“Dream,” George says deadpan. “You’re drunk.”
“Am not,” he refutes. George raises his eyebrows at him and suddenly he feels 2 feet tall. “Okay, maybe just a little. But, George, I swear I’m fine!”
“What are you even doing here?”
“Decorating.”
“Decorating… my door?”
-
or Dream gets home from a night of drinking and decides to decorate the house.

She gives him an odd look. “You’re an adult, Dream. You’re allowed to sleep in the same room as your boyfriend.”
Dream freezes, and George chokes on air behind him. “What?” Dream says, eloquently, at the same time as George says, “Oh.”
Dream takes George home for Christmas, and they end up pretending they're in a relationship—or the five times they don't kiss, and the one time they do.
so far in running by myicedcoffee
"I bet you a month’s worth of compsci homework and a muffin that you can’t make it through all two weeks of winter break without breaking and telling your mum the truth.'
That's probably the stupidest thing Dream had ever heard come out of George’s mouth, and that was saying a lot, but saying no to George had proven to be an unnecessarily hard thing to do.
So, of course, Dream finds himself looking George dead in the face yet again, holding his hand out to shake on it.
'Deal,' he grumbles, but he can feel the grin tugging on his face, and he knows George can see it too.
or,
Chocolate chip muffins, a bet, and a fake relationship. What could go wrong?
Chasing Snowflakes (Dreamnotfound) by passmethemolly - Mature
After a few careless words, George suddenly finds himself needing a boyfriend for the holiday season to bring to his family back in England. Clay, being the great friend he is, plays along with his friend's crazy plan of pretending to be dating for the four weeks. What could possibly happen?
Mature for language use.
There's No Mistletoe Above Our Heads But I'll Kiss You Anyways by jungkooksfic
“I’d love for you to come George, but you do realize that I’m not out, right?”
Ah, there it is. The fact that Clay isn’t out until his family. A minor detail.
George, before fighting better judgement, says, “we could just pretend we’re not dating?”
Clay has the grand idea to take George home to meet his parents, but there's one teeny-tiny detail he didn't tell them about:
He's gay, and George is his boyfriend.
(Or, Clay and George have to pretend they haven't been dating for nearly two years, and George is a really terrible liar.)
unwrap by luckylikeyou
Dream and George spend Christmas together.
Hi ! Can you recommend me some fics where either Dream or George or both struggle with realizing they are not straight. Or maybe ones where them being gay for each other is a big deal or main focus of the story ?
I'm pretty new to this ship is there any the best of the best list of fanfiction ? Or any particular one I just have to read ?
I prefer longer ones like at least 5 000 words but anything would be great.
Many thanks, hope you have great day :D (sorry if it's to much requests at once)
hi anon!! welcome to the fandom! generally, if you go on ao3 and sort by most hits you'll get the fandom popular ones. heat waves, accelerate, dear dream, etc.
as for ur request, mixture of sexuality crisis/realization and internalized homophobia fics!
post you blues by Anonymous - CW Internalized Homophobia
George's just standing there, old Rolling Stones tee thrown haphazardly on, but his hair is wild and his scruff's growing out again and his eyes are dulled with sleep but bright all the same, and Dream can't do anything but sit there and oh fucking no, because this isn't meant to happen. There are guidelines. Dream can't be fucking attracted to his long-term best friend.
(But oh god, if he could sit back and let George crawl into his lap and watch his face as he slings his arms around Dream's neck and maybe kiss up his jawline a little...)
mild inaccuracies about who is older/younger, but its still fine! gnf helps drm be okay with his sexuality
call me an amenity (even if it's in my dreams) by acatalepsy - Mature
“Act normal!” He glares, leaning in close and jabbing his finger at his reflection. “Be normal, Clay.”
He runs the faucet as cold as it can go, splashes freezing water on his face over and over again. Thinks of his grandma and his dead childhood dog. Fucking thinks of Sapnap in a maid costume. Anything.
“Don’t make it weird. Do not make this weird.”

