Hear me out!
A non-romantic ship of John Laurens and Angelica Schuyler getting married.
Angelica is Laurens's cover for his homosexuality, and John is the son of Henry Laurens, who was a very rich and respected man.
That way, Angelica marries a rich, well-known man and makes her father happy, and John marries a woman and makes his father happy.
And, because they are officially and legally married to each other, Angelica can voice her opinions publicly since she has even more money and power than when she was "just" a Schuyler sister (I know it didn't really work that way, and that women were ignored and their opinions were dismissed regardless of their stature, but bear with me for the sake of the plot), and John can be going out with men and nobody will know (nobody will out him, since they'll have to out themselves by doing so, and nobody wanted anyone to know they're gay back then), and they'll both be satisfied (pun intended).
Plus, they'll spend their nights sitting in front of the fireplace with blankets talking about Alexander's dreamy eyes.
Somebody please make this happen and tag me in the fanfic!
