Speaking of mutual jealousy, the horror dramolett thingie by Heiner Müller which I linked earlier has Wilhelmine and Fritz openly competing romantically for Katte. (Müller does have Fritz gay, no subtext.) This in turn reminded be that for all the invented Wilhelmine/Katte, not once have I read or seen a version where Wilhelmine and Katte are competing for Fritz. Which, you know, makes much more sense with canon. I mean, not exactly on Katte's part, but on Wilhelmine's. Given her resentment of the boyfriends in general and of Katte in particular and of most people she fears Fritz might love more is canon.
Incidentally, all this talk of jealousy made me wonder, not for the first time, how Katte would cope with all the other boyfriends in the AU where FW does not overturn the sentence, he's imprisoned and then freed. Unless one assumes in said AU Fritz isn't interested in Algarotti, is content with only exchanging fannish letters with Voltaire, is blind towards the occasional Georgii or Glasow, and most of all never gets together with Fredersdorf.
