Wretched Literature

d’Artagnan: Somewhere Along the Line | “Well, I know it’s just a matter of time when the fun falls through and the rent comes due”

Athos: I’ve Loved These Days | “Now as we indulge in things refined, we hide our hearts from harder times”

Porthos: Easy Money | “When you’re counting on a killing, always count me in”

Aramis: State of Grace | “Granted this world is not a perfect place, still it’s the world that I’m in”

Milady de Winter: Stiletto | “She’s so fascinating that you’re still there waiting when she comes back for the kill”

but I’m in the middle of the three musketeers so I’ll do the best I can with the information I have to work with (and yes I know there are sequels that take place decades later but I don’t know what happens in them or if children are introduced so this is just based on the first half of the first book lol no spoilers please)

without further ado…my assessment of if these male characters from the three musketeers would be good fathers:

D’Artagnan: I think he would be. he would enjoy teaching the kid things even if those things are a bit ill-advised. the kid would definitely know how to square up to a school bully

Athos: I would be concerned for the child’s emotional development

Porthos: strangely this is my most confident yes. he would be very proud of his child and when they’re a baby would probably carry them around to show off to all the other musketeers

Aramis: I think he would be I just don’t know if he would want to be. but in a three four men and a baby scenario he’s most likely to be the actual father

M. de Tréville: he basically already is one to our boys so yes

Planchet: sure. he takes care of D’Artagnan who is often quite childish
