DNB fic recs?

I HAVE MANY. HOLD ON- wait, wait, my recommendations are really old though, and it seems like you already read it ;-; BUT STILL, HERE ARE MY RECOMMENDATIONS (with a little bit of my thoughts about it). enjoy! ^^

---

They aren't married- right? - itʼs ranboo centric where he “tries” to convince himself that mr. dream and mr. techno are not married. itʼs really, really soft with a bit of bantering that makes it hilarious to read. iʼm not a fan of the ending though, feels like itʼs unnecessary but it was still okay. great even! thereʼs also a bit of bench trio dynamic so thatʼs a plus!

sweetest downfall - itʼs nsfw so please watch out! (and yes, i know iʼm a minor. you donʼt have to say it) the nsfw part will be on chapter 4 (about 3/4 (0.75) of it), and there are also chapter 5--the whole chapter is about implied nsfw so, yeah, watch out? and about my thoughts on it... itʼs really, really sweet. iʼm not going to spoil those who havenʼt see it, but the concept of dream saying “you are my universe” to techno is... how do i say this? definitely beautiful. we also have george, btw, because he canʼt just leave the fun, can he? *winks*

The best method to get a royal family - now this. remember the technoroyaldad (did i say that right?) au on twitter? with ranboo being his son and deam being a mercenary? well... i think we have a romantic version of that, and this is that! the dynamic between techno and dream is what i lived for whenever i read that. it will definitely make your day! although itʼs still not finished, the wait every chapter is really worth it! ranbaby is so cute! i wish i can keep him ;-;

The Devil Made me do it (but I also Kinda Wanted to) - this... this is one of the best royal au iʼve read so far. seriously! the world building is top tier, and yes! itʼs also fantasy au with dragons and mage-kind-of-humans. the dynamic between the dragon and dream is so cute >< disney princess dream but heʼs with dragon! btw there are also nsfw in this, but donʼt worry! the plot and the smut ones are separate from each other by chapters. so, if you donʼt want to read the nsfw part, then feel free!

A Pig & Blob - i can not just leave this, come on. lili deserves the recognition! this story are one shot/two shots/three shots (or maybe even four shots) in one book! i canʼt give you the depth of the stories, but you need to know that all of them are amazing. especially the royal au where dream was hunter and now technoʼs knight. you need to read it!

Babyblade Universe - my first ever dnb with a baby au! i havenʼt read the part 1 of the series yet, but the part 2 and 3--i really recommend it. itʼs just... really, really adorable. and of course, itʼs not just dnb but the other members of dmsp as well! the meeting between them and the baby is *chefʼs kiss* and for the part 2, just watch out for the emotional hurt, because it really hurt me when i read it. but donʼt worry, itʼs happy ending!

I'd Bleed For You (tell me you'll do the same) - the amount of love i have with this fic is too much, and iʼm not even complaining. i love this as a whole because the concept is just *sighs* and the established relationship between dream and techno? i will die because of it. the miscommunication hurt me a bit but it was all good! and the ending? the whole chapter 3? I WILL LIVE FOR IT! and yes, itʼs god!dream and god!techno.

to marry a dream - you donʼt know how much i love this thing. the pace of the story is so good that you wonʼt even get bored. the whole thing is the embodiment of the word “beautiful” (iʼm probably exaggerating, but the point still stands). everything about it is amazing. i just... couldnʼt get enough of it. itʼs arranged marriage between dream and techno! and iʼm dying because of it (/pos).

Dreamnoblade Family Fics - itʼs another dnb family fics but instead of a baby, itʼs kid!corpse and kid!ranboo. the whole family thing about them is really cute >< itʼs implied mpreg, btw (with dream being the one who was pregnant). we also have interactions between phil, ranboo and corpse! with phil, of course, being a good grandfather to them. i love him ;-; the backstory between dream and techno really explains everything, but i recommend reading the whole series by when it was published.

you are in love (true love) - this is also one of my favorites! itʼs like a poetry, honestly and i love everything about it. itʼs so descriptive and beautiful. i just... i wonʼt even going to say anything. just read it, and you will understand me.

golden bands and gloves - secret relationship my beloved. itʼs too cute to not recommend it. and the whole “iʼm worried for him, but i trust him” thing is heartbreaking but in a positive way. they are married, btw!

