#lover!

I'm a big fan of Taylor Swift and while I listened to Lover! I had lots of Adrienne vibes so here there is each song with what it inspires to me

I forgot that you existed (It isn't love, it isn't hate is just indifference) :

Adrienne forgetting about the court and its gossips, living her best life after having worried too much about them.

Cruel Summer (And if I bleed you'd be the last to know):

Summer of 1789, when Adrienne and Gil kinda reconciliate but she has the fear of losing him due to the revolution and doesn't want to be a burden for him, so she keeps everything for herself.

Lover ( Can I go where you go? Can we always be this close? ):

Adrienne talking to Gilbert I'm Chavaniac in 1791, asking him to stay with her forever that way (far from everyone, loving her)

The man ( I'd be a fearless leader. I'd be an alpha type. ):

Wouldn't Adrienne be more remembered in history if she was a man? Wouldn't her sacrifices be seen as something incredibly brave and courageous everywhere?

The archer ( Who could ever leave me darlin'? But, who could stay? ):

How Adrienne is viewed in the court (naive, puritan, too good for Gil) Vs How she sees herself (not worthy of him, doubtful, full of contradictions)

I think he knows ( I want you. Bless my soul. I ain't got to tell him I think he knows ):

Around 1782, when Gil comes back from America and Adrienne is so in love with him, fainting everywhere and discovering her new feelings for him, now that she is already an adult and not a child.

Miss Americana and the heartbreak prince ( Voted most likely to run away with you ):

A trip around Adrienne and Gil's relationship during the 1780's : Gilbert's return to France ( I counted days, I counted miles, to see you there ) , the gossip at court ( They whisper in the hallway she is a bad, bad girl ) , their American friends ( American stories, burning before me ) and the start of the revolution (Darling I'm scared /And the storm is coming, babe)

Paper Rings ( Kiss me once, cause you know I've had a long night; Kiss you twice cause is gonna be alright; Three times cause I've waited my whole life ):

Modern University AU where Adrienne studies Economy and Gil, Politics and they are a couple !

Cornelia Street ( That's the kind of heartbreak time could never mend, I'd never walk Cornelia Street again ):

An old Gilbert walks next to their old house (L'Hôtel de Lafayette) accidentally and gets flooded by thousands of memories. He remembers when he told her that she was gonna buy it, when they had their kids and when they abandoned the house. And he also remembers Adrienne passing away.

Death by a thousand cuts ( Chandelier still flickering here, cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not ):

Adrienne's feeling whenever she sees Gil with Adelaïde, refusing to fall out of love with him but still hurt.

London Boy ( I saw the dimples, then I heard the accent. They say home is where the heart is, but that's not where mine lives ):

What if instead London Boy is an Auvernia Boy and Adrienne sings about the places he took her in Chavaniac and how lost he looked the first time he arrived in Paris.

Soon You'll Get Better ( Each night I pray to you, Desperate people find faith. Soon you'll get better, cause you have to ):

Gilbert the first time Adrienne was sick until the last time, before her death, praying she would be okay.

False God ( Religion's in your lips even if it's a false God, we'd still worship. We might just get away with it. The altar is my hips. Even if it is a false God. We'd still worship this love ):

Adrienne tries to convince herself that Gil loves her just before they really reconciliate, thinking that him wanting to be with her physically was enough.

You need to calm down ( Sunshine on the street at the parade, but you would rather be in the dark ages )

Modern AU where Adrienne is the supporting mom friend who drives John Laurens to pride and goes to feminists demonstrations.

Afterglow ( I don't wanna do this to you. I don't wanna lose this with you. I need to say, hey it's all me, just don't go. Meet me in the afterglow )

Gil feeling guilty about how he cheats on Adrienne and begging her to stay with him and forgive him.

Me! ( And then we had a fight out in the rain, you ran after me and called my name ):

Adrienne and Gil knowing that, in the end, everything has been worth it because they are in love with each other.

It's nice to have a friend ( Church bell rings, carry me home, rice on the ground ):

Anastasie (their eldest daughter) meeting and the falling in love with Charles La Tour-Maubourg after their stance on prison.

Daylight ( I don't wanna look at anything else now that I saw you. I don't wanna thought of anything now that I've thought of you ):

Gil realizing that he is utterly in love with Adrienne (since late 1780's)
