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 He was close to giving up entirely when his scholarship was revoked, but he moved to Texas anyway.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.

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

Because You Are Love (Karlnap)

62 parts Complete

Sapnap grew up in Texas, a state where being gay just wasn't something you were allowed to talk about- so he didn't. He never came out to his family and even when he made new friends who loved him unconditionally, he still couldn't bring himself to come out. Staying in the closet never felt like a problem once he moved to Florida with Dream, well, until a video collaboration introduced him to a boy that made him question if he could keep hiding. Now, Sapnap has to return to Texas for the first time since his move to Florida for his step-sister's birthday. What's waiting for him when he arrives is going to make keeping his sexuality a secret from his family that much harder.
