Alex: i know it's two in the morning but i just stalked all of your facebook profiles and you are all beautiful ok good night

Peggy: while i will always appreciate affection, validation, and boosts to my self-esteem, fuck you, you fucking woke me up

Alex: don't normal people put their phones on silent when they go to bed

Peggy: the fuck is that supposed to mean

Aaron: can we not do this at 2 in the morning please

Alex: i wasn't planning on this

Aaron: good night, alexander

Peggy: hey sorry for being super mean last night i am a horrible person when you wake me up before i'm ready

Alex: no i feel bad because i literally don't sleep and i need human contact

Peggy: that was like the first thing you said lol i just wasnt expecting it so soon

Alex: we cool?

Peggy: we cool <3

Alex: <3

Thomas: so you just decided to casually go through all of our entire facebook pages at two in the morning

Alex: no i'd been doing it for several hours already

John: the more i talk to you the more scared i get of you but i'm also intrigued af ngl

Alex: i appreciate that

Eliza: why though

Alex: i'm gonna be living with you guys for a year i need to know what i'm getting myself into

Hercules: are we really that bad

Alex: NO

Alex: did i not say you all were beautiful at 2am

Alex: you only speak the truth from 2-6 am

Thomas: why am i getting the sneaking suspicion you've done this before

Alex: like i said sleep is not high on my list of priorities

Maria: alex i dare you to compliment every single person here go 

Alex: easy

Alex: can my first compliment be the same for two people

Maria: i guess?

Maria: why?

Alex: because both eliza and john are actually the two most beautiful people on the entire goddamn planet

Eliza: oh my goodness *^-^*

Alex: like how did you get faces like that

Alex: i just want to stare at them all the time

Alex: and possibly make out with them

Alex: actually yes i definitely want to

Alex: plz

Alex: i don't like it either?????

Eliza: same

Eliza: but the sentiment is still appreciated my face is also very red

Lafayette: what is rt

John: retweet

Lafayette: quoi

John: it basically means i agree with alex

Aaron: how do you explain what a retweet actually is

Lafayette: you got yourself into this mess

Lafayette: that is how you Americans say it, yes?

Lafayette: also it was in jest we do not have intercourse with food items

Angelica: why are you an english major that was phrased so eloquently

Lafayette: *^-^*

Maria: anyway alex only complimented two people so far keep going

Alex: ok

Alex: well laf it kinda looks like you do your makeup and like????? how??????????

Alex: eyeliner always on fleek

Alex: lipstick so clean

Alex: i want you to teach me your ways but i also don't wear makeup

Peggy: like i said i will take any and all forms of validation

Peggy: <3

Alex: maria

Alex: i hope this makes sense

Alex: but like remember when the bad blood music video came out and everyone wanted taylor to step on them with her heels?

Alex: yeah i understand what they mean now

Maria: O_O

Alex: (i'm basically trying to say i'd hypothetically sleep with you and trying to be as not rapey as possible)

Maria: thank you ;)

Maria: why only hypothetically

Alex: because i haven't actually met you yet and i'm not a one night stand kinda guy

Maria: so hypothetically would you buy me bagels the morning after?

Alex: if you wanted, of course

Maria: :D <3

Eliza: why am i getting jealous?

Aaron: because he said you and john were the most physically attractive but not necessarily that he'd sleep with you

Alex: wtf i'd sleep with eliza

Alex: i'd sleep with john

Alex: fuck i'd sleep with all of you

Alex: did i not say you were all beautiful at T W O A M

Hercules: yes but who would you /marry/

Alex: either eliza or john

Thomas: which ONE?

Peggy: BOTH

Peggy: POLYAMORY

Angelica: pegs you do realize this is our sister you're talking about

Peggy: i stand by what i said

Alex: anyway where was i

Maria: you said you'd fuck me and buy me bagels

Maria: which tbh is a better compliment than just wanting to fuck me

Maria: #feminism

Eliza: PREACH

Alex: ok who's left

James: i don't think you did me yet

Hercules: me either

Aaron: same

Sam: me as well

George: am i even included in this?

