    Summary

    Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson had never seen eye to eye. As the two most ambitious men in the office, both working just beneath George Washington, their rivalry was infamous—shouting matches in meetings, snide remarks in emails, and a tension so thick it could choke a man. Their coworkers had long since learned to keep them apart, even moving their offices to opposite ends of the building.

    But tension had a way of demanding release. One particularly heated argument, late at night in the empty office, left them breathless, standing too close, eyes locked. Maybe all that anger wasn’t just hatred. Maybe they just needed to fuck some of that tension out.

    Summary

    John felt the air leave his lungs for the second time that day. The word pretty, the very word that had made him want to vomit with guilt on the road, it sounded like a benediction coming from Alexander’s lips. He should pull away. He should call the surgeon. He should remind Alexander of Eliza, of the war, of the law.

    But Alexander’s hands on his shoulders were anchoring him. And he would be lying to himself if he said that wasn’t exactly what he wanted.

    or

    Laurens comes back from a mission in France, and realizes he has feelings for Alexander.

    Summary

    SPOILERS TO Good night, mister Hamilton

     

    Hamilton survived 12th of July thanks to what some call ‘Providence’. But only few knew the truth — it was in fact sitting president Thomas Jefferson, who stopped the duel. What began as an interruption of murder soon becomes an interruption of life itself, as two lifelong enemies find themselves bound by a secret more dangerous than pamphlet either of them could pen. In the glitter of receptions and the silence of midnight meetings, rivalry gives way to something far more volatile — a battle neither man prepared to fight.

    Summary

    'So, it turns out I don’t know to change the timer on the central heating in my apartment. I guess you always did it for me. Guess I’m wearing a hat to bed tonight.'

    It’s funny how the space a person leaves behind can sometimes feel just as substantial as the person themselves.

    In the three years since John died, Alex has been fine. Totally fine. Restless-leg-syndrome fine. Twitter-arguments-at-3am fine. But still, he texts John’s old number now and then. There’s a comfort in flinging words into a digital ravine, and no one but him ever sees the messages, so no harm done, right?

    Then John’s number gets reassigned, and suddenly there’s someone listening, and Alex might have to confront the fact that sometimes the digital ravine shouts back.

    (So it's a bit of angst, pretending to be a romcom, with a sprinkling of text-fic elements. Something for everyone)

    Summary

    Hamilton watches George Washington's inauguration thinking he'll see the beginning of a new nation. He's right—just not in the way he expected. Instead of watching Washington rally for the colonies' independence, he witnesses the start of the end of the world. The colonies' leaders are taken out in one fell swoop. Within a week, the English have abandoned them to protect their homeland. Months later find Hamilton alone, surviving for the sake of surviving. A chance encounter with two former politicians gives him the promise of surviving a little more successfully; a chance encounter with the infected gives him the chance to save the country.
