Yes, this is an update.

Yes, this is sooner than anyone expected.

And yes, this is also technically now a "REACTING TO THE MUSICAL" fic. Although y'all only get Eliza's thoughts on it...

Because I can.

Also, LES MIS IS ON NETFLIX AND I AM FREAKING OUT BECAUSE I LOVE THE SOUNDTRACK AND I READ THE BOOK JUST TO PREPARE BUT I CAN FINALLY WATCH THE MOVIE AND ANNE HATHAWAY!

And on an unrelated note THIS FIC HAS (THE OTHER) 51 FOLLOWS!? AND 44 FAVORITES!

H O W?

Anyway, on with the chapter.

Disclaimer: I don't own Hamilton. Or TURN: Washington's Spies.

Lizzy was peculiar.

She always had been.

But Margo had never imagined her favorite sister (shh, don't tell Angel) wouldn't have known about the most popular musical of their time.

"It's about you. YOU'RE the main character. It's about how you carried his legacy! On your back! For 50 years! Like an ox."

"I've always wanted to be compared to an ox." Lizzy smiled wryly.

"Wait, that's not what I meant." Margo felt like tearing her hair out.

"Alright, I'll give it a listen. But rapping? Hip-hop? C'mon, Margo."

"I know, I know. It's not how you imagined the legacy living on. But it's good!"

"I'll go get Angel then." Lizzy stood, brushing some lint off her light-washed jeans and blue blouse. "Should I get Alex and James too?"

"Uh, yeah! As a matter of fact, get everyone."

"What?!"

"It all went kinda wrong two days ago but it's the second-to-last day before we get a dump of work to do. Might as well get the gang and give it a listen." The youngest Sky sister whooped as she whipped her phone out and began searching for the musical soundtrack on YouTube.

(Margo was cheap, okay? And YouTube was easy to navigate.)

About 20 minutes later, Alex, James, Edward, Lizzy, Angel, Margo, John, Laf and Herc were gathered in Angel and Lizzy's dorm (which was pretty big). Mar had said she might drop in at one point and Daisy and Ronnie were working a shift at the coffee place.

"Hey." Lizzy nudged her former husband. "Uh, I'm sorry. SUPER sorry because I freaked out on you and I had no right to do that. I guess...seeing the biggest part of my past life triggered some feelings and I couldn't handle those and it was wrong of me to take it out on you. Uh, I'm not looking for, y'know, a boyfriend. At least, not right now. But I'd love to hang out with you as friends and get to know you as Alex instead of Alexander."

He stared at her in shock.

"Wow. Um, yeah, no, it's cool. That sounds great. And you were more justified than you think, Lizzy."

BUM-BADA-DA-DUM-BUM-BUM-BA-DA shook them out their conversation and James winced as the first line referred to his mother in a less than pleasant way.

There was a loud bout of cheering when Alexander's name was sang.

It quickly vanished as a woman who (Lizzy was informed) played her told of a sickness which took lives, a sickness that took the life of a woman who bore people sitting next from her.

No one missed the way half the people in the room's faces darkened at the mention of James Hamilton Sr., either.

And the end of the first song...

Actually...maybe it was good Ronnie and Mar weren't here.

Lizzy's mind was on overload for the next couple songs.

She noticed John, Laf and Herc actually diligently memorizing their parts and made a mental note to ask them why they hadn't earlier.

She noticed Alex mouthing every single word.

She noticed and nothing else until she heard her name being sung.

"ELIIIZA!"

"Dang." She whistled.
Phillipa Soo's voice would be replaying in her head for weeks.

"AND PEGGY!" Margo screamed in time with her counterpart.

"tHAT NOTE THO!" Herc screeched at the end and if he saw the look Angel gave him (for what must be the 1000th time- hey, Herc's parts weren't all PG), he didn't acknowledge it.

Lizzy blinked in surprise. She knew the actor who played Washington from a Disney film, though she couldn't remember which one.

But...wow.

That was her only thought about this entire soundtrack because it all slapped so hard.

She wasn't even going to MENTION You'll Be Back.

And then Helpless and Satisfied were on.

Another addition to growing addition of songs to memorize.

"What the *unintelligible*? Who even *incoherent*? This {muttering}, can't believe (mumble), absolutely did not love [could not make out]." Angel muttered as her actress professed her own love for Alexander.

"Creative liberties." James explained, chuckling as Angel went off on a tangent.

Lizzy fought to hide her own smile. Sure, she missed Angelica's cool head, ability to forgive and quiet thinking but Angel's hot head was always a sight to witness.

Margo was about to click on "Wait For It" when an out-of-breath girl burst into the room.

"IT'S YOU!" She cried. "GENERAL WARRINGTON WAS RIGHT!"

"Uh, what? Qui êtes vous?" Laf blinked as the girl reached over, grabbed him by the shoulders and shook him.

"Yeah, what French Fry said. Who are you?" Herc demanded.

"Alright, this is going to be a shock-"

"A bigger shock than bursting in here and screaming 'It's You!', huh?" Alex snorted.

"This will be a shock because I am also a Reincarnation of someone most of you knew. I mean, I'm a girl this time."

"What?" John sat forward.

"My name is Bridget Shorts and I used to be Benjamin Tallmadge."

Why yes, the characters from TURN will be in this!
