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:

#lore entry - LORREEE BASSEDDDD

#entry - not lore based

#(character) correspondence - interactions with an in character person

#anon correspondence - interactions with an anonymous account

More to come!

Frequent flyers:

BOUNDARIES:

-NO shipping unless I EXPLICITLY allow it. This is a grieving man with past jeffmads implied.

-NO NSFW unless it is minor/only implied. Mod is a minor irl.

-NO harassing people unless you are doing it explicitly in character. We're here to have fun.

-keep Jefferson account interactions to a minimum. Please.

HEY GUUYYYSSSS

I won't be very active for awhile as I'm going to Washington DC tomorrow at like 5am

I'll still respond as much as possible!

[ask-jemmy]

How much has changed? Do you think you'll ever get used to it?

1:DIARIE

To the address of 'anonymous',

No, I do not think I'll get used to it. I'll eventually adapt, but I think I'll always feel as if something is missing.

[ask-jemmy]

what sustains you now that hes gone?

To the address of 'anonymous',

Work, mostly. Politics don't stop for grieving.

James Madison

[ask-jemmy]

Good evening, good sir

I was made aware of situation regarding mister Jefferson. I hope that pain of loss is not unbearable. And please accept my deepest condolences, i know he was dear to you. In any case, I recommend you to not forget to take a break. Your life is yet not over. (Vy pz pa?)

Sincerely, Viktor VII

1:DIARIE

To the address of 'Viktor VII',

I sincerely thank you from your condolences. A break is not necessary and not quite possible, for politics will not run itself. Dof dvbsk tf spml il vcly?

best regards,

James Madison

[ask-jemmy]

fine sir, I have come from afar as a friend to inquire about your condition. I have heard of the losses you've experienced, and I have wished you nothing but the best for your grievances. Regardless of so, how are you dealing with? Has your sickness gotten better, and as a simple friend, have you eaten your meals for the day, kind sir?

To the address of 'marketablekai',

I am alright, thank you. My sickness is as punishing as always, but I am managing.

James Madison

[ask-jemmy]

“ Good morning, sir.

Or, whatever time it may be for you. Mail has a habit of being ironically late. Have your medications been working well? I do hope so. There's still a reputation you must hold.

Take care, and apologies for the short message, I know that I am not doing this paper justice.

Until we write again,

— L.A.W ”

(yes, l.a.w is the shortform of an actual name. its an oc lmao)

1:DIARIE

To the address of L.A.W,

Thank you for writing. My medications have been working fine as always, which is mediocrity. Your short message is fin and appreciated, offers less of a headache to deal with. Mail happens to always be late indeed.

James Madison

Madison has no fucking clue who Lee is, don't expect recognition from him

“ are you okay? Are you truly? It’s quite common for a person grieving a loved one to suppress the feeling. I’m just trying to make sure you’re getting along fine. It’s not like he’s coming back, right? ”

To the address of "Charles Lee",

I promise, I'm quite alright. Grieving a bit, yes, but I'll live on. And, I'm not sure how to reply to that last line. I don't think that was a necessary addition. I don't see how it is possible for someone to come back from the dead.

“ oh, but it was! It’s incredibly necessary! I don’t know how it works here, but it is very plausible to come back from the dead! If he does I will warn you: he may not be as great as you try to make him out to be!

Best regards with your journey :) ”

It is not physically possible for a person to come back from the dead. I do not understand what you mean by 'how it works here', I do not know anywhere in the world where it would work differently.

Grief:

Grief is the intense emotional, physical, and mental pain resulting from a significant loss, most commonly the death of a loved one, but also divorce, job loss, or life changes. It is a natural, individualized process involving sadness, anger, confusion, and numbness.
