*Mindless rant from guy obsessed with HH and Hamilton incoming*

I was listening to "Hamilton" and couldn't help but apply the songs to HH:

"Your Obedient Servant": Honor vs. Bu(rr)dette
"Helpless:" Eloise + Javier, Shannon + Sonja, Honor + Hamish etc (THE SHIPPING SONG)
"The World was Wide Enough:" Honor just before she's captured by the PRH
"Burn:" Eloise singing to the People's Republic
"Who Lives Who Dies:" Post Yawata Strike song

And for "the Schuyler Sisters" I couldn't help but think it sounded like an anti-State-Sec song from Haven...

"Eloise"
"Esther..."


... "And Shannon!!:P"

As I read through the battle of Spindle (where 70 Solly SDs got their a**es kicked by a handful of Manty cruisers) I started LMAO imagining this song playing as it happened!

"Burn: Eloise's Regret"
(Eloise Prichart singing to a personified People's Republic)

I saved every message you wrote me
from the moment I read them I knew you were mine
He said you were mine,
That Haven was... mine

Do you know what my Javier said
When we saw your first message arrive
He said "Protect our Republic, love
She will do what it takes to survive."

Ransom's words, they flooded my senses
Your victories they left me defenseless
You built a Republic out of paragraphs
you built our future...

I'm rereading the coms that you wrote me
I'm searching and scanning for answers in every line
For some kind of sign
And when you were mine...
The stars seemed to burn...
Burn...

You published the words Ransom wrote you
You told the whole world how you let StateSec into our heads
In clearing your name, you have ruined our lives...
Do you know what my Javier said... when he read what you'd done
He said: "Our Republic is dying, she has lost the will to fight on."

Your People's words, obsessed with your "Legacy"
Victories won, but the costs they are senseless
And you are paranoid in every paragraph... how they perceive you...
You, you YOU!!!

I'm erasing myself from the narrative
Let the men of the PRH wonder how 'Loise reacted when you broke her heart...
You've torn yourself apart
I am watching it burn...
Burn...

The world has no right to my heart
StateSec has no right to my head
They won't get to know what I said
I'm burning the memories
Burning the evidence
That might have redeemed you...

You forfeit your right to my heart
You forfeit your place in our bed
Go fight for your "People" instead
With only the memories of when you were mine...
My Republic will...
Burn!
