Rare Male Slash Exchange has opened! And I received the hilarious fandom AU of my dreams. My friends, I knew Frederick the Great and Voltaire and their ridiculously over the top relationship were made to be AU'd into a couple of fic writing BNFs and moderators, but I never imagined this perfection, which had me laughing all the way through when I wasn't nodding ruefully in recognition. (Of fannish dynamics in general as well as those of these particular people.) Read and enjoy:

A well-known exchange mod gets together with the BNF he's been chasing for a while to co-mod an exchange. Sparks fly and gossipy sensationalism abounds!... but unfortunately not just the sexy kind.

Haha, that was great even to someone only vaguely familiar with all the RL drama. I appreciated the translations in your comment. Principle/Principal of Least Action wank was amazing.

Wasn't it just? I'm glad you enjoyed it!
