What You Don’t Know Can’t Hurt You

Chapter One

Chapter Two:

Janus woke up slowly, and that was weird.

He didn’t wake up slowly.  He woke up to Remus banging on his door shouting obscenities or breakfast ideas.  On worse days he woke up to one of the others banging on his door, and a note from Remus that he was going over to bug Patton and try and sneak maggots into his pancake batter when he wasn’t looking.  He didn’t wake up to quiet and stillness.  Something must be wrong.

Janus opened his eyes and sat up quickly, and that was when he recognized the room he was in, and all of last night came flooding back.  Had Virgil actually asked him to stay here?  Had he actually agreed?  Why the hell had he done that?

Janus rubbed his eyes and slumped back against the headboard.  Maybe he could find some way to take it back.  He could tell Virgil he was delirious from blood loss, or tired from being hunted down by Pride and he didn’t know what he was saying.

He doubted Virgil would let him take it back, though.  He was stuck here at this point.  Which meant what, exactly?

lovesick (the beat inside my head) by meridies

After moving to Florida, George relies on his online best friend, Dream, to help him adjust to his new school. But only a few weeks in, George falls head over heels for one of the most popular boys in school, Clay. With the help of his new wingman, Sapnap, and his best friend Dream, George tries to win Clay over.

Surely nothing about this will go wrong.

Lost in Translation by yungluv - Mature

The blaring thump of George's heart serves as an alarm, reminding him that where he crossed this line the first time there was reason. There was alcohol intoxicating his fingertips as they wound through Dream's hair, there was the excuse of a dumb college party where everyone hooks up with anyone, and there was Dream's sticky and sweet gaze on him, luring him in.

Dream's tugged away from the soft yellow glow of the hallway into the dim, shadow-plagued room, and George welcomes him lips-first.

How could this be a bad idea when Dream's lips feel like that?

Or, George's one-night stand with his least favorite person turns into a little more than that.

“My bed is cold,” he adds, unable to stop himself, and Dream glances at it.

“Shall I warm it for you?” he asks, like it’s normal, even as George’s face heats, even as George feels guilty and embarrassed but more than that wants so badly to say yes.

“Your shift has ended,” George notes quietly.

“Do you want me to warm your bed for you, Your Majesty?” Dream repeats, and George is just a man.

“George,” he says, hushed. They stare at each other. “Call me George.”

Snapdragons by lasciviess - Explicit - BDSM Relationship - Ongoing [11/16]

For a long time, George has known he loved the bite of rope against his skin, and the feeling of brightly stinging pain, but he's never had someone to help him feel it. That is, of course, until he meets Dream: tall, handsome, domineering, and all too good at making him fall to absolute pieces. And so begins an arrangement: George goes over to his flat, he's fucked within an inch of his life, spends the night, and then goes along his merry way come morning. There aren't any strings attached, and it's glorious.

As the weeks come and go, though, George begins to realize that he's starting to feel a little more than lust when it comes to his thoughts about Dream. He knows better, he really does, and he knows there's no way in hell the other feels the same, but since when does anyone really have control over their heart?

what it is (not) to lose by effervescentwolf

This George, Dream has no idea what to do with. This George, whose breathing is shallow, whose skin is flushed with fever, whose eyes are heavy with sleep, sends something so possessive through Dream he thinks it might rip him apart.

This is an exercise on self-restraint, and he fears he may fail.

or George is sick, and Dream is terribly in love with him.

take me apart and i'm whole by verdantry

George knows that Dream isn't lying when he says he loves him. It's just not the same kind of love. And Dream has learned to understand George’s affection without it being put into words. There’s no more goading, only light teasing that gets swept away the moment it might cross a line.

Things are better now. George tells himself that should be enough.

It's not enough.

Dream never liked George. From the moment he first undressed in the locker rooms and saw the tiny brunet call a large linebacker over by the wave of his hand and the sway of his hips, nothing about him was good.

Virgil looks at the ground, his ears ringing. His cheek burns from the imprint of Orange’s hand.

“I thought you were different,” he says, in the hushed quiet. “I-”

“Well,” Orange drawls. His eyes are very red when Virgil looks up. “That was your first mistake, Virgil.” He prowls closer, forcing Virgil to back up.

“You really thought we were friends?” Orange asks. His teeth are like needles in the light. “Me, friends with a faerie?” He laughs, short and sharp, and it hurts more than the slap ever could.

George’s senior year of high school goes off without a hitch — that is, until he starts receiving love letters in his locker from a secret admirer. Surely Dream, his best friend and the captain of the football team, has nothing to do with it.

in which george has a secret admirer.

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...)

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.

“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.

It’s George’s birthday, and he finally allows himself to love.

Extract:

His friend giggles above him, poking his cheek with one of his fingers, and locking his phone. “Hi, Georgie,” he says through a smile, voice light like a feather.

The Brit groans as he raises one of his hands, rubbing tiredness away from his eyes with the sleeve of his hoodie. “I thought you’d leave.”

Extract:

Dream’s always liked autumn. He thinks it’s the same color as fire, and just as threatening.

Autumn is chilly, vast, empty. There’s some unspoken magic that comes with September, and his mind seems to clear when clouds cover the sky above him.

Conveniently, George got his visa on the first day of autumn.
