I have no idea why Iâm making this, I guess itâs an attempt to organize myself and to maybe see if thereâs any interest in what Iâm working on. Anyway, hereâs a list of all my WIPs and whatâs going on with them.

You would meet AndrĂŠ maybe at a gala or at the theater, or when youâre taking a turn about the garden
But it wouldnât matter, because you would LITERALLY stop dead in your tracks
John AndrĂŠ had a bit of a reputation around Philadelphia, but you wouldnât care, regardless of where you were a Loyalist or not
Because heâs just so damn beautiful. Like, stop immediately talking to the person your with, drop your bag, handkerchief, whatever, type of beautiful.
 But so are you, after all, he stopped to notice you as well
And maybe he walks over, a smirk on his face, watching your every move as you pretend to not stare at him
You wrestle with your mind to turn back around and head the other direction or keep on walking, but you are powerless to the strong gaze he holds on you
âI beg your pardon,â He world say, âHave I passed you by before? Or seen you in the area?â
Maybe he had seen you, or you had noticed him before. He was the kind of person who was hard to forget, but you shake your head, and squeak out a, âNo.â
âImpossible,â He would step back on his heels before bending low, taking your hand to kiss it gently as he bowed. You can feel the smile on his lips even as they scald your skin, even as you feel branded by his touch, âI would have noticed your presence.âÂ
You blush. Maybe the person beside you clears their throat or gives you a sideways glance, they break your attention away from the attractive major.
âAre you always quite this forthcoming, Major AndrĂŠ?â You cast your friend a sideways glance, regaining some of your composure, and half of the wit you were known for
He casts a wicked smile in your direction, âAhh, so you have heard of me.â
You chuckle at his charm, âHalf the eligible people of Philadelphia have heard of you, Major. You seem to be quite a popular topic these days.â
He blows you away, even in such small interactions. His intelligence and charm are unmatched, and rightfully so.
âThen you have discussed me?â He would ask, coy and composed.Â
You know you have, but you would never dare to admit such a thing. You knew what he looked like - most of the time he was dressed in the snappy uniform of a redcoat, but oh, the other moments when he was dressed in a flowing white shirt and tight breeches.Â
âOnly, perhaps, in passing,â You responded, just as coy.Â
There was a knowing glance between the two of you, the tension in the air thick enough to cut with a bayonet.
Let the games begin, you thought. Major AndrĂŠ had met his match.Â
authorâs note: let me know what you might want to see next! requests are open.Â
Could you do headcannons for turn characters reacting to having someone admit their feelings?
Benjamin Tallmadge: I think Ben would be shocked that you admitted you had feelings for him, like thereâs a good chance this man is gonna be speechless for what will feel like an eternity. Give him a minute and allow him to fully process what you just said. Once he processes it, I think he would be relieved that you told him, heâs been trying to work up the courage to tell you his feelings for awhile now.
Benedict Arnold: I donât believe for a second that anyone in their right mind would have feelings for him. But letâs pretend, shall we? Heâs gonna be a smug asshole about it, he just automatically assumes all women everywhere love him. Telling him you had feelings for him would just inflate his ego and it would probably be visible from space. Please donât tell him you have feelings for him, the world doesnât need that shit show.
Robert Townsend: I think he would be very caught off guard to find out that you had feelings for him, he might even wonder if youâre lying to him. Actually, he probably assumes that youâre lying to him. I think eventually over time he would return the feelings, but not in some grand gesture, Robert is all about those small and subtle gestures.
Caleb Brewster: Heâs gonna tease the fuck out of you about it, pretty much to the point where you regret ever telling him. Itâll come from a place of love though. Plus, he would give you that cute smirk and you would remember that you love this dumb troublemaker.
Lafayette: I feel like it would depend on where you told him. Like if there were other people around, I feel like he would probably act like a proper gentleman about it, very respectful and chaste kiss on your cheek or hand. But if you were to tell when the two of you were alone, he would probably act like an excited puppy, I feel like he would pick you up and spin you around and probably trip over his own feet.
Alexander: I donât think he would be surprised that you had feelings for him, he figured it was just a matter of time before you fell for his charms.
