To the Present (Hamilton reacts+ xreader)

Who lives, who dies, who tells your story.

[:Washington:]
Let me tell you what I wish I'd known
When I was young and dreamed of glory
You have no control:

[Washington and Company:]
Who lives
Who dies
Who tells your story?

[Burr:]
President Jefferson:

[Jefferson:]
I'll give him this: his financial system is a work of genius
I couldn't undo it if I tried
And I tried}

Chuckles and laughter admitted through the crowd

Alexander and Thomas gave each other faintest of smiles

[Washington and Company:]
Who lives
Who dies
Who tells your story?

[Burr:]
President Madison:}

Thomas laced his hand with James's

[Madison:]
He took our country from bankruptcy to prosperity
I hate to admit it, but he doesn't get enough credit for all the credit he gave us}

Alexander smiled at James

[Washington and Company:]
Who lives
Who dies
Who tells your story?

[Angelica:]
Every other founding father's story gets told
Every other founding father gets to grow old

[Burr:]
But when you're gone, who remembers your name?
Who keeps your flame?

[Burr and men (Angelica and women):]
Who tells your story?
(Who tells your story?)
Who tells your story? (Your story?)

[Women:]
Eliza

[Eliza:]
I put myself back in the narrative}

"She was truly one remarkable woman.."

"She really was.."

[Women:]
Eliza

[Eliza:]
I stop wasting time on tears
I live another fifty years
It's not enough}

"Fifty!?"

[Company:]
Eliza

[Eliza:]
I interview every soldier who fought by your side

[Mulligan/Lafayette/Laurens:]
She tells our story}

Though he was jealous of her, John thanked Eliza for letting people know about his dreams

Lafayette and Hercules just smiled

[Eliza:]
I try to make sense of your thousands of pages of writings
You really do write like you're running out of

[Eliza and Company:]
Time

[Eliza:]
I rely on

[Eliza and Angelica:]
Angelica

[Eliza:]
While she's alive

[Eliza and Angelica:]
We tell your story

[Eliza:]
She is buried in Trinity Church

[Eliza and Angelica:]
Near you

[Eliza:]
When I needed her most, she was right on

[Eliza and Company:]
Time

[Eliza:]
And I'm still not through
I ask myself, "What would you do if you had more?"

[Eliza and Company:]
Time}

"I would've spent it with you and the kids...finally taking a break...just for you Betsy.." Alex smiled and hiccuped

[Eliza:]
The Lord, in his kindness
He gives me what you always wanted
He gives me more

[Eliza and Company:]
Time

[Eliza:]
I raise funds in D.C. for the Washington Monument

[Washington:]
She tells my story}

Washington looked over at Y/n

"It's a real thing"

[Eliza:]
I speak out against slavery}

John smiled

{You could have done so much more if you only had

[Eliza and Company:]
Time

[Eliza:]
And when my time is up, have I done enough?}

"You've done more than enough Betsy.."

[Eliza and Company:]
Will they tell our story?}

Y/n grinned "they tell your story"

[Eliza:]
Oh. Can I show you what I'm proudest of?}

"Yes Betsy.."

[Company:]
The orphanage

[Eliza:]
I established the first private orphanage in New York City

[Company:]
The orphanage

[Eliza:]
I help to raise hundreds of children
I get to see them growing up}

Alexander smiled gently to himself "that's amazing Betsy.."

[Company:]
The orphanage

[Eliza:]
In their eyes I see you, Alexander
I see you every

[Eliza and Company:]
Time

[Eliza:]
And when my time is up
Have I done enough?

[Eliza and Company:]
Will they tell my story?

[Eliza:]
Oh, I can't wait to see you again
It's only a matter of

[Eliza and Company:]
Time

[Company:]
Will they tell your story?
(Time...)
Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?
(Time...)
Will they tell your story?
(Time...)
Who lives, who dies
[Full Company:]
Who tells your story?}

Y/n didn't want to admit it but this was the end, the end of her story, the end of her journey with men she had a amazing time with, a man she fell in love with, y/n perked up at the sound of a microphone

"We wanted to give you a little bit of cut content" Lin said and winked at her

Her heart exploded in excitement

Maybe she'd stay with them

Just a moment longer
