Here, have some HamilHeights headcanons:
-Eliza meets Nina and Benny because she runs a daycare their kid goes to
-Peggy works at the daycare too
-Alex meets Usnavi because Alex needs his fucking coffee
-Alex rants about many things to Usnavi, but Usnavi tolerates it because he’s a loyal customer and he’s funny
-Sonny joins Alex on these rants sometimes, so he gets an internship under Hamilton
-Vanessa wore a Hercules-designed dress and the Rev Crew freaked out
-Alex flirted with Vanessa and Usnavi gives him the glare to end all glares
-Usnavi doesn’t talk to Alex for a week after that
-Eliza is a good friend and cinnamon roll to Nina and Benny (and their kid)
-Their kid is named Lincoln – I’m not crying you’re crying
-Nina works at a law firm with Burr and complains about him to Eliza
-Eliza says, “Oh, my husband hates Burr too!”
-She invites them to dinner at the Ham House
- At the dinner, Benny says, “Oh, you’re the guy Usnavi hate – I mean talks about.”
-Alex and Usnavi eventually become friends when they learn they’re both immigrant orphans
- “You’re an orphan? Of course! I’m an orphan!”
-Laf’s just watching this from the salon because the only ones allowed to do their hair are Daniela and Carla (They’re also there for the gossip)
-Angie’s also at the salon, but she’s expressly there for the gossip
- “Oldest and the wittiest and the gossip”
- The salon ladies and the Schuyler sisters are such great amigas
-They’re like Girlpower times two
-Benny meets George Washington (Mayor of New York) because he drove him in his cab once
-During the drive they were both really uncomfortable because they were thinking, “Who the fuck is that and why does he look like me? Whyyyyyyy?” They’re both too polite to mention it, though
-When the gay marriage announcement comes out ‘yes’ (Usnavi had the TV turned on in the bodega, and a good chunk of the barrio was watching) Alex just starts happy crying and he waves someone’s bi flag
-Usnavi says, “I thought you were straight.”
-Alex says, “I…have..had a boyfriend.”
-Usnavi asks, “Oh, you did?”
-Alex breaks down and leaves the bodega, sad crying now
-Eliza tells Usnavi that Laurens died seven years ago
-Usnavi finds Alex and tells him that Abuela Claudia died about seven years ago, too.
-They just sit in silence for a while
- “Did you know you’re not so bad.”
-Friendship, so much friendship!
