Happy Fritzmas! (*) / Frederician discussion post 7

Frederician fandom is the best! 3 stories in main archive and 2 stories in Madness, eeeeeeee and I have only managed to read my own gifts so far (well, I guess Madness isn't open yet either, but even if it had been I wouldn't have managed to have read them) but they are so goooooood

Also, I would like to apologize on behalf of the fandom that none of us apparently managed any Fritz/Voltaire. Some of us, uh, didn't know enough about Voltaire, and we are Taking Steps to attempt to rectify this in the future if anyone requests it, say, next year. Just saying.

I'm making this post because the last one has an insane number of comments, but I still owe SO many comments on the last post and I kiiiinda would like to read and comment on Yuletide stories for the next week as time permits so I almost hope this post doesn't get much action and then we resume in the new year? (Especially since there is a limited amount of discussion we can do on the fics right now!) :D I was thinking of making another post anyway for reveals.

(*) My husband D came up with this :P :)

He was born in Kiel as Karl Peter Ulrich von Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf, son of the Duke Karl Friedrich von Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf. The claim to the Russian throne came through his mother Anna Petrowna, daughter of Peter I. and sister of the Czarina Elizabeth. When Elizabeth - being unmarried and childless (at least officially, there were rumors, but nothing could ever be proven ) - needed an heir, Peter came to Russia, converted to the Russian Orthodox Faith and was rechristened Pjotr Fjodorewich.
