To no one's surprise, my story was the 18th Century. To my considerable surprise, my recipient wasn't a salon friend but completely new to me, so I was a bit nervous. My recipient had asked for Voltaire and given several good prompts, but the problem was that I had already written the story about Émilie du Chatelet, and the story about his love/hate relationship with Frederick the Great. However, fortunately Gummy_bean added that while Madame Denis, Voltaire's niece-slash-companion-slash-lover of decades, had not been among the offered characters, they would also love something centered on her if I were so inclined. I most definitely was - that was the one significant character and relationship I hadn't focused on fictionally before, and also one who usually gets a lot of condescension and dislike by biographers. Say no more, recipient, thought I, reading the prompt, and voila: the story:

Summary:

What was it like, being in a polycule with Voltaire, Émilie du Châtelet and Frederick the Great? Madame Denis tells all!

If this year's Yuletide stories written by yours truly had a theme, it was "comedy with dark undertones". I had originally planned something else as my main gift to write, but then firstly a lot of real life stuff happened, and secondly I wanted to cheer myself up while writing, so I continued my quest to throw the most unlikely outrageous tropes at Frederick the Great. This time, it was babysitting comedy. Not involving an actual baby, but his ten years old brother, whom no one tries to eata, but it was still an eerie feeling to watch this year's Doctor Who Christmas Special and see that RTD had gone for babysitting comedy tropes as well. With my thing for messy family relationships in general and siblings relationships in particular, I always enjoy writing Frederick and the brother who was way too much like him for them to get on, and Frederick with my favourite of his long term boyfriends, Fredersdorf.

Otoh, this story is another example of my tendency to get drawn into a fandom and emerge being primarily interest in not the juggernaut pairing and/or the characters the friend who tried to get me interested in. Not that the Third Century Crisis followed by the Tetrarchy in the late Roman Empire is a megafandom, and thus does not have a juggernaut pairing. But if there was one, it surely would have been the Emperors Diocletian/Maximian, who are the guys mildred_of_midgard wants to hear/read about. But while I do find them interesting, I am even more interested in the women around them - and one woman who started out really low on the social scale but ended up not just on top but surviving the various changes in power which had much of the remaining cast drop off like flies was Helena. Yes, the mother of Constatine (the Great). No, she wasn't a British princess. Why not more people fictionalizing her used her actual origins as a barmaid which are way more interesting at least from the 20th century onwards is a mystery to me, but hey: all the more fun to write about her for me, and to provide her perspective on the late Roman Game of Thrones:

Émilie du Chatelet (see icon) was one of the most fascinating women (and scientists) of the Enlightenment. Now when I wrote my Voltaire and Frederick the Great story a couple of years ago, I could only give her a supporting part there, because of the different focus, but I always wanted to put her center stage in a story as well, and this Exchange afforded me the opportunity to:

If Émilie/Voltaire is such a well documented relationship that it was tricky to distill its essence into a short story, the relationship between Sheridan and Elizabeth Lochley has to be one of the most underwritten on Babylon 5, and not just because Lochley only shows up in the last season. However, we did get fragments of backstory, and it's been my pleasure trying to flesh them out into a coherent whole:

May 2023 be a good year for you. I celebrated with my APs, and a good tiime was had by all, though also some sadness due to various illnesses in the wider family. Now, about Yuletide: my assignment was a story for cahn. Originally, I had planned to write her another trope combined with history - body switching, to be precise, but when I plotted and pondered, the irresitable idea occured to me to do a time loop story instead. Less Groundhog Day than Russian Doll, though, starring Frederick the Great as Nadia. (The personalities completely match, trust me on this. I now propose Natasha Lyonne to follow Katharina Thalbach's footsteps and be the next female actress playing Frederick.) Incidentally, I went back and thro as ato whether to list this story as a fusion rather than an "inspired by", but ultimately went with the later, because while, Nadia/Frederick identity aside, I took another key twist from Russian Doll - ( which is spoilery - ), I abandoned others, such as the fact that in the Russian Doll universe, said verse is shrinking and more people are disappearing the longer the loop goes on. As it was iimportant for my story that Frederick should be seriously tempted at one point to stay within the loop (which is more Nadia s2 than Nadia s1), this could not be the case.

Anyway, next I had to figiure out when to set my story, and since I wanted it to be more funny than not as a present, setting it during one of the wars was out. Also, cahn had wished for Frederick, Voltaire and Frederick's younger brother Heinrich/Henry to be all in the story, and without going (more?) AU about this, this meant the 1750 - 1753 era when Voltaire was actually living in Prussia was the ideal time frame. Moroever, the repeating day should be a bad one for our antihero, but not "gets his boyfriend executed in front of him by father when he's 18" level of bad. Thankfully, there were a less than thrilling couple of days in the autumn of 1753 that came to mind, what with the ongoing hilaribad trainwreck of the Frederick/Voltaire relationship at that point and, not completely unrelatedly, Frederick's long time companion Fredersdorf wanting to get married. Not a day you want to get stuck in even if you have less issues than Prussian!Nadia, err, Frederick the Great. I thus had my premise and plotted this:

As for my own contributions, I wrote a trick and a treat, one of them less obvious than the other. :)

This year, I wrote three stories, two of whom weren't 18th Century but 16th, i.e. Renaissance instead of Rokoko, and a result of me getting fascinated with several of the (mostly female) 16th century Habsburgs. Mind you, I ended up not writing about the Margaret of Austria I'd been tentatively eyeing as a subject, but about her great niece Margaret of Parma (also of Austria, because "Parma" was a later life aquisition) instead. This was because cahn's prompt about teenage detective Margaret trying to figure out the murder of her (first) husband, Alessandro de' Medici, was irresistable to me. Presto:

Summary:

When Alessandro de' Medici is murdered, his teenage bride Margaret of Austria may be one of the few people sincerely mourning him - and determined to find out the truth. For the killer is one of Alessandro's closest friends, and Alessandro, the first Duke of Florence, both a bastard of uncertain parentage and a black man, had more than his share of enemies...

