The Song Of Alexander is an ongoing (began in late 2016) Historical Fiction Web Serial Novel by tumblr user ciceroprofacto, inspired by The Song Of Achilles in style and title. It is told from the perspective of John Laurens from the time he joined the American Revolution, focusing on the events of the war and Laurens' budding romance with Alexander Hamiltonnote their connection being more than just friendship is a commonly accepted concept among American Revolution history buffs such as the story's author, based upon the nature of the letters between them. Don't mistake this story for a Hamilton fanfic; while a lot of this story's fans probably found out about Laurens' existence through that musical, they're two separate works of historical fiction.

Chapter 4 ends with Washington telling Laurens that Hamilton has been reported dead. Cue Heroic B.S.O.D. for Laurens, but just as it's being explained how Hamilton allegedly died...

Foregone Conclusion: Since it's historical fiction, quite a lot falls under this.

Gayngst: Self-hate issues over being attracted to men (and to Hamilton specifically) feature fairly prominently in Laurens' extensive collection of self-hate issues.

Reports of My Death Were Greatly Exaggerated
 The Song Of Alexander / int_5501256b
comment
Reports of My Death Were Greatly Exaggerated: Hamilton has had this happen to him more than once Chapter 4 ends with Washington telling Laurens that Hamilton has been reported dead. Cue Heroic B.S.O.D. for Laurens, but just as it's being explained how Hamilton allegedly died... There's another scare in Chapter 11 when Hamilton is away from camp and ill with a fever; it worsens and a letter arrives saying he's "confident he shall not survive long". Turns out that he recovered, but for weeks after the initial concerning letter there's no news about his condition, meaning he's basically assumed dead.

The First Cut Is the Deepest: One of the reasons Laurens is terrified to become sexually involved with Hamilton is remaining emotional baggage from his failed relationship with Francis Kinloch.

War Is Hell: The battle scenes don't skimp on grisly details, and there's an atmosphere of hopelessness with regard to the war in general even though we as the reader know the revolution will succeed.
