seduce me with obscure knowledge of history

*seductive voice* Alexander Hamilton wasn’t allowed to fast track trough Princeton because a student had done that the previous year, and had a nervous breakdown due to stress. That student was James Madison.

Anonymous asked: WILL WE BE SEEING ANY MORE OF THE ALL IN ONE SPOT AU

YES WE WILL, I ACTUALLY HAVE LIKE FOUR PROMPTS BUT UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE ZERO BANDWIDTH TO, LIKE, FUNCTION.

SENIOR YEAR, KIDDIES, DON’T DO THIS TO YOURSELVES.

BUT REST ASSURED, I DEARLY LOVE THE AIOS AU AND WILL BE WRITING ALL THE PROMPTS ONCE I’M NOT EXHAUSTING MYSELF WITH MY THESIS ALL THE TIME.

Seriously, though, I’m going to try to get at least one more installment out before I go back to school, and I WILL get to the rest of the prompts.

Anonymous asked: Your all in one spot au, will we be seeing Washington?

You’re goddamn motherfucking right we’ll be seeing Washington.  TBH I’ve basically been waiting to get an ask about Washington before I move on because I’ve been plotting the next scene FROM THE GET GO and really wanted to write it, so you get to jump the line ahead of everyone else. Without further ado: HERE COMES THE GENERAL.

Edit: I started writing this like…maybe over a month ago?  But then finals happened and other shit happened and I’ve been, A, too busy to write, and, B, desperately lacking in inspiration for this. So now we’re back with the AIOS thing.

It’s only the first day of proper classes and John’s already giving Alex that look of exasperated concern.  The how late were you up last night and have you considered a meal today look.  The General Washington doesn’t need that letter for a week and you look like a dead man walking look.  The coffee is not food and your hands are shaking look.

Alex is fine.  John is paranoid.  And they have class.

“A class we already know everything for!” John shouts as he sprints after Alex, two protein bars and a bottle of water in hand.  John is still unfairly tall, and he catches up with Alex in a heartbeat, snatching Alex’s two books away and shoving all three items into his hands instead.  “I didn’t even buy the books, and I know Laf didn’t either.  And you remember better than I do!”

Alex scowls, but eats the protein bars. They’re chocolate-flavored and it’s possible he got too absorbed in writing up his latest blog post to remember to eat dinner, so he generously decides to forgive John’s hovering.
