OK, so I was feeling a bit guilty about not even having made it through the 1730's but WOW it took a REALLY long time to get there, given all the interminable wedding negotiations! There were sure a lot of them.
* Oster has the "don't get married just to get me out of prison" letter, AWWW. I still love the mutual self-sacrifice between these two. YOU TWO. <3
<3
* Oster on Wilhelmine bringing Marwitz to Bayreuth: Little did she know that this girl would one day ruin her marriage.
That's right, blame the woman.
Oh, yeah. Although it is pretty ironic.
Speaking of Fritz and Fredersdorf, as we head into Christmas 1732, Fritz had been visiting FW at Wusterhausen before Wilhelmine arrived! I had missed that and assumed it was the first visit in a while, and wrote accordingly. Oh well! Fanfic takes liberties with chronology.
Ha! I had the same reaction.
[personal profile] cahn, you missed the chance to include that scene. :P (Though historically, as far as I can tell, FW hadn't taken up painting yet. What is fic for if not for chronological liberties!)
OMG. That would have been HILARIOUS and I am deeply mourning the missed opportunity :D
the Sonsfeld who takes care of little Friederike while Wilhelmine is in Berlin is not Sonsine the much loved, but her inexperienced sister who's like, "Halp, a baby, what do?" Or at least so Wilhelmine claims in her letter to try to get money for a proper nurse--I hope that was partly a rhetorical device!
I know, right? Especially since she ended up taking care of the kid for a while! But kid seems to have survived :)
* Judging by the letters and not the memoirs, Fritz had already left for his regiment when the German comedian episode happened, because Wilhelmine reports to him on it.
THAT is one chronological liberty I will stand and die by! Besides, we were writing fanfic of her memoirs. :P
I knoooooow I was so saaaad about that :P Oh well, it makes better fic this way :P
* Fritz of Bayreuth: *loves his baby* Fritz of Bayreuth: Please don't tell your sarcastic brother-in-law. Wilhelmine to Fritz: Please tease my husband about this.
Okay, Wilhelmine?
(And yes, selenak, I do remember you giving us this part! <3 ) So, like...there were several parts, this one, and the bit where Fritz and Fritz of Bayreuth get into a competition to see who loves Wilhelmine most, where I start really remembering that little character sketch selenak wrote about the Erbprinz... it's really kind of unsettling. Definitely emotional incest going on here.
