Thoughts on Hamilton during Black History Month

I want to start this out with full disclosure, I am not a person of colour and I have never actually seen Hamilton, I've only listened to the soundtrack.

So I will be the first to admit that "Hamilton" is brilliant, but the more I listen to the soundtrack the more problematic I find it becomes. I know that this is going to sound awful, but for all its multi-racial cast, Hamilton succeeds in white-washing history. I say this because of key people who are missing from the story and aspects of the story that are glossed over.

Fanfic writing and new directions

I was bitten by a bunny a few weeks ago. It was the prompt: Your OTP switch bodies for some reason and no one knows why". I decided to play with Ratchet and Smokescreen, told from Ratchet's POV and dealing with Ratchet not being able to deal with the new sensory input. And it's funny but the entire thing has turned into a giant mind screw. I mean, I have lines like:

Ratchet turned to the spy and immediately froze. He was there across from him, Mirage straddling his waist, pressing a hand to his mouth to silence him.

and:

“Your processor’s seizing,” Smokescreen said calmly, somehow managing to modulate Ratchet’s voice in a way that he hadn’t realized was possible.

And I haven't even gotten to any potential sexy scenes which will probably result in Ratchet deciding that he really isn't turned on by the idea of 'facing himself.

It's all around strange and I'm wondering if I wouldn't be better served by writing all of this is the first person - possibly even the first person present tense - to make things a bit more insane.
