A marriage with the esteemed Duke of Kent appears to be her path forward, until an enigmatic figure, Mr. Magician, captivates her heart. Not only does he possess an irresistible charm, but he stands as the sole gentleman in all of London who dares to resist her allure. Meanwhile, the Marquess St. Arcey, perceiving Eliza as the embodiment of a femme fatale, cannot bear the thought of her belonging to another. His ardent pursuit of her heart and hand further complicates matters. To exacerbate the predicament, the fate of Eliza's family fortune hangs precariously in the balance. The crucial documents that substantiate their ancestral estates and noble title are hidden within a chest, found by the royal historian.

The historian's demise summons the long-standing rivals of the Price family - the Grays - who descend upon London with their agenda.

His presence in Eliza's life becomes an omen of unfortunate events, marked by searing insults unleashed each time their paths cross. Will Eliza navigate this maelstrom of emotions and choices to find her ultimate happiness? And who shall claim the chest concealing the Price family's fortunes?

To your delight/horror, Thomas had moved into the mansion next door to yours. You also ran into Alexander Hamilton and became good buddies with him. But you always found yourself in a situation where you had to side with one of them, and you couldn't choose. Thomas also got a bit jealous when you and Alex hung out.

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.

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.

Just using them as inspiration for the story and how the characters look like. The collages are made by me. Created this story from pure imagination based on a part of a dream. (which the scene that was inspired by it will happen near the end depends how I feel about the story.) Names my sound similar to the actual people they are inspired by and some are just combinations of what I came up with. ~Warning~ I might change characters appearance to make them seem older as story may go along. (It will rarely happen maybe one or two characters will change who knows)
