Alexander Hamilton is tired of feeling broken. He wants to start over, forget his past and have a fresh, new beginning at college. Then he meets John Laurens, who is a dorky, lovable goofball that also wants to get away from who he used to be. But things in the past don't always stay in the past. And promises are meant to be broken.

Hamilton and Laurens are hard at work, writing essays on slavery. But what happens when Alexander notices his closest friend is seemingly hiding something? Lams, a multi-chapter fic. Other pairings included. T for kissing, swearing, angst, gore.
