George is hopelessly in love with Clay, but he doesn't know how to express his feelings. Clay is concerned and confused about why his friend is avoiding him. High school first love, plus a sprinkling of drama. Dreamnotfound, Skephalo... If you enjoy a slowburn, you'll like this one. ___ High school AU (Contains other Minecraft Youtubers) ___ TW // blood, panic attacks, PTSD, gun violence, anxiety, swearing, sexual references, underage drinking. It's a hoot __ Thank you so much everyone for 1 Mil reads! Feb 2, 2021. It's unbelievable, thank you guys <3 #1 in homosexual April 25, 2021 I feel accomplished even tho its kinda a dumb thing lmao

(UPDATED JUNE 30 bc the story took a different direction over the 2 years I've been writing it o-o;) Skephalo and Sap6d fic taking place as a sequel to Midnight Birdsong. Very slowburn and also angsty but kinda hurt/comfort until closer to Chapter 59-ish where it becomes mostly hurt no comfort. Chapter titles are songs that relate to stuff/ foreshadow the story/ fit the chapter mood and there's a playlist with them called Twisted where I pick songs as I write chapters so you get a lil sneak peek before they're posted. *spoilers below* CW // violence, vomit, character in a temporary coma, (TBD) ~If anyone wants to make fanart of it for a cover, I'd love that :D

George, Dream, and Sapnap find themselves trapped in Minecraft. They get to work speedrunning as safely as possible, but unforeseen obstacles get in their way over and over. As things get slowly worse and worse, they can either accept the new reality and cope, or survive in denial. ____ This is not related to "Free the Game, Beat the End" despite the similar name. It wasn't an influence bc I haven't read it. This is entirely separate and mine, please don't compare them. ____ This took a year to write, starting in December 2020 (so it's dated.) Just keep in mind that it's before the first fall of L'Manberg, around the first Tales of the SMP, after Roadtrip came up but before Mask, before any of them met up irl besides George and Wilbur. ____ TW // blood, slight gore, claustrophobia, implied vomiting I probably should rate it mature, but it's up to you to read or not. Contains sexual jokes and flirting, swearing, deep and mature themes. My work always has twists and turns. ____ A billion thanks to the cover artist Anjitriestodraw for slaving away countless hours just to make it unique for me and better than I ever hoped <3
