Hey, a new story! This was actually posted on ao3 first but then I thought why not post it here?

Finals were last week and I was very busy. So the natural thing was to get obsessed with once again, another fandom. This time, it's the Hamilton fandom!

Hamilton introduced me to a lot of things, including an obsession over real people and not fictional characters! Anyway, here's the story!

Disclaimer that I keep forgetting: I don't own Hamilton! I don't own the Founding Fathers! I'm not even American! I haven't seen the musical but I did listen to the soundtrack.

Prologue: Confusions of a Man Long Passed

It started a while ago. As though awakening after a strange dream, his memories flitted in his mind without forming a coherent narration. He followed a routine, something he must've done a hundred times before, and went to the institution, his mind still swirling with hazy thoughts, remembrance of something he could not quite get a hold of, something that could be important to his being. The surrealness tone on his life persisted for a year, then two, until one day, six years after his life was thrown into chaos, a bizarre clarity settled over his mind. The crisp memories came to him like an old friend and he was finally able to sort out what exactly happened to him. That day, he skipped school for the first time in years, and wrote and wrote and wrote, every single detail he could remember, on every notebook he could get his hands on. He wrote non-stop until a pile of more than a thousand sheets of paper lied in a mess around his chair and his foster parents could no longer ignore the calls from the school. Then, he leaned back in a daze, bright eyes scanning the documents around him, finally still for long enough to wonder how it was possible, and how…

Human bodies were all the same no matter how many centuries was in between them. His body, still that of a young man barely of age, could not resist the temptation of sleep. So, with a crash, he fell sideways onto the floor, his mind long gone in a dream of a time long past.

A flutter of paper rose up, disturbed by his fall. A name stood out among others. The name of this young man: Alexander Hamilton.