Alex: OBVIOUSLY

Alex: ok

Alex: herc you got some MUSCLES boy you look like you can crush my entire body with your pinkie toe and i'm scared but i like it

Alex: james you post so much about how you're sick like how are you sick all the time i want to put you in a bubble so you never get sick ever again

Alex: sam you also have a cute face and your opinions seem to differ with mine on a lot of things so i'd like to debate you one day you look like you'd be fun to debate with

Alex: meanwhile aaron i cannot figure out your opinions on anything????? politics???? music????? coke vs pepsi????? absolutely nothing and it stresses me out and i want to go into your brain and know what you're thinking and how you feel about everything and everything about you

Aaron: that's slightly creepy but i'll take it

Alex: and i want george to be my dad ok i think that's it

George: O_O

Eliza: ....

John: why?

Alex: he just looks like such a dad?????? very warm and approachable and loving and kind and supportive and easy to talk to about anything and i just

Alex: i have issues

Alex: my dad walked out when i was 10

Hercules: oh shit sorry man

Lafayette: actually, i'm not sorry :)

Alex: >.<

Chapter Text

Lafayette: mes amis they will not stop talking about your election even in france i am annoyed but i am also terrified for you and the future of your country

John: lolololololol

John: we r so fukd

Angelica: laf, depending on the results, can we move in with you

Lafayette: i will be in america for school come november

Lafayette: but i shall ask my parents

Hercules: LAFAYETTE COMIN THRU

Eliza: <3 <3

Lafayette: i'm not even sure i fully understand everything and i am still scared

Aaron: basically there were a lot of people campaigning for two spots and most of them were weird and dumb and said a lot of offensive things but some of them weren't so bad. one of them was a really old jewish guy who a lot of college kids liked but a woman was more popular. her husband was president back in the 90s. and then this businessman trump got the other spot which surprised everyone. the jewish guy bernie publicly supported the female clinton and everyone was like whoa. she had some issues with emails getting leaked but trump also had problems because he's really rich but not as rich as he says he is and is racist and sexist and wants to kick an entire religion out of america and has """"""big hands"""""" because that matters. clinton and trump just picked their vice president nominations or vp for short and the vp's sole job as far as we know is if the president dies they become preisdent. clinton picked this guy tim kaine who seems like a pretty good match for her policies and trump picked this guy mike pence who seems like a pretty good match for his policies. their logo looks like buttsex. also there was another scandal that bernie and clinton's side, all those people on their side kind of sabotaged bernie's campaign

Aaron: a lot of people either love clinton, love trump, or hate both so it's a very touchy subject to bring up so if shit starts happening in this chat you're being warned now

Aaron: all of this is way more complicated than that but that's the basics of it

Aaron: it's a pretty historic election because we've had the same president for 8 years and it was the first black president and a lot of people loved him but a lot of people hated him

Aaron: depending on who wins we could have either the first female president or the first president with no prior political experience

Peggy: vote now on your phones

Lafayette: mon dieu. bien chance.

Alex: merci

Angelica: peggy's just bitter because she won't be 18 by november and can't vote

Peggy: #AnyoneButTrump #PleaseGodSomeoneStopHimBeforeThisCountryIsRuined

Hercules: do i dare ask who y'all are voting for

Eliza: clinton

Angelica: clinton

Maria: clinton

Peggy: if i could, clinton

John: i was originally Bernie or Bust, but trump will do too much damage to this country and voting for a third party candidate, to me, seems like a waste of my vote, so i'm planning on voting for clinton

Alex: rt

Hercules: rt

George: rt

Thomas: i'm conservative as hell, but that man is a disgrace to the republican party. as a black man i can't vote for him. Clinton.

James: rt

Aaron: i'll probably decide in the booth. i want to see their debates first.

Sam: trump, most likely

Peggy: .......................................

Hercules: o.0 0.O O.o

John: ay dios mio 

Eliza: why

Sam: plenty of reasons! first of all, he's not afraid to be honest. he is blunt and says what most of us are too afraid to say because it's not "politically correct". ISIS is a real threat and we should be concerned for the safety of our country! and speaking of honesty, look at everything that has been happening to the democratic party. hillary's emails? her constantly changing opinions? the DNC essentially sabotaging bernie's campaign??? no, that makes me skeptical.