- (at this point, iʼm too loss for words. i already wrote too much. iʼm just going to put links and put my short thoughts about it ;-;)

You are the reason - ender hybrid!dream and piglin hybrid!techno? count me in! i love the pining between the two of them. you wonʼt get frustrated, donʼt worry. itʼs actually very cute! edit: i literally forgot... this has nsfw part! itʼs just towards the end though, but still--i shouldʼve said it the first time ._. thereʼs also a lot of disc duo interaction; itʼs really cute.

in your eyes holds the truth(don't hide them from me) - ever heard of star-tear disease? a disease like hanahaki? well, if you havenʼt... this is a nice start to get familiar with it! there are also least 2-3 more fics about it but this is the one that really holds a special place in my heart ;-; itʼs royalty au *winks*

En Passant - mafia au pog?? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA i seriously love this with all my heart (including others of course)! and the tension between the two of them? I MIGHT DIE. LIKE SERIOUSLY! (/POS) read it! read itttttt!

Witness me, Old Man, I am the Wild - it was so cute and so adorable. oblivious dream and brute techno?? count me in, genuinely! the pace wasnʼt boring and the plot was serious intriguing. and the tension between them? amazing af *chefʼs kiss*

It's Too Cold For You Here - and of course, we can not leave a fic made by scout themselves. come on! heʼs literally a goddess, and you wonʼt convince me otherwise :D and yes, another arranged marriage because why the hell not?

It Must be Killing Me - another star-tear disease au! enough with hanahaki, shall we? star-tear disease also deserves recognition. and itʼs also from scout herself! this one, and the fic above are two of my favorites scoutʼs fics so far!

An Unending Brevity - i donʼt know if you already saw my carrd, but this thing right here... IS THE BEST (for me, at least). ITʼS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE, SERIOUSLY! everything about it is beautiful. i fell in love with it the moment i read it. so beautiful it hurts. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

For you I walk through hell - ha! mythology au? eros and psyche? beautiful. just straight up beautiful. seriously. i couldnʼt form words, but itʼs beautiful. AND ITʼS UNDERRATED. I HATE IT. I HATE IT. IT DESERVES RECOGNITION!

twenty-one summers - i forgot to include this and i hate myself for it. this should be here. this should be here a long, long time ago. why? because it deserves it! it holds the title number 2 to my favorite fics that has poetry kind of thing (one of my favorites written works out there). plus, itʼs prince!techno and knight!dream again! i canʼt leave those, can i?

White Christmas - of course we need to have a christmas fic because who wouldnʼt?! it was very, very cute. dream was such a simp for techno, but you know, techno is very much simpable (donʼt know if that was actually a word), and i can very much attest to that. anyway, itʼs also from scout! which we all know that every fic he made is amazing! it was also kinda like cottagecore...? well, technoʼs a farmer and dream was from the city.

Of Gods and Worship - this thing... was so... intimate. like, the whole fic, the whole concept about it was so intimate, in a way where it hurt because it was so beautiful. technoʼs a god and dreamʼs a priest who worships him... and it was just... idk! iʼm loss for words. just read it, istg, please read it!

Peculiar Feeling - i donʼt know if the link would work since itʼs locked, but can i please just say that it was beautiful??? it wasnʼt beautiful like the others fics that iʼve read, yet there is a certain charm about it that can make you feel... things. the dialogue in the ending killed me.

so dawn goes down to day (nothing gold can stay) - i was never down to read fanfic(s) that has major character death, but this thing... it was—it was probably the only exemption. I FUCKING CRIED. did you hear me? i. fucking. cried. because. of. it. and i know that iʼm sensitive af, but i appreciate many things that had made me cried. the fanfic was a like poetry. and it was about colors, nature, best friends, life, promises. it was beautiful in a way where even though it may not make you cry, the amount of feelings and thoughts the writer put into it would make you appreciate it. because i certainly did. one word for this fic: beautiful.