Incidentally, anything you need to know about the background is mentioned in the story itself, so even if you don't know your Medici from your Farnese, enjoy (I hope).

While I was at it, I wrote cahn a treat in the same fandom. Margaret (of Parma) had been the product of her father the Emperor Charles V.'s younger years; whereas his last mistress, Barbara Blomberg, happened decades later, which is why she's around relatively young and definitely not willing to retire when the Duke of Alba becomes the terror of the Netherlands. The working title for this was "Barbara Blomberg vs Spain", and I had a blast writing it.

Now, just because I got intrigued with 16th century Habsburgs doesn't mean I said goodbye to 18th century Prussians. But I was really really busy in December, so I didn't know whether I'd manage to finish my third story in time. (As it was, I literally finished it at Christmas Eve.) If I hadn't managed that, it would have gone to Yuletide Madness and been dedicated to mildred_of_midgard instead. Of course I could have done that anyway, but: a) this is actually a Christmas story. As in, it mostly takes place on December 26th (1731). There are two theories about how and when Frederick the Great met his future valet, counciller, treasurer, spy master, unofficial PM and basically life partner Fredersdorf, and cahn and mildred_of_midgard had already written me a beautiful version of the first one two Yuletides ago, so I've always been meaning to thank them by writing a version based on the second theory. And b) This way, both Mildred and Cahn got the story on Christmas. So here it is, the meeting between one traumatized Prince and budding magnificent bastard with the guy whom he was arguably closest to in his life:

Summary:

Having survived a year of imprisonment and haunted by the death of Katte, Crown Prince Friedrich of Prussia is determined to focus on nothing but ambition, and shut out all sentiment. But the Christmas of 1731 has a surprise in store for him: Michael Gabriel Fredersdorf...

When luring mildred_of_midgard into participating in ficathons over a year ago, I used the bribe of indicating this might be the occasion for fanfiction starring Peter (von) Keith to happen. Peter usually, if he shows up at all in historical fiction, plays a minor supporting role in the big 1730 tragedy of Frederick the Great's youth, the escape attempt plus ensuing bff (and probable lover) execution and prison stint, as the other friend and possible lover who did make it out of Prussia alive. Since for understandable reasons most 1730 dealing fiction is focused on Frederick and Katte (the tragically executed (boy)friend), having to deal with this other guy involved is something probably deemed as just too confusing and/ior disrupting the OTP intensity, and thus Peter ends up either being confused with his younger brother (who was physically present during the disaster of an escape attempt and 'fessed up about it), or left out altogether. (I've even seen a tv series where Peter, his brother and Katte are made into the same character.)

However, as it turns out - and as mildred_of_midgard found out and chronicled in this post - there is actually a lot to learn about Peter (and his relationships) if you care to look, and I have always had a soft spot for those characters who survive a tragedy and then have to rebuild their lives from scratch, who know they might not have the great central starring role in the drama they're caught up in but do the best with the part they're given regardless, forging their own happiness. So it was my pleasure to (finally!) write the promised Peter (von) Keith story for her, for which there could only be one title:

Summary:

In 1730, three young men try to escape Prussia: Crown Prince Friedrich, Hans Herrmann von Katte - and Peter von Keith. Only one of them succeeds. As Peter finds himself free (unlike Friedrich) and alive (unlike Katte), he also finds himself haunted by love and guilt while searching for a way to make his own future.

Now I had planned to write a lighthearted treat in the same fandom as well, around an idea I nicknamed in my head "Two sugar daddies, no waiting", but this year I really did not find the time. Otoh, I was spoiled as a reader both with the wonderful Voltaire and Frederick as BNFs in modern fandom AU which cahn wrote for me, and by the just as hilarious "Challenge yourrself to relax", a Corporate AU Mildred wrote for cahn in which Frederick as a CEO is only slightly less driven and dysfunctional than he was as King...but at least there are coffee mugs for his long suffering supporting cast. :)

The unsent_letters_exchange authors were revealed. As mentioned before, I went back to two old fandoms of mine for this. My assignment actually matched me in several of those, but the one I had signed up for was Star Wars, and of the various prompts, the one that immediately spoke to me was about Anakin's mother Shmi. Shmi had only a bit of screentime, but Pernille August gave her presence and warmth, and I was happy to explore her emotions and mind in this format:

Now, one of my oldest fannish friends had discovered The Borgias this year, and, like yours truly, quickly discovered that if you're not into Cesare/Lucrezia, and/or Cesare/Micheletto, there isn't much fanfic to be had. Just when she'd drawn this conclusion, I stumbled across this ficathon which I hadn't done before. Let's participate, quoth I, and thus be part of the solution to this problem. We weren't matched, but I thought after luring her into this the least I could do was write her a treat, which I did:

The Star Trek Holiday ficathon stories have been revealed. My own contribution was a return to DS9 and the Cardassians, though a combination I had written previously only in relations to other people about, save in a drabble. My recipient wanted a story focused on Ziyal and Dukat, and exploration of the time they spent on Cardassia between the episodes Indiscretion and Return to Grace. Now as I said, I’ve written Dukat before, and Ziyal also shows up in some (other) of my stories. But this was a chance to explore Ziyal at a key transition point of her (brief) life, and so I could do something new in one of my oldest fandoms, which I found very rewarding:
