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 He was close to giving up entirely when his scholarship was revoked, but he moved to Texas anyway.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

Karlnap: My Neighbor Tutor
Energetic and lovable middle-child Karl's strengths are aplenty, but they sure don't include senior year calculus skills. Thankfully, a reserved but imaginative neighborhood boy, Sapnap, has just about the highest grade in his calculus class (not that he'd ever actually admit that, though). Quickly their friendly hangouts begin to foster a secondary meaning, as both boys start to develop feelings for each other. As Karl and Sapnap grow more and more attached, a shocking discovery takes a toll on one boy's mental health, and this leads to a strained and unpredictable relationship between the two. Will their attachments to each other be enough to conquer the realities of their adolescence nearing an end, or will forces out of their control prove to be too strong for their young love?

Jealousy // dreamnotfound
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 ✔️ 5k- 6/23 ✔️ 10k- 6/26 ✔️ 20k- 6/30 ✔️ 50k- 7/5 ✔️ 100k- 7/14 ✔️ 150k- 7/22 ✔️ 200k- 7/31 ✔️ 250k- 8/18 ✔️ 300k- 9/27 ✔️ #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- 6/25Complete

Because You Are Love (Karlnap)
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.Complete
Good Things Come In Threes - Karlnapity
Karl never believed in love. So it comes as a shock to him when he moves to a new school and meets the two people that will change his life forever. Quackity was always popular because he was funny. He always had something to say. That is until the quiet new kid and the loud footballer render him speechless. Sapnap hated being popular, it was too much pressure. He didn't want to accept his sexuality for fear of being bullied, that all changes when he meets two charismatic boys and can't stop thinking about them. After spending time together, they realise they're falling for each other. And when the three of them discover polyamory, they are filled with hope. There's only one thing that can destroy that hope. High school. I will include a TW at the start of each chapter ---------------------------------------------------- If anyone mentioned in the story is uncomfortable with it I will take it down immediately :) Only shipping their online personas! They will look like their minecraft characters.Complete

Chapters will vary from Freshman year (2015-2016 school year) to Senior year (2018-2019 school year). Chapters will be dated at the top to avoid confusion.

paint splattered scars || dnf
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.
