   • Carlos is such a drama queen it's not even funny anymore
   • its been my headcanon for so long now that Carlos and Rodrigo wear matching rings
   • in lieu of a friendship bracelet because they're BESTIES of course
   • so this fic is really just an excuse to weave that little headcanon in there somewhere
   • as someone on tumblr once said - the official title of the play should be
   • Don Karlos: Infant von Spanien oder Briefe. So viele Briefe.
   • Pre-Canon
   • also Elizabeth has a lil cameo here but Carlos doesn't give a damn about her yet
   • call it my pathetic attempt at irony and humour

   Summary

   He exists in the spaces of time between one letter and another. By the time the next one comes, he already knows the previous one by heart. The paper is marred with his kisses, the ink smeared with his tears. This is not goodbye forever.

   ***
   Rodrigo embarks on his great, life-changing journey around Europe. Carlos stays in Spain, where is the Royal Infant's place. Alone.
