Monthly Fic Roundup - November 2023

i will make separate posts for dnf week fics so look forward to that. here are the regular fics posted this month :]

please take a couple seconds to leave some love !

— noughts & crosses by sageafk (expl. | comp. | 12k)

It's just instincts, but with everyone assuming Dream is an alpha and his sister sharing the news of her new litter of pups, George feels a little short. He needs to be fucked and bred and knotted, and his omega boyfriend will do everything he can to make him feel better.

— There's Hope Out The Window by Scoops (consciousness_streaming) (expl. | comp. | 14k)

Dream and George make a late night run for snacks and end up involved in a gas station robbery that makes them question everything they thought they knew.

— just his luck by dreamskis (expl. | comp. | 11k)

There is no way Dream just walked in on George getting off, evidence still pulled up on the screen in full high definition glory, and instead of doing the normal person thing and leaving to avoid any awkward conversations, he just… Plops himself down. Right on the other end of the couch, just a few feet away from where George is clutching the pillow to his lap for dear life, flames burning in his cheeks. As if this is any other normal interaction for the two of them. Like he walked in on George watching a new episode of Better Call Saul and not Brunet Twink is a Cock-Hungry Slut: Part II.

— you're not a friend again by cqfnce (mat. | comp. | 7k)

Dream blinks at him, big eyes wide. “George… That’s not how- Kissing does not work like that.” “So you’re good at kissing then?” George teases. Dream grins. “The best, actually.” “Prove it,” George replies, the words on the edge of his tongue since the conversation had started.

— tried and true blue by twostorms (expl. | comp. | 13k)

Sapnap decides to move out. George isn't sure what that means for him and Dream.

— just go home by hardtofindneuro (expl. | comp. | 14k)

Dream's busy and always expects George to change around the plans for him but George is tired of it. When George refuses to budge on his birthday plans, Dream tells him the one thing that makes him regret even coming to America in the first place.

— Can You Hear Me? by VicIsWriting (expl. | comp. | 12k)

He's pictured it a million different ways, maybe Dream meets him in the airport and they run into each other's arms while all the busy noise of Orlando International Airport melts away– and all they can hear is I love you radiating through their souls. It didn’t happen like that, obviously. Instead it was a driveway and sweltering heat, with Sapnap watching on. It was Dream walking out looking like a damn god with the sun glowing behind him, it’s an awkward hug and an unfamiliar smell.

— teach you how forever feels like by jack_not_found (mat. | comp. | 27k)

a spontaneous match on a dating app leads to the best thing that's ever happened to george: dream, and his son.

— goddamn blaze in the dark (you started it) by brokenlikeastitch (teen | comp. | 25k)

This is it, the culmination of seven years of friendship and a little over three years of…something else. George’s lips part, expectant, and just as he’s about to push forward and join them entirely, the kitchen light flips on. It’s abrupt the way the bubble around them pops, and Dream flinches back, startled at the interruption. George immediately feels colder, and his stomach sinks. So fucking close.

— time’s uncertain wing by snowdreamr (teen | comp. | 14k)

On loneliness and distance, but above all else, on the agony of being known—inside, out, and all around.

— if i got one thing right by nervouswaltz (teen | comp. | 4k)

George wants to adopt a cat. Dream realizes, with time, that he wants more.

— it's your birthday (make a wish) by newsouls (expl. | comp. | 1k)

In the shower before George's stream, he gets his first birthday gift of the day.

remember, you can always send your own favourites of the month for me to include!

*sniffs*  *screams*

YAYYY my pride exchange for @lesbian-gnf WOOOO stream....

(the collection!)

feel so far

dnf | 10.8k words | rated teen & up

childhood friends to lovers | practice kissing | light angst with a very happy ending :)

I think it would be an honor, you liking me back. I don’t know. I’ve never been sought after by boys; I grew up in Florida and surrounded by girls. Girls are lame. A lot of the girls who hit on me in Florida just wanted, like, to hook up or something, and I’m not exactly into that. Me and Shelby talked about it.

Britain is a lot better than Florida, I’ve decided. I feel more like myself here. I could totally get a boyfriend or something, and maybe I could stay here. I like the atmosphere, and I’m so lucky to have you guys as a friend group. Even if I want you as more than a friend, George.

So… coffee date? Love, Dream

After moving to the UK for college, Dream rediscovers someone he used to love, and rekindles the feelings he had during his childhood.

Monthly Fic Roundup - January 2023

(even though we're more than a week into feb)

make sure to send lots of love to the authors like always <3

— Separation Desperation by valzalea (teen | comp. | 2k)

A hurricane hits Florida and George is, once again, separated from Dream just like before.