Sam: and people say trump is unqualified? pfft! he's accomplished so much! everyone has heard of the trump towers! he is a remarkable businessman and knows how to make deals with just about everyone. and his family! wouldn't it be lovely to see that melania as a first lady? and ivanka as his first daughter?

Hercules: yeah, his daughter who he's said he'd fuck

Sam: but of course, the issues are the most important thing, and that's where lots of people get it wrong. he IS pro-women! yes, he's poked at Megyn Kelly and Carly Fiorina, but it's the same way he treats men! that shows that he treats them as equals. and for the minority vote, he has had open support from blacks and Latinos! that proves he isn't racist.

Sam: essentially, trump's logo says it all. he's going to put america on the right track, bringing us back to our roots and the principles on which this great nation started. he's going to Make America Great Again.

Alex: okay no

Alex: no no no no N O

Aaron: alex, please, i know what you're about to do, spare the kid, you've barely just met him, not even

Alex: i can't NOT do it bURR

Alex: sam, you're wrong. simple as that. you're wrong

Alex: but let me explain to you as to WHY you are wrong

Sam: i

Alex: yes, i also look for honesty in a politician, especially a presidential candidate, and the fact that DC has become this beacon of corruption disturbs me to my core. but HONEST? trump is the furthest thing from honest. the amount of times this man has flipped his position on nearly every single issue out there has made my head spin so much i feel like i'm watching a tennis match. if that's the case, there's no way you can believe a single word that comes out of his mouth. you might say the same about hillary, with her email scandal and how she didn't support gay marriage until 2013, when it was "politically convenient". in her defense, many other secretaries of state, including dick cheney, had personal email servers like her. there is and never has been a law against using similar public email servers. fbi director comey testified that there were NO classified emails. and in regards to marriage equality, i understand the opposite side, but there's no way we can know how or why she changed her mind. it could have been political strategy, yes, but it also could have been pure coincidence, or because of the fact that the LGBT movement was really ramping up beginning around that time. at least she is an open supporter of it now, and isn't that progressive in and of itself? it may be common sense but with the homophobia still present across the country, every person who is a public ally is important, especially those in positions of power.

Alex: yes, isis is a threat to the safety of every citizen not just in america, but across the globe. yes, isis's mission is based in the muslim doctrine and completes most of their missions in the name of their muslim god and their holy scriptures. it's very easy to make a comparison between them and other terrorist organizations and dictators of the past. but does that mean every muslim on the planet is secretly working for isis? ABSOLUTELY NOT. not every strong believer of christianity is secretly working for the KKK, which, by the way, is also a TERRORIST ORGANIZATION based in WHITE SUPREMACY. so the absolute opposite of the solution is to group them all together and kick them out of the country. where have we seen that before? who else in history with this much power has done similar terrible things to minority groups?

Alex: the answer, my dear samuel, to the isis crisis is to stand with muslim citizens and support them and listen to them and validate their struggles. isis' goal seems to be getting muslims to join their ranks and making them believe they are superior. if more muslims are shunned in america and by whites around the world, isis wins. we have to stand together to conquer this terrorism.

John: i'm fucking CRYING alex is pulling out the RECEIPTS

Hercules: tag yourself im isis crisis

Lafayette: im the tennis match

Maria: im "bURR"

Alex: the sabotage of bernie's campaign is a terrible thing, and yes it's incredibly corrupt, but that falls on the shoulders of debbie wasserman schultz, not hillary. that would make me skeptical too, but i'm more concerned about the fact that the republicans in congress refuse to hear obama's nominee for a new supreme court justice because it's election season, even though obama still has 6 months left in office and nothing is getting done because of the split between the parties of the executive and legislative branches and the court having an even number of justices and being split so often. and yeah, okay, trump is a "successful businessman" because he's rich, even though he's not as rich as he claims he is and has filed for bankruptcy 4 times. and news flash, this is a country and a government, not a business. governments don't work like businesses. just because you have business experience doesn't mean you know anything about government nor does it mean you are in any way qualified to hold any kind of office. and sure, melania and ivanka are pretty to look at, but trump can't be anti-LGBT and say things about upholding the "sanctity of marriage" (not sure if that's his defense but it's a common one) when melania is his third wife. and she blatantly used a MASSIVE chunk of michelle obama's DNC address, obviously plagiarized, and republicans were praising her and applauding her when they most likely criticized michelle 8 years ago when she said the exact same thing. and herc is right, the fact that trump even JOKINGLY mentioned about sleeping with his daughter is absolutely disgusting on every single level

