John Laurens gets a job working at an orphanage to escape his abusive Father where he meets Alexander Hamilton, a coworker who is also running away from a terrible past. Both are treading too carefully to break their barriers and talk about it. Instead of connecting over healing from dark pasts they begin to run away from the subjects that remind them of home until tension snaps

Sequel to Like You Need it to Survive. Alexander is starting to trust, believe that maybe he's worth some good, but John? Isn't John too good? Maybe, but that won't stop Alexander from trying. Lams and Mullette.

(Lams) This Modern Day AU sees the Hamilsquad facing issues in the world today. Laurens is leading the Black Lives Matter fight, Alexander is working as the New York Governor Hopeful George Washington's campaign manager. They're surrounded by friends and doing the best they can to navigate life, love, and to keep fighting for what they believe in. (Implied smut, rating may change)

In a small coffee shop, Alexander Hamilton meets the one person who makes him go speechless. Modern day AU, Lams. (Sorry I'm so bad at summary writing!)
