INTRO: FORGET-ME-NOT AU (F-M-N AU)
July 4th, 1826, circa 12:50 pm
Though Madison did not know it yet, his best friend has passed—and it would be for the worst.
He found out the news a few days after Thomas actually died. He was devastated. He didn't believe it at first. He couldn't. He wouldn't. But he eventually did have to stop denying it.
Jefferson had left Madison specific instructions. "Take care of me when dead," he wrote to him. That was one of the last letters he ever got from the man. One specific was to take the University of Virginia under his wing, as it was Jefferson's comfort that it would be under his eyes.
His health declined. He didn't realize how much Jefferson helped him until he was gone. The simple reminders to take care of himself—illness and normal health—were gone. And he couldn't bring himself to do half of it. He knew Jefferson would give him a disappointed look, but Jefferson wasn't here to do that.
His sickness progressed, but, as always, he couldn't seem to die. No matter what. He almost wished it would take him already.

From now on, mod speaks in orange!
I am Divine, Drizzle, or Ambrosia, however you'd like to call me. She/they. @divinedrizzle-ambrosia
This account is partially an ARG and partially AU-based.
The title of the au is based off the "forget-me-not" flowers! They're pretty, and they represent remembrance.
Any interaction is welcome! In character, out of character, anons, anyone! James is utterly grief-stricken now, and the timeline is around August now, 1826. However, if you are a Jefferson, please keep your interaction to a minimum with this blog. Sorry, but it would mess with my storyline :(
Madison has to write to reply. What, you think a founding father from 1826 will have tumblr?
Tag meanings:
