The Problematic Courtships of Prince Ludwig - Ludwig Kakumei
Characters/Pairings: slight Ludwig/Wilhelm
Warnings: Ludwig’s stubbornness about only marrying a stacked princess, morbid fairy tale based. Pretty much what you get in the original series.
Summary: Ludwig continues his search for a worthy bride, but continues to fail miserably.
Comments: You know, Ludwig Kakumei is one of those series I never would have expected to find fic for. Too obscure. But god, I love Ludwig. His absolute selfishness (except not quite), his shallowness, his not-quite-slashy relationship with his manservant, all these never fail to amuse me. And I have a massive weak spot for twists on fairy tales. And this fic feels almost exactly like a chapter of Ludwig Kakumei to me. And I just really, really enjoyed that.
Edited May 11, 2006 to fix the link.
One-shot, complete.
Er, sorry to bother, your recs have been WONDERFUL, but izzy_b’s journal seems to have been deleted and I -reallyy- wanted to read this (never seen a ludwig kakumei fanfic before), so I was wondering if you either have a saved copy of this or another link?

Thanks so much for replying. (And so promptly, too.)
Unfortunately, I didn’t get the link until now. And…maboroshi_hime’s journal? Also deleted. I have horrible luck, don’t I? -_-

Ack. Well, she’s shifted her writing journal to teatreemint, but the fic isn’t up there. So I don’t know, but I’m asking her, because damnit, I like that fic. (And sorry for taking so long to respond - I was kind of on hiatus.)

Thanks, and thanks very much for following up for me. ^^ (saw your comment on her masterlist page)
Actually, she was also nice enough to direct me to the fic when I found her new journal, but thankyou so much for the effort anyway. Hopefully other fans will be able to read it now too, hm?
