Archive of Our Own's search function is built for this exact kind of question. I usually just go to the main 'My Hero Academia' fandom tag, then use the 'Crossovers & Fandom Fusions' filter. From there, you can use the 'Additional Tags' section to narrow it down; sometimes authors will tag 'The Three Musketeers' directly, or you might find it under 'Dumas' or 'Classic Literature Crossover'.
It's not a huge crossover niche, so you'll probably have to sift a bit. I've seen maybe two or three decently long fics over the years. One that sticks out had Izuku, Katsuki, and Shoto filling the musketeer roles in a historical AU, which was a fun character study even if the plot was a bit thin. The tagging is inconsistent, so searching just the character names alongside 'musketeer' might turn up some hidden oneshots too.
Your mileage may vary, but AO3 is still the most reliable place to start digging.

I noticed you're asking specifically about action-packed duels in 'The Three Musketeers' MHA crossovers. Honestly, a lot of those fics focus more on the found family and swashbuckling camaraderie, which is fantastic, but the combat sometimes takes a backseat to character interaction. One that stands out for actual, choreographed duels is 'All for One and One for All' by SkyLark17. It transplants the Todoroki family drama into the Musketeer setting, so you get these intense, personal sword fights between 'Athos' (Endeavor) and 'd'Artagnan' (Shoto) that are dripping with emotional history. The author clearly studies fencing terminology, which adds a layer of technical detail you don't always see.
Another angle is fics that treat Quirks like 17th-century magic in duels. 'Musketeers Plus Ultra' has Bakugo as Porthos using his explosions in creative, confined swordfight scenarios—think blasting stone dust in an opponent's eyes to gain an advantage. It's less pristine duel and more chaotic, environment-aware brawling, which fits both series. The action sequences there feel frantic and weighty, like you can hear the clang of steel over the pops.
Most others I've tried tend to summarize the fights in a paragraph or two to rush back to the banter. So if duel-centric action is the goal, those two are where I'd point you first. The latter especially has a duel in a rain-slicked courtyard that's stuck with me.

I keep going back to those fics that make the trio—Izuku, Katsuki, and Shouto—feel like a unit forged in fire, not just classmates. The best ones don't just transplant D'Artagnan and the others into U.A. uniforms. They take that foundational loyalty and test it against the series' own pressure points: the legacy of All Might, the weight of hero society's expectations, the personal traumas each boy carries.
I read one recently where the 'all for one, one for all' motto got twisted into a quirk-sharing bond, a literal life-link during a disastrous internship. The friendship wasn't just about emotional support; it became a tactical, survival-level pact. The tension came from whether that bond would save them or become a fatal vulnerability if one was captured. That's where these stories dig deeper than canon sometimes—exploring how absolute trust functions under extreme duress.
It moves past rivalry or simple camaraderie into a chosen family dynamic, with all the messy, stubborn devotion that implies.

Man, this crossover has so much potential it’s hard to pick just one. I see a lot of chatter about Izuku Midoriya and Tanjiro Kamado, which honestly feels almost too obvious? I mean, they're both the sweetest, most determined cinnamon rolls in their respective universes. The dynamic writes itself—two boys who would absolutely cry over each other's kindness and then team up to save everyone. It's wholesome, but for me, the real spark is in the unlikely matches.
I'm a total sucker for the Katsuki Bakugo x Shinobu Kocho idea that's been floating around. Think about it: his explosive, raw aggression meeting her deceptive, venomous grace. The sheer verbal sparring potential alone is gold. He'd be fuming at her polite smiles, and she'd be dissecting his ego with terrifying clinical precision. It wouldn't be a conventional romance; it'd be a battle of wits and wills with a slow, grudging respect that could maybe, possibly, turn into something more. Way more interesting than just pairing up the two main heroes, in my opinion.
Another underrated one is Shoto Todoroki and Giyu Tomioka. The shared trauma of complicated family legacies, the quiet, socially awkward intensity… they'd probably just sit in silence for hours and understand each other perfectly. It’s a mood.

Man, that's like asking to list all the stars in the sky—you'll get a different list from everyone. The Deku/Bakugo ship, 'BakuDeku', is obviously massive. It's driven by that intense, complicated rivalry that's just dripping with narrative potential. People love exploring the 'from enemies to something more' arc, filling in all the emotional gaps the canon leaves.
But I'm actually way more into the quieter, weirder ships. Have you read much for Aizawa/Yamada (EraserMic)? It's this slow-burn, domestic thing built on years of implied history, and the fics often have this grounded, comforting vibe that's a nice break from all the high-stakes heroics. Sometimes I think the background pairings have the most creative freedom.
Then there's the Shinsou/Kaminari dynamic popping up a lot lately—two very different energies clashing in fun ways. And you can't ignore Todoroki's whole deal; Shoto/Deku is huge for the whole 'healing through friendship (or more)' angle. Honestly, my recommendation list changes based on my mood.

There’s something about the classic tale of 'The Three Musketeers' that infuses modern fanfiction with a unique flair! One story that really grabbed my attention is called 'The Iron Mask.' It spins a tale around D'Artagnan and his beloved musketeers as they navigate the gripping politics of France while dealing with royal secrets. The writing is immersive, and the character development really does justice to Dumas’s original work. You can feel the tension build in unexpected situations, adding layers of intrigue and romance.
But what struck me most was how the author delved deeper into Aramis's character, peeling back layers that even Dumas himself might not have considered. I found myself laughing at their antics while also holding my breath during the dramatic twists. There are even a few modern settings and twists that keep things fresh! If you enjoy robust character exploration intertwined with cunning plots and a touch of romance, this fic is definitely worth checking out.
Plus, there are also some great crossover fics where the Musketeers team up with characters from other universes! So, if you're feeling adventurous, explore those as well. Fanfiction really captures the spirit of camaraderie these characters are known for.

I keep seeing the same big ships rec'd everywhere, and it's like, hello, have you people even looked past the front page of AO3? One pairing that never gets its due is Kaminari and Jiro. Everyone writes them as just the class musicians, but there's this amazing fic called 'Static Harmony' that treats Denki's electricity as a genuine disability he's learned to live with, and Kyoka's support comes not from pity but from a shared understanding of how their quirks isolate them. It's not flashy, no world-ending stakes, just two kids figuring out how to be heroes despite the things that make them different. I stumbled on it after filtering out all the Bakugo and Todoroki tags, and honestly, it changed how I see both characters.
Another criminally overlooked dynamic is Midoriya and Shoji. Yeah, I know, it sounds random. But think about it: Shoji is this quiet, observant giant who values protecting others, and Izuku is, well, Izuku. There's a great crossover-esque story where they get stranded together during a training exercise, and it becomes less about rescue and more about Shoji teaching Izuku how to listen—not just to people, but to the environment, using all those extra senses. It's a mentorship from an unexpected place, and it fills a gap the main series never really addresses.