And then they were neighbors - techno was a such a simp *sobs* and it was so adorable. he literally lured one of dreamʼs cat just to talk him. and the amount of serotonin i got from this one was too, too much. dream was such a pretty guy. the way techno described him when he saw him the first time is just *screams* (/affectionate). i canʼt get enough of this ;-;

A Hero's Lament - i, and iʼm saying this with so much anger, hate myself for noticing this fic just now. GENUINELY. the world building is so top-tier, burj khalifa would bow down, and no, iʼm not exaggerating. reincarnation (or isekai...?) au, superhero and villain au, slow burn au all in one?? COUNT ME IN. but seriously though, the fic is so adorable with dream trying his best to blend in with his new world. and, god, please, the slow burn is literally a slow burn. they were barely romance in there and iʼm loving it. also, thank prime itʼs not those superhero and villain au fics where dream is a villain, because heʼ definitely not. dudeʼs just trying his best; leave him alone ;-; CLINGY DUO + DREAM AND MD??? CHEFʼS KISS* this fic became one of my all time favorite fics. my words are not enough to give justice to this fic. READ IT, please.

you fall, we rise - you donʼt know how much i hate myself because i just found this au like, right now. IF SAMMY DID NOT MENTIONED THIS FIC I WOULDNʼT KNOW IT EXISTED IN THE FIRST PLACE! (i did watched the first movie of pacific rim first since i genuinely did not understand the notes the author put in. and iʼm glad i did watch it first). now... the story. probably one of the best alternative universe iʼve ever read so far. the pace was genuinely amazing. (i did not think iʼll be reading a 12k words of fanfic that has the alternative universe from the movie who have like 2 hour and half watching time) the author did an amazing job keeping the pace not slow and also not fast. for the romance, it did not feel cliché at all, since itʼs supposed to be an action fanfic. the author did also a good job for keeping the romance between techno and dream not early in the fanfic. their relationship development was beautiful. especially the one where dream apologized to techno (if you read it, youʼll know what iʼm saying). this is getting too long *sighs* seriously though, it was a pleasure to read a fanfic like that. been a while since iʼve read one *bows to the author*

A Cresent Moon - i recently just read this; i was so late. i shouldʼve read this long, long time ago but i didnʼt because i was afraid. well, itʼs a streamer au; explains why i was scared of reading it. but you know what, i donʼt care. the read was so worth it, i would even recommend it to you. besides, itʼs still their personas so back the fuck off if you think itʼs not. even sammy explain it in here. anyway, the fic was really wonderful. like a refreshment for a hell-week that happened in my school. the dynamic between techno and dream was written so good. and the manhunt chapter was my comfort chapter (itʼs still is) even though there were a lot of second-hand embarrassment i felt. but just like i said IT WAS WORTH IT. DEFINITELY. and the last chapter? *chefʼs kiss* IT WAS LIKE A POETRY (and if you actually read my thoughts in here, you know that fics that are written like poetry is one of my favorite type of fics out there) and it was so beautiful. i donʼt want to spoil anything but... the way techno proposed to dream is hilarious and teary at the same time /affectionate. you should really read it.

Take me up when I'm down ('cause with you I'm safe and sound) - thatʼs a long title... anyway, 5+1 (well, itʼs actually 4+1) fic recommendation! iʼve never been a fan of 5+1, honestly. not like i dislike it, itʼs just not my cup of tea. HOWEVER, this one, this fic, right here, is all i need for me to take 5+1 seriously. plus, itʼs short!dream, i just need to read it. AND IʼM GLAD I DID. secret relationship? check. size difference? check. disney princess!dream (kinda)? check. a hint of jealously and protectiveness (if that is even a word)? check. the right amount of humor? big check! itʼs almost perfect *chefʼs kiss* (there are sex jokes so please, if you donʼt want that... get back, right now)

