Day 2's challenge is to rec three works in the fandom that are by ANOTHER, which is obviously a lot easier than praising myself, although don't get me wrong: I'm fabulous. Here goes:

1. The Book of Thoth by

speak_me_fair and

quoshara: This is the one that started it all for me, that is, by wringing out my very first (Anonymous) LJ comment of all time. BECAUSE IT IS AWESOME. I never used to like AU, I did not think you could DO quality musketeer AU, but they proved me wrong in so many ways! Also, the artwork! SO COOL OMG, I still squeeeee like a little girl when I think about how great that universe is. (The prequel rocks my world too!)

2. The Knock by Xris: This was apparently a

yuletide fic before I even knew what the heck yuletide was. But I was lurking like a pro on

andoneforall so I found it magically. This is still one of my favorite fics in the fandom. It takes place in my beloved "between" period (i.e. between The Three Musketeers and Twenty Years After), and features a MAGNIFICENT speech form Porthos.

3. There once was a person who called themselves "Blue Fenix" but now I cannot find their fics ANYWHERE. The reason this is noteworthy is that this was some of the first musketeer slash I ever Googled! My mind: was blown. Even though most of it was based on the inferior "The Man in the Iron Mask" film, the writing was excellent! Blue Fenix: you were AWESOME.

4. But since I had no link for 3, I will have to do a bonus 4. Here are

quoshara and

speak_me_fair again with canon amazingness featuring Rioja, a very brooding Athos, and a very patient Aramis. I give you: Sue For Grace.
