i made a post before (like a month ago) that im not linking bc im lazy and it's midnight its abt a hamburr au im making this quick
RESET!Au
this is a burr-centric story
this story relies a lot on undertale because uh, that fandom revived itself into my brain and i can't get rid of it
burr is essentially frisk. he doesn't really know that yet though. obviously, im not making him choose mercy, violence etc.
the only thing that will be undertale related is the reset button.
Burr shoots hamilton in the first round (?). And regrets it.
He finds a glowing light. a button with the word "RESET" on it.
If it was truly what burr thinks it is, he clicks it.
And we are back to when he meets hamilton for the first time. The thing is, burr doesn't manage to change hamilton's fate after 5 resets.
The thing though, like in the game, hamilton is aware of these resets, but plays along for his own sake. Burr isn't. At least he's not as aware until the duel. Hamilton persists even after three resets.
To find his buddies, Laurens, Lafayette and Hercules again
To meet his wife and the rest of the Schuyler sisters
To meet Washington
To meet Burr.
Again and again.
Every reset, he's sure Burr will finally maybe change his mind, maybe it would different. Even after getting shot three times he still trusts him to change it the next reset.
Burr goes through the five stages of grief (which are The Five Resets)
On the 6th reset, something happened.
It's the duel day, once again. Burr and Alexander are face to face one last time before going on about this reckless loophole. Burr feels empty. He stares at Alexanders glasses, where his reflection lies. It was silent for a moment.
"You don't need to keep doing this."
"What?"
Alexander turns around and waits for the duel to commence.
Burr is left there, perplexed.
