When she finally is cast in a musical she only dared to dream of, she meets Lin and suddenly her world is turned upside down. 
Does she have to decide between him and her career? And  if so, what will she choose? 

Would they even have a realistic chance, given everything life and the industry throw at them?

In the wings of faith by _ladyleigh

He wrote about revolution. She sang about stars. But neither expected to find their hearts entwined behind the velvet curtains of Broadway. After seven years of pouring his soul into the story of Alexander Hamilton, Lin-Manuel Miranda is ready to bring his vision to life. What he didn't expect was to find inspiration not in the pages of history-but in the eyes of a luminous young actress playing Natasha in a quirky diner production of The Great Comet. Her name is Phillipa Soo, and her voice moves like poetry. As Lin casts her as Eliza Schuyler, their connection deepens with every line, every glance, and every breath shared onstage. But in a world of scripts and spotlights, can unsaid feelings survive the silence between rehearsals? Or will the music fade before they ever take center stage in each other's hearts?

Heir Ascending by J_Doe1101

She's a force, a fire that destroys all. But so is he. The saying goes to fight fire with fire. But what happens when it's not a war that fire feeds from, but passion? With danger at every turn, Eden must accept her own power all while battling an attraction to someone whose secrets are perhaps darker than her own. In a world left in ruins, humanity clings to divisioned survival under the rule of the Visitors. But these invader's reign is threatened when a new breed of super-humans emerges, possessing abilities beyond the Visitors themselves. Eden Monportor, a sheltered teenager from the Government Division, is drafted in the annual Selection ceremony, after almost 100 years of search troops searching for artefacts that may destroy everything. Along with enigmatic Kim Wendlas, comedic Draxorous Pennytheter, and charismatic yet cruel Oliver Casterson, they got drafted, they must fight and now they must ascend. Love guides, Love destroys and Love lies. It doesn't help when you're looking for the paragon of deceit. Love cripples and love blinds, but love is also overwhelming power and unspeakable joy. How can something so pure hurt people so terribly? Well, in simple, teenagers have access to this love. And when fire and ice clash, so does the love that freezes and burns within them. The 7-month timer has started, and so has the beginning of this thrilling dystopian and fantasy-romance novel that will have you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.

Who Tells Our Story? by hcmiltcn_schuyler

Alexander Hamilton and Eliza Schuyler are the exact opposite of each other. Though they have their differences, their love prevails. Alexander Hamilton has been on his own for as long as he could remember. Even since he was a child, some of his earliest memories are those of being alone on the island he was born on, Nevis. His father left when he was a young child, and his mother fell ill and died when he was only the tender age of 12. Those experiences shaped Alexander into the man he is now; a hard working, loyal, strong, independent, dedicated, intelligent, man. His writing is what got him off the island, but it's his gang, The Sons Of Liberty (SOL) with his pals John, Laf, Hercules, and Washington that keep him going. Until he met Eliza.. Eliza Schuyler was born into wealth, and into a safe, loving, caring home. She's always surrounded by her family. Eliza is most commonly found alongside her sisters, Angelica, and Peggy. Though it seems as if Eliza has everything one could want, there is one thing she wants and doesn't have; love. She wants nothing more than to fall in love. Eliza is a hard working, caring, shy, talented, passionate, young lady with a heart of gold. It isn't until she falls for a certain bad boy that things start to change.. A modern day Hamliza fan fiction. Can Eliza separate the good from the bad? Can she change Alexander? Will Alexander change her? Are they too opposite to even work? *This story may contain sensitive or heavy subjects, and I will try to do my best to add trigger warnings*
