My apologies, Your Majesty. You're hurt.

Constance: Anne, why aren't you dressed yet?

Anne: I... uh... have nothing to wear

[Constance starts going through her closet]

Constance: You have nine robes, sixteen gowns, eight shirts- hey Aramis, and six pairs of pants

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.)

Subtle, they were not.

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.

And hand kisses!

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.

Constance: So, how was the honeymoon?

Anne: Aramis got drunk after three drinks and tried to destroy our marriage certificate

Constance: I am sure he didn't mean-

Anne: He said "Good luck trying to return me without the receipt"

Anne: I love him

[enigma-the-mysterious]

Milady: So, you're on good terms with Porthos?

Anne: Of course! He is my boyfriend-in-law

Milady: What?

Anne: I’m dating Aramis, he’s dating Aramis. It’s something we have in common

Anne: It's not that complicated

[enigma-the-mysterious]

calling my lover "mine" but not in the way that my toothbrush or notebook are mine, mine in the way my neighborhood is mine, and also everybody else's, "mine" like mine to tend to, mine to care for, mine to love. "mine" not like possession but devotion.

[enigma-the-mysterious]

Constance: Seriously though, what do you see in Aramis?

Anne: He is pretty

Constance: Yeah

Constance: Pretty stupid

[enigma-the-mysterious]

Athos: Look me in the eyes and tell me you don’t have feelings for the Queen

Aramis, looking lovingly at Anne from across the throne room: I don’t have feelings for the Queen

Athos: You are nowhere near my eyes

[enigma-the-mysterious]

Constance: So, what did you make for Aramis?

Anne, staring at the food she burned: Regret

[enigma-the-mysterious]

No seriously, as much as I love to laugh at this, how did it happen though?

I mean, did Treville sneak into Louis' bedroom in the middle of night and steal the order decreeing Aramis to go and fight in the frontiers or something?

Did the Queen burn the will and forge a new one after his death?

I NEED to know!

[fishalthor-archive]

always

[enigma-the-mysterious]

Aramis: What's going on with you?

Anne: I am having husband issues with you

Aramis: But I am not your-

Anne: Yeah, that's the problem

The scene that spawned my latest fic! Specifically that last gif, the way Anne was moving her lips like she wanted to say something but couldn't find the words. She sure got an emotional info dump there!

[enigma-the-mysterious]

Aramis: Ask me why I love you?

Anne: Why do you love me, Aramis?

Aramis: [pulls out a 200-slide presentation]

Aramis: I am glad you asked