Beyond Beastly - i was a bit skeptical to finish this fic before since i often got bored with its pace, but honestly, iʼm very thankful i finished it. there are a lot of beauty and the beast au out there, like seriously. iʼve read some of them and none actually caught my attention. well, maybe except for this fic. anyway, yeah, i got a bit bored at the beginning to the middle since itʼ going nowhere, but the scene before the ball and afterwards... it all came crashing down. everything came into place; everything is connected in some way. and for that one comment i saw that said, “flowers from 1970 could never,” i salute you. because it was true. the ending was a bit... eh, but honestly, i couldnʼt ask for more.

Ends, Justified - after a day and a half, i finally got the courage to read past chapter 11 (youʼll know why i had to take a break) and it was so worth it. i hate angst, donʼt get me wrong, but there are some fanfics that makes it... worthy enough to read; this is one of those fics. and the ending in chapter 13? believe me, i died because of it. the epilogue is bit bland to me since i did not know the things they did after the ending, like the whole talking between dream and techno. but you know, it was quite satisfying to see how both of them come in to terms after the things that happened between them and the world around them. probably one of them best superhero/villain au iʼve read next to a heroʼs lament.

Good At Hiding It, Though - i... i love it. i genuinely love it. i never thought i would like actor au this much. itʼs so... precious and i canʼt help but coo at both them. and the ending? that perfect ending? *chefʼs kiss* i would very much like to read it over and over again. so, is there any dnb actor au out there that i donʼt know about? please, please, tell me about it.

for who could ever learn (to love a beast) - i am... SCREAMING WITH HOW MUCH POTENTIAL THIS AU HAS. manhunt, and beauty and the beast all in one?? DONʼT MIND IF I DO. iʼm waiting for the next chapter, iʼm waiting. and iʼm keeping the author down my basement, btw :D

The duel - okay... hear me out. i know thereʼs a lot of duel fics out there, but this—this is DGHASYHAUSDUJAJSJSJDJF LIKE HOLY SHIT. I DID NOT EXPECT IT TO BE LIKE THAT. *CHEFʼS KISS* itʼs pretty and itʼs beautiful.

How Far Do We Have To Run To Forget The Pain? - never knew i would be reading angst, but here we are. and honestly, i donʼt know what to say. AND I CRIED COUPLE OF TIMES BECAUSE OF IT *SCREAMS* why did i even read it in the first place? iʼm just torturing myself. but you know, angst is angst. i need a thing that will make me feel things after a lot of fluff.

Nice to Meet You? - look... i donʼ t know the love story between hades and persephone because i havenʼt look at it yet on the internet, but iʼm pretty sure i can enjoy this ESPECIALLY WHEN ITʼS DNB. theyʼre so awkward and cute *sobs* and patches as cerberus? count me in. also, thereʼs a little bit of... spice if you will look for it *smirks* you can miss it though, better luck next time then!

Something That I Want - tangled au... tangled au... TANGLED AU!!! HSJAHSJAJDJDKJFKSJSJAJDHAJJDJD FINALLY, FUCKING FINALLY! ITʼS HERE, ITʼS HERE. AND THE WORLD BUILDING? *CHEFʼS KISS* and as much as i hate to say this, i have high expectations of it; so far, itʼs good! *nods head*

(after being offline for weeks, iʼm finally updating this because i have read fics when i was procrastinating instead of doing my school activities. yay for me! ^-^)

a little wasted (but you make it work) - another superheo au just because! and dreamʼs a hero so i really canʼt just go past that. and oh, they are roommates. wait... THEY ARE ROOMMATES? yes, well, we donʼt know how long is that going to be but at least theyʼre roommates. and syndicate too! with wilbur and tommy because we canʼt leave sbi.

