Again, I'm not Trevillieu shipper PER SE (I mean, I'll ship anything, all the times, whenever, whatever, I'm cringe and free) but the idea of Daddy Treville seeing Richelieu and Da Bois just being like 😡🤬😤😱😵🤔 about it is very funny, especially in a Modern AU setting. Da Boys are that's like "That's Our Dad. We want him to be Happy. He's found a partner who makes him Happy. That's great."

"Except said partner is a FUCKING BATMAN VILLAIN JFCVBOKM HCLVHVKHCHKCKH" *screaming*

Meanwhile Richelieu is simultaneously smug about enraging Da Boys and just like SO ANNOYED because I AM A CATCH, GODDAMMIT. Jean-Armand loves me, that should be enough, but his AWFUL ADOPTED SONS/ATTACK DOGS FFS.

Family dinners must be HILARIOUS.

I'm not a Trevillieu shipper, but I'm not NOT a Trevillieu shipper, ya dig? Like, if you're into the Yaoi des Hommes Vieux, then Godspeed, comrade, but Trevillieu isn't really my bag.

BUT.

Treville deffo found himself MISSING Richelieu after he kicked the bucket. God, he was so COMPETENT. He wasn't BONKERS. He wasn't actively trying to usurp the throne. He was a bastard, but he was a NORMAL bastard. They weren't friends, but occasionally their eyes would meet over the King's head when he was saying something completely out of touch and there was an UNDERSTANDING there.

Like: You don't like me, I don't like you, but we gotta put that aside to make sure our Ruler Apparently Appointed By God doesn't plunge the entire country into ruin. I know, homie, I know.

Richelieu hates the Inséperables, but goddamn if he doesn't envy that kind of straightforward loyalty. If he could have snatched them out from under Treville he would have done it ages ago.

Treville thinks the Red Guard is a bunch of jumped-up thugs, but JFC it must be nice to have normal dudes under your command instead of a bunch of verifiably-insane-yet-somehow-hyper-competent weirdos.

In any other circumstance they'd be at least friendly. There's real respect there, even if neither would admit it.

The Musketeers in the Discworld/Ankh-Morpork setting is honestly such an underrated concept, I’m mad that everyone’s sleeping on it.

Louis being the King who literally does nothing but stress baking, genuinely believes that he alone keeps this city running, that crime is non-existent, unemployment is probably a fancy name for a flower, his citizens are the loveliest and cutest things that just absolutely love to pay taxes

Richelieu having this whole system of guilds, organized crime, and e mess of a city going and keeping Louis in this dream, but in fact everything is just shy away from falling apart, but for some miraculous reason, it keeps working

D’Artagnan storms into the Shades looking for a bar Athos frequents. None of the Shades criminals even try to rob him, and actually keep him out of trouble, because they’re so amused by this boy, and also because they look forward to Athos beating the shit out of him coz entertainment is sometimes more valuable than money (lol jokes on him, D’Artagnan is broke)

So D’Artagnan storms in and demand to fight Athos, and Athos is like, really not in the mood, also he’s pissed that some asshole is interrupting his Man Pain Session, so he’s like “ok, so im gonna waste 5 minutes of my life on killing you, and these 5 minutes I ain’t getting back”

Treville sees D’Artagnan and be like “Gods, is he a dumbass, but like..... he has potential. Hey, boy, wanna sign up for Night Watch, because you gotta pay for all that broken furniture somehow?”

voice of reason: you already have one treville/richelieu video why would you make another one

me: THAT ONE WASN'T GAY ENOUGH.

fuck my life, fuck it *sobs and rewatches richelieu scenes*

[becumsh]

no one ships treville/richelieu and i'm so sad because i obsess over it like nobody's business

[becumsh]

i have this feeling that at the end of season 2 treville will accept the position of first minister and i will cry because of otp feels

[becumsh]

do you ever read treville/richelieu fic and fucking cry because richelieu is dead, treville looks awful, and there's no room left for doubting that it's fucking canon.

literally, all i want is a flashback of richelieu calling treville 'jean' and treville calling him 'armand'.

NOONE CALLED TREVILLE JEAN.

ok, it's 5.35am and i'm dellirious
