Orphanage AU: Lams

Alexander Hamilton was adopted into an orphanage when he was younger and now, 20 years old, works there.

John Laurens was raised in a homophobic household and signs up for a stay-away job as a teacher at an orphanage... in New York.

Both from unhappy pasts, these two find solace in each other and the community that the orphanage provides. Tension grows, feelings develop, and escaping their respective pasts becomes harder.

Can they face their demons together and find the courage to tell each other how they feel?

Fluffier than it sounds. Like, so fluffy. 40% fluff, 40% drama, 20% hurt/comfort.

Side ships: Jeff/Mads is developing, boyf-riends is in the works, Kliensen, Marliza, and Zoelana make appearances. Sally and Peggy also are pining for each other. DRAMA.

Trigger warnings: violence, abuse, gay slurs (censored), implied (past) rape, suicidal thoughts.

Characters from: Lin? Hamilton? History? Dear Evan Hansen, Be More Chill, In The Heights.
