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

Re: More Book Reports: AW bio, Fritz and Heinrich double portrait/lengthy essay
Man, Wilhelmine really did luck out
Yeah, just cheating on your wife with her best friend gets you like an A-, when grading on the curve of other men in 18th century marriages!
How much childhood trauma did the Margrave have? Not to defend the Hohenzollerns, but childhood trauma vs. conflicts with equals beginning in adulthood makes a big, big difference to general fucked-up-ness. (It is possible to be deeply traumatized and not take it out on other people, of course, but the deck is stacked more against you with childhood trauma--which is almost word for word what Fritz told Catt, not just about himself but when observing other people who shared his anger management issues.)

The answer to this question is found in a reply at the latest post, she says with an evil laugh, here.
