#also not me recommending falsettodrop fics every other day. fan behavior

[dnf-fic-recs]

Hi, do you have any fic recommendations that have romantic dnf but are also heavily focused on the whole dream team friend/family dynamic? I feel bad whenever authors just conveniently send Sapnap to NC indefinitely (I get it though 😅)

Also happy middle of June to you and everyone who celebrates it /hj 💙💚

salve for the wounded soul by falsettodrop - Ongoing & Explicit

Dream isn’t one to go deep in the ocean—he prefers standing safely on ground, with his feet planted in the sand—and so Sapnap takes George instead, gripping his hand as he pulls, and George joins him with ease. Dream can hear their laughs in the air as he looks around, back turned to them; a familiar sound, one that he’s heard nearly every day in the most recent years of his life. He turns, and there they are: his boys, watching him, waiting for him to look at them. They wave, as if to say, Dream, do you see us? Do you see? And he grins, heart full and beating and alive

A crush injury to the fingers shifts dynamics within the Dream Team household. Tensions arise, of differing varieties.

snf fight and dreamnap brotherly moments!

The problem is this: Dream hasn’t slept in a week.

It started the night before George’s flight. He and Sapnap had spent the day preparing: clean sheets on the bed, setup ready for use, cupboard full of British snacks that Sapnap had excitedly brought home from the supermarket. Dream was already in bed when it hit -- a sudden, certain fear that things were about to change in ways he couldn't control

Or, Dream doesn't have any answers, but he asks a lot of questions.

The thing is, Sapnap met Dream first. They'd hit it off right away, from the first response in a public chat to the first DM they ever sent, Sapnap and Dream had been fast friends. The best. Except then he had school and life got busy and in the in between moments of their usual hang time, there was George.

Or, Sapnap is tired of being the third wheel

happy ending!!

Catholic Boys by richietozlr - Ongoing & Mature

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.

CB has a lot of friendship focus, primarily between george and other characters. specifically quackity and niki, but karl and sapnap are there too!

Without Guilt by venus43 - Ongoing & Explicit

It’s a honeyed tone, almost husky when the words drop—something that George doesn’t think he’s heard before, and he watches ivory teeth drag over black snake bites, fixated on the way a pink bottom lip moves hard with the metal piercing. It’s hard not to stare, gaze lifting to dirty blond hair and a small smile, features so tantalizingly perfect that they render George breathless. Eyes widen, the boys smile growing, and Sapnap’s brother was not meant to be hot, that was never a part of the plan.

“Dude, my TA is so your type,” Sapnap said in greeting, sitting down across from Dream in the library.

“Huh?” Dream said. “How do you know my type?”

“He’s like… twink central,” Sapnap said.
