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...

Hahaha, that's what the rap is for! It's to make things so catchy they're unforgettable. :P I admit that despite knowing about and associating this phrase with Fritz for decades, that line now runs through my head too, and has been doing so throughout this whole conversation. I will also now never be able to hear the phrase "oblique order" without thinking "oblique attack tactics ain't exactly straight" either. :P

Pssst, what about a flute-bustin' Prussian?

Lol, I was going to say, I am never gonna forget that Frederick the Great was known for the oblique order (although I may call it "oblique attack tactics" instead)
