George, almost the perfect bully's punching bag, finally meets the one person who will stand up for him. His bully's best friend. Even though George's life is in /shambles/, he's trying to find some comfort in his new...erm- friend. Unfortunately, he really can't just catch a break. Between his complicated relationship with his bully's best friend and the tragedies that occur as a result. Dream meets George, and immediately understands that something must be off. He wanted to make him feel better, and as he slowly makes more and more discoveries about George and his past, the worse it seems. Dream's in way over his head, not even considering the fact that he lives alone at 17 with his little sister to take care of. Sapnap also has issues. Every dream team member is traumatized and they all get their time to shine. Karl's here too. TW: self-harm, abuse, angst, bullying (there will be more in-depth TWs at the beginning of every chapter) DISCLAIMER: characters have nothing to do with the cc's, or even *really* their dsmp characters. this is basically angst & romance just using their names, which i *pretty* normal. It's very canon divergent. I did NOT create the art for the cover, just the text!!! Yo, just btw don't re-upload this ANYWHERE unless you reach out to me and i give permission (which I probably won't) DISCLAIMER 2: this is not high quality writing, but you probably already knew that. I apologize in advance #1 dsmp #4 dnf #1 karl #1 gnf

TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️ MENTION OF RAPE

George works as a stripper at a high status club. Everyone there is rich but the strippers still don't make crazy amounts of money. George is also the only guy at this club which makes it harder for him to earn money. One day the most feared gang throughout the city shows up at the club and nothing is the same after that. His boss makes him do things he doesn't want and everything goes downhill. Especially when he meets the leader of the gang who can't stop sending him mixed signals. What will happen when George and the gang leader, Dream, keeps getting hung up on each other? Rankings: #38 in dnffanfic 27/05/23 #17 in dnf 06/06/23 #37 in dreamnotfound 19/06/23
