Summary: the Paris Opera Ballet school has decided to do a new project - a musical - Hamilton! But wait, there's more! Knowing Frank so well (as he's always there now) Miss Caréy and Armando let him audition too. What ensues is... interesting.

A/N: this is set after season 3, as in no time travel drama, just fun, CHILL, dancing times. Sort of.

Warning: quite a bit suggestive, mentions of getting hard, but no smut. And of course swearing.

The Paris Opera Ballet school had decided to do something interesting and new, and I couldn't be happier!

They had decided to do a musical! And which musical, you ask? That's the best part!

For days, everyone had been waiting in suspense, and finally, they gave it away. Hamilton!

I love Hamilton, with a passion.

The most surprising part was, one day, they asked if Frank wanted to audition.

After the Bureau had been taken down, Frank spent the time he wasn't working, with us. Armando and Gabriél had already seen Frank around a few times, but he'd been properly introduced not long after Lena had taken over at the Bureau.

Frank was also a big fan of Hamilton, and was there when the musical was revealed. Upon seeing Frank's excitement and admitted jealousy, they offered him a chance to audition - there would be dancing, but the ballet was mostly left to the backing dancers, or chorus, so it wasn't such a risk.

At first he was unsure, but it didn't take him long to agree.

At auditions, you didn't audition for a particular role, you only mentioned which role or roles you'd be interested in playing (if you even had an idea, that is), and then you got what you were given.

Frank had no clue what he wanted, only that he wanted to be there; he never expected a big role.

He did however, get one. Turns out, Frank can sing, and well too. No one expected him to get George Washington!

The roles were actually really fitting though: Frank getting George Washington went well, he's a very 'take-initiative' kind of guy; Ines got Angelica which fit her well, as she's smart, has dreams, and always knows what's best for her; Lena got Eliza as she's sweet, and fair.

Nico had Lawrence and Philip, who are clever and passionate; Jeff got Lafayette and Jefferson, because, well, do I need to explain? I will anyway, he's fun, energetic, and not afraid to speak his mind (cabinet battles, 'you are the worst Burr' etc. You get it, right). Everyone kept calling him Jeff-erson.

Thea got Peggy and Maria Reynolds - she wasn't happy getting such a small role, but loved playing it regardless; Isaac got Hamilton, which is funny as he would've been more fitting as Burr, as he has ambitions but keeps his plans close to his chest; and I had Burr which is funny because I would've been more fitting as Hamilton, as I'm opinionated and not afraid to speak my mind most of the time. Maybe they did that on purpose.

According the Armando and Miss Caréy, the resemblance between the cast and characters was complete coincidence, but everyone also knew, that if they did it on purpose they wouldn't admit it.

The whole gang was at a rehearsal, and they'd just come back from having a break.

"Where's Thea and Isaac?" Armando yelled. Everyone looked around, nobody wanted to see Armando get mad, but Isaac and Thea weren't around. Armando sighed, clearly frustrated. "Fine! We'll do another song, and if they're not back by then, we'll practice it with someone else doing their roles."

Jeff ended up doing 'What Did I Miss?' which was amazing as you can guess. On the downside, Thea and Isaac still weren't back.

"Alright! Good job Jeff. No Thea and Isaac?" He had a quick glance around, and continued when he didn't see them, "Alright then, let's see how they like it when someone performs their roles! Frank, y/n, you're filling in, we're doing 'Say No To This'."
