To answer some guest reviews.

OwlLegendary000: Gah, you can make me so happy (in this case) and sad, like how you did in 'Unimaginable'.

Everyone's always a cinnamon roll in your stories. :3

Except for Jefferson in 'Turn This Spark Into A Flame', which is the story I'm kind of obsessing over right now.

Reply: Thank you so much! I'm really glad that you're enjoying this story and Turn This Spark Into A Flame. It really means a lot to me. I actually really like Jefferson in real life (even though he can be a jerk sometimes). But I needed a villian and Jefferson seemed to be a good choice as one. I'm planning on a multi chapter story about Jefferson in the future. Thanks for reviewing!

OwlLegendary000: I don't know what I am doing here because I have no clue was Les Miserables is, but I've noticed that you always bring up the fact that you don't believe you're good at writing romance. I can give you a couple of personal tips that I think enhance the romantic aspect a little bit and make it seem more like a professional romance story.

. Narrating over dialogue. Romantic moments are often the ones that don't have much dialogue to emphasize the feeling of the characters more than what they are saying. Lots of description in the narration for a tender moment is really good in romance. There can be some dialogue, but the dialogue must be deep and touching, almost like the character saying the dialogue would actually say that.

. What made 'That Would Be Enough" a great Hamilton song was that it was mostly Eliza singing. This is my favorite song in Hamilton because Eliza provides so much support to Hamilton, and uplifts him, even though he'd just left her for months. One character could provide a less self-confident character with incredibly meaningful support and uplifting words. Comfort and hurt is often a great opportunity for a little romance.

. Just avoid those angsty teen memes, girl. You got this.

Anyway, those are tips that I've learned from my own experience in writing. (You don't have to follow them though) Speaking of which, I'm currently writing a Hamilton one-shot that basically screams "Laurens/Eliza ship". I know a lot of people ship Laurens and Alexander, but that's pretty old to me and I don't see how they would work out. But for some reason, I think Laurens and Eliza would make a cute one-shot. The basic plot is that it's an AU where Laurens is still alive during Hamilton's affair, and Eliza turns to him for comfort (it's supposed to take place right after the song Burn). Sorry this comment is very lengthy, but I hope I've helped you at least a little bit.

Reply: Thank you so, so much for these pointers! When I first saw this review, I wasn't able to see most of it for some reason, so I just saw your tips. Thank you so much for giving me these pointers! They are so helpful! I would love to be able to read your one shot. It seems really cute. And I get how you don't ship Laurens and Hamilton. I don't really either. I love Hamliza too much. But Laurens and Eliza is also super cute. "That Would Be Enough" is also one of my favorite songs from Hamilton. I love it, probably because of that. Anyways, I'm responding to this review on this story because Balcony is just a one shot, so I couldn't reply on another chapter. Also, Les Miserables is also a musical (based on a book). But it's amazing. I personally love it.

Sorry that this author's note is so long. I just wanted to put the actual review in it, too, just in case.

I wrote this at about one in the morning. So again, I apologize for any typos. I was also listening to "Speechless" from the live action Aladdin while I wrote this chapter. I haven't seen the movie, yet, but I've been listening to the soundtrack and it's so good! I'm PASTED PAISENTLY WAITING to see it.

I don't own Hamilton.


Chapter Seven

The doctor came out of the room with a sigh. Eliza jumped up from the chair she was sitting on. Angelica had Gilbert on her lap otherwise she would have been shaking the doctor until he gave her the news. The doctor made his way over to the three of them. Too slow. Angelica was planning on ripping him into pieces if he didn't tell them fast enough.

"Is he…?" Eliza trailed off. To say the words would break her.

"I think he's gonna make it," said the doctor.

All the weight and stresses of the world fell off of Eliza's shoulder's. He was going to make it. Alexander was going to live. After all this waiting everything would be okay.

As soon as Eliza felt the relief, anger was also able to fight it's way into her. Alexander dueled Burr. Without telling her. He could of died, for all she knew. Leaving her with the children. Not to mention their unborn grandchild.

Everyone needed Alexander. No matter how stupid he could act. All of them needed him.


Annie didn't expect to see David at the door, of all people. She immediately flooded with joy. It had been weeks since she saw him. But now he was here. David's dark eyes flashed with concern. Annie embraced him before anything else. She held the boy close to her. After everything that had happened, it was nice to finally have David back in her arms.

"I heard about everything, Annie," he whispered in her ear, "I'm here for you."

"Oh, David." Annie sighed. The tears she had been trying to control started pouring down her cheeks.

"Shh. Shh. I'm here for you." David began stroking her hair.

"Kiss me, David. Please."

David made no hesitation to met that request. Their lips touched in one movement. David let his hands run through Annie's hair. Annie had her hands on her lover's back. They only had each other in that moment. Annie's heart pounded out of control in her ribcage. The two broke away.

They, at least, had together.


I wanted to do some brief fluff after all the suspense. So you're welcome. I've got a few moments between Annie and David prewritten. They're so much fun to write.

Thanks for reading! Please drop a review!
