New Kid by nooneisshereanymoe

~~~ What would you do if your mom came up to you one day and said; "We're moving from Brighton to Florida!" Would you fall in love with the popular blonde at your new school on the first day? No, of course not, that only happens in cliche chic flic movies. Unless, of course, you're George Davidson, and he's Clay Miller. ~~~ TW's: Language, Abuse, Medical, Death ~~~ Original Upload Dates: Chapter 1 - February 26th Chapter 2 - March 8th Chapter 3 - March 13th Chapter 4 - March 25th Chapter 5 - April 3rd Chapter 6 - April 10th Chapter 7 - April 24th Chapter 8 - May 8th - Taking A Break - May 15th Chapter 9 - June 23rd Chapter 10 - October 9th ^ Final chapter because I ended up giving up I'm sorry, I think it's still an okay story though so if you want to read go ahead, it ends pretty alright I suppose. June 10th 2022. I'm not going to lie I don't really support Dream anymore after all that's come out about him and what he's done so I'm really at a crossroads on what to do with the story. I'm really proud of it as a piece of work and fan fiction but I feel so weird about it being out there now. I'll leave it up for now because a lot of people like it I suppose.

My Saviour by lisaaaaa1616

[FINISHED] George has to live with extreme anxiety. He never talks to people and locks himself in his room. One day he needs to go to the supermarket. A random boy, named Clay, walks up to him, he makes George run away. The boy keeps contacting him. Why does George feel so comfortable around him? He isn't allowed to. How does this random guy do this, calm him down all the time? What starts with just a small conversation ends in way more than ever expected. 'Why did you start talking to me?' 'Because you had something different.' TW's this book: Panic attacks, self harm, suicidal thoughts, abuse, homophobia. REWROTE THIS TO A PLATONIC FANFIC (might rewrite and fix all the mistakes later :D)

You're My Friend Forever by lisaaaaa1616

Clay isn't able to go to school after he gets diagnosed with gastroparesis, a partial paralysis of the stomach. The daily usage of liquid food through his nose tube, extreme stomach pains and frequent throwing up are now the main topics of his life which drives him to absolute madness... After George gets kicked out from his home, he needs to live on the streets and survive on his own as an underaged boy. He starts using his money in the wrong way and eventually runs out, seeking a job as a babysitter in a family with a very sick boy. Clay does anything to enjoy life as a normal teen and acts like the funny guy who constantly jokes about his sexuality and uses a lot of pick-up lines which makes everyone laugh. Unfortunately that's often a mask to hide is own pain... Warnings: -Underaged usage cigarettes (smoking addiction) -Throwing up (skippable) -Bullying/ableism -Self harm

The things I did //Dnf by _Lyraa

- George Davidson got with 18 Years in an tragic car accident with his parents. Although he was almost dying for months in a coma, he did not give up and fought. But after moths he finally opened his eyes, the last time seemed to him like ages ago, without knowing how much his life had changed from that point in 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞. - But what will happen when a Tall Blonde college student named Clay comes into his life. Will his life change or will it remain the same? What will happen from now on? - But maybe the Problem is different from what people imagined. For many people its probably 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭 to deal with this kind of problem, especially when you 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩 feelings. - A 𝐛𝐨𝐧𝐝 that Clay 𝐜𝐚𝐧'𝐭 seem to let go off anytime soon.. English isn't my first language, please correct me when I wrote something wrong :] 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 Angst Panik Attack (maybe) -I will put the Trigger Warnings at the Beginning of the chapters (if there are any) -The cover art is NOT mine it's from Pinterest. I must say, I am not shipping any of them in real life. It's just for the story. If someone changes their mind with being shipped or they are uncomfortable with fanfics then I will not hesitate to take this down or change their name to another! I still have to change some names, because I wrote this like in 2023.. and even if I am not part of the fandom anymore I don't want this to go to waste Enjoy the story

Fall For Me // dreamnotfound by mystique__s

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

DreamNotFound Oneshots (smut/fluff) (discontinued) by Frogsop

Not my artwork!!! (If you came from one of my other stories, please do not let this change your view of me, I am a different person than I was when I wrote this. 😔 But fr you should go read some of my other stuff, my writing is so much better now!) As of now, George and Dream have both said that books like these don't make them uncomfortable. If it makes their fans happy then they don't care. However, if they ever change their minds, I will delete this immediately. (Disclaimer!!! I will only write George x Dream I will not write about any minors under NO circumstances.) I will also be referring to Dream as Clay. Update: I have some very cringy chapters and by some I mean ALL of them so read at your own discretion.😭😭 Date Started Writing: January 15, 2021 DISCONTINUED! August 20, 2024

Thank You || dnf by 0nlyfanz

Clay struggles with home life, and his social life isn't the greatest either. George on the other hand is the popular kid in school, having no issues at home and no issues with his social life. The two used to know eachother, but something happened after Clay turned four and George never saw him again. What happens when the two cross paths for the first time in thirteen years? This is a very slow burn, fluff filled fanfiction, with some questionable parts, but I just wanted to make this as detailed as I could, so I'm sorry about that. Impressive things #1 in fanfic Dec 17st 2021 #1 in fanfiction Dec 21st 2021 #2 in dnf Dec 19th 2021 ❗DISCLAIMER❗ This story contains heavy and touchy subjects like physical and verbal abuse. It also has mentions of alcohol and drugs, as well of brief suicide comments and homophobic slurs. This happens throughout the whole book so people who are sensitive to these topics, I urge you not to read. George and Dream have stated they are comfortable with fanfictions about them, but at any given time they say they are uncomfortable, I will take this story down immediately. As for the cover art, @dnfwow on twitter made it.

Be Honest (DNF) by spookypapasmurf

Warning, the story starts of a little rough because I wasn't as experienced in my writing as I am now. I will fix it eventually, just not sure when. -------- George Is your average teen age boy, descent grades, video game lover, and a messed-up love life. Sounds like you've heard it before, right? Except it's not all that average. Toxic ex's, bully's, mental illness, and dealing with your emotions and other people's judgment, is enough to ruin your high school years and get you worrying about the future at such a young age. Clay is one of the bully's that physically and mentally beat George up. He had been bullying him for years it was the same, it had always been. But one day on the first day of school Clay saw George differently. But why? Figuring out who you are, finding out what you like, who you like, finding real friends and being someone's main supporter is some of the things Clay delt with after starting to see George differently, but he did it willingly. He even willingly changed himself. He did all of this for the person he never in a million years thought he would fall for, but God they were the person he fell for the hardest. "Be honest, do you love me?" -------- !TW! Heavy language, self-harm, nsfw, homophobia, angst, mental health, sexual topics, eating disorders etc.
