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

George does the one thing he is not supposed to do: he crosses the Safe Border, knowing very well nobody has ever returned from leaving before. Did he have a choice though? No. It was the only way to find answers to his questions. He discovers a friend and ally in a stranger who saves his life, and with who he discovers the possibilities beyond friendship in the God forbidden outskirts of the city. He goes beyond the limits that he knows to survive, and to find the truth he has longed for. Trigger Warnings: - violence/blood/death - angst Chapters containing possible triggers will be marked as such at the top of the page. This story has no intent of forcing a fictional ship onto real life. Dream and George have expressed they are fine with shipping, and should they ever change their mind, I will gladly take this story down. This story is written with respect towards the content creators it's about, and I will always remain considerate of what I write. This story does not contain smut. #2 in dreamnotfound (20/11) #4 in gream (18/10) #26 in boy (16/12)
