"So, you're my new roommate. I guess we should introduce ourselves, huh?"
"That we should."
John extended his hand towards the young man, who shook it.
"Laurens. John Laurens. What's your name?"
The young man gave a cheeky smile.
"Hamilton. Alexander Hamilton."
~~~
It's John's junior year of college and he couldn't be happier. A chance to get away from home and be himself, college is more than an education, its freedom.
Alongside him, Alexander is starting his freshman year of college, and he's terrified. Presented with an opportunity to escape a dark past and lonely life, Alex believes it might be too good to be true.
When the two are set to be college roommates, their friendship begins easily, but in the face of confusion and new feelings, will John be able to show Alexander the brighter side of life? And will Alexander be able to help John come to terms with his own past as well?

Roses Of Mist [Lams//Boyxboy] ✔️
John Laurens is a shy 15 year old, in the closet. His only wish of this school year, is to be more confident about himself. Make friends. Maybe even get a boyfriend. Alexander Hamilton, an 18 year old senior, popular, and has a girlfriend named Eliza. Little did anyone know, girls aren't his only preference. (I know that Laurens is the one that's 3 years older, but John sounds cute as a shy kid. I also know this is probably crappy, and ive changed some details, such as Lafayette being three years older than Laurens instead of three years younger, and ive made relations between characters that aren't real. But i love Hamilton and i ship Lams). Cover made by me. Art in the cover photo isn't mine. Credit to the artist. This is all pretty badly written so be warned. There's also a part two but it's on hiatus.Complete!["Benefits" [Under Editing]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/98942823-256-k826427.jpg)
"Benefits" [Under Editing]
John Laurens was known in college for one thing and one thing only: He was the biggest fuck boy ever. Which was perhaps a hyperbole, but the title still stood. What most people didn't know is that behind the charming smiles and weekly hookups, John Laurens was just a desperate gay guy in search for a cute that didn't sleep. He convinced himself that if he slept with enough girls, he would start liking them eventually, but it doesn't work that way. Everything just gets even more complicated when he gets a cute roommate by the name of Alexander Hamilton, roommate who he can't resist from the second he lays eyes on him. <<COMPLETE/UNDER EDITING>>Complete

Then he meets John Laurens, who is a dorky, lovable goofball that also wants to get away from who he used to be. But things in the past don't always stay in the past. And promises are meant to be broken... ...Right? Warnings in the first chapter | #1 | #purging | #1 | #offenseComplete
Impenetrable Heart | Lams College AU
There are two things you need to know about John Laurens. One: don't ask him about his major, and two: don't try to get to know him. Despite these warnings, Alexander Hamilton is determined to get inside of the mind of the boy from the college party with the curly hair and freckles who looked like he would rather have been anywhere else than there. John, meanwhile, has one thing on his mind; to not fall for that little persistent kid from the Caribbean who feels uniquely entitled to his messed-up life. But nothing could ever be that simple, now could it? **Mature Rating for heavy topics. Cover logo credits to @KinziFace! Thank you so much for making it!**Complete

Hush
After life threw Alexander around for years, things finally started settling down. He had a loving family, an education, and caring friends. A home. But of course, the world isn't quite done with him just yet. When he starts talking to John Laurens, supposedly bratty, snobbish, rich John Laurens, and finds out that what people say about him are nothing but myths he finds himself tangled on a secret friendship which eventually morphs, quite accidentally, into something more with the South Carolinian. He can't let people know about them, especially not his lovable but oh so overbearing brother Lafayette. It gets even worse when feelings are thrown into the picture. But whatever, what Lafayette doesn't know won't hurt him, right?Complete
