Soooooo my sister and I just finished binging Stranger Things (SUCH A GOOD SHOW AHHHHHHH!!!) And because my AU brain refuses to STOP I’ve been thinking of TWO potential AUs from this, involving both Hamilton AND In the Heights!
The first is just purely Hamilton, starring the Hamilsquad as our four main characters and Aaron Burr as Eleven. Unfortunately that’s as far as I’ve gotten, but the cool thing about this is that depending on who in the Hamilsquad you ship Burr with, you can switch around who can be Michael and who gets taken to the Upside Down.
I personally would make the main ship Hamburr and have Laurens be taken by the monster (but he lives of course…unless Season 2 betrays me) but Burrens, Burrcules, and Burrfayette are ALL fair game here; hell, I’d even say a poly-ship is possible! (hit me up if you wish, @hubris-but-no-writing you’re the best I know when it comes to Hamilsquad stuff ;) ) The rest of the cast though…well…yeah…I’m drawing blanks there.
MY NEXT AU would be a kind of crossover between both Hamilton and Heights. I’m thinking that Phillip, Georges Lafayette, Pete, and Sonny would be the four kids and MAYBE Theodosia Jr would be Eleven; I’m torn because I think it would be funny to have Theodosia be more like the Lucas of the group but I’m Philidosia trash soooo…
But the BIG ONE would be that Sonny is Will. Yep, the Son-shine gets taken to the Upside Down. Why? Well, not just because I have a knack for putting Sonny through pain (let’s face it, we ALL do), but MOSTLY because Usnavi is Joyce. Like, no question whatsoever, USNAVI IS JOYCE (minus the whole deadbeat jackass lover thing).
Adding on to that, I think it would be cool to maybe have Vanessa be Chief Hopper, only with the drinking issues being with her mom and not her herself. Plus, Vanessa would NOT STOP until she knew Sonny was safe, we’d have some good Vansnavi stuff in there, BOATLOADS of Usnavi and Sonny fluff, and it would all just be so cute with a happy ending (again, unless Season 2 betrays me…you better not pull any shit, Netflix!) Not sure about the rest of the cast though but whatever!
So what do you think, guys?
