ok so, technically speaking w this amnesia, what would you change in 2.09 to bring miranda back to life? I’m thinking ‘bullet only scraped her head and knocked her out’ but I haven’t gotten beyond that. Also, how would she get out of Charlestown? Would Abigail be sneaking her out? Would she be the one to help her fake her death when she realized she doesn’t have her memories? Also: Thomas. Would he be in savannah w full memories or have amnesia too? How would they get back to flint?

2/2 (I’m so sorry if you weren’t the one to come up w the amnesia au I just remember seeing it on ur blog! Definitelt feel free to ignore this if you have no idea what I’m talking about)

Don’t be sorry! – I was the one to think of a Thomas Amnesia au, but the Miranda Amnesia au is the angsty brainchild of @flintsredhair​

@captainqueer-oflesbos – yes, I’m thinking the bullet does some small amount of damage – just enough to make it look like she’s dead bc hello head wound and unconscious and no one thinks to check for a pulse. She wakes up during the burning of Charles Town, manages to stumble her way out of danger, and gets taken out of the city maybe by someone who’s trying to get out in a wagon or something – someone who wasn’t at the trial, just someone ordinary, and then realizes that she has no freaking clue who she is or where she’s been or anything. She spends however long trying to piece together some kind of life and remembers vaguely that she had some intention of going to Boston although she can’t recall why, so naturally that’s where she goes to see if she remembers something once she’s there. 

Meanwhile, James finds Thomas (no amnesia there) and they move North for Reasons (feel free to make up those reasons!) Cue the completely accidental reunion with a Miranda who’s just relieved that someone knows who she is.
