Frederick the Great, discussion post 6

[cahn]

...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)

Indeed, though it's not that Heinrich overlooks him

This is the difference between Heinrich overlooking him, and Heinrich leaving him *feeling* overlooked, the contrast being reflected by the main text written by the hormonal young man and the older, wiser footnote. Emotions aren't always rational.

So what you're saying is that Lehndorff is Heinrich's Peter Keith? :)

I did actually say that in the sentence following "Emotions aren't always rational," and then I deleted it because I didn't want to belabor the point.

I swear, every time I delete something, you pick up on it. You've done it at least half a dozen times now. :)
