Meet The Guardians Of The Galaxy

Summary: The Avengers meet the Guardians of the Galaxy for the first time.

Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Avenger!Female Reader

Warnings: Minimal use of Y/N. Language. A lot of fluff. My poor attempts at being funny.

Word Count: 1.4K

A/N: I'm not sure what this is, but I was just thinking how it might go if the Avengers met the Guardians of the Galaxy. It started with the reader cooing at Groot and Bucky being jealous and this is what came out, lol, hope you like it! Needless to say, this doesn't follow the MCU timeline, like basically all of my other stories. Don't ask me how Thor knows the Guardians, the bitch just do. I also just needed Bucky fluff, like always, and I'm really happy how it turned out! Like always I appreciate asks and messages and am always up for it if you have any ideas.

Masterlist

By this point you’re very aware that there’s life on other planets, that the universe is a place much bigger than you ever imagined. Working with the Avengers allows you to see so many things that you never thought could possibly even exist.

Super soldiers, superheroes, enhanced individuals, even Thor himself is a demi-god from literally a different planet.

This particular demi-god is the reason why today you and the rest of the team find yourselves in the common room of the Avengers Compound, a spaceship casually parked in your yard.

They call themselves the Guardians of the Galaxy: Peter Quill, Gamora, Rocket, Nebula, Drax and Mantis, literal aliens currently bickering amongst themselves because they came to earth to visit Thor the wrong day, resulting in Thor not being home for their arrival.

"Is that a plushie?" you ask, a little confused, pointing at a little teddy bear-like thing on Quill’s shoulder and effectively ending their search for who is at fault for their mistake.

He looks even more confused than you and asks "What the hell is a plushie? This is Groot, he’s a Flora Colossi."

You decide, for my own peace of mind, to ignore the latin and instead focus on the cute little thing on his shoulder who is now moving and looking at you weirdly.

"I am Groot." he says in the cutest voice ever.

"Oh my god, you're just adorable!" You say, reaching your finger out for him to hold, freaking out at his cuteness.

"I remember when you used to talk to me like that…" you hear Bucky mumble behind you, which makes you laugh and, with your attention still completely on Groot, you tell him "God, you really are a needy bitch, Barnes." at which everybody laughs.

"Yeah? And you’re just a bi-"

"Hey!" you basically yell, interrupting him and startling Groot.

"I’m kidding!" he quickly says, putting up his hands in defeat. With one last glare at Bucky, your attention turns back to Groot.

"I am Groot!" he says again.

"I know honey, you said that." you tell him.

"I am Groot." he says, yet again, at which Sam answers "Yeah, you’re Groot, got it."

Groot says "I am Groot." again and, before Sam can say something that you're sure is gonna be very rude, you turn to the Guardians and ask "Why does he keep saying that?"

Rocket is the one to answer "Well, he don't know talking good like me and you. So his vocabulistics is limited to I and am and Groot. Exclusively in that order."

His answer leaves you all a little dumbfounded but again, for your own sanity, you all seem to decide to let it go.

Instead Bruce asks "So how do you understand him?"

"We speak Groot." Nebula says like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"How can you speak ‘Groot’ if he says literally the same three words, in the exact same order, in the same way every time?" Tony asks, starting to get a little frustrated, probably because the genius can’t do something that seems to come really easy to a bunch of space idiots.

"We manage." Quill simply says.

At this point Groot reaches his little hands towards you, signaling that he wants to be picked up, so, before Tony can make any sarcastic comment, you look at Quill and ask, excitement clear on your face "Can I?" while pointing at an awaiting Groot.

"Sure." He says, and you very carefully pick him up and put him on your shoulder.

"Be careful not to move too fast, he’ll hold onto your hair for dear life." Gamora warns you.

"Noted." you say giggling a little when Groot sticks his tongue out to Gamora, then she does the same to him, making everyone else laugh too.

"Buck, look how cute he is." you coo at Groot who's playing with your finger.

"’s not that cute…" he says quietly but you hear him, and apparently so does Groot because he says "I am Groot." in a very annoyed tone that prompts a chorus of whoas and protests from the guardians.

"The acorns on you, kid!" Quill says, and everybody just knows he said some really bad words to Bucky.

