but if I were to write a shipping manifesto, I would quote the most adorable letter where Fredersdorf is asked to be at the window so Fritz can see him when riding out but NOT to open the window, and to have the fireplace active, because that embodies "doting husband" and is good shipping fodder.
SAME! You may remember I fell in love instantly with that letter and immediately shared it with salon.
Sadly, I don't think Blanning is writing a shipping manifesto for Fritz/Fredersdorf, just a "Fritz was gay, people" manifesto, which is why Carel gets so much space in that paragraph.
that two years younger than Fredersdorf Fritz
Four years! Or, three and a half, but close enough: Fredersdorf was born mid-1708, Fritz January 1712.
Plus the fact Fritz wrote this after knowing Fredersdorf for eons, not in the heat of first passion, is what makes it the ice of the shipping cake for me.

It's definitely the healthiest, and the one I would recommend irl. That doesn't meant it's the one I'm most fannish about. ;) Similarly, Fritz is not the head of state I would vote for real life. I just find him more interesting than all the other heads of state.
