Fandom: American Revolution RPF
Rating: Mature
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Alexander Hamilton/George Washington
Characters: Alexander Hamilton, George Washington
Summary:
All the awkwardness of seeking a volunteer for an attempt, which every soldier was convinced was as good as asking a man to cast away his life to no purpose, naturally recommended Colonel Hamilton's offer; in any case, Washington allow'd himself to be persuaded, and the operation was carried out an hour later, in a deserted and fallow field some half a mile from the encampment.
I wrote for longwhitecoats, whose prompt was awesome and wide-open, and I was all set to write a lovely Alexander Hamilton/John Laurens story, and then suddenly it all went Terribly Wrong and I ended up in the totally sacrilegious land of Washington/Hamilton (julad called it "cash slash" after I explained to her that they were on the $1 and $10 bills).
Heaps of thanks for beta to lim and Zooey and Cesperanza, and to julad, even if she did try to keep me from sending Washington and Hamilton to elfland on the grounds that she didn't want me to default. :P
This story owes giant debts to Ron Chernow's biography of Alexander Hamilton, which is awesome, and to Bobrick's Angel in the Whirlwind: The Triumph of the American Revolution, and also for general inspiration to Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell and Bordertown.
Also if you have not seen Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton rap (NOT KIDDING), you really want to watch this (REALLY REALLY):
also omg,
teneagles totally guessed! (Hit me with your prompt whenever you like, and I will make it longer since I did not get totally overwhelmed haha <3)
