all lowercase letters: Like every other chapter title of this fic, this chapter's title is in all lowercase letters.
Decoy Convoy: When Aaron goes to the negotiations of the Treaty of Paris, since King George III never relinquished the offer of a dukedom to anyone who can bring him Aaron’s head.
They arrive at Nantes—(“I thought we were going to Le Havre?” Aaron asks, and Laurens shakes his head. “We sent a decoy ship there, and told the captain mid-voyage to change course, couldn’t take any chances with the British, not on the high seas”)
Double-Meaning Title: Chapter 15, "the terms of surrender i" most obviously refers to the Treaty of Paris negotiations about to take place, where terms will be set down in the aftermath of the British surrendering in the Revolutionary War. It also refers to Aaron surrendering to marrying Eliza after pressure from Angelica and Alexander.
Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: Following the convention of naming every chapter title after a Hamilton lyric, this chapter takes its title from the lyric “We negotiate the terms of surrender" from "Yorktown (The World Turned Upside Down)."
