"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?

The Place To Be ✔️
Alexander Hamilton is starting at Columbia University. He joins knowing very few people but quickly becomes friends with his roommate, John Laurens. Just another fucking cliche lams story except this one has good grammar. This story will mainly be based around Alex and John, but there will be other ships involved throughout (check the tags to see some I guess idk) Unedited lol Cover art by @pumkinetComplete![Laurens, That Would be Enough [✔️] // Lams](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/103079396-256-k746788.jpg)
Laurens, That Would be Enough [✔️] // Lams
Alexander Hamilton is adopted by the Washingtons, along with Lafayette. They're both starting 10th grade, but for Alexander, it's a brand new school. Lafayette's best friend, John Laurens, has piqued Alexander's mind. But when Alexander meets him in person, he falls head over Converses. This story is a Hamilton Highschool AU that takes place in the present, which WAS 2017. It only follows mainly Alexander's thoughts and emotions. (Switching to other POVs for jokes and plot.) Was written about high school by someone who had not yet been in high school. So middle schoolers reading this, do not hold your expectations so high. !! READ AT YOUR DISCRETION! I WROTE THIS IN 2016-18 AND IT DOES NOT REPRESENT WHO I AM TODAY! Thank you. !! ⚠️TIGGERS: Suicide (attempts), self-harm, mentions of abuse, homophobic slur, mention of r*pe in Ch 16 and after, and there are probably more. Twelve-year-old me is not responsible for your triggers. ⚠️ There is also cussing. Problem? Leave. All said aside, I hope you enjoy. :))Complete

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!

"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