— bet your ass i'm right (dnf) by Simplysmitten (expl. | comp. | 12k)

Dream and George like to make bets, even over the dumbest of things. The stakes get higher when they start to wager sexual favors.

— Patterns by youresheesh (expl. | wip | 58k)

Dream and George have been teasing each other a little too much with flirty remarks and sexual comments, so everything comes to a head during New Year's Eve, and George can't seem to keep his eyes off of Dream's hands.

— Game on by giulscio (mature | compl. | 17k)

George plays truth or dare with his friends and he is dared to play a game with Dream, they have to pretend to be dating and the first one who chickens out loses.

— definitely not friends by twostorms (teen | comp. | 9k)

George and Dream grew up together, then grew apart. Somehow, they're lucky enough to get a second chance.

— light in a dark place by twostorms (mature | comp. | 3k)

The sales associate asks Dream if they’re certain about the size, because they have the same one available in a king size which may be more comfortable for two people, and George is certain his face reddens at the realization that oh, obviously she can tell we’re a couple. It’s far from the first time that someone out in public has made the same assumption about the two of them—but it’s the first time the assumption has been made correctly.

— kiss and make up by snowdreamr (teen | comp. | 5k)

Despite his best instincts, George lets Dream do his makeup.

— it could be worse by dizzy (expl. | comp. | 13k)

Dream and George have been sleeping together since George showed up in the US, but George wants a definition for what they are that Dream just isn't giving him.

— i'd take care of you (if you asked me to) by charoo (teen | comp. | 1k)

in which george leaves his binder on too long and dream kisses him better.

— a warm bed as wide as the world by womanhunt (teen | comp. | 3k)

They had been sitting in their living room, Dream worrying aloud about how the sleeping arrangements would go and picking the skin from his nail when George interrupted him. “Don’t be silly. They can just use my bed and I’ll sleep with you or something.” He’d even reached over and gently slapped Dream’s hand to stop him from picking at his nail, a habit he had gotten into from the first time he had seen Dream doing it in person and frowned wordlessly at the action. And, before Dream could even begin to question him, Karl had loudly barged into the room and announced his presence, deferring the conversation for another time. And that’s how they had gotten here, to Dream awkwardly standing in the doorway of his ensuite bathroom, with his teeth freshly brushed and his face washed, unable to do anything but watch George where he was already comfortably lying on his side in Dream’s bed, scrolling through something on his phone.

— once and for all by brokenlikeastitch (mature | wip | 15k)

On the verge of the start of the 20th century, the newsies of lower Manhattan decide it’s time for change. They find themselves in a fight for their lives and their rights. Whatever it takes, the union awakes, there’s change coming once and for all.

this post has some from our good friend dnfao3tags, and this post also has some sfw ones we've previously recommended!

You Had to Be There to Get It

Summay: Thomas knows that he sometimes relates to different sides for different reasons, but this situation is a new one.

Keep reading

oooo may u share some of your favourite fics with THE dnf trope 🤲

i've already recced most of these i think but here you go!

the dnf trope

— One night (or forever) by winterlighting (expl. | comp. | 65k)

George breaks his bed on his first night in Florida, then a sleeping arrangement that was meant to last until he got a new bed frame soon turned into a routine; full of domesticity and gestures that blur the platonic line.

— how to love other people by mocharex (teen | comp. | 14k)

George is far touchier than expected, and Dream doesn't know how to handle it

— What a Wicked Thing to Do (To Let Me Dream of You) by snakeinaboyband (expl. | comp. | 72k)

George finds himself often brushing his fingers over those freckles until he realizes what he’s doing and withdraws entirely. He kind of wants to shove as much distance between them as possible so he can reject the thought that he’s falling. But he also doesn’t want that, admittedly. The soothing of everything in their busy lives at the placement of being tucked into his friend’s chest, it’s just too good. And if he did want to place a platonic wedge into their closeness, there’d have to be a conversation held. Because Dream is guilty of pressing close just as much as he is, he can’t one day go stiff at hands pulling at him. He can’t go back to sleeping alone.

— this pile of bricks by orphan_account (teen | comp. | 9k)

Dream moves in with his best friend, and accidentally falls in love.

— Holding Pattern by jestbee (expl. | comp. | 6k)

When George gets to Florida, he has a hard time adjusting to all the touching.

— Walls by 24notfound (mat. | comp. | 245k)

When George is finally able to visit Dream in Florida, they start to face a lot more complications than they'd anticipated.

— Heart on the Burning Sands by orphan_account (expl. | abandoned | 83k+)

Once George is finally in Florida, he and Dream can't seem to stay apart.

— to burn with desire and keep quiet by falsettodrop (expl. | comp. | 47k)

Varying degrees of togetherness, in four parts.
