Also, the new fandom that ate my brain

[metaphortunate]

As you know, I have no problem with poly in real life, or even in my Serious Reading; but the part of my brain that is dignity-free and only wants to eat candy corn until it explodes, or the fiction equivalent, does not like any jealousy issues even in potentia in its Diabetes Delight. I don't like poly, threesomes, and definitely not cheating in my fic. I honestly even have a terrible problem with OTPs, and I don't want to read about those characters with other people.

Except, it turns out, with Hamilton. Perhaps because Alexander is the canon bicycle? Dunno, but fanon's got everyone lined up to have a whack at him and I am here for it.

Every single pairing is canon. Every one! I am going to eat the Yuletide stories up like popcorn this year.

Right??

I'm trying to remember who wrote that Alex and J. Laur "moved undercover and moved as one, if you're picking up what I'm putting down."

Beautiful.

aha, thank you!

Yeah, I feel the same way! I think it's because a) it's all canon! It's all historical canon! b) Specifically, in canon, there really is a happy shiny threesome without jealousy (if only emotionally), wheeee!

Relevant to the above, the only person I really don't ship him with (in the candy-corn kind of way; would certainly be up for serious fic here) is Maria Reynolds, because ugh, Alexander! (Also Maria doesn't really get a personality in the musical, which I don't really blame Miranda for because the thing is already like three hours long, but that also gets in the way.) (...okay, now I do kind of want all the fic about Maria Reynolds. Just not candy corn fic.)

She's like the perfect illustration of "you can never get enough of what you don't really need."
