One Chance To Make A First Impression

Hi!! Do you possibly know of any fics where dnf either has a language difference or speak multiple or are learning together? Anything language based really. Tysm!

i could only find french ones for some reason. anybody else got recs?

language related dnf fics

— the idiot's route to confessing a crush by crimsvn (teen | comp. | 8k)

Dream had a crush on George, but he was also much too scared to act on it. So instead, like the complete and utter fool he was, in order to get to know George better through one-on-one time together, Dream gets George to tutor him in a language he already speaks. His first language, in fact.

note: in tandem by the same author also kind of fits!

— Les âmes sœurs se retrouvent toujours (Soulmates always find each other) by Eagle9 (teen | comp. | 2k)

Soulmate AU where when the youngest of a pair of soulmates turns 18, they wake up in the oldest’s bed.

— je t'aime by Spencer097 (teen | comp. | 10k)

George's first language is French and for his entire friendship with Dream, he's been telling him things in French. One day, Dream decides to learn French to understand what George has been telling him.

Hi ! Can you recommend me some fics where either Dream or George or both struggle with realizing they are not straight. Or maybe ones where them being gay for each other is a big deal or main focus of the story ?

I'm pretty new to this ship is there any the best of the best list of fanfiction ? Or any particular one I just have to read ?

I prefer longer ones like at least 5 000 words but anything would be great.

Many thanks, hope you have great day :D (sorry if it's to much requests at once)

hi anon!! welcome to the fandom! generally, if you go on ao3 and sort by most hits you'll get the fandom popular ones. heat waves, accelerate, dear dream, etc.

as for ur request, mixture of sexuality crisis/realization and internalized homophobia fics!

post you blues by Anonymous - CW Internalized Homophobia

George's just standing there, old Rolling Stones tee thrown haphazardly on, but his hair is wild and his scruff's growing out again and his eyes are dulled with sleep but bright all the same, and Dream can't do anything but sit there and oh fucking no, because this isn't meant to happen. There are guidelines. Dream can't be fucking attracted to his long-term best friend.

(But oh god, if he could sit back and let George crawl into his lap and watch his face as he slings his arms around Dream's neck and maybe kiss up his jawline a little...)

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.

anything (want you to have it) by squigly

“You never know, man,” Sapnap says, sitting back in his seat when Dream finally parks his car. “If we’re talking about dudes—”

“We were never talking about dudes,” Dream says.

“Yeah we fuckin’ were,” Sapnap says. “The girl’s dad. George, or whatever his name was. Didn’t you say you liked looking at him?”

Dream and George's kids get into fights a lot. This means, of course, that they have to see a lot of each other.

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.

Catholic Boys by richietozlr - Mature & Ongoing - CW Internalized Homophobia & Transphobia, Heavy Religious Imagery

George's senior year is supposed to be uneventful. He's supposed to spend his afternoons with his best friends Quackity and Niki in the shitty local diner, talking and joking around until they're kicked out. He's supposed to act like somebody he isn't so he can graduate from his quaint little Catholic school and move on. That's the plan. That's how it's supposed to go.

Until George meets Dream. He hates everything about him.

A Catholic school, coming-of-age AU featuring closeted transman George, a very confused pining Dream, a supportive Niki, and a healthy serving of Karlnapity.

so many options (but i only want you) from options series by itsallfutile

What isn’t apart of his typical post party ritual is stumbling across his best friend’s profile during his mindless swiping. He knows Dream has had his fair share of dates and hookups, he’s in his twenties and the president of a Fraternity after all. But he can’t shake the weird feeling bubbling in his chest as he stares at the ‘Clay, 21’ on his screen and he decides to lock his phone, as if that would stop the feelings clawing up his throat.

Protector

Summary: Virgil’s entire job is to protect Thomas, and he takes that job very seriously.  The core sides might argue too seriously.  The core sides don’t know that there are actual dangerous sides he needs to protect Thomas from.  But there’s another side he needs to protect too.  He used to be able to count on help from Janus, who did the job without even knowing it back when he still lived with them.  But now Virgil and Remus are alone, and they have to look out for each other, which means the last thing that Virgil should do is leave his brother by himself.