"Who even taught you that word?!" Rocket sounds like an exasperated parent.

"I am Groot."

"What do you mean, Drax taught you?! WHY WOULD YOU TEACH HIM THAT?"

"The small tree asked." Drax says unbothered.

"Just because he asks doesn't mean you have to teach him dirty words!"

"How was I supposed to know that?"

"It's really common sense, Drax." Gamora interjects, calmer than Rocket.

"I am Groot."

"See, even Groot knows you don’t have common sense, Drax, that’s why he asked you." Quill says.

"I am Groot."

"I am not stupid, tree!" Drax glares at Groot.

"See, he’s not cute. He’s a disrespectful little shit!" Bucky says, also glaring at poor Groot.

"I am Groot." the guardians snicker, leaving the rest of you confused.

"What? What did he say?" you're too curious not to ask as Groot is now glaring back at Bucky.

"He said he doesn’t understand how a sweet person like you is with someone like him." Nebula translates, earning some gasps and snickers from everyone else too.

You look at Bucky trying hard not to laugh and he looks like he's about 5 seconds away from murdering Groot.

He takes a step towards you but Groot, still on your shoulder, makes the cutest little growl and starts flinging one of his arms around in Bucky’s direction, the other one holding to your hair so as to not fall.

"Oh, he’s ready to fight a bitch." you say unable to hold in your laughter any longer and the others follow you.

"What?" you turn around and Drax is giving you a confused look.

"What?" you say, calming down from your laughter.

"I do not understand. He does not resemble a female dog." he looks at Bucky and then back at you.

"He- I don- What?" you’re as confused as you’ve ever been, everybody else’s faces mirroring your own.

"His people are completely literal, he doesn’t understand metaphors." Rocket explains.

"Oh… fun." Tony says, still a little confused.

"Is it though?" you hear Gamora mumble, before Mantis starts giggling.

"It is!" she says with the joy of a kid on christmas morning.

"It’s really not." Nebula says casually, and from that the Guardians start bickering amongst each other.

You look at Groot who’s still on the warpath with Bucky and then at Rocket, the only one not saying anything.

He meets your eyes and simply says. "This is what I gotta live with."

"Oh, poor little racoon." you coo at him while laughing and that seems to stop the bickering.

"Hey, I am no racoon!" Rocket tells you defensively.

"I am Groot." Rocket groans and Quill snickers.

"Groot’s right, he’s a trash panda." he says knowing the people of earth will know why that’s funny.

Some of the Avengers laugh, but you gasp trying to hide your amusement for Rocket’s sake.

"You know, you might be right, Buck. He’s not that cute and innocent after all." you turn to your boyfriend, who gives you a slight pout.

"I’m cuter than him, right"- he asks you with those puppy eyes he knows make you melt.

"Aww, of course you are, baby." you give him a kiss on the cheek, almost forgetting about Groot on your shoulder until he talks again.

"I am Groot." the Guardians “aww” and coo at him but before you can ask, Mantis explains. "He says he understands now why you’re together."

"He says he can see how much you two love each other." Gamora finishes.

You smile at Groot and he smiles back before making the cutest yawn, looking at Bucky and doing grabby hands at him.

Bucky looks at you and you take his hand and guide it towards where Groot is, he’s uncertain but when Groot climbs on his hand Bucky looks almost like a little kid seeing a butterfly up close for the first time.

He brings Groot against his chest and the little tree gets comfortable and falls asleep almost immediately, while everyone else in the room coos at the two.

"This might be the cutest thing I’ve ever seen." you whisper, not wanting to wake up Groot, and Bucky looks up at you and flashes a smile bright enough to light up the whole of New York.

"I guess he is kind of cute." he says looking back down at Groot’s sleeping form, leaving everyone else snickering as quietly as they can, while he imagines how it would be to be like this one day with a baby that’s his and yours, and you can’t help but think the same thing.

Home || Peter Quill

Summary: Peter goes home

Warnings: Uhh none, I think?

AN) this is a rewrite of something I did after Endgame! if you enjoy, please let me know! Also yes, there’s a reference to his bisexuality because fuck it, we need bi rep and so many people forget Peter Jason Quill is bisexual.

