Toxic old men yaoi

[enlitment]

Okay but hear me out: Fritz/Voltaire Dracula AU.

an (according to himself) innocent man receives an invitation to a castle in a foreign land? check!

the person inviting him is a rich foreigner with aristocratic blood? check!

who greatly admires the language and culture of the man's country? check!

our hero soon discovers there may be something darker lurking beneath the surface? check!

... and he finds it increasingly difficult to leave the place, making him feel like a captive? ...

I'm not asking you at all for the trifles you think I want so much; I don't want it; I only wanted your kindness. I always told you the truth when I told you that I would have liked to die with you. [...] I have been very ill, and I am very old. I admit that I am very rich, very independent, very happy; but you are missing from my happiness, and I will soon die without having seen you. You don't care much about it, and I try not to worry about it. I love your verses, your prose, your wit, your bold and firm philosophy. I couldn't live without you, nor with you. I do not speak to the king, to the hero, that is the business of sovereigns; I speak to the one who enchanted me, whom I loved, and with whom I am still angry.

Voltaire to King Frederick the II of Prussia, March 27, 1759

i dont usually post edits or anything but here, a fritztaire scrap

[le-roi-des-bulgares]

Summer had been calm and I’ve just been printing phone cases… except that I also reread F & V’s letters while (tried to) read (part of) Christiane Mervaud’s study of the letters and it was a blast. The book gives many, many incredible literary and psychological insights. it kind of made me rethink about fritztaire. Bitterness and arguments are so delicious for me as reader but they did hurt them deeply, and are part of the reason why Voltaire stepped away for 4 years from 1760. But the relationship between these two is like a tree that grew from mutual admiration, then intertwined with flaws and pettiness, coped with events of the world, lost some of the original color, while continuing to spiral upwards and span intellectually, to last 42 years and to BE THEM, TOGETHER. after all admiration and attraction was in the root.

Also I’m so grateful for the author to highlight that it was Wilhelmine who made the correspondence in 1757-58 possible, or better it was a three way correspondence. Been trying to collect the letters to actually reflect this!

The letters themselves on the other hand are light and witty and fun (except a few years’) and some passages are wilder than fanfics I still have a hard time grasping their realness? Such a treasure trove. can’t believe it’s my 4th year as a fv shipper and I am still rambling about them daily :-)))))))

By "telling everyone who will listen about their partner" I mean, of course, the 'I hate Luc I never think about him anymore. Here's 10 pages of every thought I've had about him in the past two hours' letters to d'Argental and d'Alembert.

Didn't know what to put for the slowburn one. I feel like that needs to be on the specific side. Cause you've got Fritz on literally day fucking one "iF i CaNnoT hAvE tHe PlEaSuRe Of PoSsEsSiNg YoU~~" like yeah that was '36 and they didn't meet until '40 but bitch was down bad from the beginning. V? Who fucking knows. He just Writes Like That.

Hello! Do you have any books reccomendations that go into detail of Fritz and Voltaire relationship? (Possibly in english 😭)

Hi 👋

I think you can get some infos about their relationship in Blanning's bio of Fritz and in Wilhelmine's memoirs (it exists in English iirc), same for Voltaire's memoires, but the more detailed you could get are their letters, available in english on internet archive, they are pretty funny to read, and are not tainted by the author's pov as the memoires can be !

Hope it helped, and for my fellow fritztaire pals, feel free to correct me/add some suggestions

Now I know Dante lived in the 14th century but this is clearly about Voltaire and Fritz. To me.

[jessneveralone]

I can't believe the two of them were so nice to each other. Later it will get worse

*I just drew this picture after I dreamed about them *
