Summary
"Hercules Mulligan. I'm a tailor," which is apparently reason enough for him to place both of his hands flat on Alex's chest, and make a show of straightening out Alex's already-perfect ruff….
And now Mulligan's on his knees in front of Alex, pins in his mouth, holding a measuring tape right down the inseam of Alex's thigh.

Summary

... and then Alex and John Laurens become something like friends.

Summary
The 'Hamilton tries to teach Washington French fic' that @herowndeliverance prompted me for, lo these many months ago.
The first argument in favor of the General’s learning French, Alex thinks, is that as matters stand his rare attempts at the language must undoubtedly offend the ears of anyone who knows it. The fate of the fledgling American enterprise hangs by the thread of the chance that no foreign officer has yet challenged the General to an affair of honor for accidentally casting doubt on his ancestry, or on the honor of his wife.

Summary
He surges on to certain destruction, against all fear and all reason, almost as if (his commanders say) he were seeking it out. Perhaps he is. And Alex's lips, swollen from the thoughtless onslaught of his own teeth, are shades darker than usual in the shadowed room, red as carmine, red as blood. Of course John lunges -

Summary
As soon as they get into the room, Alex pushes John up against the wall. John goes willingly, eagerly, thrilled at Alex’s hand forceful on his chest, right over the pounding heart that’s trying its best to break out through his rib cage. When his shoulder blades hit the rough plastered surface he groans, and goes up on his toes, and there’s just space enough for an inch further backwards before Alex is on him again.
Immediately after draw it out of me, Alex and John have sex.
The infidelity tag/warning refers to the existence of Martha Manning (John's wife); the internalized homophobia on John's part, vis-a-vis "a strange cure by the way," is pretty serious, so you might want to be careful of that if it's a thing that bothers you.

Summary
"It's just like you, to pick the one shred of evidence that backs up the argument you want to make, and all because you can't stand to admit that you're wrong."
"Like you'll ever admit that doing what you want to might not be wrong?" Alex is on fire, though also aware that he's not exactly refuting John's point. "As if it were possible to take out all the injustice of the world on your own skin, so that the both of you could simply disappear together? That's not how the world works, Laurens."
[direct sequel to draw it out of me and all the colors turned to white; these three can be read as a triptych separately from the rest of the series.]
