Lost in thought after a school trip to see Hamilton, Sunset Shimmer tells the unexpected story of how she ended up in the human world in the first place.

Inspired by the mysterious apparently Equestrian unicorn on Alexander Hamilton's powder horn (actual historical artifact shown in cover art), and by the musical. You don't need to know about Hamilton's life to read this, but you should really listen to the musical anyway, it's great. Assumes Equestria girls takes place on actual Earth, rather than a close analogue. Tagged Tragedy in the Greek sense (we all know how this one ends) and teen/sex for some references. (It is reported that Martha Washington named her feral tom cat after Hamilton, after all.)