Just to See You Smile - first ever bodyguard au that iʼve read and itʼs so HDAKJSJAJSKAJDJDHJAKAKSKF and the little confession in the end? iʼm on the floor right now and squealing. that was really cute and sweet!

and that was when i kissed him - streamer au, my guilty pleasure. we need more streamer au, iʼm threatening all of you to make one (/lh). but seriously though, i canʼt remember much of this but the little reveal of their relationship in the end is so *sobs*

Love as The Cause of Death - hades and persephone au everyone! WE GOT ANOTHER ONE! and itʼs from the same person that gave me an a fic-ask about the server urging techno to confess to dream, fionna! their love story is *nods head* and the way they parted their ways after they got married is so *SOBS*

Did a God Just Set Us Up? - the blood god shipping techno and dream together fic? count me in! and the fact that techno is someone so special to the blood god that he even encourages techno to be with dream is so cute >-< and the god succeeded!

To Build A Home - tommy, tubbo, and ranboo setting dream and techno together so they can be a family and play all the time? MY BELOVED. techno and dream even knew about it and they did not do anything to stop it. i can smell something, whatʼs that? oh, was that secret crush? seems like it!

we got nothing to lose and each other to gain - i donʼt remember much of it but i remember my heart aching. but the tag says open ending so i guess thatʼs reassuring to all of you. seriously though, this is a short one-shot but the curse concept? i would die if need to die just so i can read a fic like this again.

Of Rituals and Relations - okay, i canʼt even begin to describe how much i love this thing. EVERYTHING ABOUT IS SO HDJAJSKAJDJDHDJDJJAJSDJJSJS (spoiler) AND THE FACT THAT DREAM AND TECHNO HAD A PAST TOGETHER AND NOW DREAM IS TRYING TO CUT OF HIS ATTACHMENT WITH HIM? holy shit. dreamʼs a witch here, btw, and techno got cursed now phil tried oto get dreamʼs help to get techno back, and now everyone comes crashing down. and xd is terrifying.

Through the Ice and Snow - itʼs so cute that endearing would be an understatement *sobs* polarbear!techno and fox!dream? iʼm crying on the floor. techno even called dream foxy in the end AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA they are so cute i canʼt ;-;

postmortal - i literally read this series while listening to my playlist for like reading romance and stuff AND I—ITʼS PERFECT. there was even this point where dream was sleeping beside techno because his tent was literally destroyed because of a storm and he was like... you know, the stuff, AND THEN, AND THEN, BUTTERFLIES BY ABE PARKER WAS PLAYING DBAKSJJAJSKAJDKAJAJAJSKSJDJSA IʼM DYING ACK-

Red Asters - i have never read any mafia and florist au but... this thing? excellently beautiful. and the scene where they met the first time? amazing *chefʼs kiss* they are such a simp and honestly, i canʼt blame them. also, this is the second time i have read dream being a florist and techno is like, “can you make me a bouquet that means fuck you or something?” the first one was from liliʼs book and this is the second one. itʼs still hilarious ;-; and i kinda of did not like the scene where techno came with a dead body and they all seemed... calm, especially dream. but i donʼt know, i mean, he did think that techno is a mafia at some point *shrugs* but the ending though? *CHEFʼS KISS*

Make This Place Your Home - another family dynamic for our somnitrio just because! this fic is so freaking cute, like genuinely. i canʼt even express how much iʼm squealing right now because of this. LIKE READ IT, ISTG, YOU WILL THROW UP WITH HOW MUCH SWEETNESS IS THERE. and they became a family in the end AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA *SOBS*

Talons and Half-Empty Souls - this fic... HOW IS SO UNDERRATED??? EXCUSE ME?? ITʼS LIKE THE BEST THING EVER IN A WHILE! DNB AS DRAGONS, HELLO???? AND SOULMATES??? WITH A PINCH OF HURT/COMFORT??? ITʼS EVERYTHING AND ITʼS PERFECT. iʼm threatening all of you to read this *points a water gun at you* (hj)

A Song in Ice - another arranged marriage (kind of) because why the hell not? ALSO, HOW COME I ONLY GOT TO KNOW THIS FIC RIGHT NOW??? if it werenʼt for ryʼs fanfics recs i wouldnʼt discover this thing. and itʼs excellent; the fact that after their wedding, even though dream is a royal consort, they just talked. like nothing happened in their chambers like other arranged marriage au fics i read (itʼs like a new flavored cookie that i havenʼt tasted before and i liked it when i got to taste it) *chefʼs kiss*

