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.
this is adorable✨

“You should be worried about yourself, with that leg.”
Eyes narrowed. “It worked, by the way. What you did.”
George raised an eyebrow, slowly reaching for the drink again as though he could tell he’d need it for whatever this is about to be. “What… Do you mean?” Another sip, and Dream hated himself for worrying about seeing George in his position– on the field, unable to stand up. He kept his guard anyway.
“You didn’t care about me out there,” Dream states confidently, pushing outlying strands of hair behind his ears. “You just wanted to be in my head. It worked, but I got the goal anyway.”

or, dream and george play football state v state :] gayness ensues
Dream didn’t say anything more, so George didn’t either. He let the words that festered inside him eat through his heart and ribs and skin until he was bleeding out on the lumpy mattress. He didn’t say everything that might convince Dream to stay; instead he wrapped his hands around his ribs and hunched his shoulders as if that would contain him.
I miss you. I’m scared of you leaving me forever. I need you and you need me. I regret walking away that day. I love you.
He didn’t even say goodbye. He didn’t say anything at all.
c!dnf, and the roads that lead home.
Heyy I was wondering if you have any, preferably long, sick!George dnf fics??? Idrc if they’re wips !!
i've already recommended a lot of sickfics -> here
Chapter One
Author’s Note: And welcome back to your regularly scheduled regularly scheduled program!
Alright, summary that’s as non graphic as I can make it! In the last chapter, Virgil goes to rescue Janus, then buys Janus time to fix the barrier by shifting to take his place. Janus realizes he’s messed up just a tiny bit, and he and the rest of the sides and Thomas all go down to rescue Virgil, who’s being tortured by the other sides there, using an idea Remus gave them back when he was down there alone and trying anything to stop being bored. Remus rescues him by killing Malice, but Virgil still asks Remus to kill him rather than recover from the injuries he has, so Remus does. It ends there, and Virgil’s now out of commission for a little bit.
Also, hopefully last heads up, but there’s not going to be a chapter next week because I’ll be out of internet range. This should be the last time, and there should (knock on wood) be a chapter every week until the story is done after that.
Chapter Thirty-Three:
Janus had locked Cruelty and Positivity up in their rooms for the indefinite future. He said he’d locked Malice’s door prematurely, so he’d be locked up when he reappeared. Remus wasn’t sure why the hell he told him. It’s not like that was enough to make up for everything.
Virgil’s door would likely be gone for another week, meaning Remus was alone, again, and he hated it. Everyone was giving him a wide berth, which he wanted, obviously, but it meant he had nothing and no one. The creatures he made in The Imagination got boring after a while, especially since all his ideas were apparently so useless.
Well. Not that Malice would think so.
Remus tried to distract himself from the crushing guilt and loneliness by giving Thomas tons of horrible ideas about what could happen, doing his part while Virgil wasn’t here.
Tommy-boy was a bit of a mess, as he always was when Virgil was gone. They were all kind of spending most of their time watching him. Remus did his part entirely from his room so he wouldn’t have to see any of their stupid faces, and lived his life under dark of night like the horrifying monster that he was. He didn’t really expect that to work forever, but he also didn’t expect anyone who found him due to getting a glass of water or midnight snack to stick around for very long.
He certainly didn’t expect Patton to be the side that stuck around.

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!
— 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.

(It’s my guilty pleasure trope) ❤️❤️❤️
nothing to be guilty about anon! try these tags and a couple more fics -> insecure!dream , insecure!george , body worship
— one way ticket by dizzy (expl. | comp. | 60k)
George's family tells him he has to either get a job or go back to school... so in May of 2019 he applies to university in Florida and shows up on Dream's doorstep. Neither of them are really expecting Dream's youtube channel to blow up just after George moves in.
— boys and girls and punctuation by Anonymous (mat. | comp. | 7k)
George’s identity is fortified heavily by his self expression, and the ways in which he expresses himself is constantly changing, constantly shifting, constantly inconsistent. But he’s always found security in knowing that, no matter how inconsistent he may be, no matter how far away he strays from masculinity, he’s still a boy. And there is safety in that. It’s the one consistent thing he has. But recently, everything he’s ever known about being a boy has been fracturing. The next most constant thing he’s ever known is Dream.
— This Thing Called Us by venus43 (expl. | abandoned | 46k)
summer with dream is a lot harder than george anticipated.
— record player by casey_writes_domestic_fluff (teen | comp. | 1k)
Dream struggles with the online backlash after his face reveal. George reminds him that his value doesn't lie in a stranger's opinions of him.
Summary: George is different in real life. That wasn’t in Dream’s carefully thought out ideas, with every eventuality of what might happen. He’s seen the internet talking about George being a little gremlin person. Dream is inclined to agree. He’s like no one else in the world, which Dream knows is sort of the point of all this, really: he thinks George is like no one else in the world, and somehow, miraculously, George feels the same about him.
