The last year of Karl's life was pretty brutal. After a horrible accident, his grief caused his motivation to drop, and his grades went right along with it. He was close to giving up entirely when his scholarship was revoked, but he moved to Texas anyway. 

Who could've guessed that dropping out of school was the best thing to ever happen to Karl? Who would've known that one close encounter with death would lead to him meeting the best friends he'd ever had? 

While it seemed like it was the end, Karl's life was only just beginning when it fell apart.

ART DOES NOT BELONG TO ME!!!!!!!!

no major tws, it is mainly fluff with a splash of angst

Jealousy // dreamnotfound by mystique__s
40 parts Complete Mature
Jealousy. Dream has always been a jealous person. He's spiteful and arrogant, always needing to get his own way. This only worsened when he got to college, and now he can't spend one minute without being the center of attention. Everything seems to change when the new art student, George, steals the attention from him. Even worse, the brunette seems to always pretend as if Dream doesn't exist. It's safe to say that Dream is jealous of this beautiful art prodigy, and jealousy goes a long way. ----- cover art by: grimayart on twitter! tw's/cw's: - smut & nsfw - addiction/drug abuse - recreational drug & alcohol usage - domestic violence/toxic relationships (i will be adding the tw's at the start of each chapter besides those that contain recreational drug & alcohol usage, because there are a lot of those) achievements: 1k- 6/20 βœ”οΈ 5k- 6/23 βœ”οΈ 10k- 6/26 βœ”οΈ 20k- 6/30 βœ”οΈ 50k- 7/5 βœ”οΈ 100k- 7/14 βœ”οΈ 150k- 7/22 βœ”οΈ 200k- 7/31 βœ”οΈ 250k- 8/18 βœ”οΈ 300k- 9/27 βœ”οΈ #1 in karljacobs- 7/17 #6 in gream- 8/10 #7 in collegeau- 7/4 #16 in art- 7/4 #20 in bbh- 6/28 #29 in skeppy- 7/3 #71 in karlnap- 6/25
More Than Roommates // Karlnap by bellalynn2
11 parts Complete
Karl goes into his second year of college expecting to be paired up with George, his best friend and roommate from last year. However he gets surprised with a rather attractive first year student that he had quite the encounter with earlier that day. How is Karl going to handle rooming with this super cute guy without falling for him. There's no way anything good can come from having a crush on this man right? How is Karl going to survive the year? Will things take a turn for better or for worse? Started-10/20/21 Finished-12/14/21 Don't worry the writing quality gets better as the story goes on! This is my first story so it might not be the best but I'm going to try. Feedback is welcome and encouraged just be kind about it. If any of the CCs in this story say they are uncomfortable with shipping or fanfiction I will not hesitate to take this down. Most importantly I hope you enjoy reading this story as much as I enjoy writing it! :]

Soft boy, new in town (TW: homophobia, self harm, violence, smut) Words total: 74926 This used to be #1 in karlnap, I personally think it gets good after the 22nd chapter. Yep, I don't like my own story, Idk why so many people enjoy it. (I will be rewriting this fic in the future btw) If any cc in this won't feel comfortable about such fanfictions I will immediately take it down. I don't ship real people!

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
