They made a deal, right? Alexander Hamilton teased, belittled, picked on, and bullied John Laurens in grade school. John doesn't care, though, because he decided that all he wants is for Alex to marry him. And he'll do anything to make that happen. Even if they're not a perfect match. Trigger Warning: John struggles immensely with his mental health because I struggle immensely with my mental health. Viewer discretion is advised.

Say Something (Lams, Mute!Alex) by MishaIsOurOverlord1

19-year-old John Laurens has been in college for four days before his roommate shows up. When John introduces himself, the boy doesn't say a word. So when Laurens asks for his name, he raises a hand and signs "Alexander Hamilton." This surprises Laurens just a bit, because this boy didn't look like the kind to remain silent. He's seen those people before, and the boy in front of him looks like he has a lot to say. But what's keeping him from speaking his mind?

A Lams fanfic set in modern time taking place at columbia university in new york city. the story will follow Hamilton and Laurens(Lams), Lafayette, Mulligan, Angelica, Eliza(A Beautiful Cinnamon Roll), and Peggy, and their journey through college. I know this is cheesy...(and PEGGY)...also the story will be cheesy too.

The cover art is not mine, credits to the owner.

Come Back Home (Lams Celeb AU) by xMusical_Nerdx

John Laurens is the ultimate celebrity. He's charming, he gives to charities, he's crazy talented, and on top of that, the whole world loves him. Well, the whole world except for his childhood best friend, of course. When John had left to become a superstar, he left Alexander Hamilton behind. They had lost contact after a couple years as John got sucked up into the world of being famous. So what happens when John, the singer devoted to his music, visits Alex, the scorned man who no longer enjoys his company, after ten years? ~.~ This story is inspired by Anthony Ramos's album, The Good and The Bad, and each title uses the song titles. (This book was written before the news of the breakup, and I was too far to turn back and change the story) I do NOT own the characters in this story, they all belong to history and Lin Manuel Miranda's musical, Hamilton. Cover Art creds @annanymous_ MATURE for strong language, and talk about sex (skips past actual sex scenes). WARNING: Most replies from me will be ominous, beware of the smiley face :) Unless otherwise specified, story will be told in John's POV.

Homework (Lams AU) by xMusical_Nerdx

He doesn't notice me He just smiles and says "Thank you for the trigonometry" 'Cause that's all it meant to him.. ~~ Alexander Hamilton is the smartest person at the local high school in New York City. Had a promising future, but no money for it. John Laurens, on the other hand, was the richest person in the same school (besides maybe his friends, the Schuyler Sisters), but he had no interest in learning anything to go anywhere. So it only makes sense for these two to work together to get where they want to be, right? Well, yeah, except there's a couple problems. 1) John Laurens and his group bully Alex every day, and 2) One of them has a secret crush. ~~ Highest Ranking: 1st in Lams/8.01K+ stories SONG CREDIT: Inspiration for story is based off of Alec Benjamin's song "Annabelle's Homework" I do NOT own the characters in this story, they all belong to history and Lin Manuel Miranda's musical, Hamilton. The cover art is NOT mine, it was drawn by the talented artist, @thatmusicalnerd12 . I only edited it. MATURE for bullying, talk about sexual things (skips past sex scenes, though), and strong language. WARNING: Most replies from me are going to be ominous :) Unless otherwise specified, story will be told in Alex's POV

Roses Of Mist [Lams//Boyxboy] ✔️ by axstheticbean

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.

Broken Lams Modern AU {High School} {Soulmates} {Mature} {Completed} by MamaTurtle4427

Alexander Hamilton is broken. He's the new kid with a tragic past and a strange look at a school where everyone knows everyone, and he's the latest in a long line of targets for... well, everyone. He wants to hate people so much that he doesn't want to meet his soulmate. Ever. John Laurens is broken. But no one knows it. On the outside he looks fine: just your average hippie, always smiling, always toting around a ukulele that he plays in the halls for anyone who frowns. But what they don't know is worse than anything they've ever experienced. In a world where everyone has soulmates, what happens when two very different boys connect in a way that no one would expect? Characters belong to Lin-Manuel Miranda/Hamilton/Uh... Their historical selves???

Tattoos (Lams coffee shop AU) by ssweeterthanhoneyy

John Laurens has always been the quiet, "emo," art kid who's been in denial about his sexuality for as long as he can remember. He got a job at a coffee shop and it seemed that he would be destined to stay that way forever. But can a certain dark haired, sleep deprived man change that?

The Place To Be ✔️ by qwertyholly

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 @pumkinet

What comes next? -Sequel to college years-lams fanfic by JohnLaurens_tho

Completed This is the sequel to College years- lams fanfic. Please read that first. None of the fanart is mine. Most likely will be a little angst but I'll put trigger warnings for bad stuff. The characters don't belong to me they're based of real people and Lin Manuel Miranda's portrayal of them in Hamilton.

[DISCONTINUED] My Whole Family Thinks I'm Straight (Lams) by qwertyholly

Yes the title is referencing Bo Burnham fight me. - - - John Laurens is an eighteen year old boy who has a secret. By looking at him, you'd see his straight hair and it would be an obvious assumption to think that he is straight. But the only person who knows that he isn't is John himself. In a world filled with acceptance, John feels very alone in the fact that he is gay, despite the millions of other people who with either curly or wavy hair. He envies everyone that walks by him with curly hair, yet never says anything. His whole world changes when he meets Alexander Hamilton. - - - Cover art credit to caw-chan

Impenetrable Heart | Lams College AU by SavingPeter

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!**

More Than a Summer Fling | Modern Lams AU | Fragilehoney by fragilehoney

His parents thought it would be nice to send him to a summer camp to get him away from the same routine. Little does he know what his summer will entail. My first Hamilton fanfic! :)
