A/N: Here's another Musketeer's story I had lying around. I've hesitated to post this, but I thought I'd give it a go and see what the feedback is. This is a more serious one and one that is definitely different from what I know is normally found on here in terms of formatting. To be honest, this style is more like what I write in my original fiction. The site ruined the original formatting, which I was rather fond of and I found worked well with the narrative laid out here. I do have it up on my tumblr, the link to which you can find in my profile, if you're curious.

Please read, relax, and enjoy.


The Romantic Hero and the Loneliest Woman in Paris

In a distant life,

In another time,

With different rules,

They have a chance,

To get it right

To make it right

To get them right

The romantic hero

and

the loneliest woman in Paris

they laugh

they love

they cry

they despair

they bicker

they fight

together

Unaware of their past

Of the danger

duplicity

deception

deceit

In this life

In this time

With these rules

They have a chance

The romantic hero

and

the loneliest woman in Paris

to be in love

to be passionate

to be together

to have a family

Their child,

a happy, healthy boy,

is never his.
