* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The author lists out different ideas they had for this story in [[https://archiveofourown.org/comments/47081399 this comment thread]].
** Magic could have existed, and Seers’ “spot” in magic would have been less defined than other magics. Because of that, Seers would need to pass tests and be officially confirmed before being granted the title of Seer. This is where the idea of passing tests and being officially confirmed before being deemed a Seer came from.
** Seers could have always been women. This idea could have gone one of two ways: because Seers were always women…
*** it’s strange for the male Aaron Burr to be a seer.
*** a trans Alexander Hamilton tries to hide his Seer status despite desperately wanting to use his powers to help with the Revolutionary War, because admitting to being a Seer would reveal he was assigned female at birth which might get him kicked out of the army.
** Both Hamilton and Burr would have been Seers, with Hamilton’s powers manifesting as a gut feeling about things that will succeed. Hamilton’s abilities focus on hope and life, Burr’s on death.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** [[https://archiveofourown.org/comments/69028860 This]] comment thread shows there could have been a scene or ficlet where Aaron shakes Gouverneur[[note]]”Gouverneur” is his given name[[/note]] Morris’ hand and sees that he dies from a urinary tract infection from putting a whalebone from his wife’s corset up his urethra. 2020 has ended and there is still no ficlet or scene with that, so it’s likely What Could Have Been unless it’s included in later chapters when the hiatus is over.