The Server's Input on How to Wingman - i just found out that prophecy anon posted this on ao3 so here i am, very late on adding this on my recommendation list. anyway, this is such a nice concept to me, i hope someone can make something like this in the future. and yes, iʼm not going to give my review here since i already did. so if youʼre curious about my review, itʼs here! edit: this fanfic is about the server shipping techno with dream btw.

How Am I Supposed to Pretend? - i was bored in my ap class since we were talking about politics and stuff like that so i figured i should reread dnb fanfics. and iʼm glad i did. this fanfic is such a... *chefʼs kiss* i actually hate myself for listing this here right now. like, come on, secret relationship??? i would die.

First Love - *taps on the mic* everyone, please, i know that i'm supposed to be finishing my research paper, but i have a very valid reason why i procrastinated. drum roll please *drum rolls* WE HAVE ANOTHER DNB AS FAMILY FIC! ah yes, the screams of joy. but that's not all, it's also a streamer au! seriously speaking though, this fic is so fucking adorable you wouldn't even believe me. and babyboo?? MY BELOVED.

the world could end with you - okay, i don't know the title of this one but i figured i should name it after the song that i requested so that's that. anyway, there aren't any rules that my recommendations should only come from ao3 so i'm listing it here. this is my first time reading a dnb fic with the world ending au AND I'M NOT DISAPPOINTED AT ALL. and, i know, that i'm very, very dramatic (courtesy of my mom), but i teared up. oh to have someone by your side while the world is ending around you.

Finding You Again - this has been on my bookmarks for a long time and i just realized it wasn't here on my recommendation list. this is abo so watch out for anyone who doesn't like abo universe. anyway, this fic has a really nice plot; every time it updates i can't wait to read the next one already. george's here too and he has some real issues he needs to let go. and ranboo and primrose are really getting along even when they just met each other (perks of having the same parents i guess- oops, spoilers)

the skies we're under - i kinda hate myself for just discovering this but hey, at least i did discover it. and yep, it's family au again because why not. ranboo is really cute (but his biological parents are shits; dream and techno are there though so *nods head*). this has been my comfort fic when i took a break, and it definitely shows why.

---

Through Dance I Find You (Through Love I Know You) - a royalty au! it's been a whole since i've read one so reading this is really precious ;-; it's also 5+1! and both of them are prince here; oblivious princes, btw. they're both idiots *rolls eyes* i also love the concept! and the fact that i think techno knows dream is a prince even before they met is high. like seriously. especially after they actually met each other for the first time. or maybe i'm the idiot one *shrugs*

Busted - another secret relationship because why not???? and you know, to fully experience it, i actually played the song “they don't know about us” by 1d, and it was like the best decision i have ever made. this fic is pretty cute, seriously. and we have tommy's pov this time, so it's a plus (i've always wondered how tommy will take it if he learnt that techno and dream are dating). and the ending??? *chef's kiss*

anddddddd, weʼre done! phew, that was a lot. those are the things i really recommend to read if you are new to the dnb fandom. (i’m going to add more recommendations in the future if i find another fic that i really like :D)

also, before i wrap things up, please remember that this is just my preference. every fanfics/fanarts about dnb are unique and definitely beautiful in their own. i also love many dnb fanfics out there; these are just the things that really stuck in my mind for so long to the point of not forgetting them. every person has different preferences, so please donʼt take it seriously. if you want, you can also ask other dnb shipper ^^

(also, i did not recommend any nsfw (that are really nfsw, except for that one) fics, because you know... actually, should i make an explicit recommendation? wouldnʼt tumblr sue me though? i donʼt know ;-;)

(also, this is getting too long and itʼs very laggy(?) whenever i edit it. i should probably make a part 2 instead of adding things to this. still just a thought though.)
