Agent 355 by lcjocelyn

New York Colony, 1765-1783 When Patsy MacDonald married Will Whitcomb, the second son in a prominent, wealthy Manhattan family, she assumed that her future was secure, that she would be plagued by few-if any-question marks. She assumed that she would live out her years supporting her husband in his every decision, comporting herself in such a way that she would avoid bringing any scandal into their home, and busying herself with the task of bearing and raising his children. What Patsy could never have foreseen, however, was that she and Will had married on the eve of the American colonies' battle for independence from England. She could not have foreseen that her husband, who hailed from a Loyalist family, would join the Continental Congress and help pen the very Declaration of Independence that would be sent to King George III. She could not have foreseen that he would join the Continental Army under General George Washington. She could not have foreseen that he would die in battle, leaving her the widow of a traitor in the middle of a disastrous war. Knowing that if the rebels lose the War of Independence, her husband's lands and properties will be confiscated by the British government, and she and their children would be left with nothing, Patsy finds herself in the most unforeseen position of them all: Posing as a Loyalist, entrenched in a New York society composed of Loyalists and British officers. Hosting one such British officer in her own home, Patsy joins the war effort as a spy, gathering intelligence that will be sent on to General Washington. In doing so, she joins the secret Culper Ring as its most mysterious and controversial agent, a woman history knows only as Agent 355.

Tango by Full_Of_Shame

"Please - promise me that you're not lying because I swear to you, Thomas. If you break my heart-" Alexander and Thomas have been at war for way too long. What if they gave each other a chance? Call me Hamil-trash if you want, I'm jumping on the bandwagon. I don't actually ship these characters but something in me just needs to write this story and get it out of my head. Here's an AU between Hamilton and Jefferson that will become an Mpreg. If you don't like it, just don't read it.

Four x reader (Divergent) by glassesintherain

{BOOK ONE} There are five factions. Each had their own reasoning for thinking why the war had happened. Dauntless; cowardice and fear. They strive to be brave, fearless. Erudite; ignorance. They strive for intellect, to be smart and curious. Candor; deception. They strive to be honest. Amity; they blamed the war itself along with fighting. They strive to be kind, forgiving, peaceful. Abnegation; selfishness. So they strive to be selfless. Dauntless are our police. Erudite are our teachers. Candor is the law. Amity are the farmers. And Abnegation are our government. I would sit on the ground everyday, wearing my yellow dress with black sandals. Wasn't the best thing for me. Dresses made my shoulders to broad, especially the flowing ones. When I was home alone, or with my mother, I would wear I tight black shirt and white shorts. No one would really approve, mostly because they were Candor colours along with the fact it's not... welcoming enough. I never understood Amity, not because of the kindness and the peacefulness; well, mostly the peacefulness. Whenever it should come down to defending ourselves or walking away. We walked away. It confused me. Maybe I wasn't Amity enough to understand. Maybe I wasn't kind enough. Maybe, just maybe, I didn't belong here. So where do I belong? A/N : First chapter is a little sketchy but that is the case with all of my books. I promise it does get a lot better afterwards Start: Feb 06 2021 End: Dec 15 2021

Shattered Realities- Historical Hamilton by C4PSL0CK

The fifth of July has been a chaotic day for America. When Irene Laizaitė comes crashing through the White House from the sky, many people had questions- and Cassandra Carter's job is to find answers, no matter how bizarre they are. Jefferson was in his second year of retirement. The government was controlled by unfit and greedy bastards, but he promised to never get involved in politics again. He was meant to be happy, but everything seemed so meaningless and he knew not how to change that. Angie knew that Philip was up to no good when he snuck into Papa's office without his permission. She knew that she had to convince Philip to stop, before Mama found them and killed them both. George wasn't in bed yet. He was leaning on his bedroom door, listening to Mother and Lawrence argue. Of course, it was about him. Somehow, all of their stories suddenly collide and come crashing down with a certain white-eyed mathematician to blame. And the 21st century happens to be one terrifying place, especially when you're trying to hide from the government. What could possibly go wrong? --- The obligatory 'Hamilton comes to the future' fic, but I've got a somewhat of a plot figured out This is a FIRST DRAFT! This means that you'll have to deal with characterization and plot that's all over the place, so be warned. Book 2 of 2 in Historical Hamilton. You're welcome to knock yourself out with this one first, but I'd recommend you read the first book first- considering nothing will make sense without it.
