[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)

Lehndorff: *notes for the nth time that Amalie is moody as hell and goes from "angel to fiend and back" at lightning speed* *never ever wonders why*

Basically every single thing you write about Lehndorff I have this reaction of "awwwww he is really just incredibly non-socially/emotionally-perceptive and non-self-aware, it's cute." Of course, if he'd been even slightly socioemotionally perceptive/aware like Richard Burton then maybe we'd have had a lot more information about everything! It seems to me as it is that Lendorff seems to be the Mystery Source for a lot of things you guys already knew from bios and such.

This!

This too!

I know; he wasn't on my radar at all (he gets quoted in biographies but not in such a way that I remembered him as a person), and I keep having these, "Oh, *he's* our source for this!" moments. Thank god for selenak, because he really doesn't seem to have been translated, and I just never would have been able to read him. And he is *such* an awesome source.
