    Yes, it's the sorta-crossover that answers the question no one even thought to ask: what if, instead of being about an American founding father, Hamilton were instead a musical about Chicago's favorite wizard PI? Inspired by this Reddit post where it's pointed out that Jim Butcher looks kind of like Lin-Manuel Miranda and the comment I left after hashing out about the first half of this song for a crazed few hours in the middle of the night. There will be one(-ish) song per book.

    Summary

    Based on a writing prompt I saw:

    https://x.com/KaylaAncrum/status/1748613400010121444

    "Man who falls in love with a sphynx and solves her riddles daily, in spite of the threat to his life.
    The boon he requests every night is to sleep by her side in the warm sand and wake up safe. As he grows old, then forgetful, she reconfigures her riddles to accept any answer."

    I took this in my own direction.

    Summary

    Samuel Dalton was a complete fiction, of course, but that didn't mean that when Sam Reich snuck back upstairs to get tied up in the “out of order” bathroom, the Sam that remained on the monitor, laughing at the contestants, was a pre-recording. And if Brennan, Siobhan and Lou had snorted at the idea of a time-travelling evil magician great-grandfather (for good reason), going in with the actual truth of the matter would have sounded like jumping the shark.
    It sounded bizarre, but the time travel bit was the only part about his new partner in crime that was confirmably real. Admittedly, the jury was still out on “evil”—he gave off a weird vibe at times, but so far, no lines had been crossed, and it had all been funny as hell—so for now, Sam was willing to roll with it. But perhaps most surprisingly, there wasn’t even the possibility of blood relation between Samuel Dalton Reich and the guy who had shown up out of the blue one day with his exact face and a plan to really fuck around with things on Game Changer.
    Yeah, the whole alien thing had really ruled out that particular prospect.
    or:
    game changer gets somewhat more dangerous when sam's doppelganger turns up with ideas.

    Summary

    The singer turned her red-painted pout to the crowd, hamming it up as she crossed the stage. Her backing band wore shabby suits, and her slinky black dress looked like it had come from a costume trunk, a poor person’s idea of what a rich person might wear, but she had a certain jaunty charisma, an infectious smile, and the beginnings of a healthy flush on her cheeks.

    On the edge of the marble dance floor, Sabina closed her eyes and massaged her temples.

     

    In 1966, an ageless vampire known as Sabina encounters the lead singer of a New Jersey-based Halloween novelty band called Vera and the Vamps. Annoyance soon gives way to other emotions.

    Summary

    Don and Kathy would move in together. They would have a dog or two and then inevitably, a small parade of adorable little brats who would call him Uncle Cosmo, and they would spend less and less time with him, not on purpose but busy with the rest of their lives, and ultimately Cosmo would learn to make his peace with it because he’d have no other choice and he would have to try to move on and not live too much in his memories. He could picture it so clearly, he figured if the songwriting gig with Monumental didn’t pan out, he could always return to the backwater circuit with a new act: The Amazing Cosmo of the Cosmos—ladies and gentlemen, he sees the future, he reads the stars, he silently pines for his best married pal and all the while tap dancing!

    Don and Kathy inviting him along on their honeymoon, though—that part was a surprise.
