A/N: Hello! This was gonna be a one-shot Supernatural/Hamilton thing but. So basically Leslie Odom Jr was a crossroads demon in supernatural (When I found out a pterodactyl screamed) and I was listening (and crying) to It's Quiet Uptown and when he talked about he'd trade his life for Philip's. So what if Aaron Burr was actually a crossroads demon willing to make a trade. Also in this AU Eliza hadn't forgiven him.
Alexander Hamilton was depressed. Eliza hadn't forgiven him. His son was dead. He'd ruined his presidential campaign. He decided to talk to his first friend, a man who would listen and provide clear insight on the situation. He knocked on Aaron's Burr door. The man answered and invited Alex in.
"Alright, what is it?"
"It didn't work. She told me to get lost!"
"What are you going to do?"
"I don't know! I wish I could take his place. Everyone would be so much happier!" The rejected man burst into tears.
"You don't mean that." But Alex could see Burr's slight smirk.
"Yes I do!"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes! Anyway, what does it matter? It's hardly possible."
"Well, there might a way." Burr blushed.
"Wha- What do you mean?" Burr edged closer to Hamilton, licking his lips. Hamilton tensed, what the hell was his friend suggesting? For one second Hamilton was certain Burr's eyes had flickered red. But of course that was ludicrous. It must just be the light.
"You could replace him… I mean, if that's what you really want…" Alexander laughed nervously.
"Burr! Stop messing! What should I do?" He said everything slightly too loud, slightly too fake.
"Alexander… Do you want to know a secret?"
"Umm, sure?" What was Burr playing at? It certainly wasn't funny. His friend stood up and locked the door. Hamilton had a sudden uncomfortable feeling. "I should go…" He began to stand up when Aaron shoved him back down. He started to grin as he closed his eyes. "What the…" When his eyes opened they were an unnatural shade of red. "Burr?" Alex stood up and raced to door. He tugged on the handles but they wouldn't open. He plastered himself against the wall.
"Finally in the room where it happens, huh?" Burr grinned. He moved towards Hamilton, who backed away.
"What are you, Burr?"
"A dealmaker."
"What. Are. You. Burr?" Hamilton repeated, trying to sound calm as his voice cracked.
"Okay, okay, I'm a crossroads demon."
"A demon!"
"It's more common than you'd think."
"Is anyone else?"
"Ah, well that would be telling. And I don't want to ruin the big surprise. But I suppose I can tell you this, a lot of the people you know aren't, um, normal. Nearly everyone actually! Pretty cool, huh?"
"WHAT? WHO?"
"I can tell you some. Maria Reynolds? Demon. Mulligan and Lafayette? Hunters. That's a human who hunts monsters and demons, like me. Did you not think there was a reason they hate me? And John Laurens. An angel."
"My John? An angel? Of course, who else would be so pure."
"Yeah. Along with his loyal and ridiculously stupid brother, Castiel, Laurens was one of the only known gay angels."
"Gay? What?"
"Dude, he had a massive crush on you! Were you always this stupid?" Hamilton's face was bright red.
"Well, were you always a demon?"
"Touché. Anyway, do you want to make a deal or not."
"Tell me the terms and conditions."
"Your son is brought back to life in the full. I own your soul. This means you live but when you die you either go to hell or become a demon."
"That sounds fair…" Alexander scanned the words trying to find any possible loopholes.
"Shall we make it official?"
"Not yet… My son has a full life? No side effects?"
"He will remember the afterlife the first few hours but after that other than that he should be fine."
"But I will never see my friends or Eliza or anyone ever again?"
"Not unless they end up in hell somehow."
"Okay… So is there a contract or something?"
"Crossroad deals are sealed with a kiss, I'm afraid." Both men looked to the floor and blushed.
"Okay, so we're doing this." Both men said at once. The leaned in and shared an awkward kiss. Then Burr led Hamilton to the door and gestured for him to leave. As soon as the door closed Hamilton turned and saw his son.
"Pop!"
"Philip!" They shared a long and emotional hug.
"Pops! I was dead! I went to heaven and I saw Grandma! I saw Washington and Peggy and a bunch of your soldiers. They all took good care of me. They knew I was your son. But I couldn't see John Laurens… I don't know why…" Alexander nearly cried. But he had to stay strong for his son.
"Son. Shh. Let's get you home."
Aaron Burr looked out from his window and smirked. It was going to be fun tearing this family apart.
Meanwhile Eliza sat in the living room, weeping softly. She knew she shouldn't give in but remembering how empathic he was and how helpless she felt around him, she was on the brink of forgiving him. She made the decision to talk to him tomorrow, see things from his point of view. Then she might forgive him. She smiled to herself, pleased with her choice.
Knock, knock, knock.
Eliza opened the door in her nightgown. She screamed in horror when she saw her son. Her dead son. Being held in her husband's hands. Philip woke at the scream and turned to his mother. Alexander let him go and he ran to his mother, giving her a tight hug. Eliza was in tears.
"Alexander! I know this is a dream! Wake me up!"
"Eliza, my dearest, this is not a dream. Let me put Philip to bed and then we need to talk."
After putting their previously dead son to bed the couple sat in the living room to talk things out.
"How is our son alive."
"You won't believe this but I managed to find a demon and make a deal with him."
"You're right, I don't believe you but I'm willing to hear you out."
"I traded my soul for-"
"WHAT?"
"I traded my- "
"Alexander! How could you?!" Eliza was in tears, everything had turned perfect, but at a cost.
"What? I don't really mind and it's not like anyone else cares."
"ALEXANDER!"
"Eliza, I'm sorry. I thought you wouldn't care."
"Oh my god! Of course I'd care!"
"I'm sorry! At least Philip lives!"
"Oh Alex. You need to do it."
"What?"
"You know what. Find the demon and call the deal off." Alex felt really sheepish.
"I can't."
"WHAT?"
"No refunds."
"ALEXANDER! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?"
"Think of it this way. Eliza, help me spend the last of my life in happiness. Please?" She sighed.
"Okay. But you are a very stupid man." Alex smiled.
"Tell me something I don't know."
