I slept for 12 hours straight and woke up with a cold. So I have spent the day in bed with my husband’s laptop and assorted cats.

I know it’s pretty boring to read fics from a fandom you don’t know anything about, so I don’t expect many of you have an interest in this fic. But if I’m wrong, the characters are Louis XIV’s Head of Security, a ruthless man who seems to be able to do anything for the king. And Claudine is a doctor’s daughter who is a far more skillful healer than her father. It struck me that they are basically the complete opposites of each other, and the fic sprung from that.

Chapter: 1/4
Characters/pairing: Fabien Marchal/Claudine Masson

AN: I started to write this fic after watching episode 5 which made me think there was an interesting dynamic between Fabien and Claudine. Two very different persons but who both serve the King. I was very happy when the rest of the season provided a few more scenes between them.

The chapter title is a quote from Fabien from episode 5.
