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 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. ;)

It may cheer you to know that (based on my brief glances over there) Tumblr seems to be all over Hamilton/Laurens and the historical possibility thereof, and Lin-Manuel Miranda is helping:

At the line "A tolerance for pain" the friend I was seeing the show with actually gasped. Whole new vistas of fanfic opened up before me.
