History Fanfic / ItFeelsMoreLikeAMemory

* TriangRelations: The following examples are in chronological order.
** Type Four: Eliza wants Aaron, who only wants her friendship and is in a romantic relationship with Alexander.
** Type Seven: Aaron marries Eliza at Alexander and the Schuylers’ behest, but still loves Alexander, who loves him back. He doesn’t quite love her, but also doesn’t not love her. Some may feel the “doesn’t quite love” part makes this still a Type Four despite the marriage and the “doesn’t not love part.”
** [[spoiler:Type Eight: Unbeknownst to the still-married Aaron who still loves Alexander, Alexander has sex with Eliza in an attempt to ruin Aaron’s marriage out of jealousy and hope that the ruined marriage will send Aaron back to him. If you don’t count sex as enough to make a mutual connection between Alexander and Eliza, this is either a Type Seven or Type Four depending on how you judged the above bullet point, but it still evolves into a Type Eight because Alexander eventually falls for Eliza and she him, and both still love Aaron.]]

* {{Seer}}: Aaron Burr can see future events, as could some other [[HistoricalDomainCharacter Historical Domain Characters]] who came before him, most importantly Joan of Arc.

* ShowWithinAShow: Musicals within a fanfiction, and fanfiction within a fanfiction. In universe of the fanfiction ''it feels more like a memory'', the second timeline has the musical ''Fanfic/{{Hamilton}}'', and the third timeline has ''Fanfic/BurrAnAmericanMusical'' and many fanfics based on that musical, one called ''Fanfic/IfTheresAReason''.

* DifferentWorldDifferentMovies: The second and third timeline still have an equivalent to the real-life ''Hamilton'' musical (one also titled ''Fanfic/{{Hamilton}}'' and one titled ''Fanfic/BurrAnAmericanMusical'']], respectively). However, the actual events shown are different, given what happened in those timelines differs from what happened in real life. The third timeline also has an equivalent to the real-life ''Hamilton'' fanfic written by savrenim titled ''it feels more like a memory'': a ''Burr: An American Musical'' fanfic written by savrenim titled ''Fanfic/IfTheresAReason''. Again, the fic's events are different because what happened in the third timeline, and thus what the musical's events are, are different from what happened in real life.

* ShowWithinAShow: The InUniverse versions of the musicals the fic author wrote for Aaron's second and third lifetime.

* A musical also titled ''Fanfic/{{Hamilton}}'' ([[https://savrenim.tumblr.com/post/154913162666/wheeee-mkay-latest-anon-so-i-am-paranoid-about link]] and ([[http://web.archive.org/web/20210112153112/https://savrenim.tumblr.com/post/154913162666/wheeee-mkay-latest-anon-so-i-am-paranoid-about mirror]]), based on events from ''it feels more like a memory'' long after everyone in the fic had died and the events became historical ones. The actual musical hasn’t been written out of universe, just a synopsis and various facts about it, which is what’s linked. Spoils up to the end of chapter 27.

* HypotheticalCasting: The cast for the two InUniverse musicals. The same people from ''Hamilton'' are still in these two musicals, although the characters they play sometimes don’t match who they played in real life. For example, Creator/PhillipaSoo, who played Eliza in the real-life version of ''Hamilton'' plays Dolley Madison in ''Burr: An American Musical''.

* AllMusicalsAreAdaptations: The [[SelfAdaptation author of this fic adapted the events of Aaron's second and third lifetimes into musicals]], making two fanfiction-to-musical adaptations. The InUniverse versions of these musicals are also adaptations, albeit [[ATrueStoryInMyUniverse historical-event-to-musical adaptations]].
* AllThereInTheManual: Both the works with the ''Fanfic/{{Hamilton}}'' and ''Fanfic/BurrAnAmericanMusical'' musicals include canon details that didn’t make it to the fic about how people in 21st century of the second and third timeline interpret the events of the life Aaron lived in that timeline, and the musicals’ production and reception. ''Burr: An American Musical'' also details [[spoiler:Jefferson’s impeachment trial]].

* DifferentWorldDifferentMovies: The second and third timeline still have an equivalent to the real-life ''Hamilton'' musical ([[https://savrenim.tumblr.com/post/154913162666/wheeee-mkay-latest-anon-so-i-am-paranoid-about one also titled ''Hamilton'']] and [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/10308764/chapters/22794623 one titled ''Burr: An American Musical'']], respectively). Both timeline equivalents were made by the same creators, including the actors, from the ''Hamilton'' musical. However, the actual events shown are different, given what happened in those timelines differs from what happened in real life. The third timeline also has an equivalent to the real-life ''Hamilton'' fanfic written by savrenim titled ''it feels more like a memory'': a ''Burr: An American Musical'' fanfic written by savrenim titled [[https://savrenim.tumblr.com/post/158449285416 ''if there's a reason'']]. Again, the fic's events are different because what happened in the third timeline, and thus what the musical's events are, are different from what happened in real life.

* AllThereInTheManual: ''Burr: An American Musical'' has canon details that didn’t make it to the fic, especially about [[spoiler:Jefferson’s impeachment trial]].
* AllThereInTheScript: The only part of Aaron's grandfather's name found directly in the fic is his surname, Edwards. The author's notes after the end of chapter 36 gives his full name, Jonathan Edwards.

* SuperRegistrationAct: At least in America, Seers are required to reveal themselves to their country’s government during wartime, otherwise they’re committing treason, and it’s based off of a similar law in Britain. WordOfGod also [[https://archiveofourown.org/comments/84320524 says]] most countries have a law where Seers have to declare themselves to the government.

** InUniverse events pre-Aaron Burr proceeded just like real history, even though Seers existed throughout. Any changes are more akin to RealEventFictionalCause, where the event plays out just the same but there's an extra reason for it. Even that might not count, because she claimed to have visions of saints in real life in a time period where religion was taken very seriously, and that's also how her power manifested in this story. All the new events pre-Burr that happened differently than real life because Seers exist are 1) as a consequence of Joan of Arc, Britain set up a way to confirm someone as a Seer so they might know the next time a Seer comes around and 2) Seers are an object of study, and there are debates about who was a Seer.
