Some of these might turn into longer ficbits later, because that's what I had them in mind for, but whatever. >>
1. Angst Usually goodbye parties are outright celebrations, full of a quiet undercurrent of don't let the door hit you on the way out, asshole; the mood in the break room is more like a funeral today, until Washington walks in, surveys them all with a raised eyebrow, and asks who died.
2. AU "That's all you need to say; now shut up," Washington demands before Alexander can continue and incriminate himself; in unison, on some unexamined whim, half the night shift, Eliza, and Angelica all suddenly find themselves thanking god that Washington never transferred to Virginia as planned.
3. Crack!fic Plot "My entire staff," Washington says slowly -- "except me," Aaron points out, and ignore the expression that twitches across Washington's face -- "except you... has been turned into kittens?"
4. Crossover The new guy is so tiny even the smallest vest dwarfs him, can't hear anything on one side, and is determined that he knows what he's doing even when he doesn't, but he grins like a firework and ribs back as good as he gets; of course Mulligan slings an arm around his shoulders as they head back for lunch, dragging little Steve Rogers along with him before he has a chance to protest.
5. First Time It takes twenty minutes in his office for Washington to go from no non-personnel in the backroom to just don't let her be here when day managers come in; "Eliza is magic," Laurens whispers to Alexander, who just smiles.
6. Fluff "Morning has riiiiiisen, like the first mooooorning," Mulligan warbles, off-key and sounding drunk despite the fact that Aaron's pretty sure he hasn't been drinking; Laurens laughs, his voices joining Mulligan's, strong and clear. Usually hymns bring up thoughts too heavy for after work, but Mulligan grins and tugs Aaron's arm and demands he joins in, and this once, it feels good to sing to the rising sun, to stand with these men he barely understands, to enjoy the feelings of freedom as they stroll across the parking lot.
7. Humor "A duel," Aaron repeats, completely deadpan; Alexander, who of course would be one of .those assholes who come in at 3 am in pajamas on his day off, nods with an eagerness that Aaron can only attribute to alcohol, plucking a second foam sword off the shelf and tossing it down the aisle.
8. Hurt/Comfort "Her husband's a manager at Target," Aaron says, dark and resigned; Alexander, waiting for something so much more serious after his quiet you want to know the best part? laughs, but this time Aaron's laughing with him, at least.
9. Smut "I'm still mad," Eliza says softly against Alexander's jaw; he starts to pull away, and she holds tighter.
10. UST "She's his sister," Madison protests in an undertone; Lafayette waves that away with, "In law, and that doesn't stop them from the eye-fucking."
Walmart!Hamilton because fuck it.
