Someone asked Maria Reynolds, long after it was all over, if she thought she was a bad wife. They probably meant in regards to her ex-husband, whom she never saw again. He still has nine years of his ten year sentence to serve, the asshole.

But Maria didn't think of him. She thought of a different woman, with bright eyes and a charming smile, with a sharp wit and a mind for planning. She thought of Eliza Hamilton-Schuyler, and said "yes."

"History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again."

Jefferson and Madison faced thirty-five years in jail, for obstructing justice and planning first degree murder. They are rarely visited, mostly by a Mr. Aaron Burr, who could have been like them, lifetimes ago.

Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

Our heroes still work in their precinct, IDing bodies and solving crimes. Now, they understand more about the world around them. Now, they don't flinch when they see their features stare up at them from the operating table.

They carry on, as best as they can. Their lives have changed, and only time will tell if for the better.

"We would like to live as we once lived, but history will not permit it."

The Hamilton-Schuyler-and-Others household is a flurry of motion in the mornings.

"Eliza, dear, have you seen my lesson plans?"

"ALEX! Where is your phone, it keeps buzzing and I can't find it!"

"Maria, watch the coffee!"

As always.

"Your lessons plans are on the counter, near the sink."

"My phone's in your purse, Eliza. The one on your shoulder!"

"How old is this coffee, exactly?"

"Hey, who's the one on the couch? They're asleep."

"If they're still sleeping, it's Laurens. He's the only one who can ignore this mess."

"Don't wake him up! I think he has a hangover."

"Ugh, too late."

"Eliza!"

"COMING!"

All is right.

A/N: And that brings me to the end of this story. It was a wild ride, from beginning to finish! This story is completed, and I'm pretty satisfied with the ending, so I'm probably not going to edit/add more bits and pieces to it. But hey, I'm definitely not done with this fandom! Writing this was a great experience, and I absolutely love the subject matter. There is definitely more Hamilton fanfiction in my future.
