headcanon for modern au: after a huge fight, one of those fights where you don't even remember what you're fighting about, aaron and alex aren't on speaking terms. Two days after that, Aaron gets to his office and finds a flat of jelly doughnuts on his desk as an apology present.
@Anonymousoh my god ;u;
aaron finds this funny. alex doesn’t.

IT’S SO CUTE
LISTEN TO THE SONG “BROKEN CROWN” BY MUMFORD & SONS RIGHT NOW. I swear to god, every single song written by them is about Burr and Hamilton in some capacity. But this song is particular is absolutely perfect. I’ve italicized the most poignant lyrics.

Touch my mouth and hold my tongue
I’ll never be your chosen one
I’ll be home, safe and tucked away
You can’t tempt me if I don’t see the day
The pull on my flesh was just too strong
It stifled the choice and the air in my lungs
Better not to breathe than to breathe a lie
‘Cause when I open my body I breathe a lie
I will not speak of your sin
There was a way out for him
The mirror shows not
Your values are all shot
But oh, my heart was flawed
I knew my weakness
So hold my hand
Consign me not to darkness
So crawl on my belly ‘til the sun goes down
I’ll never wear your broken crown
I took the road and I fucked it all away
Now in this twilight how dare you speak of grace
So crawl on my belly ‘til the sun goes down
I’ll never wear your broken crown
I can take the road and I can fuck it all away
But in this twilight our choices seal our fate

“
The sun in crepe has muffled up his fire.
Moon of my life! Half shade yourself like him.
Slumber or smoke. Be silent and be dim,
And in the gulf of boredom plunge entire;
I love you thus! However, if you like,
Like some bright star from its eclipse emerging,
To flaunt with Folly where the crowds are surging —
Flash, lovely dagger, from your sheath and strike!
Light up your eyes from chandeliers of glass!
Light up the lustful looks of louts that pass!
Morbid or petulant, I thrill before you.
Be what you will, black night or crimson dawn;
No fibre of my body tautly-drawn,
But cries: “Beloved demon, I adore you!”
Charles Baudelaire, The Possessed
“
Free man, you’ll always love the sea — for this,
That it’s a mirror, where you see your soul
In its eternal waves that chafe and roll;
Nor is your soul less bitter an abyss.
in your reflected image there to merge,
You love to dive, its eyes and limbs to match.
Sometimes your heart forgets its own, to catch
The rhythm of that wild and tameless dirge.
The two of you are shadowy, deep, and wide.
Man! None has ever plummeted your floor —
Sea! None has ever known what wealth you store —
Both are so jealous of the things you hide!
Yet age on age is ended, or begins,
While you without remorse or pity fight.
So much in death and carnage you delight,
Eternal wrestlers! Unrelenting twins!
Charles Baudelaire, Man and the Sea
i remember seeing this and then my brother said something about what if john adams was forced to take this train to work every day and then I lost it
“
To lift a weight so heavy,
Would take your courage, Sisyphus!
Although one’s heart is in the work,
Art is long and Time is short.
Far from famous sepulchers
Toward a lonely cemetery
My heart, like muffled drums,
Goes beating funeral marches.
Many a jewel lies buried
In darkness and oblivion,
Far, far away from picks and drills;
Many a flower regretfully
Exhales perfume soft as secrets
In a profound solitude.
Le Guignon (Evil Fate), Charles Baudelaire
ask and u shall receive
jfc look at them aren’t they sexy together
aaron buys matching gun mugs for him and alex
alex isn’t amused

aaron and alexander see this and laugh for 8000 hours
‘it is metaphorical’
aaaaaaaaaaaargh oh man that sucks :( Basically this funny scene popped into my head where Alex listens to Ride of the Valkyries by Wagner every morning on the way to work. Aaron always goes on about how ridiculous and over the top it is but he secretly enjoys it.
@milvertonsALISIA IM FUCKING PEEING
