[College AU] Clay applied to college with the sole intention of escaping his family. He doesn't expect to join a gaming club, start failing his classes, and fall in love with his best friend, but then again, you never do. (title is a song by Julia Nunes) cross-posted to Ao3

Dream watched for a few seconds as the man walked away. He didn't know why he watched, but he did. His body wasn't letting him look away. Talkative and witty Dream is a short-term visitor of London, England wherein resides London-native George, who keeps to himself but has an incredible imagination. They find their paths collide one evening at a local café. Neither of them know what they are doing or what they're looking for, but they find comfort in knowing they are in a similar boat. Watch them navigate through life-altering news, mental health rollercoasters, and surprise guests in this story of pure emotions.

This is the cheerleader George, football player Dream au nobody asked for... Clay "Dream" Collins is your average high school football prodigy, popular and charming. Nearly everyone at school is in love with him, most of which is from his own manipulation. George is a new transfer student that became captain of the cheerleading team. He is an optimistic boy who isn't afraid to dress feminine, and while many respect him for this, many judge him. After one eventful night at a party, Dream and George end up alone in a room, with George claiming he won't ever fall for Dream. Dream makes this his goal to change the male cheerleader's mind. How hard could it be? ----- cover art is by @pencantdraw on twitter! trigger warnings include: - alcohol/drug usage - eventual smut/spice - abuse/violence/sexual assault - eating disorder/PTSD/anxiety - self harm/suicide attempt (it's not that bad, most of the angst is in the middle chapters i promise :]) That being said, I will put any trigger warnings at the start of the chapter in which they occur. George has an eating disorder in this story so I won't always put a tw for it unless I go into detail about it, keep that in mind while reading. Sometimes I also mention previous events that have happened in the story that might be triggering so if I forget to put a tw, respectfully comment and let me know :) all of the characters in this story are simply characters, and do not represent them as real people milestones (ily guys): 1k- 3/25 ✔️ 5k- 3/27 ✔️ 10k- 3/28 ✔️ 50k- 4/6 ✔️ 100k- 4/15 ✔️ 200k- 4/27 ✔️ 300k- 5/7 ✔️ 400k- 5/13 ✔️ 500k- 5/20 ✔️ 600k- 6/2 ✔️ 700k- 6/24 ✔️ 800k- 7/18 ✔️ 900k- 8/10 ✔️ 1m- 9/14 ✔️ #1 in dreamwastaken: 4/17 #1 in dreamnotfound: 4/25 #3 in dnf: 4/29 #4 in georgenotfound 5/13 #32 in gream 6/2

George is that one college kid that is mildly attractive, but no one notices him. He's quite introverted and would rather stay inside, listen to music and watch the rain fall, rather than go to a party. Wilbur, his best friend, is the absolute opposite. Bringing girls home every weekend from all the parties. He was known as the most attractive person at Cadillac University, people only knowing George because of Wilbur. But all things change after Wilbur forces George to come to that.one.party.
