Ok but imagine after everyone dies Hamilton comes to lead them into the afterlife

With Burr he brings the two Theodosias and maybe a lil forgiveness and closure

When Eliza dies he comes for her with Philip, Angelica and Peggy (imagine a slower, bittersweet reprise of the Schuyler sisters)

For Lafayette and Mulligan he brings Laurens and they head off singing The Story of Tonight

He personally dropkicks Jefferson into hell

I love so many things about this ‪#‎NoBillNoBreak‬ sit-in, but the thing I love the most is John Lewis’ facial expression. He has Resting Protest Face. He doesn’t give a shit about your guns, or your parliamentary procedures, or your C-SPAN cameras. He’s heard you want to put him on Periscope but he’s not sure he gives a shit about that either. He’s like “Did you see Selma? You remember the John Lewis character? That was me. John ‘I asked for and received an apology from the Klan’ Lewis.” He is the human personification of the expression “You tried it.” He most definitely doesn’t give a shit about Paul Ryan. When asked for comment about how Paul Ryan compared to political foes he’s encountered in the past, Lewis thought for a second and replied “He doesn’t have the range.” John “Freedom Rider” Lewis has an honorary doctorate in sitting. Don’t come for him unless he sends for you.

R. Eric Thomas – I love so many things about this #NoBillNoBreak…

My favorite: “He is the human personification of the expression ‘You tried it.’”

At John’s wedding Sholto asks about his therapist and John is like GREAT VERY HELPFUL GLOWING REVIEWS, John is obviously trying to convince Sholto to seek some kind of professional mental health treatment

So after John’s wedding Sholto finally does, because he almost let someone murder him at John Watson’s wedding

And after months and months of one-on-one Sholto finally joins a veteran’s support group, and that’s where he meets him, a man with quiet eyes and a prosthetic leg who insists on calling him Major out of respect

And they get to know each other and Sholto trusts him because he knows what it was like out there, and he doesn’t judge him for the bad days or the good days for that matter

And eventually Sholto works up the courage to invite him to dinner at his secluded country home and he comes and when he laughs his eyes crinkle and when it starts to get late and the fire starts to die Quiet Eyes admits that half the struggle of serving was not being able to serve openly, having to hide himself and the boyfriend back home who eventually left him because they had to keep it secret, and Sholto takes his hand and admits that there could’ve been something there, something with a captain he served with on base, but the captain was married now

And Quiet Eyes says sometimes the struggle isn’t having to lie about who you are in Afghanistan, sometimes the struggle is having to lie about who you are at home, and Sholto thinks about Sherlock Holmes and sitting there on his sofa in front of the fire he finally lets John go and leans over and kisses Quiet Eyes and doesn’t think about John while he does it at all

They both move awkwardly; a miss-match of limbs progressing, insect-like, down the hall to the meeting room; the step-step-click-step of feet and the brush and swing of three arms only. 

The man with one leg holds the door for him, Sholto placing a palm on the glass above his head to hold it open while he regains his balance and moves inside. They sit next to one another by silent agreement even though at this stage they’ve exchanged nothing more than a nod. 

They introduce themselves one at a time around the hub of the councillor, and they talk. Sholto doesn’t say much, though he listens, and that’s nearly as good. The man with one leg speaks only briefly, and only to offer support. He’s been here a while, Sholto thinks. Maybe he’s run out of things to say. 

Afterwards, balancing coffee cups on narrow surfaces around the room, the man says, “You’re a major, aren’t you?”

Sholto, who has only introduced himself as ‘James’, feels uncomfortable. “Technically,” he admits. 

“Then you are,” the man says simply, in a way that brooks no argument. It irks Sholto. 

“I don’t use it anymore.”

“May I?” 

Sholto touches his coffee to his lips and frowns; is this part of the group therapy? Owning your past and your identity or some such, or perhaps this is something the other man has been told to work on. He has no answers to the situation and in the end he doesn’t refuse. 

“Major,” the other man says before he leaves, offering him a hand. A heartbeat later, Sholto grasps it loosely. The man’s quiet sadness feels tangible between their palms and he regrets his earlier recalcitrance. 

“Next week,” he says. The man with one leg nods. 

“I’ll look forward to it.”