Too bad it’s not exactly his choice.

Author’s Note: Hey, read the trigger warnings for this one.  Not everything comes up in every chapter, but when it does, I’m not messing around.  Please be very careful with this one if the warnings are something that’s going to bother you, and if you don’t read it, I won’t be mad.

That being said, welcome to my massive love letter to brotherly dukexiety.  These two are such amazing brothers and if I have to write my own monster of a fic to make everyone else see it, that’s exactly what I’ll do.  It’s finished already, so welcome back to your regularly scheduled Sunday morning updates.  Hope you enjoy!

And as a last note, absolutely all the credit to @shadowling-guistical, who was there for me to scream to and who cheered me on and got just as excited about this story as I did the whole time it was being written.  Mishii, I am not exaggerating in the slightest when I say this story would not exist without you.

Meant just for you by Vxndetta

“I’ve– I’ve wanted to marry you since we were kids. I’ve wanted to marry you since you taught me how to tie my fucking shoelaces.” Dream lets it out all like it’s his dying words; nothing holding him back. “I think about you all the time.”

“Yeah?” George asks, just to hear it again.

“All the time."

——————————

Or, a REALLY soft and sweet story of two boys talking about their future after a midnight drive.

Midnight calls, sunset views by Vxndetta

“You should never be nervous around me.” George’s voice, curled with an accent, is closer than ever before. “You– you know what this is right?” He asks, when their hair almost touches, faces a breath away.

Dream nods, because he thinks he does. He thinks it’s the start of a new life, a new time, in which distance is a mere memory and longing is long-forgotten. He brings his hands to the brunet’s waist, clutching the loose shirt like it’s the only thing tying him to this bed. Stars glow on the freckles of George’s cheeks—he’s that close.

——————————

Or, in which George takes it upon himself to make a home in Dream's covers and Dream falls harder and harder in love.

I'm falling for your eyes by Vxndetta

“Dream?” George calls from his spot on the blond’s bed, casually scrolling on his phone.

Dream types away at his desk, not looking away from his screen. “Yeah?”

George stares back at him, eyebrows quirked like he’s got a question on the tip of his tongue. “Do you think if you kissed someone and cracked your neck, they could, like, hear it?”

Dream’s face goes a little red at the thought. “Uh, I don’t know.” The hair on the back of his neck rises.

“Well,” George sits up, tossing his phone to the side. “Can we try it?”

The blond whips around. ”What?”

——————————

Or, in which George has a lot of questions that weirdly involve kissing, but Dream supposes one experiment couldn't hurt. Or two. Or three thousand.

I'll keep stealing, breathing him by Vxndetta

An invisible force tugs him closer, closer, closer.

Dream seems to understand. Perhaps the desire is clear on his face. The blond lets out a shaky breath and his eyelids fall closed. George curls his fingers around Dream's chin and tilts his head down, leaning forward and pressing a barely-there kiss just below Dream's right eye. And as if returning the favour, he purposefully remains for longer than necessary.

As George moves away to kiss the spot right between his eyebrows, Dream opens his mouth and speaks.

“I’m pretty sure I’m in love with you.”

——————————

Or, a REALLY soft and sweet story of two boys finding each other in the dark of a candlelit room.

It's the thought of you that slightly scares me by Vxndetta

Hooking his chin over his best friend's exposed shoulders while said best friend's hands roam his open torso is not clarifying anything. It might even be making it worse. The George-sized cave in his chest grows larger, even though he has him right here, in his arms, in his lungs.

“George?”

“I’m counting.”

“It's twenty four.” He needs his full attention. “Humans have twenty four ribs.”

George grumbles in response. “Spoiler.”

“Doesn’t this scare you?”

George falls silent.

Dream fears he just ruined everything.

