Vital Convict childcare au note: c!George, once he's in the picture (once c!Dream realizes XD effectively accidentally locked George in a coma), starts out annoyed by Michael's existence. Because Michael existing prevents George from just taking Dream back and hiding him away from the rest of the world. He ponders child murder for at least a little bit before deciding it'd be too hard and not worth getting caught. Also Dream can bring back the dead so it wouldn't even last long.
Michael, on the other hand, fucking loves George. There is no good reason for this behind Dream speaking fondly of George, and also Michael thinking that he looks really cool. Plus, the mushrooms remind him of home (in the nether) where red mushrooms meant safety and good snacks.
Since George can't get away with murder, and because Michael is a very well behaved child (for him) he eventually warms up to him and learns that spending time with Michael is an easy way to also get time with Dream. Plus, admittedly, Michael grows on him after awhile. Also it's very funny watching Techno be bound to the whims of a toddler (particularly when Techno can't pick a fight with George or Michael will be upset by it).
Since theres talk abt omegaverse in the dash, maybe you guys should check out the omegaverse mix n' match series i wrote with a friend abt nsfw dnf in different a/o combos o77
Idk who hacked George’s account but if this happens to not be hacked and this is actually George then…GEORGE HENRY DAVIDSON! STOP GIVING US THIS FALSE DNF HOPE!
Because there was a hand with his string attached to it, and they both knew how it was destined to end.
“Can I test you on that?” George asked. “You not kicking me out?”
With that one question, Dream knew he could never escape fate for all he’d ever tried. Because this, right here, right now, was fate, and he had beautiful brown eyes and a smile like the sun.
“Always,” Dream said, the word catching in his throat.

Born with a gray string promising a doomed love, Dream visits George in London pre-visa, a little too angry at fate and infatuated with his best friend.
