The three Musketeers are in more than each other's pockets, lately, and the boys are finding the differences between 'come-hither-stare' and 'get-over-there' a little difficult. Athos has had enough, it's time to crack the whip, and Porthos isn't happy about it. (OT3 established.)

Porthos has had to watch Aramis flirt his way across France for too long, and now even Athos is condoning it. Then again, Aramis isn't just excellent in persuasion when it comes to honeyed words and an intimidating stance - he can quite literally bend anyone around his little finger. [Portamis - Pre-Season 1, no spoilers!]

Take a trip through 21st Century London town and see what mischief the Musketeers' boys can get up to in their third year of university. There's the college newspaper to think about, their degrees to study for, a new club to start, and amidst it all a bond of friendship that could be the kindling to a roaring fire that might consume them whole. [Eventual OT3.]

The third-year dance is just around the corner, and although Athos and Porthos managed to dissuade Aramis, it only takes a desperate plea from some lovesick puppy-dog eyes for them to change their plans and help d'Artagnan secure his date.
