I will make a real post about Hamilton later
But in advance of the certain deluge of Hamilton/Burr hatesex from Yuletide, may I suggest to the slash writers Hamilton/Laurens, which is also suggested by the lyrics and has the advantage of being a genuine historical possibility? As in, here's an academic article (PDF) on the subject?
(I'll also be interested, in a sort of anthropological way, how much fic writers take up the blatant Hamilton/Washington daddy issues--not my thing, having recently-ish acquired a power-differential squick--but really, the lyrics are flat-out inviting it.)
I would also like to strongly encourage everybody-lives-and-nobody-cheats AUs; here's a delightful modern one from magneticwave called "the challenge demands satisfaction" (4k, teen and up).
*goes back to mentally practicing "revolutionary manumission abolitionists" while waiting for doctor*

Glad you liked! And yes, everybody lives, nobody dies, and they drive their parents up a wall.

I will absolutely admit to being one of the people planning (wriggling with anticipation) to request Hamilton/Washington for Yuletide. They had me at "call me son one more time"
Hamilton/Laurens would be quite okay too. ;)

Hee! Yes, that was a very... fraught... moment.
Laurens is great, let us hope he gets some appreciation as a beautiful cinnamon roll.

My pet theory, borrowed from rydra_wong , is that it's hitting the same "fannish like us!" button as Night Vale: widely referential while doing something that feels fresh and unlikely.
