...sadly, it's my turn to be having some hand/shoulder issues from too much computer stuff (I can't imagine why :P ...well actually, it probably has more to do with pandemic and my entire life moving online than fic in particular :PP ) This has happened before and usually doing PT exercises helps it clear up, so we'll see.

So I won't be saying too much, at least not right now, but I just wanted to say that as I'm sure you knew, selenak, mildred betaed both of these and in addition to coming up with a LOT of random plot/character ideas and fixes, hopefully also fixed my seventeen billion historical mistakes (thank you!!), though if any remain please let us know and we'll fix them :D The best correction, which I'm still laughing about, is that at one point I had Fritz's breeches off of him and Mildred informed me that this would have been hard to do (in the rapid timescale of the fic). Historically accurate clothing mechanics in porn for the win! In addition, sprocket betaed "Survived" and fixed the structure so the thing actually flows properly (thank you!!)

I am totally blaming your (Selena's and Mildred's) discussion of Fritz/Heinrich a couple of months ago for "Affair," though :PP I swear I had not given it all that much thought beforehand (okay, maybe a little when reading selena's Marwitz fic) but that remark about how Heinrich thought it was hatesex and Fritz thought it was comfortsex -- like mildred says, I COULDN'T UNSEE IT.

The last section and first section of "Survived" were actually written at the same time I wrote Fredersdorf's Very Secret Diary, when you asked for it with that title, Selena. I had always wanted to write the less crack-filled, more servant-centric version for you, but lost my nerve and went for crack instead. Anyhow, I had always meant to write it, but I guess needed that extra push from mildred :P
