degrees by lynndrye (gen)
archiveofourown.org/works/1467292I know it’s not a surprise that this is a really good fandom for h/c, but this is a really good fandom for h/c. In this fic, Athos and Porthos have to patch each other up without Aramis.
To catch your eyes by Mackem (slash)
archiveofourown.org/works/1325098Aramis pining. I keep hoping there will be another part to this where he actually says something but it’s not happened yet (although this really applies to any pining fic in this fandom, I just want it to have a happy ending!).
in love with your careless moments by magisterquitum (het)
archiveofourown.org/works/1363963Anne/Aramis expanding on 109

Cutting a Dash by mnemosyne (gen)
archiveofourown.org/works/1352752/chapters/2822992D’artagnan is a tactile drunk. Light gen fic.
The language of half-lidded eyes by Ponderosa (slash)
archiveofourown.org/works/1333342Weirdly there is barely any Athos/Aramis fic to speak of (outside of OT3/OT4), but I thought this one was good
For Want Of A Needle by pristineungift (slash, AU)
archiveofourown.org/works/1204429As mentioned elsewhere, there’s not much proper angst in this fandom, but here is an AU ending for 103. Super pleased it’s just an AU, that’s all I’m saying.
Forged Bonds by Red_Tigress (gen)
archiveofourown.org/works/1363324This is an excellent long gen fic about the long road to Porthos becoming a Musketeer. It’s really well-paced and a very satisfying read.
I Dream Of The Court by Red_Tigress (gen)
archiveofourown.org/works/1493107Porthos angst. Reading this made me realise how little pure angst there is in this fandom, and also that I’d quite like some more.
About Grace by romancandles (slash)
archiveofourown.org/works/1453363Although this is Aramis/Porthos it’s not really the focus of the fic. It’s more about Porthos being a Musketeer.
And All Is Well by schweinsty (gen)
archiveofourown.org/works/1395934D’artagnan h/c after episode 1
Actus Contritionis by schweinsty (gen)

(ETA: complete now and really good!!)
Before the Night Will End by stardropdream (slash)
archiveofourown.org/works/1207072More Aramis/Porthos post 103. I really like the way this fic looks at their relatioship.
Due Punishment by Suzie_Shooter (slash)
archiveofourown.org/works/1384984Excellent, long, satisfying h/c fic leading into OT4
Captive Audience by Suzie_Shooter (gen)
archiveofourown.org/works/1396525Gen featuring Athos and the Mother Superior from 109
Subtext by Suzie_Shooter (slash)
archiveofourown.org/works/1186654Excellent Porthos/Athos fic, one of my favourites
Starts With Goodbye by sweetrupturedlight (het, chapters at time of posting: 3/5)
archiveofourown.org/works/1400683/chapters/2936869More post series fallout from the queen’s pregnancy. I really like the Athos and Aramis interaction in this one.
We sleepy children series by whiplash (slash)
archiveofourown.org/works/1227889 (link to part 1, smooth our thoughts from our brow)
A very slow burn leading to OT3 (not sure if the series is finished, three parts so far)
(not quite) a walk in the park by whiplash (slash)
archiveofourown.org/works/1456648Another fic based on the same prompt as Heal by Degrees - Athos and Porthos have to patch each other up without Aramis there
Kink Meme Fill #9 by whiplash (gen, au)
archiveofourown.org/works/1334050/chapters/2924665Far too short fic in which Porthos is basically Sherlock Holmes
Kink Meme Fill #11 by whiplash (gen)
archiveofourown.org/works/1334050/chapters/3005152I read this last night and absolutely adored it. Short fic prompted by the idea of them all living together as per the most recent Musketeers film (which, btw, I watched recently and it was GREAT)
A Rebellious Woman by theworthofhollin (au, wip, chapters at time of posting: 7/?)
archiveofourown.org/works/1393114D’artagnan is a girl in disguise! Gosh I love this trope, and am enjoying this fic very much.
Never Quite Eden series (currently includes A Mermaid Has No Tears and Off the Edge of the Map) by writteninhaste (au)
archiveofourown.org/works/1418656Thematically linked fics best described as magical creature AUs - both stories are complete at the moment but I hope there might be more. Not an AU I’d been thinking about but a different take on things and worth a read.
...And now I need to go and comment on these fics!