Washington: I feel like he would just silently stare at you with that Dad⢠look, probably to the point where you wish the earth would open up and swallow you whole. Also, he probably start talking about wood paneling to avoid talking about his feelings or he would just simply say âThank you.â
Edmund: This man will be a stuttering mess, he would be so excited but also a bit nervous that this is just another Anna situation. I think once he realizes that you actually mean it, heâs gonna be over the moon.
Andre: I think he would already know before you say anything, heâs just been waiting for you to say it. You would already be the most important person in his life at this point, so hearing you tell him that youâre in love with him would just be icing on the cake.Â
Abe: For some reason, I picture you telling him as heâs about to do something very stupid. I mean itâs Abe, so this isnât exactly out of the realm of possibilities, ya know? Anyway, I think at first he would probably gloss over the fact you just told him that youâre in love with him and keep telling you his dumb plans. Shake some sense into this boy and try again.
Rogers: First off, is he sober enough to remember? If not, you might have to wait until heâs gonna be able to remember. Also, I would suggest asking my wife @simcoeandchesterfieldmysavages since sheâs the Rogers expert in our commune.
Ensign Baker: Oh, my sweet darling Baker boy. I love him so much I literally wanna cry. Telling him you had feelings for him would make him the happiest heâs ever been in his life. All he really wants in life is to be loved and to have a family of his own, so knowing that you returned his feelings would be the best news heâs ever heard. He would probably smile for days afterwards and tell everyone in a ten mile radius how lucky he is.
Akinbode: He is already fully aware that youâre in love with him and has been for awhile now. When you finally tell him, heâll get that cocky smirk that kinda makes your heart melt and say something like âtook you long enough to figure it out.âÂ
how would a John Andre x ATP reader relationship work? (he doesn't die)
I think he would probably be intrigued by her, she would probably be trying her best to blend in with her surroundings, but as we all know John is very good at picking up on those little details. So in his mind sheâs already going to stand out among other women and Iâd like to think these small differences would draw him in.
At first it would probably be a Philomena situation, him trying to use her to fill the void left by Peggy but I donât see that being a problem with her. She would go into the situation with the knowledge that theyâre using each other, her using the situation to her advantage and getting what information she can from him without being too obvious.
As it generally does in fanfic, a FWB situation always leads to complicated feelings. I think she would feel torn, heâs suppose to be a mission and not someone sheâs suppose to develop feelings for. On Johnâs part, heâs going to wonder what his relationship with the reader means for him and Peggy. How do these feelings compare to what he feels/felt for Peggy?
I would like to think that John and the reader would at the very least give their relationship a real shot. I think they could be good together, I can see John charming the petticoats off the reader and her totally loving it and convincing her that she deserves a happy life. I think she would challenge him and call him out of his shit, I donât think sheâd play into his Peggy role play the way Philomena did.
The real question would be could their relationship survive if it came to light that she was a spy for the Americans? If he loves her, could he turn her in knowing that he would be sending her to the gallows? Or would he keep that information to himself, and if he does do they stay together? đ¤

Hereâs something that absolutely no one asked for or wants. So, I have no idea why Iâve been thinking about this, but here ya go. Enjoy.
These are my personal opinions.Â
Edmund Hewlett: Heâs the type of man that your parents would want you to marry. Hell, they maybe even pushed you into dating him. Heâs not a bad boyfriend, in fact heâs probably the sweetest boyfriend ever, itâs just the fact that you two are two very different people. A decent relationship, but no fireworks.
Benjamin Tallmadge: The one that got away. Ben is the man you occasionally think about and wonder âwhat if?â The two of you wouldâve been perfect together, everyone in your lives think so but life never got the timing right. Possibility of getting together later in life. Possible soulmate.
Caleb Brewster: The guy you dated to piss your parents off, probably after the relationship with Edmund. Rebellious stage boyfriend. Heâs the one who gets you out of your shell, pushes you into lots of fun (and possibly dangerous) adventures, forces you to experience life. Fun relationship, but not marriage material.
Abraham Woodhull: First boyfriend, possibly first everything. Heâs likable enough, your parents are okay with you dating him, can sometimes border on âyou could do better, but you could also do worseâ type of approval. He can be sweet sometimes, itâs with him that you first experience the butterflies in your stomach type of love. You think you love him, but youâre young and stupid and so is he.