Or: Recently Dream has been having some very interesting, well, dreams about his best friend. Go figure. And then, to make matters worse, Twitter just has to get involved.
anything (want you to have it) by squigly
“You never know, man,” Sapnap says, sitting back in his seat when Dream finally parks his car. “If we’re talking about dudes—”
“We were never talking about dudes,” Dream says.
“Yeah we fuckin’ were,” Sapnap says. “The girl’s dad. George, or whatever his name was. Didn’t you say you liked looking at him?”
Dream and George's kids get into fights a lot. This means, of course, that they have to see a lot of each other.
suck a dick fallacy by literaphobe - Explicit
Dream has so much he wants to explore about his sexuality, but no one he trusts enough to do it with. Lucky for him, George is finally in Florida. Surely things will be easy enough to figure out between best friends like them.
It ends up spiraling far beyond what either of them could anticipate.
Catholic Boys by richietozlr - Mature & Ongoing - CW Internalized Homophobia & Transphobia, Heavy Religious Imagery
George's senior year is supposed to be uneventful. He's supposed to spend his afternoons with his best friends Quackity and Niki in the shitty local diner, talking and joking around until they're kicked out. He's supposed to act like somebody he isn't so he can graduate from his quaint little Catholic school and move on. That's the plan. That's how it's supposed to go.
Until George meets Dream. He hates everything about him.
--
A Catholic school, coming-of-age AU featuring closeted transman George, a very confused pining Dream, a supportive Niki, and a healthy serving of Karlnapity.
so many options (but i only want you) from options series by itsallfutile
What isn’t apart of his typical post party ritual is stumbling across his best friend’s profile during his mindless swiping. He knows Dream has had his fair share of dates and hookups, he’s in his twenties and the president of a Fraternity after all. But he can’t shake the weird feeling bubbling in his chest as he stares at the ‘Clay, 21’ on his screen and he decides to lock his phone, as if that would stop the feelings clawing up his throat.
or, george stumbles across his apparent straight friend on tinder.
George and Dream keep pretending to kiss each other.
It’s a joke, until it’s not.
(Or: I spontaneously wrote a cute one-shot because the meet-up filled me with inspiration.)
Fluff and Humor, Light Angst, Pining, Getting Together, First Kiss
Excerpt:
“We could… kiss?”
He looked at George, and George looked at him, and for a second neither of them moved.
For a second, George thought it would actually happen.
But then Dream broke, pulling away and tilting his head back and laughing magnificently. In any other circumstance, George would have been laughing too. He was just contagious like that. But not tonight. Not now.
Now, there was only want so thick it had begun to boil into rage.
“Well go on, then. Kiss me, coward. You won’t.”
Any ceo dream fics?

dream is in love with one of his employees, but he's too much of an idiot to do anything about it. cue george, the man he's in love with.
Office Boy by small_latte
“That’s my job, sir,” he responded curtly, shaking his arms out which were a little stiff after carrying stacks of coffees for so long. When his boss didn’t show signs of leaving, he met his eyes, asking - “Is there anything else I can help you with?”
Dream blinked. “Why do you still call me that?"
“Call you what, sir?” George said in response, semi-in defiance, because knew exactly what he meant.
George being a good little receptionist, running around and doing tasks for his boss Dream, who runs his own IT company. Sapnap, Quackity and Karl are there too.
Business Anomaly by middayMay - Explicit
George Danvers, an aggressive businessman and CEO of a million dollar company, becomes in need of another assistant when his last one quit. After sitting through a series of painstaking interviews, one man comes in late and urges George to give him a chance. With no other options left, George could only hire that one stranger who arrived late. Things only spiral from there.
now i'm all about you by newheart
Sapnap knows it’s none of his business but sometimes he sort of feels like it is his business.
Like when they’re giggling and teasing each other like they were after Dream officially declared them as friends, all right in front of him. Or when they spend an entire lunch break arm wrestling with George putting his entire body weight into the challenge and Dream letting him get away with it, wheezing and emphasising their difference in strength. Or when George gets a ride home with Dream instead of taking the bus home even though they live in opposite directions.
Or, Sapnap makes new friends and watches them fall in love
take me out (the murder way) by orphan_account
Expect Dream to perfectly time his entrance when George was sipping his coffee so he could walk in and say hi, causing George to choke and, as a result, die so he could eliminate George as competition in the office. Who says hi to each other in the morning?
“We do. Normal people. Friends,” Sapnap slowly blinks at him. “And coworkers. You guys literally say hi to each other every morning.”
George blinks back. “I have never willingly spoken to him in my life.”
(Being enemies, it was expected for Dream to make a few attempts on George's life.
This being said, George was a little confused as to why the rest of their coworkers think they're in love with each other, and why Sapnap keeps calling him an idiot.)
Order 73 by merlotmylove - Ongoing
“Did you seriously just call me a prick? Last I checked, you dumped coffee on 𝘮𝘦.” He glares up at me with angry eyes before rising to his full height, stepping closer to me. I look down, senses filled with his extravagant cologne and my sweetened coffee dripping off the silk.

