Fritz/MT, the AU that will not die! I feel validated in asking for it for Yuletide that everyone else seems to like this AU as well :P
...Of COURSE Zimmermann ships Fritz/MT, of course! I mean, he had HER portrait as well, IN HIS BEDROOM, what other explanation could there be!
Lastly, Zimmermann says the Fritz/MT marriage would have saved the HRE from the Seven Years War and saved thousands and thousands of lives and thus he‘s a shipper, err, he regrets Fritz didn‘t get away and got to do it. (For Europe, and since the only good thing the MT/Franz Stephan marriage produced was Joseph. )
Heh, that's interesting to me that he thinks that -- I mean, I guess it's certainly true to first approximation that Fritz/MT would have meant no Seven Years War -- but this is Fritz we're talking about here...
(Gloating Franzl at the engagement party takes the cake, though. Zimmermann, you should have tried writing soap operas, you have a gift.)
LOLOLOL gloating Franzl was the best part! I agree, Zimmermann should definitely have written soap operas. Or RPF fanfic. Wait, he already did that :D
Zimmermann might have been the very first Fritz/MT-shipper, come to think of it! In the 19th century, others joined, but in 1790 she and he were too recently dead, and both Prussia and Austria being humiliated by Napoleon, which led to Fritz and MT being recalled as national champions with hurt pride and fondness hadn‘t happened yet.
Meanwhile, everyone else in the 18th century was antishipping them („our Protestant hero would never!!!!“, and, of course, Eugene going „...that‘s one dangerous young man“ when Fritz first proposed the idea), so ZImmermann was a true pioneer.
ROTFL. And Katte (a lying liar who lies while under threat of torture, anyway) claimed to be trying to help Fritz *escape* from this Evil Catholic Plot...so truly a pioneer!
