Were you for real about the tree ficlet? Because every time is appreciate William North time, and I need that in my life :')
Indeed I was! I’m afraid it turned out a bit angsty, but it’s still Appreciate William North time, so here you go :”)
September 17th, 1787

Hehad been surprised that he was invited at all, seeing as he was getting marriedin a month. He hadn’t been glad to put the words on paper and send them off tohis one-time-Inspector-General, but he had been so swamped at the time with armypaperwork and the busyness he hadn’t been aware a wedding would bring into hislife that there was hardly another option. So here he was, holding a book of Germanpoetry wrapped in brown paper in one hand and a bottle of wine in the other,suspecting that the Baron likely did not want to see him.
Heknocked, and to his surprise, von Steuben opened the door and embraced himstraightaway. North, squished as he was against the star medallion that theBaron obstinately wore everywhere (even on his banyan), wondered if he ought tosay something. He settled for “Happy birthday, my dear Baron.”