Or// Dream is a self-made millionare struggling with a company growing faster than he may be able to handle. George is months away from getting a doctrate, working at a coffee shop for some semblance of peace. A very expensive and sticky mistake later, their lives entwined more than either of them welcomed.
hii! i was wondering if you have any shy George fics?

ao3: “happiness becomes a choice” rating: T warnings: platonic dukeceit, nightmares, abandonment issues, crying genre: hurt/comfort description: Remus is angry and does something perhaps a little ill-advised to deal with said anger. (day 29: “My pain is constant and sharp and I do not hope for a better world for anyone. In fact, I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape.” Bret Eaton Ellis, American Psycho @tsshipmonth2020 )
Remus twirls his fingers, sending sickly green tendrils of fog down every hallway in the mind palace, seeking out the other sides. Unless they know exactly what it is, they won’t be able to do anything about it, and the only one who would know is Janus. But Janus is asleep now, because sleep is self care and all that bullshit. So it doesn’t matter.
He spreads his fingers wide, tugging lightly, and grinning as he realizes that each side is trapped now. Trapped in a hell of his own making.

retracing my steps by twostorms
“You missed me,” George cuts him off and wraps his arms around his neck, pulling Dream into a second hug that’s somehow warmer than the first, even if less forceful.
“I missed you,” Dream affirms, the top of George’s head so close to his lips that he can feel his breathing shifting his hair. “So much, George.”
“I know,” George whispers, and Dream can hear the smile in his voice. And Dream knows that even if he doesn’t say it, the way George’s thumb brushes against his hair at the nape of his neck means I missed you too.
george comes home for the summer after his first year away at college, and dream decides 800 miles of driving are his last chance to convince him to stay.
Tying you to me by summerchai
After seeing fan made fibre art, Dream is determined to master the craft of knitting. As a result, George receives a closet's worth of blue items, and is feeling very normal about it.

It’s stupid. It’s so fucking stupid. Stupid enough to warrant a show on TLC: Child-hater George experiences his sweet boyfriend’s babysitting skills first-hand for the first time, and promptly experiences a chronic case of baby fever.
george's complicated spiral into deciding—sporadically—that he wants to raise a kid alongside dream
the person that sent you this by luckylikeyou
George finally gets the chance to come to Orlando to meet Dream in person. Once he lands, he notices an unassuming TikTok from Dream in his inbox.
"The person that sent you this thinks you're really cute, and if you don't respond to this in the next minute, you have to kiss them."
way back then (did anybody ever say no to you?) by halocupid
However, George was all lilted smiles and teasing—this guy wasn’t actually going to give a random stranger on the road six hundred dollars for a hoodie, right?
But the handsome stranger was already nodding. “Deal.”
George starts reselling clothes. Dream overpays him.
van gogh out with me by moonsooms
"You - was that a pick up line?" He asks, taken back, and Dream almost laughs. "I'm about to steal a seventeen million dollar artifact, and your first instinct is to flirt with me?"
"I mean, I don't know, why not," Dream smiles, despite being able to list many reasons as to why not.
(Dream, local superhero, attempts to recruit the infamous art thief that keeps slipping away.
Clay, local college student, attempts not to fall in love with the waiter who knows an unnatural amount about art.)
I read the fic a while ago and it was like, dream had a lot of money from his shitty dead dad and he and George were spending it traveling but they’d also kind of fight and it wasn’t exactly a healthy relationship but It was really potent and I think I discovered it on this page

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