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)
