Some demon AU thoughts (formulated with contributions from @grumblebee-trilogy and @iniquiticity): Alexander Hamilton gets hot under the collar. Literally. When he’s angry, if you touch him, you get burned. George has come out on the wrong side of this, which makes Alex madder because no one hurts his human, not even said human.

Benjamin Tallmadge is preternaturally quiet on his feet. Also, he travels between dimensions, so he just kind of appears behind George when he wants to see or have sex with him. George has nearly had several major coronary events as a result. Lafayette is the most powerful of the three by far. He can hide his demonic traits/aura even from angels or those with angel blood. Thomas Jefferson descends from angels, and Lafayette befriends him to keep him from causing too much mayhem in Washington’s government. It’s part of why Jefferson and Hamilton hate each other so damn much. Jefferson tries to get George to forsake Hamilton, which George would never do, but Alex assumes he would. Much angst results. Sex pollen is a thing. Sometimes the boys come back coated in it after visiting the Hell realm and George is very affected. It doesn’t work on demons so they don’t really notice until George’s reaction. Also, Lafayette may have kind of demon heat thing that he has to work out with Alex or Ben. George is too human and would get badly hurt. Sometimes, the boys imagine how attractive and powerful a demon Washington would be (large wings, strong jaws, etc.) if he weren’t human and George gets a little insecure about it. Finally, Demon Harem Dynamics are really interesting and involve a bit of play fighting after they come to like and even love each other. Before that, there’s a lot of wariness and distrust.

the harem demons. do they sometimes seem strange out of the corner of george's eyes? their shadows occasionally wander away and return with odd claws or humps? too much of a flicker of red in an eye? too casually sharpening a bayonet? when they speak after they've drunk too much their voices are strange and reverberating and in your core?

George tries so, so hard not to notice these things. At first, he’s still reeling from what he did (he summoned beasts from Hell to help him with this war, but God, what choice did he have? without assistance, they were going to lose), and he has to focus on the tasks at hand. It’s easier, most of the time, to think of these talented young men as just that... skillful soldiers and allies and no more.

But George is observant and spends a good deal of time with each one of them. Hamilton writes faster than humanly possible, noticeably so when they are alone and it won’t draw uneasy glances. When he gets fired up, he also speaks with a strange resonance that most men would find intimidating (George finds it intoxicating, and eventually stops repressing that too).

When Tallmadge comes to appraise George of how the spy ring is functioning and what intelligence has been gathered, his shadow does indeed act strangely in the firelight. It moves independently of him, almost playfully. George knows Ben doesn’t let that happen outside of his tent. It’s almost as if he has to stretch after holding himself stiff and still so long.

Lafayette is the most subtle of the three, a strange thing considering the boy’s enthusiasm. Perhaps it comes from having to move among French society. Or choosing to, rather... George doesn’t think these creatures HAVE to do anything. He doesn’t even think he compelled them with his summons; he thinks they chose him. Why, he sometimes wonders to himself. (Someday, they will tell him how beautiful he was, how shining and powerful for a human, how they couldn’t resist).

But even Lafayette has his oddities. Sometimes he seems to glide rather than walk, an act that is enthusiastic but strangely graceless and normally a result of seeing George after a separation. And when he comes back from interrogating a prisoner, his nails look sharper, and yes, there is red glinting at the edges of his normally blue eyes.

Once George truly falls and becomes intimate with all of them, the strangeness intensifies. Even as they are more human in his bed in manners of affection, their true forms come out more as well. Their flesh burns hot as fever, well beyond the flush of sex. They pin him sometimes with unnatural strength, and break free of the rope he tied them down with (they apologize for ruining the game when this happens, but George overwhelms them, they can’t help it). The sounds they make in pleasure are not of this Earth.George’s demon lovers are just that. Demonic. Eventually, it stops worrying him. He even comes to take pleasure in the fact they share themselves with him.

Demon AU 66. “Everything I’ve done is for you, you’re the only thing in the world that matters to me.”