Hercules: ;-*

Alex: and the fact that you would even THINK trump sees women as equal to men is laughable. his comment on ivanka is proof enough alone. but he has said he believes women should be punished for getting an abortion, especially when he was originally pro-choice. LITERALLY EVERYTHING with megyn kelly at the debate and his blatant disregard of even trying to understand menstruation. the fact that almost every single time a woman has called him out on his bullshit, his response has been to call them a fat pig, ugly, a bimbo, and several others of the like. just because trump is mean to both genders, that in no way proves his feminism. it's a non-sequitur. trump has no feminism. and he's just plain MEAN. i personally don't want someone who not only dignifies schoolyard taunts with a response, but that response is belittling and name-calling, i don't want that guy in charge of the military and the nuclear codes. and as for minorities, he's paid people to act as supporters and used stock photos of black families. any racial minority with a brain knows that trump is an open racist and any policy he makes will be to benefit the white, cis, straight, rich, christian man, and that man only.

Alex: essentially, america has its problems, but it's still the greatest country in the world. this time in history, in american history, is the most advanced, most progressive, most accepting society has ever been. taking america back would be taking it to a time where women could not vote, where women and religious and racial minorities were seen as lesser than the white man, seen as subhuman. where the LGBT community didn't even exist because it was so widely disapproved of. where prices may have been lower, but so were salaries. by putting the country in reverse, trump will most likely do more harm than good. the dictionary definition of progress is forward movement. progress cannot happen when you go backwards.

Sam: your comment about race is discriminatory. you're saying that minority groups who support trump are stupid.

Alex: first of all, i am from the caribbean. you are white. you are the only white person in an entire freshman hall full of racial minorities. i don't think you have any authority to say what is discriminatory against racial minorities.

Angelica: F=FUCK

Peggy: drag his ass

Alex: secondly, yes, trump acknowledges minorities, but they are always deliberately separate from the "we" who wants to make america "great" again. you can also look at pure statistics, trump's policies simply don't line up with what african americans say they want in a president. i know i'm just saying african americans, but i'm sure they don't line up with many racial minorities either. and you can look this up yourself, trump has made so many racially charged comments long before his campaign began. "the blacks"? "the hispanics"? doesn't fly, sorry. if you are a minority who supports trump, you either choose to disregard these comments or are not aware he feels this way. if you support trump, you are not necessarily a racist, but you have no problem with rampant racism. 

Alex: hillary is not a perfect person, nor a perfect candidate, but her policies line up with mine as well as the direction this country is heading. we cannot let that monster of a man into a position with that much power.

Alex: don't get into a debate with a political science and american studies student

Alex: check yourself before you wreck yourself

Alex: *mic drop*

Hercules: *standing ovation*

Angelica: that was the most beautiful thing i have ever read in my entire life holy SHIT

John: BITCH FUCK IT UP

Eliza: YES ALEX

Maria: D E S T R O Y E D

Thomas: Y'ALL

Lafayette: MON AMI C'EST MAGNIFIQUE

Peggy: someone put a beat over that i wanna rap it

James: how'd he type that all so fast though

Aaron: have you considered joining debate when you get here? that was very well-written and thought out

Alex: im joining so many clubs aw man just you wait

George: Aaron is right, that was articulated and researched very well, but Alexander, I have to say, I am somewhat disappointed in you.

Alex: huh

George: This chat has been active for barely even a few weeks, and you have not even met Samuel in person, yet you go on this long, attacking tirade, judging his character simply because of who he plans to vote for? Unacceptable.

