...I think we need another one (seriously, you guys, this is THE BEST) and I'd better make it now before I disappear into the wilds of music performance.

(also, as of this week there are two Frederician fics in the yuletide archive and eeeeeeeeeee)
(huh, only one of them is actually tagged with Frederick the Great even though two with Maria Theresia and Wilhelmine, eeeeeee this is awesome I CAN'T WAIT)

Correction: 1743, not 1740. It was Voltaire's second visit, not his first.

Googling just now, I found a scholarly article arguing that Fritz thought the flirtation was innocent, did *not* object, and was in fact trying to prolong it by adding some poetry to the mix. Well, well! (Crack pairing indeed.)

OMG. Are there, like, excerpts of this poetry? (These can go in the next post, if they exist :) )
