this is super specific but also broad at the same time do you have any recs with super pathetic sopping wet cat levels of pining as the main focus like i need one or both of them MISERABLY in assumed unrequited love

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.

[or, george falling in love with dream a million times over]

Since we r talking about Angelbeachcat I think everyone should read Cortisol

soo true angel supremacy

cortisol by angelbeachcat

Dream and George, best friends and partners at a private national security organization try to keep their work life separated from their friendship. They’re a remarkable team; George is a quick thinker and good on his feet, and Dream is the strongest and fastest person the world has to offer. The problem is that Dream has no regard for his own safety, and George is madly in love with him.

Monthly Fic Roundup - February 2023

baths, intimacy, and the kind of love found only in candlelight.

— strike us like matches by tippysleeps (expl. | comp. | 8k)

“Shut up,” George says, again, as Dream scrolls. “You have a spreadsheet,” Dream says, redundantly. His eyes catch on the titles that fill the cells, the columns, the rows, the links. There are even numbers. “You have functions.” He tilts back in the chair, looking up at George. “What are the functions for?”

— like nothing ever happened by Anonymous (mature | comp. | 11k)

Dream meets a sweet guy in the Twitchcon party who, funnily enough, is not very into social media and has no idea who he is. They decide to give it a try, despite how dangerous it might be (for Dream, what it is to expose yourself in any way. For Evan, what it is to fall for someone already in love). On the sidelines, George goes fucking insane.

— Wake Up Slowly (Take It From Me Whole) by sageafk, snowdreamr (teen | comp. | 12k)

“Dr’m,” George whimpers, burying his face further into the pillows, and hugging them close to his chest. He hears the rustle of fabric, of his friend getting out of bed. “George?” He asks, his tone ten times more urgent than before. “What do you need?” “‘M sick,” he mumbles, not even making an attempt to keep his eyes open anymore. “R’lly sick. Help me.”

Dream and George had known each other since they were four, but neither of them planned to become national tennis superstars in high school. The pressure gets worse when they find out that they might have been in love this whole time.

— romantic curses and how to break them by brokenlikeastitch (teen | comp. | 18k)

George is cursed, like there’s no other logical explanation. With every wedding invite he receives, it only solidifies his theory.

George loses his scholarship that allowed him to move across the Atlantic and attend school on the sun-soaked shores of Florida, and he has to fight tooth and nail to get it back.

— Wheel of Fate Challenge - DNF Favorites and First Times

In this collection, we challenged ourselves to write tropes that we've never tried before or maybe just don't have a lot of experience with. We spun two wheels this time: one with these new-to-us tropes and another with some of our favorite tropes to write. Our fics had to include both of the tropes the Wheels of Fate chose for us. We hope you enjoy these stories. Leave a kudos and comment if you did!

note: make sure to read all the fics in this collection! theyre solid

camping dnf

— need you here to stay by quartzfia (teen | comp. | 5k)

— insufferable (except when you're not) by honkdaddyy (expl. | comp. | 5k)

Sapnap invites Dream to go camping. What Dream doesn't know is that his self-proclaimed enemy is tagging along as well.

— summer smokes, bright heavens by FraustiButBad (expl. | comp. | 15k)

Dream hates how Sapnap and Punz, his best friends and the most annoying (he doesn’t mean that) couple on this entire planet, have to drag him onto a camping trip.

— Kainokai by androm__eda (expl. | comp. | 15k)

Clay convinces George to go camping with him, Karl, Nick, and Alex, but it's not his fault all of the tents look the same, right? Plus, it's only for a couple of nights.

George,

Be my (pretend) Valentine's date?

<3 Dream

George gets broken up with right before Valentine's Day. Dream volunteers to take him out on a Valentine's Day date to cheer him up. Just as friends. Right?

Kiss Me, Kiss Me

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.”
