Period Drama Appreciation Week Day 4
Day 4 - Favorite Relationship(s)
Aramis and Queen Anne, The Musketeers (aka Annamis)
Take two extremely good-looking people, add the Forbidden Love and the Queen and Her Faithful Knight tropes, plus a healthy dose of sweet-hot chemistry, and you've got Annamis.
These two fell hard — literally and figuratively — right from the start.
And they went all-in on the inappropriate flirting, touching and Charged Staring immediately, to the point Porthos had to tell Aramis to chill. (Spoiler alert: He did not chill.)
Not content to commit just adultery and treason, they also got to throw some sacrilege into the mix. (How many couples get to have sex in a Mother Superior's bed??)
Their "one perfect moment" of giving into desire and finding comfort amid a time of danger and grief had massive repercussions, reverberating throughout the rest of the series.
It also had the comedic side effect of reoccurring, exquisite, put-upon death glares from Athos and one of the most iconic lines of the show.
It also gave me my favorite scene from the series: The One Where Everybody Finds Out.
Even after excessive trauma, years apart and literally everyone, with the possible exception of Constance — including themselves — trying to keep them from even looking at one another, they simply couldn’t stay away from each other or stop breaking the rules and norms (this time political ones). To the point that even ATHOS gave in and started shipping them.
They are swoony and I love them.