Peter looked down at the stack of letters he had been writing for (Y/N). He felt nervous, guilty even for returning after all these years. He hadn’t purposely left, he was abducted. He isn’t even sure if she remembers him. Was it possible?

To (Y/N) August 1989

The oldest letter in the stack, written the year after he was taken. It explained what his life was like now. Telling her about his first year in space. Asking her what it was like in 4th grade. Apologizing for being gone. Promising to see her as soon as he could. An ‘I love you always’ sloppily written at the bottom as he rushed to finish it.

To (Y/N) October 1990

10 year old Peter wished her a happy halloween, asking her what’s popular on Earth. The ramblings of a child excited about being gifted his very own spaceship. He made it a point to tell her it was named after Alyssa Milano. He told her all about Yondu and the ravagers.

He wrote to her at least once a year. His handwriting slowly improved as he aged. He smiled down at the aged stacks of paper, thinking back fondly to his childhood. Peter shuffled through the letters, quickly glancing at the dates on each of them.

To (Y/N) May 2006

To (Y/N) July 2012

To (Y/N) August 2014

To (Y/N) November 2014

He paused on that one. November 2014. He wrote about his relationship with Gamora. He wrote about how he met his biological father, who just happened to be a planet. He wrote about the death of said father, and the death of the father that actually raised him. Yondu.

To (Y/N) April 2023

The most recent one. He’d written it after they’d all returned. He wrote about the death of Gamora. He wrote about battling Thanos on Titan. He wrote about being back on Earth, about the massive battle in New York. He wrote about Tony Stark’s private funeral. He wrote about wanting to see her.

Peter organized the letters back in the original order. He’d asked Pepper for help, giving her what information he had on his childhood friend in hopes of tracking her down. Pepper had come through with plenty of information. (Y/N) actually lived in New York. She worked from home in IT. She was single. She had survived the blip. He was just down the street from her apartment, nerves taking over as he looked in the direction of her home. He took a deep breath, and continued down the street. Peter chewed on his lip as he knocked on her door. A faint ‘Just a minute!’ could be heard from the otherside, and at that moment, it took everything in him not to run away.

The door opened. “Hi, can I help you?” She spoke, his blood running cold and his throat felt tight.

“You’re totally not going to believe this, but it’s me, (Y/N).” Peter rushed, causing her to raise her eyebrow. “I’m back. I-I’m Peter. Peter Quill from Missouri.”

“This isn’t funny. I don’t know how you know about my connection to him-” She started, but Peter was quick to cut her off.

“When you were in kindergarten, you got in trouble for having a pocket of worms. I got in trouble with you because I ate one of them in class. Nastiest taste in the world, but it amused you.” He chuckled, running his fingers over the envelopes. “If that didn’t convince you, I remember the huge crush you had on Mark Hamill after we watched Star Wars. I bullied you for ages about it.”

“Peter..” She whispered, hand coming to cover her mouth. Tears welled up in her eyes as she stared at him. “It’s been 35 years, where the fuck have you been?”

Peter stuck the worn pile of envelopes out in front of him. “Funny enough, these probably explain it better than I could. I wrote to you frequently. I’m gonna be completely honest, I wasn't even sure if I was ever coming back. I was convinced I was wasting time, but y’know all the funky shit that happened kinda forced me back.”

(Y/N) took them and flicked through the pile. “I never stopped looking for you. When they said you disappeared, I went looking everywhere we’d gone. I thought you’d just run away, but rumors began that maybe you’d died and I just.. I knew you weren’t dead.” Her eyes met his face and she smiled. “I’ve missed you, dumbass.”

Peter stepped forward, wrapping his arms tightly around her as they stood there in an embrace. “I’m sorry for leaving, and again, you won’t believe this but I’ve got a pretty insane reputation in space.”

The woman pulled away and raised her eyebrow at him. “What? Peter.. You mean outer space right? Like up there?” She asked him, pointing up at the sky. He nodded, a childish grin plastered on his face.

“Ask me about my reputation.”

“I’m afraid to know.” She sighed.

“C’mon.” He cooed, swaying them slightly. “You know you’re curious.”

“What’s your reputation, Peter?”