Alex: Sir, in my defense, there were no personal attacks on Sam's character.

James: "i don't think you have any authority to say what is discriminatory against racial minorities."

James: "if you support trump, you are not necessarily a racist, but you have no problem with rampant racism."

James: "check yourself before you wreck yourself"

Alex: the first one is simply an observation and a sentiment that i'm sure many POCs agree with

Thomas: that's true

Angelica: white folks gotta learn their place man

Alex: the second one shouldn't even be considered an attack, i was not calling him a racist, i adamantly said that he was not necessarily one just because he supported trump. it's simply common sense that if you elect a known racist into a position of power, you don't see anything wrong with their beliefs.

Alex: and as for the last one, he knew my field of study from the beginning, he knew what he was getting himself into when he started this

Eliza: *finger snaps*

Lafayette: and to be fair, sir, i was the one who brought up your election in the first place

George: Alexander, I see your points and justify them. Lafayette, I don't want you to think this is your fault because it isn't. And I don't want anyone else to try and put the blame on themselves either, because there is no blame to be placed. But for the sake of our sanity, can we all refrain from election and political discussions at least until the semester starts?

Sam: sounds reasonable

George: Thank you

John: but sir, you have to admit, alex dragged sam's ass around the world and to the moon and back. right?

George: ...........

George: you bet he did

Alex: *wink kiss emoji* *peace hand emoji*

Chapter Text

Peggy: hey guys so uhh remember how i said i wasn't sure about my gender in the beginning yeah i'm still not sure but i kinda wanna try using they/them pronouns if that's okay?

Maria: !!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Maria: of course!!!! why are you asking us it's your gender

John: yeah seriously peggy did you really think we would be anything less than supportive of your gender

Peggy: <3

Aaron: it's your gender, you don't have to ask us for permission

Aaron: but i'm sorry in advance if i make mistakes

Peggy: that's okay aaron <3

Alex: PEGGY IS GREAT I LOVE THEM AND I FULLY ACCEPT THEIR GENDER

Peggy: :D <3

Hercules: what aaron and alex said

Lafayette: my dear of course we will use new pronouns for you!!!! if you have any questions, please ask

Peggy: <3 <3 <3 <3

Angelica: MARGARET LAUREN SCHUYLER

Angelica: WHERE ARE YOU COME TO MY ROOM IMMEDIATELY WE NEED TO TALK

Angelica: ELIZA TOO

John: lauren

Hercules: omg

Maria: guys, honestly, this just got really serious

Angelica: oh omg peggy i totally accept your gender this is something else

Peggy: unrelated?

Angelica: not really

Peggy: O____O

Aaron: oh no

Thomas: don't hurt them!!!

Angelica: they're my SISTER thomas what do you think i am some kind of animal?

Eliza: can we still call you our sister?

Peggy: for now. that might change

Eliza: k

Alex: can i just applaud thomas for a second for using peggy's preferred pronouns meanwhile he practically tore apart and completely invalidated bisexuality in a private message to me

Thomas: that's completely unrelated. the arguments used against bisexuality vs. nonbinary gender are COMPLETELY different. i may not completely agree with bisexuality as a valid orientation but gender is a social construct. PLUS this is peggy's brain and peggy's view on the world and themselves and i've know them a few weeks and i'm not gonna fuck with their self-esteem like that?

Thomas: i'm not THAT much of a jerk

Thomas: and also i like peggy

John: OH SHIT

Maria: i want these screenshots of this convo though

Alex: yeah, and invalidating bisexuality does wonders for the self-esteem

Lafayette: CAN WE DO THIS LATER

Lafayette: MY DARLING MARGARITA IS ABOUT TO HAVE WHAT SEEMS TO BE A VERY SERIOUS CONVERSATION WITH THEIR SISTERS ABOUT THEIR GENDER AND I'M SCARED FOR THEM

James: margartia?

Lafayette: we've been talking privately

Lafayette: about gender

Peggy: STOP

Lafayette: o.o sorry

George: Peggy, we love you. <3

Alex: yeah what he said!!!!

Alex: you'll be okay, girl

Alex: *person

Alex: ?

