Ok guys, I'm not going to lie, this story has been pretty hard for me to write. When I came up with the idea I didn't take into account that two plots would need to happen at once, nor that once I had two plots it would be hard to have Ham and Burr interact since Burr is the only one who can hear him. I might get back to it some day or I might not I don't know but I don't want to leave you hanging so if you want to avoid spoilers stop reading but honestly it'll be awhile before I'll get back to this.
Story:
Andre is the leader of the group Aaron stays with. He's happy there for a good long while until Theo dies in child birth. The baby turns out to be like Aaron in not having the weird backwards thing. To history geeks this isn't a surprise but Andre is bad. Turns out those people who had Burr at the beginning? Yeah he's one of them, and he's going to use Theo Jr. to try and find a cure but theres no humane way to do it really. Burr offers himself instead. The book is nearing it's end and it's very sad, Ham doesn't want to loose Burr and Burr doesn't want to be left alone with a bad end. Despite this he tries suggesting maybe reading the book over would help? But none of the words change and Ham keeps the book for years hoping a line of text will change. One day it finally does, turns out it was activated by blood the first time. They avoid all the unpleasentness and it's just fluff until theres a fire. Ham goes in to save the book, and neither survive.
