Let's talk.
I love history and I want to share my love for history with you.
History is amazing and can be so interesting if you know where to look. Historical figures are normally a bunch of dumbass kids trying their best.
I'm a History Major, so if you want me to write about something or clarify a question you've got- hmu.

They became enemies ever since the first encounter but Thomas can't deny how he really feels. Encounter after encounter, they learn more than they would like until everything comes lose.

•~Political Paradise~• (Thomas Jefferson x Reader)
You were George Washington's daughter, and when Thomas Jefferson came back home in 1789, you were beyond excited. You heard about all of the good things he had done for the nation, and were waiting for him when he arrived. But you couldn't seem to find him. So you started walking around, and the one and only bumped into you. Then that cliche "love at first sight" thing began. For you, at least. You were going all heart-eyes-emoji over this guy. 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. It also doesn't help that he's constantly busy. Will you and Thomas tie the knot and have a good life together despite several issues?Complete
Becoming a Founding "Father"- Historical Hamilton
Time traveling to the 1760s is as fun as you would've thought it to be. Too bad that I didn't think about it, and now I'm stuck in a foreign time with some orphan child from the Caribbean and no knowledge on how anything works. ---- The fifth of July. Such an average day, compared to the Fourth of July. To her, neither of those dates were supposed to matter, being European and all that. But when she is plunged into a different time, and is made to fight for a country that's not hers, she's wouldn't be surprised if that date will be engraved in her grave. And it is, which is strange, considering she's not dead. She's just... lost. ---- This is historically accurate-ish. I swear I'll fix the mistakes one day, but NOT TODAY BABYY In other words, I didn't find any historical Hamilton time travel fanfiction, so I wrote some myself. (FIRST DRAFT) CONTENT WARNING: This story contains some racist, sexist and homophobic language that reflects the historical time period when it's set.

Mr Jefferson is Coming Home (Jamilton)
1789: Thomas Jefferson returns from France and meets Alexander Hamilton for the first time. It's hatred at first sight, but it will eventually change into something none of them would ever have imagined. Set in the 18th century, the two political enemies will have to overcome their own fears and to hide their love, while trying to build their new nation. (Jamilton / past Lams) ***And then it happened. Jefferson looked away from Burr for just a second and fixed his eyes on Alexander's. Alex's heart stopped and he felt his blood running cold into his veins - what should he do? Should he nonchalantly walk out of that damned alley, or run away, or what? He was trying to think fast, but in the end he just stayed there, frozen on his spot by Jefferson's smug stare. For what it seemed to be a lifetime, Thomas's brown eyes held his gaze, tying Alexander's blue, wide eyes to his, reading his very soul like an open book. Then, he winked and turned to Burr again, acting as if nothing had happened. Alex abruptly retreated into the deep shadows of the alley, breathing hard and sweating as if he'd just had an epiphany. Five seconds. Just five insignificant seconds and his world had been turned upside down.*** Cover picture credits to --> hello.im.jade on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hello.im.jade/Complete
Eliza, Alexander, and the Great Commotion of Jefferson's Rude Invasion
"Jefferson grinned smugly. 'George Washington, John Adams, Angelica Schuyler. And most importantly: James Madison. Those names mean anything to you?" Alex laughed. 'Half of them are my friends. ' 'Well I think you'll find that'll be changing soon.'" Alexander Hamilton's school life is almost perfect. He is idolized by the prettiest girls in class, he has a good group of friends, gets the best grades in class, and he wins almost every fight. There are only a few minor annoyances, such as Madison, an old rival; Adams, who took the position he deserved; and Aaron Burr, who is infuriatingly calm and collected. But over all. . .? His life is great. But what happens when a kid shows up who is determined to undermine everything Hamilton has done? Thomas Jefferson's comin' home folks. And it won't be pretty. Dedicated to Rain. I own nothing but the story. The rights to Hamilton do not belong to me.Complete
Corset in Congress (A Hamilton Genderbend)
A Hamilton AU where everything is the same except Alexander is a woman and she marries Elijah Schuyler. For the most part it is told from Aaron Burr's perspective, but that might change for certain chapters. I made this simply out of curiosity, and because I watched too many animatics, plus I thought it would be interesting to see how the story would play out with a female protagonist. The character interactions, lyrics, and overall plot could be impacted in many ways, and I'd like to see how that goes. I'm basically converting lyrics into text, tweaking them based on the needs of the context. Feel free to comment on anything you like, any little mistakes that need fixing. Seriously, go wild.Complete![Do I Really Hate Him? (Lafayette x Reader) [DISCONTINUED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/177591004-256-k253301.jpg)
Do I Really Hate Him? (Lafayette x Reader) [DISCONTINUED]
"You've gotta move out soon, Lafayette. You're so annoying to have to put up with." "Oh, I'M annoying? Heh. Your dad must not have told you. You're nothing less than a burden, (Y/N)." "I hate you, Lafayette." "I hate you more, (Y/N). Trust me." *** After America won the war, Lafayette realized he had nowhere to go. With the little amount of money in his pockets, he couldn't sail to France and buy a house there. Or anywhere. He hated his parents for making him live on his own after the war was over. Lafayette began to turn to close friends and asked them if he could live with them until be had enough money to buy a house of his own. They all refused. Finally, as a last resort, he turned to his ex-commander, George Washington, and his daughter (if you're a dude, you can change this), (Y/N). The Washingtons and Marquis de Lafayettes were close, so Lafayette knew Washington would say yes. Well, most of the Washingtons and Marquis de Lafayettes were close. Lafayette and (Y/N), however, weren't. Ever since they met (which was when they were, like, six, on a vacation to France the Washingtons were on), they seemed to be fighting all the time. They couldn't stand each other. Both of them began to dread the frequent visits of the two families. So you can imagine (Y/N)'s devastation when her dad agreed to let Lafayette stay for as long as he needed. What would happen? I mean, with two enemies in one house, anything could happen.Complete![Learn to take your time! (Y/N X Lafayette) - [Hamilton Fanfiction]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/306581588-256-k148456.jpg)
Learn to take your time! (Y/N X Lafayette) - [Hamilton Fanfiction]
I put on the uniform and damn, I looked good. I found an easy band-aid and wrapped it over my chest, which made it smaller. My hair was in a tight bun, I pulled the collar a bit higher and exhaled. I'm going to a freaking war now. The shoes didn't fit right, but I'll find some in Washington's room. ~ - 'Time' is a short word with a big meaning. It may be impossible in this reality but there are more than one and somewhere in this big ass universe.. well, there is a chance. So you should take it! - A Y/N story without Y/N. Anyway, if you don't like it don't read it.Complete![He saved me // Jake Webber ✓ [Completed]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/202452744-256-k819395.jpg)
