The Laurens. They're a normal family. Father, mother, son. Everything's fine, right? Right..?
For John, an occasional hit or kick from his father wasn't by any means abnormal. Despite his mother's attempts to stop his father, John was just used to it. After his father was arrested for drunken assault, life got a little easier for a while. He could go out on dates, spend more time with friends, not have to worry about being manipulated... but the memories were still there. They hurt. And things were about to get a lot.. lot.. harder.

"The first rule of living on the streets (or rather, living at all) is that you never get too attached to anything. Don't waste your time. Don't make the effort. Because fortunes changed by the second. People don't stay. Alex was smart enough to know how it worked. He was also smart enough to know that he'd crossed that line with John too long ago to take it back." ------------------------ There's usually one rule when it comes to having a big group of friends: Do NOT date inside of the group. It's strict but simple, it avoids third wheeling scenarios and messy breakups; those never end well. So, truly, falling in love with your childhood best friend fucking sucked.

DO NOT THROW AWAY YOUR SHOT||lams oneshots
*this is currently being edited* I am horrible at descriptions so I'm just going to put an insert from it for now: Alexander Hamilton had never experienced snow. Never. Growing up in the Caribbean he'd never had the chance. Never until he'd moves to New York. Sure, he dreamed about seeing snow. But he never imagined that it was so cold. Yeah, it was pretty and all, but it was way too cold. The first year was the worst, but each year made Alexander dislike snow more and more. John was happy, though. Growing up in New York, John was used to the snow. Alexander on the other hand, he wasn't used to snow at all, as he grew up in the Caribbean. "Hey, Lex," John said, walking into his and Alexander's apartment. Alex looked up from his huddle of blankets on their couch. "No," he muttered. "What was that?" John asked, cheerfully. "No," Alex muttered again. "What?" "No. I'm not going outside." Alexander glared at John. "At least not until Spring."Complete

"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
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
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!!!!! It's someone else's creation!****Complete
I'll Be There For You ~ Lams College AU
Note: I don't know half of what I wrote here. It's cringy, it's old, and it's definitely NOT my best writing. But due to me going all like "oH iT's mY fIrsT fAnfIc! LeMme sAvE tHe mEmoRies", I chose not to take this down. This is not edited in most parts, so please, you have the right to turn around whenever you want to. --- Alexander Hamilton was taking a flight to America when a storm ahead had to make them land. As Alexander Hamilton boarded his plane from South Carolina to New York, he couldn't help but notice the beautiful eyes and freckles of a certain boy, John Laurens. They make a small talk before landing. Alex thought that chances are never that he would see him again. Boy, he was wrong. This would be your typical, (possibly stereotypical, my apologies) Lams fanfiction. :) ••• Fanfic status: Completed, Under Rewriting Started: March 27, 2020 Completed: October 17, 2020 Chapter count: 55 (including epilogue) Art: Drawn by author *cringe* Hotel: Trivago~ Quick Note: So, while editing, some chapters could get - how you say? - worse and cringier, as I think they are, than the one before.

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