Selah Strong: First Adult relationship. He pined after you for awhile, watching you date a bunch of douchebags, but he was respectful and waited for you realize that those guys werenât right for you. Eventually you would realize those guys were poor stand ins for Selah, he treats you like a goddess.
Robert Townsend: Quiet love, slow burn relationship. There are no grand gestures of romantic intent, just a slowly blossoming flower. The two of you are best friends, neither one of you wanting to admit to your feelings to the other, but everyone can see it. The relationship blossoms very slowly into something more.
John Andre: Love at first sight, you both fall head over heels for each other. For the first time in your life you can see yourself planning a future with another person. Whirlwind romance, neither one of you have ever experienced anything like it before, it is intense and all consuming. Sometimes it feels like your heart beats only for one another. He makes you believe in soulmates.
Lafayette:Â Vacation fling that turns into something more. I picture meeting Laf sometime after the death of Andre, while youâre on a trip to rediscover who you are without John in your life and Laf comes in and sweeps you off of your feet. It starts off as a fling, you donât think your heart is ready for love yet and Laf is respectful of that. Eventually, Lafâs natural charms work their magic, he helps to heal your heart and you realize how much you care for and fall in love with him.
John Graves Simcoe: Someone you date after Andre dies. Maybe your friends are pushing you to get back out there and you date him because he seems like the polar opposite of Andre and you hope that itâll help you move on. Not a bad relationship, he can be intense but a good guy. The two of you have a good time together and have some fun *ahem* experiences together, but you both know thereâs an expiration date on the relationship.
George Washington: Graduate Student/Adviser Professor. Heâs your adviser, the two of you have a lot of chemistry that you try to downplay because of the nature of your relationship. Eventually one of you makes a move, itâs a decent relationship that lasts a few months. He challenges you in all the best ways and you dig the aura of authority he has. The stress of trying to keep the relationship a secret becomes too much and the relationship ends.
Akindobe: You fall for your attractive neighbor. Flirty banter whenever you pass each other in the hallway or lobby. One night one of you gets locked out of your apartment, the super wonât answer or isnât available to come unlock the door so you stay at the other personâs apartment. You become friends and soon more. Itâs a good relationship, you seem like a good match maybe you even discussed taking the next step. Youâre heartbroken when he leaves you for Abigail, but when you run into them a few years down the road you realize theyâre perfect for each other.
Alexander Hamilton: He would be the cocky and flirty asshat of the friend group and you each like other more than you let on and he uses the attitude to hide his feelings for you. Your friends push the two of you into spending more time alone together because they all see that you guys are in love with each other. Eventually you both get your shit together and tell each other how you feel. You fall for the real Alex, the one you have to drag away from the office and who can clings to you during bad thunderstorms. He insists on writing you old school love letters and you save each one (youâd have soooooo many love letters). It takes a lot of working being with each other, since both of you are damaged in your own ways but also each willing to put in the work.
Thomas Baker (Ensign Baker): Â Oh, man. You literally running into him in a comic book shop (modern!Baker is a comic nerd, fight me on this). The two of you start talking about your favorite comic book series, suddenly you both realize that youâve been there for hours talking/debating about different comics, tv and movie adaptations. Numbers are finally exchanged and the rest is history. Heâs a sweet and supportive boyfriend, perfect relationship. Heâs gonna propose at Comic Con, if he can heâll try to do at the panel for your favorite comic related movie or show. Bonus points if youâre both in costume when he does it.
Benedict Arnold:Â Fuck this guy. No one likes him and he dies alone. He would be the worst blind date youâd ever go on. In fact, one of the other guys would probably step in to save you from this date. Maybe its how you meet Caleb, he sees how miserable you look sitting across from this asshole, so he swoops in and pretends to be your jealous boyfriend, cusses Benedict out and causes a scene in the restaurant. Benedict figures youâre not worth the trouble and leaves, leaving you and Caleb to have a sort of first date. A terrible blind date leads into the best blind date.Â
Warnings: I donât think thereâs anything. I tried to keep it clean & fluffy. If you see something that needs a warning, please let me know.
Word Count: 1918
Request: âCould you please write something for the TURN boys and what waking up next to them would be like, like tangled limbs, twirling their hair, trying to get each other out of bed but also not wanting to get up and go, just some really cute morning fluff.â
A/N: Oh boy, this request made me smile! I am ready for Turn Squad fluff. The title was taken from a song by the same name by Nate Maingard, you should check it out! Itâll put you in the mood for some cute morning fluff.
