History Fanfic / Hamilton

* {{Seer}}: Aaron Burr.

* BaitAndSwitch: There’s a dream sequence that looks very similar to the “The World Was Wide Enough” in the real-life ''Hamilton'' musical that implies Aaron is shooting Alexander. Right after he yells “wait” (this is after his gun goes off in both the real-life musical and the fanfiction), this sequence ends to show that he’s clearly not shooting anyone. Right after that’s been established, he gets the news that someone else shot Alexander.

* SidelongGlanceBiopic: An InUniverse {{Biopic}} about Aaron Burr, but Alexander Hamilton’s the narrator, at least until Alexander dies near the end of the show.

* AmbiguousSituation: Since In-Universe it’s debated whether Aaron knew Alexander was the biological father of Aaron’s children, the In-Universe musical creators kept it vague whether Aaron knew (and specifically arranged that to happen) or not, offering lines like “we were a family” that leave room for either interpretation.

* SidelongGlanceBiopic: An InUniverse {{Biopic}} about Aaron Burr, but Alexander Hamilton’s the narrator, at least until he dies.

''Hamilton'' exists in [[FanVerse the world]] of [[https://archiveofourown.org/users/savrenim/pseuds/savrenim savrenim]]'s, fanfiction ''Fanfic/ItFeelsMoreLikeAMemory'', which is fanfiction of the real-life musical over at ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}''. In-Universe, ''Hamilton'' is a hit musical. Out of universe, it’s a synopsis.

It‘s based on chapters 7–27 of ''it feels more like a memory'' long after everyone in the fic had died and the events in the fic became historical ones InUniverse.

* AmbiguouslyBi / AmbiguouslyGay: It's kept vague whether Aaron and Alexander were a thing in the Revolutionary War. They're clearly shown as close to each other and there are some throwaway lines that only imply they were a thing. The tumblr post doesn't make it clear whether Aaron and/or Alexander were clearly portrayed as (not) attracted to women in the musical, only that male/male attraction was left vague for both of them, so it's unclear ''which'' of Ambiguously Bi or Ambiguously Gay applies, but at least one of them definitely does.

* BasedOnATrueStory: In-Universe, it’s based on historical events.

* {{Seer}}: Aaron Burr.

* RecycledTitle: The musical this fanfiction is based off of is titled ''Hamilton''. Aaron's second lifetime has a musical dedicated to it InUniverse, which is also titled ''Hamilton'', and made by the same people who made the real-life ''Hamilton''. It's not SimilarlyNamedWorks since that requires the works be completely unrelated aside from the name, and this is a derivative work of the derivative work ''it feels more like a memory'' which is derived from the real-life musical ''Hamilton''. It's not InNameOnly either, even though that's for derivative works, since it'd have to be able to stand alone as an original work with nobody being able to identify the source material if only a few minor changes were made like the title and character names, and this is clearly a derivative of the real ''Hamilton''[[note]]going by many historical events it covers (even if many went differently, you'll still find familiar Revolutionary War battles and pieces of legislation, the same characters, and because this lifetime had characters swap roles you'll find somewhat similar storylines)[[/note]]. Recycled Title is the best fit[[note]]even though it might not count either, since that seems to be for things that are canonically part of the same fictional universe, and implies the title is just a lazy copy of an old one with no new meaning added. This musical is canon to the ''it feels more like a memory'' fanfic, but ''ifmlam'' and thus this musical were never made canon to the real-life ''Hamilton''. And the shared title actually has a different meaning: though both are titled after Alexander Hamilton, in this musical the title is a twist because it casts Alexander Hamilton as the narrator telling the story of Aaron Burr's life, separating it from most other media made about Aaron's life InUniverse. The real ''Hamilton'' is also titled for Alexander Hamilton, with the twist being that it's also titled for his wife Elizabeth Hamilton who preserved his legacy.[[/note]]
