Permanent Hiatus

As a head’s up, this blog is going on permanent hiatus due to a confluence of events including my being busy, fandom politics, etc. I will approve submissions to the blog but will not be offering any original recs for the foreseeable.

Apologies for the long absence, y’all. There are a few asks I need to see to as well. But this was inevitably going to be recced, just from the pairing and the author (@stuffimgoingtohellfor), and man, it delivers. There are tangled emotions, the feelings of loyalty and devotion mixed with passion, and I love the real sense of affection between Lafayette and Washington, as well as Hamilton’s appearance to tell Lafayette to get himself together.

Whamilton Fic Recs

So, I’ve learned that the Whamilton corner of the Hamilton fandom is small but mighty. I’ve only been active in it for maybe a month now (been reading fic since last year) and have overall really enjoyed engaging with all of you. One thing I haven’t really done yet, though, is recommend a few things *I’ve* been reading. 

I’m going to try and tag some of you if I have your tumblr url but otherwise - just bear with me here. If I leave you off it’s 100% not a slight, it’s just because I’m an idiot. Honestly, going through the ao3 tags made me realize I still have SO MUCH to go through. OK here we go. In no particular order.

meta fic recs? like the characters or actual founding fathers meet lmm or see the play type deal

I’m going to answer this and another request for teleported to the future/time travel fics together, just because I think there’s some overlap:

- Outside the lines: http://archiveofourown.org/works/5511518 Meta fic. Really interesting play with narrative.

- Don’t be shocked when your hist’ry book mentions me: http://archiveofourown.org/series/378427 Transported to the future fic. Fusion with Sleepy Hollow. Lots of interesting side plots and OCs as well.

- Waited for it: https://archiveofourown.org/works/5154299  The historical figures go to see Hamilton.

- Notes Concerning Certain Performances of Hamilton: http://archiveofourown.org/works/5763028 Afterlife fic, metatextual fic. Great fic.

do you know any good au modern day college fics? it doesn't matter which ship

Sorry, this is the genre I’m probably least equipped to recommend. Here’s what I have: Interstate: http://archiveofourown.org/works/5257331, the ‘you like to captain a capsized ship’ series: http://archiveofourown.org/series/389158, and the Macaroni ‘verse: http://archiveofourown.org/series/370235. There was definitely a Hamilton/Laurens/Washington femslash fic as well that I’m blanking on that was super-hot. 

[hamilton-recs]

Sorry, this is a crazy time for Mod A right now, so I’ve gotten a few asks and will try to answer them ASAP.

The characterisation here is really well done and so organic, and the whole fic is emotive in all the right ways. Such a wonderful and thought-provoking read!

Do you have any HamiltonxAngst fic recs?

Hmmmm, I’m actually not sure that I can think of specific fics that focus on angst - there’s definitely a lot of Lams fic with a lot of feeeeeelings, but I’m a bit stuck on things that are specifically angsty. Here are a few recs that might fit the ($10) bill, though:

There are, I think, quite a few afterlife fics in this fandom?  Which makes sense, given the finale.  But this one - it’s thoughtful, with new thoughts I haven’t seen anywhere else.  It uses the few relevant lines from Alexander’s death monologue to build on, to worldbuild an afterlife!  It’s incredibly atmospheric… and full of well-characterized relationship interactions, gen/canon ones with quite a few people, and a sweet and understated Ham/Laurens relationship for a while in the afterlife.

[hamilton-recs]

John Laurens meets Martha Manning.  And the story is darker and uglier, more complicated and more hopeful, all at once, than you’d expect.  Not the easiest thing to read, but it sticks in my mind like a burr.  Warnings for non-consensual (though non-explicit) sex, internalized homophobia, slut-shaming.