He looked down at her with his signature smirk. “On Terra, I’m just little old Peter Quill. A boring, apparently presumed dead, nobody. In space, I’m the legendary outlaw turned hero of the galaxy known as Star-Lord, lover to all.” He winked, making (Y/N) roll her eyes.

“Lover to all, huh? How many alien STDs do you have?” She laughed as he groaned. “Do aliens have STDs?”

“I don’t have any that I know of, and I’m assuming they do. I don’t just go around asking aliens if they do or not!” He replied, as his childhood friend doubled over with laughter. “I missed hearing you laugh.”

“I missed you, Peter. It’s nice to have you back, even if it’s temporary.” She huffed, looking up at him. “I don’t know how long you’re staying, if you are, but would you like to have dinner with me? I want a chance to properly catch up with you.”

“Are you asking me on a date?”

“Never in a million years, space boy.” She spoke, stepping aside and motioning him in. “C’mon, I make a mean ass pot of chili and I’m assuming you haven’t had any in ages.”

Peter happily stepped inside, shrugging off his coat and tossing in on the closest chair. He looked around her apartment, the walls covered with photos from her life and movie posters he didn’t recognize. A photo of him and her on Halloween hung beside a framed drawing he’d made for her back before he was abducted.

“Hey, (YN), what the hell is Revenge of the Sith? And why do you have a big ass poster of it?”

TOM WLASCHIHA IM FRAGEBOGEN:„Keine Rituale, keine schwarzen Katzen“

link https://www.faz.net/aktuell/stil/trends-nischen/tom-wlaschiha-schokolade-dunkle-schokolade-19024851.html

TOM WLASCHIHA IM FRAGEBOGEN:„Keine Rituale, keine schwarzen Katzen“

Tom Wlaschihas Name dürfte vielen „Game of Thrones“-Fans ein Begriff sein.

VON JOHANNA CHRISTNER, BERLIN 31.07.2023-17:24

Tom Wlaschiha ist seit einer Hauptrolle in „Game of Thrones“ weltweit bekannt. Im Stil-Fragebogen verrät er, was er immer im Kühlschrank hat und was ihn an Postkarten nervt.

Nach Nebenrollen in internationalen Filmen wie „Operation Walküre – das Stauffenberg Attentat“ ist das Gesicht von Tom Wlaschiha den meisten inzwischen wohl aus der amerikanischen Fantasy-Serie „Game of Thrones“ bekannt, in der er über mehrere Staffeln hinweg als Jagen H'ghar einen der Hauptcharaktere verkörperte. Der Fünfzigjährige war zudem in Großproduktionen wie „Stranger Things“ und „Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan“ zu sehen. Das Schauspielhandwerk erlernte der gebürtige Sachse, der in einer Kleinstadt nahe Dresden aufwuchs, an der Hochschule für Musik und Theater „Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy“ in Leipzig – und kann sich bis heute auch für deutsche Produktionen wie den „Tatort“ begeistern. Für die Podcast-Serie „Marvel's Wastelanders: Star-Lord“, erschienen Ende Juni auf Audible.de, darf es auch wieder deutsch sein: Zehn Episoden lang leiht Wlaschiha darin dem Marvel-Helden Peter Quill seine Stimme.

Was essen Sie zum Frühstück?

Einen Kaffee und eine Zigarette. Manchmal noch ein Müsli hinterher.

Wo kaufen Sie Ihre Kleidung ein?

Ich kaufe nur sehr selten Kleidung ein. Und wenn, dann komme ich zufällig an irgendeinem Laden vorbei, gehe mit einer halben Stunde Zeit rein, und mir gefällt etwas. Das ist wirklich völlig ohne System. In den vergangenen Jahren habe ich hauptsächlich historische und Fantasy-Filme gedreht, da war nicht viel Alltagstaugliches dabei, was ich von einem Dreh hätte mitnehmen können. Obwohl das in Kreuzberg, wo ich wohne, wahrscheinlich gar nicht so auffallen würde, wenn ich das anhätte.

Was ist das älteste Kleidungsstück in Ihrem Schrank?

