Lost in thought after a school trip to see Hamilton, Sunset Shimmer tells the unexpected story of how she ended up in the human world in the first place.
Inspired by the mysterious apparently Equestrian unicorn on Alexander Hamilton's powder horn (actual historical artifact shown in cover art), and by the musical. You don't need to know about Hamilton's life to read this, but you should really listen to the musical anyway, it's great. Assumes Equestria girls takes place on actual Earth, rather than a close analogue. Tagged Tragedy in the Greek sense (we all know how this one ends) and teen/sex for some references. (It is reported that Martha Washington named her feral tom cat after Hamilton, after all.)

Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh. The second I saw the title, I thought of Hamilton. In fact, I'm listening to it right now.

How does an orphan, bastard, son of a whore and a Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot in another dimension by Celestia and Luna and their followers, grow up to be a hero and a scholar?i.imgur.com/9cPRH9l.jpg
I wonder if there's a million things he hasn't done. We better wait and see....
I am so glad to see a new Hamilton based fic here- and the premise seems pretty promising! Take a fave and a track, I can't wait to read the next chapter!
Just don't write like you're running out of time- you don't need that kind of pressure.

The hardest thing about this story is going to continue to be the copyrighted-lyrics ban.
Though on the flip side, alluding to them without using them is kind of a fun challenge.

This story: I imagine being cancelled it feels more like a memory. Is this where it get me, on 3 chapters many more ahead of me? I see it coming do I plead, or take my leave, or let it be. There is no beat no melody.
Me: Please continue this story
