#bonus: he saw a feisty seamstress and a feral murderess and went “yup these are my daughters they live here now bye”

[wingsofhcpe]

sometimes I remember that Treville canonically saw:

an alcoholic, disgraced nobleman who gave up on his previous life after irrefutable heartbreak

a black man from the slums that was also the bastard son of his asshole ex-best-friend

a spanish-french son of a sex worker that had ran away from home & his implied abusive bio father

and a freshly orphaned country boy with zero braincells who had just come to Paris all alone

and immediately decided that "yes, these are my sons. My children. I would die for them and I would also kill for them, and although my number one concern is my duty I would turn France upside down for their sakes, even if I try to pretend otherwise. They're stupid and disasters and almost get themselves brutally killed every other day, they have caused multiple large-scale diplomatic incidents and if I leave them unattended they will probably burn all of Europe down to the grown before lunchtime. But they're my soldiers and my sons, and I'm their captain and their father, and there is nothing I wouldn't do for them. And I will eventually sacrifice myself to protect the king of France, but ultimately it's in my sons' arms I'll die in, and so I will die happy and at peace."

And that's canon. That's, like, actually what happened in the show. I am so damn serious, if you want one of the best Found Family depictions in modern media watch bbc musketeers right now.
