Frederick the Great, discussion post 5: or: Yuletide requests are out!

[cahn]

All Yuletide requests are out!

Yuletide related:
-it is sad that I can't watch opera quickly enough these days to have offered any of them, these requests are delightful!

-That is... sure a lot of prompts for MCS/Jingyan. But happily some that are not :D (I like MCS/Jingyan! But there are So Many Other characters!)

Frederician-specific:
-I am so excited someone requested Fritz/Voltaire, please someone write it!!

-I also really want someone to write that request for Poniatowski, although that is... definitely a niche request, even for this niche fandom. But he has memoirs?? apparently they are translated from Polish into French

-But while we are waiting/writing/etc., check out this crack commentfic where Heinrich and Franz Stefan are drinking together while Maria Theresia and Frederick the Great have their secret summit, which turns into a plot to marry the future Emperor Joseph to Fritz...

Oh, that reminds me, I ran across some semi-formal thinkpiece or something on the internet a while ago, about Fritz, that concluded with, "And of course, he had time for all these many accomplishments because he never married."

That's one way of putting it, indeed.

AHAHAHAHA wow, it's one of those things that is so wrong it's hard to know even where to start!

Well, I love it, because it's almost as much right as it is wrong! You can look at it as: he said some words under duress, but was pretty much never married in any way that counted, in his head.

BUT STILL. You're clearly not qualified to write a thinkpiece, author. You're like that stopped clock that tells the time twice a day by total accident.

I knoooow, it's like the author sort of happens to be right by accident! I mean... was he married?... yes... but okay, kind of no... Did he spend time on dysfunctional intimate-sexual relationships? Yes... but... okay, maybe not so much on the sexual part, fine... but...!
