There are quite a few good dnf fics but finding them in the thousands of works under the dnf tag on ao3 is a struggle, ngl...

SADF was... definitely one of the better fics in terms of writing quality but it was way too long and stretched out. I felt like the plot could be resolved in half the word count and it would improve the pacing.

Anyway, are you taking any more recommendations and do you have any good fics you managed to find and would share?

kay i'll check it out but keep that in mind. i'd definitely be open to recommendations, tho i might not get to them anytime soon bc i tend to just read whatever sounds good to me atm rather than going in any kind of order. i really only have one dnf fic i feel like didn't make me cringe in some way but i still felt like it was kinda out of character so i don't really wanna recommend it (i need to protect my brand lol).

#if you're willing to get a little weird with fandoms i can rec you fics that will knock your socks off #asks #there's definitely some wack writing in dnf but some of them i think i'm honestly not giving a fair shot because of the wack plots #i think part of it is that all au fics for dnf feel super weird #like no sorry dream and george do not work at a gamestop together. they do not go to high school together. they were not childhood friends #maybe it's that i've never seen dream so i can't imagine him doing stuff like that #or maybe it's that i can't imagine george having moved to the usa before now because then he would have a different personality y'know?#like once you start changing some things you have to account for ripple effects which sometimes you don't necessarily want #canon compliant and canon divergent ftw #especially since the 'source material' if you will for dnf is so thematically rich it's literally like a trope/au in and of itself #like why are you putting them in college when you have the already epic story of longtime friends who flirt and one has never seen the other #and is moving halfway across the world to live with him #sorry but no au will live up to that