[hamilton-recs]

You probably already know if you want to read ‘Hamilton’s ghost haunts Ted Cruz who is secretly the Zodiac Killer'… once you know that it’s well-written, which it really is!  Intentional crack, of course, with a tone that’s overall more 'horror’ than 'humor.’  Which is disturbingly fitting, actually.  There is also a sequel here http://archiveofourown.org/works/6178936.

Do you have any George/Hamilton fics you recommend? Sorry to bother, have lovely day!

OH MAN OKAY. I don’t know how new you are to the ship, so I’m just going to make a primer with all the stuff I really love:

By Providence, Impoverished by Poose – one of the two Regency AUs currently owning my ass

On the Construction and Tending of Greenhouses by iniquiticity – the other one, ARRANGED MARRIAGES, I die

Raise Our False Flag by triedunture – CANON-ERA FAKE RELATIONSHIP. I don’t need to say anything else really.

Everything in the General Dynamics verse, also by Poose – modern AU, absolute filth, I love it

Rental by peakgay – also part of the GD verse and also just absolute filth with some feelings sneaking in there near the end

powerlines in our bloodlines by agent_orange – this is technically part of my own verse, but it stands on its own, it’s so good

He Could Be by iniquiticity – also part of my own verse but better than anything I’ve written really

Pray We Are Not In Canada by triedunture – such delicious fake-identity canon-era porn, so so so good, honestly if you like tropey goodness done right this is your author

all of Treasury Collection by Poose – this rec post is just turning into a love letter to @pitcherplant but honestly what else am I supposed to do

four and one by peakgay – With bonus Burr! VERY GOOD!!!

And on the off-chance that you are super new and aren’t following me because you’ve read these:

Quid Pro Quo by rillrill (that me) – modern politics/sugar daddy AU, very long, probably quite overrated to be honest

the Revolutionary Whore series – Alexander Hamilton/everyone, but Ham/GW is probably the dominant pairing

OKAY THERE YOU GO. WELCOME TO WHAMILTON HELL.

A delightful little fic about Hamilton and Mulligan as (sexy) roommates. Very sweet.

Hamilton gets a malarial fever. Washington comforts him. A great look at (horrifying) period medicine, the Hamilton/Washington relationship, and some feverish snuggling. What more could someone want? @stuffimgoingtohellfor definitely needs to write a sequel about the post-fever bath.

[hamilton-recs]

Lafayette and Hamilton, Lafayette and Washington, just Lafayette - and fairies (not the nice kind), and were-creatures, and map magic, blood magic, and war.  It’s a little wild and strange, dark and mysterious, because this world is full of magic that no one quite understands or can control.  It’s like a fairytale - well, Lafayette, he wants to be that hero - and repeatedly comes back around to meet history.  Emotionally, maybe more about endurance than anything else, care that gives you only moments of respite….  Everything that Lafayette! + several different types of magic tropes! promises, it definitely delivers.

[hamilton-recs]

The one where Hamilton turns Washington down.  “For three years past, I have felt no friendship for [Washington] and have professed none…. when advances of this kind [have been made] to me on his part, they were rec[eived in a manner] that showed at least I had no inclination [to court them, and that] I wished to stand rather upon a footing of m[ilitary confidence than] of private attachment."  @without-a-license writes the slashy interpretation of this letter, with so many feelings from both sides.  Washington’s affection is sincere - and Hamilton objects in part precisely because of the ways this could help him advance - and both of them have so much pride.  I am just, gah, love this sort of emotion just as much as the reciprocated types.  (Also, great Hamilton/Laurens that is not the main point of the fic but that has a delicious bit of roughness and is reciprocated.)

[hamilton-recs]

Gay Trio aka Gay Threesome fic, at Valley Forge, by @gaymowgli with a wonderful sense of place and voice and time, keeping warm from the cold.  Hamilton and Lafayette and Laurens, all playing with each other (and a lovely cameo from George Washington and Martha, too)… and super hot threesome porn, in which Hamilton and Laurens both fuck Lafayette, and they all love it.  Overwhelming and affectionate but always grounded too.
