I KNOW RIGHT? Hopelessly smitten. The thing is, this isn't actually surprising, or shouldn't be, because even before Voltaire came to stay with him, he was telling everyone how Voltaire was the lowest of the low, and "OH GOD I WANT HIM SO BAD, freaking Émilie. Freaking indissoluble bonds. *pouts*"

Question: in your "Katte lives" AUs - does Fritz still have that type of relationship with Voltaire? And if so, what on earth does Katte make of it?

Also: who was it again that told Voltaire of Fritz "he's like an orange, I'll squeeze him dry" remark? (That even ended up in Mein Name ist Bach.) Not also Maupertuis?