Eliza: k we're going in

Eliza: imma live tweet

Thomas: is that appropriate

Eliza: the people need to know

Alex: i need to know

John: i need to know

Hercules: i need to know

Maria: i need to know

Aaron: i need to know

George: i need to know

Lafayette: i need to know

Thomas: OKAY I'M GETTING LIKE ZOMBIE ROBOT VIBES OR SOME SHIT COOL IT

Eliza: okay here we go

Eliza: angelica has her arms crossed and looks kinda pissed but mostly sad??

Eliza: and peggy just looks terrified

Alex: PEGLEG :'( :'(

Aaron: pegleg

Hercules: ok ham

Eliza: A: "okay first of all peggy i fully accept your identity and will use your preferred pronouns and i love you no matter what"

John: :'D

James: then what's the problem i don't understand

Eliza: oh here it comes

Eliza: here it is

Eliza: fuck

Lafayette: ????????? ? ? ? ????

Eliza: A: "But we're your sisters, Peg. Neither Eliza nor I knew before you put it in the chat, and I don't know about Eliza, but I kinda feel...like, betrayed a little? I don't know. I'm not necessarily mad, just...confused? I don't know, HURT. Hurt and confused that you confided in these people who've barely known you a couple weeks before your own sisters."

John: ohhhhhhhhh

Maria: angie :( :( :(

Lafayette: i'm not sure if i'm understanding this properly what is wrong?

George: it seems peggy never talked to angelica or eliza about their gender before coming out in this chat earlier

Lafayette: oh i see. merde :(

Alex: shit, indeed.

Aaron: how many languages do you speak

Alex: english spanish and french

Alex: but don't a lot of people know that word anyway?

Eliza: THIS IS IRRELEVANT

Eliza: I TOLD PEGGY THAT I SUPPORT THEM AND LOVE THEM AND THEN PEGGY SAID GENDER IS A PRIVATE MATTER AND THEY DIDN'T WANT TO ASK US FOR OUR OPINION AND THEN WHEN THEY WANTED TO CHANGE PRONOUNS THEY FIGURED PUTTING IT IN THE GROUP CHAT WOULD BE FASTER BECAUSE WE WOULD GET THE MESSAGES TOO

Eliza: and also the "ease of communicating behind a screen"??

John: i feel

Lafayette: ?????

John: i feel this way too, sometimes it's way easier to type a message to someone rather than tell them out loud, especially if it's something important or dramatic

Lafayette: o

Maria: like????? ? ??? ??? ?? ;) ;) ;)

John: my sexuality will remain a mystery until i feel ready to tell you

John: plz stop

Maria: ok sry

John: <3

Maria: <3

Eliza: anyway

Eliza: so then

Eliza: angelica went back to her point about how we're their sisters and she doesn't understand why peggy wanted to go to the group chat first

Eliza: A: "you've known these people for such a short time and you've known us your whole life, you don't know if they're gonna accept you or not! they could be transphobic! who knows?!"

Eliza: no offense

George: none taken

Eliza: P: "i'm not trans, i'm fluid. or nonbinary, or nonconforming, i don't know yet! but i didn't know how you guys would react either, and if you weren't accepting, that would have been WAY worse!! i would have been so much more hurt if my own sisters didn't accept me than some freshman hall roommates who i don't know. and everyone accepts lafayette! herc made a big stink about defending them and getting their pronouns right! there was no way it couldn't have been fine!"

Hercules: ;-*

Eliza: aww

Eliza: angie has that face when she knows someone is right but doesn't wanna admit it

Eliza: P: "i get it though. i do trust and love you guys and i know you would accept me. the reason i didn't tell anyone at first was what i said, that i didn't want anyone else's opinion to influence me. it's my brain and i didn't wanna be pressured one way or the other. i only wanted to tell people when i was sure this was something i wanted to do. i rationalized telling the chat first because a couple of them are LGBT and all of them are accepting and you guys are in it so you would know. but that was quick thinking and i'm sorry if it made you upset, but you're right, family is first, and i'll tell you and liza first next time."

