Re: Toppings of all types, continued - the Curious Case of the Recurring Favourite

You do need to prompt it. because I can't write sex. I can write subtext, without a problem, and I hope in a hot way, I enjoy reading erotic scenes written by people who have the gift of writing sex which doesn't read like a gymnastics manual, but I don't have it in me myself, alas.

Which is a particular shame in this case because:

With the added incesty/self-cesty overtones?

These are absolutely a thing in my head for them. I not so completely joked to Mildred and Cahn months ago that if you ever need a ship for hatesex in this fandom, Fritz/Heinrich would be it. (Clarifcation: as with Fritz/Voltaire, I don't believe anything actually happened in rl. But the emotional undertones and intensity are there for fanfiction to evolve, which fanfiction always does.) And the fact that they may have had sex with the same guy is a canonical starting point.

Also, because of the age difference - Heinrich is 4 when Katte dies! - and the fact that Fritz post-Küstrin was only rarely in Berlin until FW dies, it's worth pointing out he doesn't really get to know this particular brother until Heinrich is 14, and Fritz takes over his life. Err, education. But also life. This is when they start to interact, but due to Fritz being a very busy King and the Silesian wars, they don't really spent much time in physical proximity of each other until the later part of Silesia 2 when Heinrich joins Fritz in the field. And the Marwitz affair is when they first clash, which I don't think is so coincidentally when Heinrich is 19 and not a child anymore.

ETA: I'm not on Tumblr, but I google now and then, and this cracked me up.