George could feel anger rising within him as he read the letter aloud, and for once he had no desire or compelling reason to suppress it. Once he finished sharing the damning content, he slammed it down on his desk, across from which Alexander, Benjamin, and Lafayette stood.“Would you care to explain this to me, Gentlemen?” he asked, his tone dangerously low. “And do not for one moment feign innocence, I do not have the patience.”They stood there, unrepentant. The silence was heavy. “Well, go on then!” George shouted. “Tell me what compelled you to slaughter this man- and I know absolutely it was you three. The details are stomach turning, a witness spoke of smelling sulfur, and you were all absent that night. Do not even attempt to lie.”“He was spreading rumors about you, writing pamphlets that sullied your good name,” Lafayette said. “They were gaining an audience. It could not be permitted to continue,” Benjamin added.Hamilton crossed his arms, defensively. “We did it to protect you.”George turned his back on them. His hands were shaking. “This must not happen again. If you feel someone is a... threat and they are not actively attempting to kill me, I must be consulted before any action is taken.”He swallowed, spoke in a whisper. “Do you not value life at all, even enough to abstain from such horrors in my name? After all that you have done for the cause of liberty?”“Everything we’ve done is for you, you’re the only thing in the world that matters to us,” Hamilton said. There were murmurs of agreement from Lafayette and Benjamin. “Haven’t you realized that by now?”

My thing right now. Demonic tendencies running through the boys and GWash. Oooh I imagined Lafayette being used as a punishment giver. He would gut whomever Washington asked him. His eyes would transform and he'd transform. A monster. An amazingly hot monster. (I'm feeling a little on the dizzy side myself)

So, I went to bed before this came last night and woke up at like 3 am to see it, then passed out again.

But I’ve been thinking about it this morning, @dragondrawer01, and I am intrigued.

First, I tried to consider George as demonic as well as his twinks, but it wasn’t clicking for me. Instead, what made more sense to me was George as a summoner.

And not a habitual or trained one, either. A desperate one.

This can work in Canon era or modern era, but I’m thinking Canon because, well, Washington was in a pretty difficult spot.

One night, pushed to the brink, he goes alone into the woods and summons them. Well, he summons aid from a place he knows he should not, and they come.At first, they do not look human. They are amalgamations of light and fire and things Washington sees with his eyes but cannot process in his mind. Slowly, though, they take human shape. They introduce themselves with human names he knows they have stolen or fabricated.Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Tallmadge, and Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette. They will aid him in different ways. Hamilton is a brilliant writer, a capable aid to assist him with everything that comes up day-to-day, Tallmadge will serve as a spy (”Humans are easy enough to manipulate, especially in a form like this.”), and Lafayette…. well, that is a little more varied. Lafayette will provide coin, and he is in fact a Marquis, apparently (Washington doesn’t consider this too deeply, lest he begin to wonder what percentage of rulers and nobility are not human), so he can work to gain America a French alliance.He can serve other purposes, too, if need be, and he does. To Washington’s shame, when British are captured, he sends Lafayette in for intelligence. He does not ask what Lafayette does. Sometimes, the prisoner is left dead, other times, dazed and with no memory of what occurred. Lafayette always extracts valuable intelligence.As time goes by, these utilitarian functions transform into something else. He and Hamilton argue from the beginning, but it eventually fades into something closer to banter and almost fond (at least, most of the time). Tallmadge’s blue eyes and strange softness are undeniably appealing, all the more so when paired with razor sharp instincts and good results from his spying. And Lafayette, demon though he may be, adores and admires Washington in a way no other person ever has.And it’s inevitable that he eventually comes to kiss and stroke and please all of them. Their eyes sparkle in a way that betrays their origins; they return his affections and ardor. When is a monster not a monster? Oh, when you love it. He loves them, all three. And they love him too.

Sorry if you've already mentioned this, but do the demon harem ever try to sweet talk George into reigning with them in hell?

The demon harem was just formulated today, so I’ve mentioned very little, feel free to ask things. It’ll help me think of more stuff and flesh it out!I don’t think our boys are high up in Hell’s ranks. I don’t even strictly speaking think Hell has ranks. It’s chaos down there, and demons spend a lot of their time on Earth or preparing themselves to interfere in Earthly affairs.And what more of an Earthly affair to interfere in than a budding and unlikely revolution? I feel like being responsible for America is almost like being the snake that got Eve to eat the apple. That said, the question that this made me think about was if George’s soul was stained by summoning them (and later loving them), and the answer is of course yes. But do you think Lafayette is going to let George suffer in fire with the other humans? Or Hamilton or Ben? Please. They would tear Hell down first.Maybe they do.

[wellreadfan]

Oh my god. The demon harem is the best thing I've ever heard of. Oh my god!!!! I'm GIDDY right now. I LOVE IT SO MUCH

Thanks! I love it too. Washington always has his hands fall with his twinks, but a harem of demons is a whole other challenge.Also, I got an anon ask earlier about how Washington comes to realize and admit his affection for and attraction to his harem. I am thinking deeply about that and trying to figure it out. I will be answering it in the near future, worry not!If anyone has any thoughts about how the harem got together (or other demonic harem headcanons), do share them! I love hearing and incorporating ideas.

