Man, this title makes me laugh but also hungry every time I see it. I should have picked a different one. :P
A couple comments I wanted to reply to here instead of AO3, for greater visibility.
selenak: good to know that in the modern world, Catherine can resort to divorce and still get to be CEO instead of having to use the, err, traditional method.
The modern setting is a fix-it for some things and a break-it for others.
Fixed: Stigma-free no fault divorce for women.
Broken: Fritz has access to Slack and text messages and expects round-the-clock instantaneous responses. Can you imagine? 18th century people, you didn't know how good you had it with the postal service. ;)
:D
cahn: Thank you for this delightful snippet of Corporate AU, I would love to see more in this universe :D
My immediate response: If I write a fic that picks up immediately where this one left off, it's going to be titled "Kaphengst Kommt" and rated M. ;)
More seriously, thoughts that suggest themselves: - First Polish Partition on the Europe trip with Catherine. - Catherine being shocked to find that her kids are being raised with Poniatowski-influenced values instead of only hers. - Fritz/Mike, where Mike is the CFO but also so much else. <3 - Mike talks a reluctant Fritz into therapy? - Okay, but I'm serious about the Kaphengst porn. :P
And who knows what else. But I also want to study German and French and Voltaire and write a Voltaire/Heinrich showdown sequel to a certain other fic, so who knows what 2021 will bring. :D I still haven't given up hope on that fix-it fic where everyone escapes to France!
In the meantime, I'm delighted my rushed last-minute borderline crackfic brought the chortles and the giggles it was intended to. You two are the best of readers and commenters!
