D'Artagnan and Jacqueline take a countryside romp in the spring. As usual, they manage to find trouble, but will Jacqueline find something else in their ventures? This submission is an excerpt from "Woke Up Dreaming," chapter 3, reworked for tikatu's spring contest.

Louis and Phileppe plan to end the longstanding strife between two ledgends and end up in a new period of civil unrest for France. The secound Fronde hits Louis in a way he never imagined. A new enimy is unmasked are the royal twins up to the challange? Part Four of the Young Blades Unleashed Saga, Part A of the "Reconciliation Duology"

This is my short, four chapter take on what happens in the episode “Da Vinci’s Notebook” before Jacqueline visits Mireille as Jacques’ fiancée. Although the source of her idea is not mentioned in the show, fans suspect d'Artagnan had something to do with it.

A companion video to "Collide." This video sums up Jacqueline (Jacques) and the younger D'Artagnan's unique romantic predicament better than any summary ever could. Set to one of Jennifer Lopez's more endearing songs.

She is a wanted woman moonlighting as a male musketeer in order to seek vengeance against the man responsible for her father's death. He is the son of her idol, the legendary D'Artagnan, and is the only one who knows her secret. Somewhere in between battling a nefarious cult, trying to keep her secret, and embarking on an all around swashbuckling adventure, two hearts will collide.

Siroc doesn't speak of his past. He knows well that For a Slave of the Cardinal, Escape is not necessarily the same as Freedom. Action, Adventure, Anxt...no slash Story number One in the Youngblades Unleashed saga.

Jacqueline struggles with the loss of her family and her life as a musketeer.

D'Artagnan is on his best behaviour and Jacqueline discovers that she might actually miss his flirtatious banter. Luckily for them both, a few screws fall loose.

This selection for Maryilee's "Most Brilliant Chapter" contest, showcases the couple that inspired the Young Blades series. You'll get a taste of their romance and knack for finding trouble. For those who loved POTC, you may find this tale at sea to grab your interest.

This is my choice for Maryilee's "Most Brilliant Chapter" contest. As requested, my reasons: it's rich in description, has a gripping pace and well thought out transitions. It answers how the mechanics of Mazarin's sanctum work. Siroc (Mark Hildreth, the first speaking part in POTC3) is one of the fan's favorites. Lastly, this chapter was well received by YB fans and is my beta's favorite.
