Check out the opera clips at Rheinsberg!

(both the real-life place, which selenak found out hosts a festival for young opera singers! and the community rheinsberg)

Also! our fandom has been producing lovely fic at a rapid clip (okay, well, selenak has):

Sibling dysfunction: Promises to Keep and My Brother Narcissus

Sibling dysfunction PLUS sibling M/M love triangle: The moon flies face to face with me

VOLTAIRE! Between the hour and the age

Re: Katte! - execution details

Sire, there was once a lion and a rat; the rat fell in love with the lion and went to pay him court. The lion gave him a little blow with his paw. The rat disappeared into his rat hole again, but he still loved the lion; and one day when he saw the net spun to catch the lion and kill him, he gnawed through one of the stitches. Sire, the rat kisses with most humble submission your charming claws; he will never die between two Capuchins as a bull dog from Saint Malo has done in Basel. He would have prefered to die next to his lion. You may believe the rat was more devoted to you than the bull dog.

This is hilarious, and touching in the more-than-half-ironic way anything with Voltaire is touching <3

(I waaaaaant that AU :D I should make a list for Yuletide! Yes, I know, it's only April...)

Yuletide fic brainstorming

[mildred_of_midgard]

Let's see:

Voltaire rescues Fritz via the power of trashy pamphlets
Fredersdorf and Georgii (with or without time travel!)
Adventures in Rococo Babysitting
Broccoli tests (if no one has written it by then)

What else?

ETA: Mimi and the pandurs!

ETA2: Heinrich running into Barbarina and Schmeling-Mara during his second Paris visit at a Parisian café

Also, I think Fredersdorf and Georgii should be written both *with* and *without* time travel. You could get two totally different fics out of them.
