Rewrite of my fic "paint splattered scars"! Now featuring as never seen before: Plot and consistency!!!
TW: child abuse, self harm, depression, homophobia and other heavy angst topics. Stay safe!! I won't be tagging super specifics before each chapter, but I'll try to tag the big ones. Just be aware that pretty much every chapter is gonna be sad.
Summary: For as long as George can remember, his life has been shit, and, for some god forsaken reason, it just keeps getting worse. His abusive uncle and his high school bully and a thousand other instances in between make George's life feel nothing short of miserable. Until Dream.
Dream is a lot of things. A painter, George's bully's best friend, and someone who George is lightly terrified of. Dream has been dealing with his own life and is hurting more than George might've realized that first day they met on the bus.
None of these motherfuckers know how to cope. Not a bit. But they're trying?
After a car accident, Dream struggles to adjust to life with injuries, but George makes his life easier. He takes care of Dream but in the process, they fall into a domestic relationship and feelings start to develop.
(Duel POV; updates every second Friday, 10K word count. Also available on A03 under Cloudy_Cupid)
If Dream or George ever state that they're uncomfortable with these kinds of fanfics, I'll take the necessary steps and un-publish it.
But as of now, I'd like to specify that I don't seriously ship DNF, this story is like an alternate reality where they're in love.