Eliza: A: "no i'm sorry. i overreacted. you shouldn't feel obligated to tell us first just because we're your sisters. we shouldn't force you to be comfortable and open with us. i know you know we love you no matter what, and i shouldn't have gotten so offended."

Eliza: aww there's a lot of i'm sorrys and i love yous now it's cute

Eliza: and neo therds; hugdding

Eliza: it's hard to tpye

Eliza: ilm sqished

Peggy: don't fight it lizzie

Angelica: and don't call me angie

Alex: EVERYTHING IS GOOD AND RESOLVED YAY

Maria: can i call you lizzie omg

Hercules: lizzie mcquire

Eliza: maybe in kuje 2 weeks wheb i actuaaly meet youbi erpson

Aaron: are you still squished in a hug

Chapter Text

Well it certainly has been way more than a hot minute.

This is not going to be fun for you to read. But I'm not dead, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth, and I'm still getting really nice comments on this story, which I really appreciate, so I figured everyone deserved some kind of explanation. 

Here is a list of all the things that have happened in the almost year since you last heard from me.

1. As expected, senior year of college just about completely took over my life and I did not have as much free time to write.
2. I student taught during the winter and spring and lost even more of my free time, if you can believe that. I had to give up a big chunk of my social life, a chunk that I still had during the fall, so if I had to do that, there was no way I could find time to write.
3. I graduated from college. 
4. I spent months trying to find a full time teaching job.
5. I got a full time teaching job.
6. I saw Hamilton on Broadway and it was just as amazing as I hoped it would be, please please PLEASE go see it if you can, Javier and Lexi and everyone are all so good I was shaking so much and cried a little and just. Yorktown live. Oh my god. Everything about it was phenomenal and unreal. Fuck.
7. HOWEVER, all of that being said, the thing that happened during all of this that is most relevant to you guys is that, while I still love Hamilton a lot, I lost interest in fanfiction and involvement with the fandom.

I start my job in September. If i had to give up that much of my social life during student teaching, I have no idea what's going to happen to me with a full time job. And with the lack of interest in Hamilton fanfiction, any updates you guys get would not only be extremely sporadic, but I'd be forcing myself to write chapters that probably will just turn out shitty. And you guys don't deserve a shitty story.

So all of that being said, I think you can figure out where I'm going with this. 

I'm officially abandoning this story.

I'm really really, truly sorry. Part of the reason, too, is that I almost completely ran out of ideas. The only one that was really solid was Alex and Eliza's first date, which maybe I'll write a separate thing for if I find the motivation and if you really want me to. If you want to know how it ends, I know Alex and Eliza were going to be together and stay together through the end of this fic. The Yorktown Hall series, however, would have ended with Alex and John (you can read about them, if you haven't already, in "All This Liquor Bringing Out the Truth", the second part of this series). I also would have loved to develop Thomas and James, Lafayette and Hercules, and maybe others. But those plans weren't even starting to get developed. And I'm 100% sure Alex would have destroyed that cheeto we have as a president every single day because no one expected him to win. Not me, at least. And certainly not him.

If anyone wants to take the general idea of the Hamilsquad in the same freshman hall and run with it and take them through an entire school year like I wanted to, please feel free to do so. And don't hesitate to send it my way. Even after I just said I don't really read Hamilton fic anymore, if I inspired you to write something, I would be thrilled to read it.

Seriously. It's breaking my heart just typing this. But you deserve a reason and an update, and you deserve a good story, and you don't deserve an author who leaves for nearly a year and then comes back just to leave again. I hope you understand. 

I have a couple of other fics up that I've written in the last year, but they're Jonas Brothers and Baby Driver, if you're in any of those fandoms. But if you decide to look for me anywhere, please don't hesitate, to message me if you want to. Scream at me about Hamilton, whatever you want. I'll reply, I promise.

And lastly:

Thank you. 

Thank you thank you thank you. From the bottom of my heart. For every comment, every kudos, every single click and passing glance at this dumb little story. All of it means so so much to me. More than you will ever know. 

I'm physically unable to type the word "goodbye" and leave it at that. So I'll leave it with the hope that you know that I love you all. I really truly do.