——————————

Or, in which George arrives in Florida and Dream's skin itches to be felt against his. His mind tells him that's not normal. He gives in.

I really appreciate you !! thanks for occupying me for most of my days hehe.

“You’re too good to me, you know that?” George has wine stains on the corners of his lips, a silly grin plastered on his face, and he looks at Dream like he’s never known love before him. “You’re the one who’s too good for me,” Dream blushes. Merlot tastes even sweeter tonight, argent in his pocket buzzing like a fine line between home and the stars.

Softly, he begins speaking. “You did so good, love.”

Dream should ask what he’s talking about, but he knows George. Knows that he isn’t just talking about him listening in the bathtub. Knows that he’s talking about everything they’ve done together in the past few weeks, and how overwhelming it all has been for Dream.

Suddenly, at the words, Dream feels tears filling his eyes. Before meeting in person, he’d never known George like this, and it was terrifying.

Soft, earnest, and nothing but sweet and gentle to him. Gone was the poking in an attempt to get a reaction, or the name calling filled with endless affection. Left in its place was only sweetness endlessly overflowing through every single one of his actions. It escaped in every look he sent to Dream, and in the way his giggles seemed full of mirth. It escaped in the way his voice inexplicably softened when it was turned in Dream’s direction, and the way his touches were all gentle and explorative in a way that Dream never thought to anticipate. He’s different here; he’s different for Dream.

“You’re sweaty,” George says, “but I want to touch you anyway.” He removes his hand and then leans down and kisses where warmth still lingers on Dream’s chest, lips gentle as he kisses as close to Dream’s heart he can get without opening him up. Dream can feel it deep in his chest regardless, so deep within him it warms him from the inside out.

“I think I love you,” George whispers against Dream’s skin. “I don’t know what’s wrong with me.”

“Nothing,” Dream breathes. “Nothing’s wrong with you.”

Or Dream is sick. George just really loves him.

It starts with Dream, 3 pounds of roughly sliced yellow onions in a deep saucepan with three tablespoons of butter, and George.

“That’s twice tonight, baby,” Dream murmured, placing a gentle hand against George’s back. “You okay?”

George whipped his head around to stare at him, his eyes clear. “What?”

Dream froze, his own half-asleep haze melting away as surprise etched its way through his veins.

“Oh, hey, George.” He tried to sound casual as heat rose to his face and his ears burned scarlet. “Sorry, I thought you were sleepwalking.”

“You thought I was what?”

or; 4 times George sleepwalks, and one time he's still awake.

Morning Glory by ollieeyes - Explicit [Archived]

Because Dream knows George, knows him in caustic laughter and the way he pokes fun at anything that’s been deemed fair game, knows him in reserved bouts of affection and silent acceptance of when people try to show him fondness. It’s not that George is uncaring, but that he’s determined, rough around the edges, fiercely independent and intensely private.

But in Dream’s house, his bare feet padding on Dream’s stairs, his hands grasping Dream’s glass, George doesn’t seem so distant anymore. It seems that he’s sitting right here on Dream’s chest, forcing himself to be noticed. That he’s climbing into Dream’s skin to share the same space with him.

After years of skirting around his desire, Dream realizes he might have a thing for George’s softer side.

melt your headaches, call it home by womanhunt - Explicit

One of the first holidays that Dream spends with George is his birthday.

Of course, it isn’t technically the first holiday they’ve spent together. There were entirely too many holidays, in Dream’s opinion, spent stuck in Discord calls with nothing but each other’s voices for company. He remembers spending birthdays, Christmases, Valentine’s Days stuck talking to George from across the ocean. As time went on, celebrating felt pointless. Holidays became drab and dreary, and he no longer found himself looking forward to them. The wait for the visa dragged endlessly on and on, and everything in his life seemed to lose purpose.

That was until the beginning of August, when they finally got an update on the visa for the first time in months.

Or, a look into Dream and George spending each of their first holidays together in person.