Ich habe T-Shirts aus den Neunzigern, die für mich damals oversized waren und mir heute passen. Die Shirts sind teilweise einfarbig, teilweise mit Prints. Das allerälteste Shirt aus dieser Sammlung ist ein orangefarbenes Ripp-T-Shirt aus dem Fundus der Schauspielschule in Leipzig von 1992 – das ist auch schon an mehreren Stellen geflickt. Ich habe es schon lange nicht mehr angehabt, aber es hat einen sentimentalen Wert für mich.

Wann haben Sie zuletzt handschriftlich einen Brief verfasst?

Früher habe ich wahnsinnig viele Briefe geschrieben, aber den letzten bestimmt vor zehn Jahren. Vor einigen Urlauben habe ich wieder angefangen, Postkarten zu schreiben. Ich finde diese analoge Schneckenpost ganz cool. Häufig habe ich dann aber das Problem, dass ich Briefmarken kaufen will, die aber nicht bekomme und die Postkarten erst von zu Hause aus verschicken muss. Meine letzte Postkarte kam dann mit einer deutschen Briefmarke. Das ist dann nicht ganz so cool.

Welches Buch hat Sie im Leben am meisten beeindruckt?

Da gab es verschiedene Bücher in verschiedenen Lebensphasen. Als Kind und Jugendlicher habe ich sehr viel Karl May gelesen, in späteren Zeiten fand ich Milan Kundera toll. Mein jetziger deutscher Lieblingsschriftsteller ist Christian Kracht. „Die Toten“ und „Eurotrash“ mochte ich zum Beispiel sehr. Kracht schafft es über eine Sprachreduktion, dass jedes seiner Worte notwendig ist. Und obwohl es Prosa ist, ist da diese wunderschöne Poesie in seiner Sprache – das finde ich toll.

Wie informieren Sie sich über das Weltgeschehen?

Ich bin ein News-Junkie. Ich habe mehrere Zeitungen abonniert und lese die, hauptsächlich auf dem Handy.

Was ist Ihr bestes Smalltalk-Thema?

Ich hasse Smalltalk, halte ihn aber notgedrungen oft. Ich kann zum Beispiel gut über die Absurditäten der Berliner Politik reden.

Bei welchem Film haben Sie zuletzt geweint?

Bei meinen, wenn sie nicht gut waren.

Sind Sie abergläubisch?

Nein, überhaupt nicht. Keine Rituale, keine schwarzen Katzen, die von links nach rechts laufen. Ich laufe auch gerne mal absichtlich unter einer Leiter durch.

Worüber können Sie lachen?

Über ganz viel, über mich zum Beispiel. Ich glaube, ich bin manchmal viel zu albern für mein Alter.

Ihr Lieblingsvorname?

Aktuell wohl Peter und Rocket – die Protagonisten der Podcast-Serie „Marvel's Wastelanders: Star-Lord“, in der ich Peter Quill die Stimme leihe.

Bekannt als Auftragsmörder Jaqen H'ghar aus „Game Of Trones“: Tom Wlaschiha 2015 bei der Eröffnung einer Ausstellung zur Serie

Machen Sie eine Mittagspause?

Ich mache keine Mittagspause, aber was ich echt gerne mag, ist so eine kleine Siesta tagsüber. Es gibt nichts Besseres, als tagsüber zu schlafen.

In welchem Land würden Sie gerne leben?

Ich bin ganz glücklich in Deutschland, habe aber ansonsten eine große Affinität zu Italien. Weil ich das italienische Lebensgefühl sehr mag, die Leichtigkeit, die Italianità. Das Gefühl für Schönheit und Leichtigkeit in Kombination mit der Geschichte. Ich fühle mich in Italien immer sehr wohl.

Was fehlt nie in Ihrem Kühlschrank?

Schokolade! Dunkle Schokolade.

Fühlen Sie sich mit oder ohne Auto freier?

Mit. Ich fahre sehr gerne Auto. Und ich habe ein durchaus erotisches Verhältnis zu meinem Auto.

Was ist Ihr größtes Talent?

Ich bin sehr flexibel und kann mich gut auf Menschen und Situationen einlassen.

Was tun Sie, obwohl es unvernünftig ist?

Kaffee und Zigarette vor dem Müsli.

Welcher historischen Person würden Sie gerne begegnen?

Karl Marx. Weil ich denke, dass er einer der missverstandensten Philosophen ist. Und ich auch denke, dass die Theorie, die er ursprünglich entwickelt hat, mit der Praxis, die ihm zugeschrieben wird, nichts zu tun hat.

