What started Voltaire's grudge against Fritz, we may ask? Well, his scorned love for Ulrike, of course.

*chokes*

" Preferably, I want us to die on the same day, and buried in the same tomb, so our dust can intermingle and we're never ever separated again."

That is touching and rococo and Fritzian, and one of the Fritzian things about it is that I'm as usual like "...that was one orientation and two sex drives away from being a terrible scandal, wasn't it."

"Another stroke of genius by my brother which will set the rest of Europe against us."

Yeah, that sounds pretty clever to me too. Poor Amalie. (Poor women in 18thC, including Everyone In Your Comment.)

OK, remind me, is Charlotte the one who had the daughter who was shockingly actually a good mom?

AW was the recipient of a dog letter as well!

Awwww!

his incomprehensible hate-on post AW's death he shared with Heinrich

*headdesk*

Drum roll: EC was taller than Fritz.

I... wow... I am sort of inarticulately flailing with wrongness over here :P

...I feel like sending Eva Ziebura flowers right now.

Can we send her fan mail, at least? Although I suppose fanmail from mildred and me might not be wholly appreciated -- "we can't actually read your writing but we LOVE IT AND YOU ARE AWESOME!!"

Yup. Every time I imagine a het Fritz and two people who enjoy sex, I'm like..."I see almost no way to a non-incestuous scenario here."

Although I suppose fanmail from mildred and me might not be wholly appreciated -- "we can't actually read your writing but we LOVE IT AND YOU ARE AWESOME!!"

I don't know, that might be extra appreciated! :P After all, it's the content, not the style that we're all appreciating.

Certainly selenak's role as intermediary is appreciated by all and sundry. :D
