Patience is a virtue, they say. Dream must be the most virtuous man on Earth.

Extract:

Dream’s always liked autumn. He thinks it’s the same color as fire, and just as threatening.

Autumn is chilly, vast, empty. There’s some unspoken magic that comes with September, and his mind seems to clear when clouds cover the sky above him.

Conveniently, George got his visa on the first day of autumn.

Quick question, how do I keep going after reading Heatwaves and Helium???

[i-hope-this-is-a-phase]

Channeling my inner sassiness to write from George's POV.

[godihatethiswebsite]

I love how everytime I read an actual book and it ends up being too mid or disappointing whether I DNF it or not, afterwards I always go back and reread one of my beloved fanfics to try and wash the sour taste from my mouth

last book abandoned: a very forgettable Romance novel. for the record i *love* romance novels, this one was just so badly written and assumed i had so much knowledge about the characters 'cus it was book 2 in a series. it was a sad DNF for me especially 'cus both protags were asian :(

ask game :o

“Do you have any tips for getting better at the game?” Dream read from the chat. He gave a soft chuckle. “Well, I would say don’t play it. At all. Just give up now. That’ll make you better.” 

George liked the way Dream laughed at his own joke. He could see Dream doing that over texts, too. 

“No, but seriously, I would say just practice. I don’t know, um.” He chuckled again. “That’s what I did at least.”

That night, George fell asleep to the noises of a keyboard and the short monologues of a stranger now with an entire space in his brain. 

crafter6996: i saw your stream last night

dream: oh yeah?

dream: what’d you think?

crafter6996: you ramble a lot

dream: you can say hi next time

crafter6996: why did you assume there’s a next time

dream: just say hi idiot

crafter6996: no

crafter6996: idiot

The next time George watched Dream’s stream, he told himself he wouldn’t say hi. 

It was the principle of it. If he couldn’t keep his friend on his toes, who else would?

this scene had me CACKLING i want any and all details :)

Okay so this got super super long, so viewer discretion is advised:

Hi Crow!!!! Okay so this scene was one of my favorites to write. I actually wrote the first two and a half chapters of The Invisible Life in about two or three days. A little bit further after this excerpt is where I stopped and then I finished the third chapter like three weeks later. Haha oops. But! This was one of my favorites because it’s finally when Dream and George get to interact. The first couple chapters were leading up to this exact point…and then I delayed it for a few weeks.

My thought process when writing this was that I wanted to show that a bond had already formed between them in the space between the second and third chapters, but I also didn’t want to rush it, even if I was actually trying to rush it so I didn’t end up with a 500k slow burn. Additionally! (and I think the hardest for me) I wanted to also show the effects of both of them hearing each other’s voices for the first time as a contrast between them texting for the first time AND as a parallel to Dream’s real life face reveal.

The part before the cut is the first time George ever hears Dream, but it’s also a little one-sided because George now knows more about Dream than Dream knows about him. As the token mysterious immortal being™️, this goes with his current character development. But also at the same time, you can see him start to invite someone else into his life for the first time.

The text break was just fun. Crafter6996, my beloved. I like to think that the person George stole all of the login info from is just vibing. Maybe crafter6996 is just stickyboy69 in another life. Who knows? On a (somewhat) more authorly note, I wanted the text break to show a little bit more of George’s changes, so he’s the one who texts first, sends more texts than Dream, and responds back with a pet name (even if Dream started it first). You can still see some hesitation, but you can also see some trust building. Also, I just love breaks in the narrative that move it along while also announcing HEY IM MOVING SCENES NOW. And my favorite kind of humor is when something describes one thing in perfect detail (George telling himself he will not talk to Dream) and then skipping ahead to when he does that exact thing (talking to Dream). I’m really glad that you also enjoyed the humor of the scene :D. I’m always so scared when writing humorous things/banter that it’ll fall flat because I think something’s funny when it’s actually not, so thank you for also laughing with (at) me!

I genuinely love writing The Invisible Life, and I’ve been so overwhelmed by the amount of people who love and interact with it too (I’ve even seen tags from a person saying they don’t ship dnf but like the story—this made me cackle). This fic was just kind of me messing around with being more spontaneous and less over-thinking. I’m a huge huge perfectionist, and that’s why I’ve never written fanfic until now despite writing my entire life because I was too scared of getting everything wrong. So, I thought, why not combine an au of mc YouTubers/streamers and a book with super complicated rules on immortality and demonic deals and make my own rules/world, because obviously that is easier than literally anything else I could’ve chosen. But yeah, The Invisible Life is the story that I don’t have to overthink. That means that I don’t really edit it as much as my other fics so honestly it may end up as a hot mess (I promise I do have plans™️ though), but maybe that’s the best way to be. (Or at least that’s what I keep telling myself. Please don’t tell me otherwise. I may cry. It’ll be ugly.)

So, um, this turned out very long and I probably could’ve gone on for much longer because TIL dnf mean the world to me. I really appreciate you picking the scene and asking about it!!! I like to think of you as my first and loudest cheerleader for TIL, so thank you so much :D

[lesbian-gnf-archive]

I worked on a long Dnf fanfic about Dream and George playing It Takes Two and as I was just about finished my phone started to delete it right in front of me I could not stop it. I was crying and laughing as I watched my beloved fanfic I took hours writing get deleted in about 40 seconds. I think it's my Grammarly that's messing up idk? But I am in shock, anger disbelief and I am tired lol I think I'll just lay down and wonder what I did wrong to piss the fanfic gods off because Damn...

Ohhhhhhh oh dear god my poor anogie I'd cry /srs oh my god 🫂

[saltydazeinnit]

Yes yes we like the classic Jock/Nerd pairing yeah? It's good, it's sweet, can be angsty, even better when yassified. We can agree on this, what's better tho? The smut

Everyone thinking Nerd is the bottom and not knowing Jock falls boneless on Nerd dick or fingers or tongue.

Just food for thought yeah?

Part 1 of the FaceTime Series

Five times Dream and George FaceTimed, and one when they didn’t need to anymore.

Tags: Meetup Fic, Getting Together, Mutual Pining, Idiots in Love, 5+1 Things

Extract:

Within two seconds, he gets jumpscared by the sight of his own face on his screen, George’s name shining bright at the top, and a rather annoying ringtone filling up the dark room. He frowns as his mind rushes, gears and pieces moving inside his tired and confused brain, trying hard to understand what’s going on.

When it finally hits him, he has to sit down and take ten deep breaths. Eleven, even.

George is FaceTiming him.