Tragen Sie Schmuck? Und eine Uhr ?

Schmuck nur selten. Ich habe ein paar Armbänder, aber ich mag es eigentlich nicht, viel an den Armen zu tragen. Meine Uhr trage ich oft, nur nicht im Fitnessstudio.

Haben Sie einen Lieblingsduft?

Ja, Oud Minérale von Tom Ford, aber das Parfum wird nicht mehr verkauft. Ich habe mir im vergangenen Jahr über dubiose Online-Kanäle noch etwas davon gesichert. Was ich mache, wenn mein Vorrat leer ist, weiß ich noch nicht.

Was war Ihr schönstes Ferienerlebnis?

Da gab es viele. Eines meiner schönsten Ferienerlebnisse war zu Schauspielschul-Zeiten, da sind wir mit Freunden nach Sardinien getrampt. Drei Wochen waren wir dort– und haben nichts gesehen außer dem Strand.

Auf welchem Konzert waren Sie zuletzt?

Das war im Dezember, ein Klassik-Konzert in Barcelona. Bei Ivo Pogorelich, einem tollen kroatischen Pianisten.

Was fehlt Ihnen zum Glück?

Glück ist ein großes Wort. Aber ich bin ziemlich zufrieden, mir fehlt es an nichts.

Was trinken Sie zum Abendessen?

Oft Wein. Im Sommer weißen und im Winter roten. Ein Weinkenner bin ich nicht, aber ich mag zum Beispiel südafrikanischen Rotwein.

Why do people say Hamilton was bi-polar?

TW: discussion of depression, mental illnesses, manic depression, depressive episodes, etc.

I am not anywhere near a mental health professionalist in any shape or form, this is simply my research provided as to why I am making a theory. So with that being said, we will probably never know for sure what exactly Hamilton may have been suffering with. As trying to diagnose dead men from two hundred years ago is near impossible, especially with 18th century standards of how they dealt with mental health (Which was usually to just not deal with it at all). Hamilton never had a good track record for his mental health. He experienced many traumatic events since he was but a child in the Caribbean, so looking into Hamilton's life, it comes as no surprise when you start to realize he wasn't mentally stable.

Hamilton was born a illegitimate son between his biological parents, James Hamilton and Rachel Faucette. This would already put a chain around his ankle and keep him dragged down by what he was born as, or at least what society saw him as; a nobody with no future. As being a bastard wasn't a kind title to have back then, and it would affect him throughout all of his life by political rivals, and just society itself. He would bury this part of his identity deep within. And his father leaving him, his brother, and mother behind in 1765. And then in 1768, when his mother would die besides him in bed. Soon after in 1769, his cousin, Peter Lytton, whom was caring for him and his brother, committed suicide. As the brothers would soon separate thereafter. In late 1772, a hurricane would tarnish his hometown island, leaving little left as well as hope.

Fast forward a few years and the Revolutionary War has spurred, Alexander Hamilton is aide de camp to General George Washington, stuck behind a desk as his hope for a military career to bless him a known name dwindles as war carries on without him. And then losing his lover and greatest friend from the war, John Laurens. But as time passes on, Hamilton was not a very liked man, and had many political rivals who sought-after the demise of his career. And then in 1802, his eldest son, Philip Hamilton, would fatally die in a duel against George Eacker, that Hamilton blamed himself for and would fall into a deep pit of depression afterwards. Not to mention his eldest daughters, Angelica Hamilton's, degrading mental health in the aftermath of her brother's death. Hamilton's depression would only worsen after the death of Washington.

Depression

Depression plagued Hamilton much throughout his whole life. Many historians have noticed a type of maniac depression to his character. Example, famously known biographer, Ron Chernow, even called Hamilton "prey to depression". As far as I'm aware, only one biographer made the suggestion to Hamilton being bipolar, but many take it as the factual diagnosis for Hamilton's odd behavior patterns. Hamilton fell down rabbit holes of misery and dejection. He would have fits of depressive episodes, usually when something had tempted such emotions. He even once wrote to his lover, and greatest friend, John Laurens, of hating nearly everyone and everything in a fit of a despondency;

“I am chagrined and unhappy but I submit. In short Laurens I am disgusted with every thing in this world but yourself and very few more honest fellows and I have no other wish than as soon as possible to make a brilliant exit. ’Tis a weakness; but I feel I am not fit for this terrestreal Country.”

