The Shore Between Your Skin And The Sea

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!

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...)

“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.

“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.

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.

In the chaos of an apocalypse, Dream finds himself wrapped in an adventure filled with memories, flowers and the melody to a rather specific tune. Along the way he finds a friend he’ll never forget.

“Never do that again.” George spits, glaring harshly at the blond in front of him. His expression softens as he notices blood seeping through the fabric of his friend’s shirt.

Dream tuts, wiping the red liquid from his lip as he raises a daring brow, an innocent smile on his face, “do what?”

“Risk your life for me.”

I cried so much bro

Connections - Dukeceit

Summary: A world of various soulmate connections forming at different ages, The sides need to navigate each having multiple types of soulmate connections and finding each other. Janus and Remus are connected by a ribbon and while it takes a few years do manage to find each other from it

Part of a series I’m doing that will be eventual DRLAMP

/\/\

Remus was used to everything he owned looking black to him. Really he had been from a month after the purple and green turned black, but waking up to a yellow cord winding around his wrist was new.

His immediate thought was to barge into his brother’s room. “HA! Now we’re 2 each!” He cheered, slamming the door open, glancing back to frown at the cord he’d attempted to tie to his own so they’d slam at once. Apparently the cord wasn’t corporeal enough to do that yet. He’d keep trying.

One Chance To Make A First Impression

Chapter One

Chapter 4/6:

Logan had not expected what had come of his conversation with Janus.  He hadn’t expected Janus and Roman to be what they were like at all.  His own experience with soulmates had set him very firmly against them.  But since Patton had met Janus and Roman, he’d been thinking, and he hadn’t been able to stop doing so.

Logan had spent a lot of time recently looking down at the sentences on his wrist and reevaluating how he felt about them.

“Wow, you’re weird.”

“As if we’d want an emotionless robot as a soulmate.”

There was a little less room for interpretations there than there was when it came to Patton’s situation.  Especially considering Logan had already had the experience.

He did not want to try and find his soulmates again.  They had made their opinions very clear, they had made no effort to apologize like Roman and Janus had.  (They apologized immediately.  They had immediately realized their mistake.  Logan didn’t know what to make of that.)

His soulmates had proven themselves unworthy of a second chance.  Roman and Janus… well, Logan was starting to think they were proving themselves worthy of one.

Hello hello, would you guys have any soft dnf recs?

“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.

OR

Dream is into knitting. George is into Dream.

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 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."

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.

"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.

Softly, he begins speaking. “You did so good, love.”

Dream should ask what he’s talking about, but he knows George. Knows that he isn’t just talking about him listening in the bathtub. Knows that he’s talking about everything they’ve done together in the past few weeks, and how overwhelming it all has been for Dream.

Suddenly, at the words, Dream feels tears filling his eyes. Before meeting in person, he’d never known George like this, and it was terrifying.

Soft, earnest, and nothing but sweet and gentle to him. Gone was the poking in an attempt to get a reaction, or the name calling filled with endless affection. Left in its place was only sweetness endlessly overflowing through every single one of his actions. It escaped in every look he sent to Dream, and in the way his giggles seemed full of mirth. It escaped in the way his voice inexplicably softened when it was turned in Dream’s direction, and the way his touches were all gentle and explorative in a way that Dream never thought to anticipate. He’s different here; he’s different for Dream.

“You’re sweaty,” George says, “but I want to touch you anyway.” He removes his hand and then leans down and kisses where warmth still lingers on Dream’s chest, lips gentle as he kisses as close to Dream’s heart he can get without opening him up. Dream can feel it deep in his chest regardless, so deep within him it warms him from the inside out.

“I think I love you,” George whispers against Dream’s skin. “I don’t know what’s wrong with me.”

“Nothing,” Dream breathes. “Nothing’s wrong with you.”

Or Dream is sick. George just really loves him.

It starts in the kitchen, as all lovely things do.

It starts with Dream, 3 pounds of roughly sliced yellow onions in a deep saucepan with three tablespoons of butter, and George.

or: a collection of moments where Dream and George fall in love in the kitchen.

“That’s twice tonight, baby,” Dream murmured, placing a gentle hand against George’s back. “You okay?”

George whipped his head around to stare at him, his eyes clear. “What?”

Dream froze, his own half-asleep haze melting away as surprise etched its way through his veins.

“Oh, hey, George.” He tried to sound casual as heat rose to his face and his ears burned scarlet. “Sorry, I thought you were sleepwalking.”

“You thought I was what?”

or; 4 times George sleepwalks, and one time he's still awake.

Morning Glory by ollieeyes - Explicit [Archived]

Because Dream knows George, knows him in caustic laughter and the way he pokes fun at anything that’s been deemed fair game, knows him in reserved bouts of affection and silent acceptance of when people try to show him fondness. It’s not that George is uncaring, but that he’s determined, rough around the edges, fiercely independent and intensely private.

But in Dream’s house, his bare feet padding on Dream’s stairs, his hands grasping Dream’s glass, George doesn’t seem so distant anymore. It seems that he’s sitting right here on Dream’s chest, forcing himself to be noticed. That he’s climbing into Dream’s skin to share the same space with him.

After years of skirting around his desire, Dream realizes he might have a thing for George’s softer side.

One of the first holidays that Dream spends with George is his birthday.

Of course, it isn’t technically the first holiday they’ve spent together. There were entirely too many holidays, in Dream’s opinion, spent stuck in Discord calls with nothing but each other’s voices for company. He remembers spending birthdays, Christmases, Valentine’s Days stuck talking to George from across the ocean. As time went on, celebrating felt pointless. Holidays became drab and dreary, and he no longer found himself looking forward to them. The wait for the visa dragged endlessly on and on, and everything in his life seemed to lose purpose.

That was until the beginning of August, when they finally got an update on the visa for the first time in months.

Or, a look into Dream and George spending each of their first holidays together in person.
