Our strongest and most emotionally reserved shadow hunter by the name of Alec Lightwood has been secretly suffering for years at the hands of his depression. Luckily Alec had won this battle because of his love, Magnus Bane. But when Magnus loses the few immortal friends he holds dearest, by the hands of the Clave and more importantly his precious Alexander. And he says the worst thing imaginable to Alec. The oldest Lightwood child may not be able to not sink back into the black hole that brought him to the ledge once before.

Imagine living in 1776 and a large alien machine appears and changes your life forever. Which is what happens to John Laurens but he can't decide whether it was for the better or for the worse.

‼️Disclaimers at bottom‼️ It's modern day, and the rebels are trying to take back America from the English Republic. Alexander still struggles to be with John, and Washington still calls him fucking son. ❌NO smut❌ ❌MINIMUM death❌ ✔️YES swearing✔️ ✔️YES fluff✔️ ✔️YES violence✔️ ✔️YES shipping✔️ ✔️YES Lams✔️ ✔️YES references to original Hamilton✔️ ✔️YES references to other fandoms✔️ ✔️YES war✔️