Once again, if you donât see a Turn character you want/like, feel free to send in a request for that person.
A very special thank you to @thatadelemgalâ for always helping with ideas, youâre the best.

Benjamin Tallmadge
âThis is how every morning should be.â You thought to yourself, as you lay in bed trying your best to fight off any motivation to get out of bed and start the day. You wanted to stay in this moment for as long as possible.
Between the warmth of the morning sun shining through the windows onto your bed, and the feeling of Benjamin curled against your back with his arm holding you tight against his chest, it was easy to give into the desire to abandon any and all plans to ever leave your bed.
âCome on, love. Itâs time to wake up.â You said looking over your shoulder, trying to look at him. Ben groans in response and buries his face in the crook of your neck and holding you a little tighter.
You interlaced your fingers with Benâs and brought his hand up to your lips and placed a kiss on the back of his hand, you could feel his smile on your skin. You let go of his hand as you try making a half hearted attempt at getting out of bed, for all your efforts Ben just pulls you back towards him and started placing kisses onto your neck and shoulder.
âWho says we have to get out bed today?â He asked as you rolled over to face him, you run your fingers through his hair and smile knowing you were able to wake up to his beautiful face each morning.
âStaying in bed all day does sound very tempting, but it might become a bit awkward and not to mention very crowded once Abe and Caleb come over.â You said as you buried your face in his chest.
âWhat if we pretend that weâre not home and just ignore them.â He pushed your hair out of your face and pressed a kiss on your forehead
âYou truly think a locked door is going to stop Caleb?â You laughed.
âFair point. What about a few more minutes?â He asked as you wrapped a leg around his waist and you rest your hand against the back of his neck, softly tracing shapes on his skin. âIâll take that as a yes.â He smiles as he gently lifts your chin so that he can kiss you while he drapes his arm around you, pulling you in closer against him.
You smile as you feel your eyelids start to feel heavy, delighted with the fact the two of you were able to prolong this perfect morning even if only for a few more minutes. Itâs not long before the quiet of the house and warmth of one another starts to ferry you off to sleep.
Caleb Brewster
Caleb woke up to the feeling of you nestled in his arms, your head upon his chest with your fingers absentmindedly stroking his cheek and beard and your leg draped across his legs.
He wasnât sure where this strange morning habit of running your fingers through his beard came from nor could he remember exactly when it started, but he knew that whenever he felt the soft tips of your fingers on his face he felt safe and at home.
Caleb starts softly humming while running his fingers through your hair as you nuzzled your face against his chest. He began thinking of all the life choices and the things he experienced in the war that led him to be here in this moment with you in his arms. He feels you start to stir next to him.
âHmmmâŚDid you sleep well?â You ask him, while you caress his cheek.
âSorry, dove. I didnât mean to wake you.â He leans in to kiss your forehead.
âDonât be sorry, I am grateful for every morning that I am able to wake up next to you.â You squeeze him a little tighter. âWere you able to get any sleep last night?â
âJust a bit.â He quietly replies. You pull yourself away from him and sit with your back against the headboard of the bed.
âCome here, Caleb.â You beckon him, letting him rest his head in your lap. Once heâs comfortable you lean down, kissing his cheek as you start running your fingers through his hair and softly singing to him as he slowly falls asleep.
So deep in love as I
But I never will prove false to the bonny lass I love
Till the stars fall from the sky my dear
Till the stars fall from the sky
Alexander Hamilton
You awoke to find yourself laying on your side with Alexanderâs face buried in your chest and yourâs resting on the top of his head. His arms tightly wrapped around you, with one of yourâs cradling him against you and the other tucked underneath your head.
No matter how the two of you went to bed the night before, whether happy and in love or silent and angrily turned away from each other; by the next morning your bodies would always end up tangled with one another. It felt like your bodies knew they belonged together and no amount of disagreements was going to keep them apart. Waking up in each otherâs arms always made whatever petty argument the two of you had the night before fade away with the rising of the morning sun. Even in the few short months you had been together, you both quickly learned you both slept better with in each otherâs arms.
