(Heinrich: does that mean this is the AU where I end up in Slytherin without Fritz as my warning example?
Self: Could be. Could also be, otoh, that this is the AU where you hero worship him from afar as the legendary cool older brother who got away! He's your role model (in the non-screwed up sense)!)
Either works for me! Since it's a fix-it-for-everyone fic, maybe the latter. :P He and AW can hang out and be chill together, and he ends up as advisor to his beloved older brother.
And hey, Cirey is way closer than Straßburg. So a cameo is entirely possible. Doesn't Emily have kids Duhan could teach?
Ooh, I like it! No kids of teachable age until the latter part of the 1730s, and I don't think she and Voltaire start renovating Cirey until the mid 1730s, but depending on how far in the future this fic goes (and it has to go at least to a Grand Tour in the 1730s), we could end up seeing a visit to or from Cirey. And I have actually been thinking of looking for a more long-term position for Duhan.
