Summary
Constance feels like she’s full of tinder, a girl all dried out and crackling from twenty-three years of scurried acquiescence and unquestioned duty. And all it will take is one tiny spark to set her aflame.
**
Or, how Constance Bonacieux met Athos the Musketeer, and began to live.
I've been wondering how Constance and Athos met, and why she would contemplate risking her reputation and life for him - how she changed slowly from a dutiful wife to someone wilful, brave and strong.
I also wanted to see Athos get kicked in the balls, because that's never not funny.
This could be read as Constance/Athos if that floats your boat. Warnings for mentions of Athos' alcoholism. Slight hurt/comfort. (Constance basically wants to hug Athos, very much)