[wellreadfan]

How does Washington finally realise and admit his tempting affections towards the demonic harem? It seems like he would be like a moth drawn to a flame, despite how hesitant and wary he is.

Washington’s relationship with each of them developsdifferently until the point where they all intersect and enter into theirharem-esque arrangement. He is attracted to them from the beginning, but it isonly when he gets to know them more that things fall into place with a kind ofinevitability (or Washington thinks of it that way, anyway, perhaps to not looktoo closely at how he freely chose to get in bed with monsters). More under thecut because this got pretty long:

Lafayette is the first that Washington begins to grow closeto generally and in a romantic sense. At first, he kept them all at arm’slength. He is very aware that they are demons, regardless of their appealing(and young looking) human forms.

But Lafayette is irrepressible. Firm embraces, bises ingreeting, intimate conversations over wine.  When the day comes (and it is not so verylong) that Lafayette climbs into Washington’s lap, bold as you please,Washington responds by wrapping his arms around Lafayette’s waist and pullinghim in for a deep kiss.

Hamilton and Washington’s relationship is lessstraightforward. His demon aide-de-camp is disagreeable and bristles at evengeneral affection George offers. Still, Hamilton is brilliant and beautifuland, when Washington is at his lowest, he is the one to offer the mostclear-eyed advice and encouragement.

I think Hamilton probably catches Washington and Lafayettetogether and storms off after swearing at Washington about playing favoritesand denying him while giving Lafayette all of himself. Washington is confusedand torn. He did not realize Hamilton was attracted to him, but even so, hecannot betray Lafayette in such a way. Lafayette reads all of this in Washington’s face (and perhaps more… Laf is themost powerful, he may be able to catch certain thoughts) and encourages him togo after Hamilton, which Washington does. He eventually catches up to him deepin the forest. Hamilton turns to yell at him more (his eyes suspiciously wet)and Washington strides over and kisses him. It’s more aggressive than what hedoes with Lafayette, but that makes sense, considering.

Now we come to Ben. Ben is away spying when Washington succumbsto Lafayette and Hamilton. He kisses and touches them separately, though, atthis point; only one boy in Washington’s bed at a time. That changes when Benreturns to where they’ve set up camp. He senses that something has changed between Washington and the other two.Washington, though he is almost disgusted with himself at the greed of it,wants Ben too. Ben is so very pretty, with his blonde hair and big blue eyesand perfect body. He spends an evening with all three of them and growsincreasingly flirtatious with Ben as the night progresses. Eventually, Ben batsthose big blue eyes and asks if perhaps they should all relocate to somewheremore comfortable. That’s the first night Washington has all of them (it is thebest night of his life) and after that they only grow closer and to desire and loveeach other more.

[wellreadfan]

what if that they all came to see washington wasn't connected. like they didn't know each other beforehand, but they were all drawn to washington for all his washingtonness and when they showed up and someone else was there, they were like "you know, i COULD let that demon handle it. or ... i could also handle it with that guy." (but of course they can't let this mortal know. so they all pretend to be friends and then fill each other in on their demon lives secretly.)

That was what I was thinking! Lafayette, Hamilton, and Ben (calling him Tallmadge feels weird and I’m unsure why) are all from different social spheres and have different degrees of power. They are all called by Washington.I’m imagining before they manifest in front of Washington there’s a sort of standoff where they size each other up. Hamilton is ready to fight to get Washington, he knows this human is going to do great things and he wants to participate in this war, but he is aware he’d come out of it hurt or injured (possibly really fucked up, considering there are two other demons, both of which do not seem easy to scare away).Ben is entranced by Washington’s soul. He wants to get close, to tempt, to ultimately be the one to bring him down (spiritually speaking). He’d come a long way to find him. Ben has a long history of dabbling in espionage with and for the humans he’s decided to deal with. He wants to try at spying for these upstart colonies. And Lafayette. Lafayette is very picky about where he meddles, what humans he tempts. He really only ever deals with ones that attract him, soul and body. Washington has attracted him, and he’s ready to throw his full power behind him and his cause.They all arrive on the scene at once. The tension is thick. Ben is the one to suggest it: can’t they share him? Hamilton and Lafayette bristle; flames spark in the air. Ben tries again. He is the least powerful here, he won’t win, it’ll take negotiation for him to get Washington. They could compete for his allegiance?

The trio agrees to that. They almost don’t even need to discuss the fact they won’t be telling Washington this is their first meeting; better he see them as allies, no human wants warring demons even if they want infernal aid. Later on, Ben’s first idea ends up coming to pass because George can’t choose between them. By then they have grown fond of each other and are all creeping toward the realization they don’t want to give their human’s soul to the flames.
