"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?

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

You get me (Lams fanfiction)
Alex Hamilton has never been in the best mind state. He's been through sickness, a hurricane, and foster homes. All of his foster homes have abused him verbally and physically, especially because of his sexuality. Then, he is fostered with the Washingtons. John Laurens has always been the easiest target at school. His dad rarely comes home, once a month if he feels like it. John has fallen into a deep depression with self-harm. The only people keeping him alive are his friends, but they don't know how bad it is. When Lafayette introduces Alex and John, they immediately click. John trusted Alex enough to tell him about his depression. Alex slowly tells John everything about his past. Will they be each other's lifesavers? ***Mentioning of Sexuality, Sex, Rape, Abuse, Bullying, Suicide, Depression, Cursing, and Self-harm*** ****I don't own the art cover!!!!!

"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
