Yay! Since none of our Fredericians made it to reviewed status yet, I edited Fritz/Manteuffel in, since I have a vague idea for a "young Fritz and two Saxon sugar daddies" story. (Though don't worry, the Peter idea is far more definite and will be dealt with first.)

Ooh! I am intrigued!

In related news, I went looking for books about Joseph that are 1) not too expensive, 2) in English, 3) available in the US, in the interests of actually being able to read one in 2021, and I was able to purchase a short volume by Tim Blanning for $15 that's supposed to arrive Friday. So no promises, but you can see me making an effort. :) (Fic aside, reading something about Joseph has been on my to-do list for quite a while, and Blanning's the best I can do on short notice. At the very least, his Fritz bio was eminently readable, and remains the best of the Fritz bios I've read, despite errors.)

Are there any I should nominate that haven't already been nominated but that you guys would like to see?

Lord Hervey/Algarotti, which, if the muse strikes, might enable me to get a story about the triangle with Lady Mary in. Or just a story about Lady Mary and Algarotti in their final years in Italy meeting again, reminscing about Hervey, and with her quizzing him about Fritz (and teasing him about the fact he writes poems for both Fritz and MT, just in case, since this is during the 7 Years War). (Hey, if it's a crack fic, one could mention him posting the wrong poem to the wrong monarch.)

OK! Won't get to it tonight, but. uh. I spent a bit too much time today figuring out other pairings I might like in other fandoms, so I have a slate to do and will try to get it done in the next couple of days.
