I loved all the Amalie & Wilhelmine, which was one of the prompts/requests I had which was afraid would never be fulfilled!
Re: future fic -more seriously, I try not to repeat myself, so no time travel in my immediate writing future, though once I have some temporal (ha!) distance and can approach the subject from a new angle, who knows?
Something not completely unrelated to write as a crackfic treated seriously: Frederician Christmas Carol, starring Fritz as Scrooge, of course. He even comes with a wary nephew (future FW2), and you can make the case for either Katte or Wilhelmine as the ghost of Christmas Past. The dialogue with either would have to contain "if I could change the past, I would" ideas.
Ghost of Christmas Future: Napoleon, who in 1806 will defeat Prussia and thus end the Fritz started legend of Prussian invincibility and what's left of Frederician Prussia for good. (Of course Prussia gets back to European superpower status once Napoleon is defeated, but it's a changed Prussia with no more Frederician enlightenment ideas and lots of religious traditionality instead, but otoh a reformed army which has taken all the changes since Fritz' time into account instead of just relying on his reputation.) Victorious Napoleon visiting Fritz' tomb - the one Fritz didn't want to lie in, next to Dad in a church! - is a sight sure to shock Fritz the way his tomb shocked Scrooge!
I can't decide on the Ghost of Christmas Present and who gets to be Bob Cratchit, though. Lucchesini for the later? (Fredersdorf is dead and Catt is out of favor.) Heinrich is telling me "don't you dare!" at my tentatively eying him as Bob Cratchit, abused but loyal employe, while EC is eagerly saying she'd like to be Bob Cratchit, but I can't see that, either...
ETA: Marley, though? Is going to be MT. "Maria Theresia was dead, to begin with", and instead of a doorknob, that portrait of hers which Fritz kept in his study is going to talk to him.