The downside to being Alexanderâs corresponding puzzle piece is that is was always pretty much impossible to slip out of bed unnoticed. You slowly try untangling yourself from him, careful not to wake him. Once youâre untangled, you attempt to gently roll him away from you. Alexander begins to wake up as you pull away from him.
â[Y/N]? What on earth are you doing?â He asks, his voice still laced with the grogginess of sleep.
âShhh, itâs alright, love. Just go back to sleep, Iâll be right back.â You kiss his cheek before you move to sit at the edge of the bed, before youâre able to get out of bed you feel the bed dip as Alexander sits behind you, his arms wrap around your stomach. You can feel the warmth of his body against your back.
âYou know I wonât be able fall asleep without you, please just stay.â He pulls you towards him and rests his head on your shoulder.
âWe cannot possibly stay in bed all day. We have to get out of bed at some point, my dear.â You place your hand on top of his, interlacing your fingers with his.
âPlease stay.â You feel his forehead pressed against your shoulder.
âAlex, youâre making it sound as if Iâm leaving you forever. I was just going to make breakfast.â You laugh as you lean back against him, you feel him shaking his head.
âNo, not important. Youâre staying here with me, and I do not intend on letting you go.â He squeezes you tighter as he falls onto his side. Spooning against you, he buries his face in the crook of your neck as you give in and the two of you delay the day for just a little bit longer.
Lafayette
The morning light shining through the bedroom windows greeted you as you opened your eyes. You smiled to yourself as you felt Gilbertâs fingers against your skin, softly running down up and down the length of your spine.
âI know you are awake, my love.â He leans over and whispers into your ear, you shake your head no and try burying your face into your pillow.
âAwww, do not hide your beautiful face. Please? I have missed waking up next to you every morning.â He gently tries to coax you to face him, which you finally do. Your heart soars for a moment seeing him laying beside you, but you still canât shake the tiny voice in your head telling you that this is all just a dream. You slowly prop yourself up on your elbows, trying to think of how to explain properly explain the thoughts running through your head.
âBecause I canât decide if all of this, if last night was real or if I am having the best dream imaginable. Iâm afraid that if it is a dream, Iâll wake up and youâll still be in France.â You quietly admit to him, partially ashamed.
âAmour de ma vie.â The sight of his smile makes whatever doubts you had lingering in your mind suddenly disappear. âI promise you, that I am truly here, by your side and that there is nowhere else in the world I would rather be.â
John Andre
The first sign that John was up to something was up to something should have been when the faint sounds of his violin floating through the house, but in the haze of sleep you wrote it off as a part of a dream.
Later when you feel the sensation of someone pushing your hair off of your face. When you open your eyes you see John sitting next to you, his back propped up against pillows and the headboard with his journal in his lap works away on something.
âWhat could you possibly be working on this early in the morning?â You sleepily ask him. He smiles at you before closing his journal and sets it on his bedside table before leaning down to you to give you kiss.
âTo be fair, I was only finishing something.â He playfully replied as you roll away from him, stealing all of the blankets with you.
âWorking. Finishing. Itâs the same thing, John. I thought we agreed that you wouldnât bring your work into bed.â You answer him while you cocoon yourself in the stolen blanket.
âWhat if I told you, that I was finishing something for you. Would that be an exception to our rule?â John curls up behind you.
âThen I would say that I might be willing to hear your argument.â You turn your head to look back at him, you see him smiling at you. John moves back to his side of the bed, grabbing his journal. You hear him flipping through the pages trying to find what he was last working on.
âIf you want to see it, youâre going to have to come over here.â He laughs when he hears you whine. âI know, Iâm sorry I am breaking you out of your cocoon early.â He watches and laughs as you struggle to untangle yourself from the blanket. âWould you like some help?â
âPlease.â You reply as you give up. John kneels beside you as he unravels the twisted blanket. When youâre free you reposition yourself next to him, resting your head in his lap as he picks up his journal.
You spend most of the morning curled up on Johnâs lap while he reads you his latest poetry. âThis is what I wanted to show you. I am not completely done with it, someone decided to scold me about working in bed.â He lifts your head off of his lap and slips out of bed, picking up his violin. He proceeds to play you one of the most beautiful pieces of music you have ever heard.
âYou wrote that for me?â You ask once he finished playing, wiping a tear from your eye. He smiles as he sets his violin down before answering you.
