Summary:

@GeorgeNotFound: Some of you are actual morons. Saying you know Dream’s “real” sexuality, and invalidating his coming out because you either don’t like him or don’t think he’s “gay enough” is embarrassing for you lmao

George is notorious for never sharing opinions. People have asked, Dream has seen countless clips of people asking his opinions on politics, other creators, and online discourse. George never takes the bait, always giving some bland deflection and moving on before anyone can call him on it. This is…unprecedented. And it’s the first time someone he doesn’t know has stood up for him publicly. Maybe he kicks his feet a little under his blankets, but no one will ever know.

Monthly Fic Roundup - February 2024

haven't been too active this month but here's your monthly recs!

as always, make sure to leave some love :]

— Turning Right on Red by jestbee (expl. | comp. | 4k) ; established relationship + car sex

George's stream has consequences.

— Drumroll, Please by starsgaze (snowdreamr) (gen | comp. | 5k) ; bed sharing + relationship study

Everything it is, and everything it isn’t. A proposal, of sorts. A half confession. Over all, the weight of wanting and the agony of bearing with it. Dream and George, deprived of meaning.

— GeorgeNotFound OnlyFans by Simplysmitten (expl. | comp. | 37k) ; sex work + secret identity

Fresh out of university and struggling to land a job in his field, George finds himself desperate for a way to make ends meet. While his friends have big dreams of blowing up on YouTube, George decides to make an OnlyFans profile. Shockingly, George goes viral on both platforms, making his money troubles a thing of the past, but maintaining his anonymity a constant worry. How funny is it that he manages to make a friend named Clay on both platforms?

— don't know how long it's going to take to feel okay (i had the best day with you today) by brokenlikeastitch (teen | comp. | 7k) ; dream's mom + established relationship

Three times George needed a mom and Dream's mom was there for him.

George is in Los Angeles and Dream is in Florida. It’s not the first time they’ve been thousands of miles apart, and Dream can’t stop thinking about one very memorable conversation they had shortly before George’s visa was approved.

— Suction by tsundanire (expl. | comp. | 1k) ; nipple play

George trusts Dream completely. Trusts him enough with his most sensitive bits.

A series of moments in Dream's life that George had always been there for him.

dream and george over the years through the perspectives of their friends

— the end of all things by womanhunt (teen | comp. | 9k) ; marriage (eloping)

“We should get married.” The words make Dream choke on the scrambled eggs in his mouth, and George just stares at him blankly as he coughs and takes a drink of his water. And, before he can overthink it, Dream gives in. “Ok, yeah. We should get married,” he nods to himself, reaching out to pull George’s hands apart and link their fingers together. “Did you mean, like, soon? Or?” “I mean, like, today.” George murmurs, eyes still not meeting Dream’s.

— my love by cqfnce (teen | comp. | 8k) ; patches the good cat

dream and george go last-minute shopping for patches' birthday

— daisies, daisies by snowdreamr (expl. | comp. | 15k) ; mpreg + future fic

On secrecy and patience. On learning how to embrace the unexpected.

— this is me trying by dizzy (teen | comp. | 5k) ; mental health issues + hopeful ending

Is this a cage? George's guts rebel against that, too. He fought to be here. This is the freedom from years of locking himself inside. He has no regrets. He doesn’t want anything to be different, except maybe that he could walk into a room without Dream or Sapnap looking at him like he’s not who they thought he was.

— Circling Back by Scoops (consciousness_streaming) (expl. | comp. | 15k) ; identity porn + coworkers

As a remote worker, George's only real friend at Pog Industries is Clay, the marketing genius who skyrocketed up the corporate ladder. Sure, maybe his work bestie is old and really bad at Fortnite, and they've never actually met, but they have each other's backs. And that's what's important. When a position on the Board opens up for George, it's Clay going to their CEO, Badboy Halo, to get him hired in the position. To George's amazement, it works. Now, he's moving to America the night before the infamous Pog Industries Christmas Party, and he's ready to put some names to faces.

— make a home on the cracks by lodestones (teen | comp. | 2k) ; baby fever + developing relationship

He’d be a good dad, Dream thinks—people are always telling him he’ll be good at it. It’s not anything all-consuming, but it’s a fantasy he still returns to every once in a while, dancing in the back of his mind whenever little kids approach him and ask for a picture. He catches himself daydreaming about it at least a thousand times more often after the first time he watches George interact with younger fans.

— George Not Found Is Stupid and Hides His Pregnancy From Dream For Two Whole Months by mario anon and apple anon (teen | comp. | 4k) ; mpreg

Hes pregnant it is all i know how to write

— executive session by dizzy (expl. | comp. | 1.7k) ; exhibitionism

Dream is a senate intern, and George is the guy he's about to fuck on the senate floor.

note: i've been fucking WAITING for someone to write a fic on this

— no thing's so sure that i can't learn to doubt it by brokenlikeastitch (teen | comp. | 11k) ; professors au

The closer he gets to George’s door, the louder the crying gets, and when he finally reaches the open doorway, he glances in to see a girl sitting across the desk from George, practically hyperventilating. In all of his years of teaching, with all of the students he’s had upset with him, Dream is pretty sure he’s never had a student this upset with him. He wonders if George is, like, torturing his students.

— The need to know by tsundanire (expl. | comp. | 5k) ; dick measuring

DRICK vs GRICK

— dear future husband by dizzy (expl. | comp. | 3k) ; breeding and housewife kink

Dream tells George that since he isn't paying rent he should at least be putting dinner on the table... and George decides to prove him right.