(source)

We all know Hamilton as the founding father who wrote nonstop, but often Hamilton would go near pitch silent with his quill when he was in one of his depressions. For example, he wrote but only two (1. 2.) sentences in regards to Laurens' death. Which may seem purely insensitive to many, but it is more telling that Hamilton, the writing fanatic, hadn't wrote paragraphs of his sentiments. Hamilton would usually lock himself away, before then locking away his emotions and never looking back. As he couldn't bring himself to write on many traumatic subjects, for it was just too painful to bare. We see this pattern again, when Hamilton's eldest son, Philip Hamilton, died. Hamilton was very fond of his son, claiming him to be his "highest hope". So when nineteen year old Philip met his grave earlier in a duel against George Eacker, that Hamilton himself had advised he aim for the sky for, he fell into one of his darkest times. With the delay between condolence letters and the replies, it implies Hamilton had been greiving and unable to write back for several months at most. Until Hamilton would eventually have to move uptown to get away from the haunting memories of the city.

Impulsivity/recklessness

But aside from depressional habits, Hamilton also had quite the tendency to be rash, reckless, and quick to anger, or hotheaded. He showed much recklessness throughout the war, Hercules Mulligan once recalled a raid, when everyone else had ducked for cover, Hamilton ran straight into an artillery bombardment to retrieve his gun. Or at Yorktown, now with a battlefield command, he paraded his troops in front of British cannons. Needless to say, Hamilton showed such little regard for his own life, being too caught up in the spirit of his emotional and rash decision making.

While many praise Hamilton for his outstanding work ethic, it can be argued that Hamilton's focus and pace bordered on excessive at periods. He wrote 51 essays for the federalist papers in the span of six months, made a 6 hour long speech at the Constitutional convention, and even help write the Constitution. One biographer apparently describing Hamilton, during this period, as "restless and depressed," and another "like he was on something."

Temperamental

Hamilton also could be quite snappish and rude rather impulsively, as part of his fragile temperament and high esteem. His snappy correspondence with McHenry after the war is a great example, but also many others; such as the time Hamilton had temporarily, and impetuously, quit the army in spite of General Washington after a petty argument between the two. Washington had beckoned Hamilton to his office, and Hamilton promised to return after tending to other duties. Though after running into the Marquis De Lafayette, Hamilton stopped to discuss with his friend. Yet, upon his return, he instead welcomed by a furious Washington, as he recalls so in a letter to his father in law, Philip Schuyler;

“Instead of finding the General as usual in his room, I met him at the head of the stairs, where accosting me in a very angry tone, "Col Hamilton (said he), you have kept me waiting at the head of the stairs these ten minutes. I must tell you Sir you treat me with disrespect." I replied without petulancy, but with decision "I am not conscious of it Sir, but since you have thought it necessary to tell me so we must part" "Very well Sir, if it be your choice" or something to this effect and we separated.”

Now let's go over the common symptoms of bipolar;

Mood: mood swings, sadness, elevated mood, anger, anxiety, apathy, apprehension, euphoria, general discontent, guilt, hopelessness, loss of interest, or loss of interest or pleasure in activities

Behavioral: irritability, risk taking behaviors, disorganized behavior, aggression, agitation, crying, excess desire for sex, hyperactivity, impulsivity, restlessness, or self-harm

Cognitive: unwanted thoughts, delusion, lack of concentration, racing thoughts, slowness in activity, or false belief of superiority

Psychological: depression, manic episode, agitated depression, or paranoia

Weight: weight gain or weight loss

Sleep: difficulty falling asleep or excess sleepiness

Many of these sound like our Hamilton, like manic episodes, depression, agitated depression, impulsivity, aggression, excess desire for sex, etc. So as much as we will never know for sure what had been going on in Hamilton's mind, or if he ever did truly have a bipolar disorder; there is notable behavior issues that have made some similarities. If not a bipolar disorder, it is safe to say Hamilton as least suffered from some type of manic depression.
