If I can pull enough of a plot together to make it a proper mystery, I plan on doing some casefic for Robert Barnard’s Mr Mozart series (“http://www.uchronia.net/label/barnmozart.html”), a couple of alt history novels where the Mozart family moves to London during the 1760s and Wolfgang lives into his eighties as a grumpy hack theatre composer and accompanist (and eventual music teacher to a young Victoria), lamenting the successes he obviously would have had back in Salzburg and Vienna and getting dragged into murder mysteries and political intrigue by various patrons. There are hints at unwritten mysteries (and loads of imaginary operas) throughout, and I’ve long wished it was a lengthy mystery series and not so clearly a joke Barnard came up with after watching Amadeus.
Right now, my fic idea will likely pick up on some of the mentions of Mr Mozart’s disappointing trips to the Continent prior to the events of Dead, Mr Mozart. I’m thinking either something where he somehow gets attached to the British delegation to the Congress of Vienna and winds up in a kind of bickering composer-detective thing with Salieri involving French spies or a visit to Salzburg where Nannerl winds up solving the mystery.