— it is not about me being gay with george by alisonsomething (teen | comp. | 2k) ; insecurity + miscommunication

Dream’s latest TikTok makes George angry enough to confront him about it.

— Honeysuckle Jam by gottagetshiver (expl. | comp. | 71k) ; omegaverse

George has terrible heats, he always has. He'd thought that after years of peace on suppressants, he's be done with them forever. It works, until it doesn't. The doctor says his best chance at fixing his terrible heats is having an alpha with him, and it just so happens that Dream is an alpha. It'll be easy, right? Dream will help him through his heat, and he'll be fixed. The fact that George is madly in love with Dream won't complicate matters at all, right? It won't upend their lives and throw them into chaos, right?

note: published last month but finished this month so im including it

he loves him more than anyone ever has in the history of man

What are your best florida fics in wake of this weekend?

hi anonie hope these help build up your hype!! 💪💪

follow what i'm feeling by brokenlikeastitch

The elevator takes too long, and after at least a minute waiting on the bottom floor, George gives up and drags his suitcase to the stairs. It’s hot and stuffy in the garage, Florida summer still in full swing, and George lugs the suitcase up all three flights of stairs with a strength he didn’t know he possesses. When he gets to the third floor he’s dripping sweat, but he’s so close.

The stairwell door sticks, and George practically has to kick it. It flies open, slamming into the wall with a loud bang that echoes through the mostly empty floor. No one else is there except for a figure in a maroon hoodie leaning against a still running car. It has to be Dream. George is frozen in place, several hundred feet away still, staring, and that’s when Dream seems to notice him.

“George!” Dream yells out, waving with one hand, the other still tucked in his hoodie pocket, and it kicks George into action. He lets go of the suitcase handle and takes off, backpack banging into his back over and over.

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.

14 Days in Quarantine by soyfu

George’s eyes scanned the last few lines of the email again, and again, and again.

His eyes were sore from the bright light emitting from his monitor, and he probably hasn’t blinked in a couple of minutes.

Again, and again, and again.

He reread the email frantically, repeatedly clicking open the attachment to ensure that he was seeing things correctly. The dark letters spelling ‘approved’ didn’t change.

It was 4 in the morning and he’d been awake for just over 22 hours, so he was half expecting this to all just be some fatigue-induced hallucination.

So far, things seemed to be real.

--------------------

As George spends his 14 days of government mandated self-isolation alone in a hotel room, long-suppressed feelings start to bubble up, giving him much to think about before finally seeing his best friend's face in person.

the person that sent you this by luckylikeyou

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."

the spaces between words by effervescentwolf - Explicit

“You should’ve seen him after we finally talked about you moving here.” Sapnap smiles at the memory. “He kissed Patches and he kissed me, on the cheek,” Sapnap adds with a glance in his direction, “and then he immediately called his mom and told her while pacing around the living room, and she knew, you know? Mom instinct.”

“Knew what?” George whispers. Sapnap looks at him for a second.

“He gets touchy,” Sapnap says, but George understands it’s his way of answering his question.

“I once asked him if he had feelings for you.”

-

or George ever so slowly allows himself to be completely and utterly in love with Dream.

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.

falling into you by effervescentwolf

Dream’s brain is a place full of many wonders and many more excuses, so he opens his mouth and simply says the first thing that comes to his mind, completely seriously.

“I’m in love with you.”

What.

WHAT.

-

or Dream accidentally confesses he's in love with George. The only issue is he isn't. Right?

and alternatively, Dream radiates himbo energy while George takes pity on his massive obliviousness

Summary:

Three times George needed a mom and Dream's mom was there for him. - George has had Dream’s mum’s number for as long as he can remember. He messaged her on stream once, years before he actually has any real reason to message her, and when he opens his mostly empty text thread with her, it’s staring him in the face. Back then it was a harmless joke. There was no way he could’ve known he’d actually need the number one day. Hi this is your son’s boyfriend.

Sapnap pov?

a series of gradual revelations by dizzy

The first time Nick should think maybe something else is going on, it's because Dream is singing his shower songs.

but see, i'm with you by twostorms

“I’m scared,” Dream whispers into the pillow, and it feels like more of an admittance to himself than Sapnap, but Sapnap rubs his back reassuringly anyway. “And I know that’s so dumb. Because it’s just George. But-”

“But it’s George.”

or; sapnap realizes that some things, like the love his best friends have for one another, were never even a question worth asking.

now i'm all about you by newheart

Sapnap knows it’s none of his business but sometimes he sort of feels like it is his business.

Like when they’re giggling and teasing each other like they were after Dream officially declared them as friends, all right in front of him. Or when they spend an entire lunch break arm wrestling with George putting his entire body weight into the challenge and Dream letting him get away with it, wheezing and emphasising their difference in strength. Or when George gets a ride home with Dream instead of taking the bus home even though they live in opposite directions.

Or, Sapnap makes new friends and watches them fall in love

they don't know how special you are from they don't know about us series by brokenlikeastitch

“Dream!” George yelled across the field. His voice was raw and the rage sent a chill down Sapnap’s spine, “Get your fucking shit together!”

The ref’s head whipped around, “Watch your mouth, 14.”

George rolled his eyes and turned back to Dream, “I’m serious, pull it together or we’re putting Ranboo in.”

No one mentioned that Sam was partially at fault too or that George definitely didn’t have complete power over substitutions, it was that intimidating.

-

Dream and George are weird together, but Sapnap and the other freshmen are the only ones to see it. Sapnap doesn't get it.
