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).

I have been immersed in Hamilton for the past few weeks and that fanfic is unbearably great. Glad I'm not the only one totally slashing Philip and Theodosia Jr., too.

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