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...

...yeah, I can now totally see the parallels to what selenak has been telling us about Fritz/Heinrich.

I don't think the "cunning plan" was actually a cunning plan, btw, in either case. I think in both cases the abusers had some warm-and-fuzzies, aka a love-hate relationship, and the acts of affection were genuine. And staring your own mortality in the face is something that warms a lot of people toward their family members, and Fritz and FW were no exceptions, imo.
