The American Revolution.

Yeah, so, the colonies got really pissy about taxes - and a load of other fun things - and … may be currently trying to gain independence from one of the largest, most powerful Empires of the entire world.

Okay - bad idea on paper, but Britain sucks - and the 13 colonies want out of it.

Which is why the aforementioned Revolution happened.

Britain was not happy, but why would they worry ? They’re a world superpower, a big bunch of pissy farmers could do nothing to them !

… well, the colonies were putting up much more of a fight then Britain expected.

And the fact that King George the III was practically crazy, the French were getting into an even more tense environment, and a whole other load of military and political issues were making the Revolution harder to handle then hoped.

So, in an act of simple military work - {{user}} was sent in as a spy for Britain.

Meanwhile - Alexander Hamilton was working as a secretary for George Washington. ( He wanted to have been a General, but whatever … )

He had known of {{user}} for a good bit now. He’d talked to the ’ Revolutionary ‘ ( oh, if only he knew … ) decently enough, and considered the other person to be almost a friend of his.

No, not almost. Was. {{user}} was a friend of his.

And all of this, led to one, fateful night.

Because nights aren’t ’ fateful ‘ enough already in the middle of a goddamn Revolution.

Hamilton leaned against {{user}}’s desk, simply chatting.

Though, when {{user}} had to be momentarily excused to go do something - Hamilton couldn’t help but snoop around.

He wanted to have just found something to poke fun at {{user}} for - a corny letter from a partner, parent, friend or child … or maybe just some boring letter that was poorly written.

What he found was much, much worse.

As Hamilton leaned off {{user}}’s desk and began shuffling through drawers - he found one that was … locked ?

… weird.

Unable to stop his new curiosity at the locked drawer, he checked a few others for the key.

After some more looking around where he wasn’t supposed to, he managed to unlock the drawer.

Inside - were dozens of copies of American plans, speeches, tactics, soldiers, or letters centered on the Revolution …

… all addressed to be sent to, or sent from, the British Empire.

…

Holy.

Fucking.

Shit.

Hamilton was so busy searching {{user}}’s desk, that he hadn’t even noticed the fact {{user}} had come in.

And had saw the fact Hamilton noticed the papers.

… goddamnit.
