(omg, you guys, I am so sorry about being so absent from Amazing Shiny Sparkly Fandom Discussion, this has all been amazing, Lehndorff is <3, and unfortunately with Christmas Stuff and travel my availability may well not going to get any better for the rest of the month... although it should get substantially better after the first week in Jan) but here I am popping up at least temporarily :) )
There's also the question as to how much Fritz noticed about Lehndorff anyway.
Heeeeee. I just really don't get the impression Fritz would notice someone like Lehndorff at all. I mean, I'm sure being EC's chamberlain didn't help, but I feel like Fritz went for the brainy and/or competent guys (and not just romantically speaking, although I was sort of thinking about that, but also in general) and... it's not that Lehndorff is incompetent, exactly, but his general cluelessness can't have helped! I bet he would have had a much better chance if he'd run EC's stuff so well that Fritz noticed... although with how much he didn't want to think about EC, that might have also been super difficult, so... Lehndorff may have just been in a no-win situation in terms of getting Fritz' notice!
