Summary
Alexander Hamilton never learned to take his time, cut himself any slack, or rely on anyone else. In his mind, he has to be okay, because what's he going to do if he's not? Long story short, he's been running on empty for too long, and old habits die hard.
Aaron Burr has never liked himself. He's spent so long surviving that living doesn't even feel like an option. Now faced with such a wide world, would it even matter if he wasn't in it? and can anything fill the hollow in his chest?

Summary
Alexander Hamilton didn't come from much. His mother's death followed by abuse at the hand of the system had landed him in Manhattan, aching for a more gentle hand. despite being acutely aware that if he ever returned to the world he knew, it would likely be as ash, he never stopped trying to survive. Inside, he was selfless, loving and full of ambition, paired with an unwavering resolve that was both beautiful and dangerous.
But no one noticed any of that. The world reduced him to his silence, and why wouldn't they? there didn't look to be anything special about that kid.John Laurens was tired, like an over-watered houseplant in a golden vase, he was desperate for a little sunlight. To him, New York was a haunted playhouse, trapped on stage with an ill-fitting mask and under strict orders to keep performing. Missing his home in the south and suffocated by the loss of his mother, he coped with fancy liquor and designer drugs. However, At the bottom of the bottle was immeasurable suffering, profound loneliness and a desperation to get better.
No one saw that part, and can you blame them? There didn't look to be any saving this kid.But looks can be deceiving.
