    Summary

    (Title is taken from The Sharpest Lives by MCR)

    Life is unfair. You can rage and push against the things that make it hard, but it'll throw you for a loop again and again until you don't know up from down. As Q is suddenly thrust into the musical spotlight, he's forced to reckon with traumas he thought he buried long ago, while also learning how to handle things like love, loss, and what he wants from his life.


    OR, Wilbur and Q survive graduation and come out with a stronger relationship than ever two years after they become roommates. Things are stable for a while, all up until Q meets a childhood friend through sheer chance.
    And from there it's a chain reaction; he joins Sapnap's cover band, discovers what it means to be a reliable adult to a struggling six-year-old, and is forced to face the worry that love isn't actually worth it, wondering if the last time he would feel love like that was with his abusive ex-fiance.

    Summary

    Day 4: Wedding and Band AUs


    "I'm-" George didn't know how to respond, so he said the only thing that seemed reasonable. "-George."

    "I'm Karl," The man replied brightly. "Nice to meet you."

    "Nice to meet you too," George's voice was still hesitant.

    "So what's the best man doing here all mopey and sad with a completely boring drink?" Karl said. "Quackity is out on the dance floor getting absolutely floored right now, such a big contrast between the two best men."

    "Quackity," George repeated. "Sorry, I don't think I know you, but you know Quackity?"

    "Right," Karl laughed. "Sorry, I forget that we're usually super invisible. I play bass, in the wedding band like an hour ago? Before we switched up to the DJ. Quackity was my college roommate, he's the one that booked me for this gig."


    George didn't expect to be approached by the bassist that was playing at Dream and Sapnap's wedding, especially when he was a little bit out of it. He was really cute though, and George didn't mind the talking company.

    Summary

    The elevator closed behind them soundlessly; they didn’t break.

    Time, once an impalpable concept, was now a tangible object held in their hands, kept within the space between their beating chests – all of it, right there with them. Time was theirs to do with what they will, and Dream willed it no more. He willed time to stand still, to let this moment prolong for as long as the universe existed, for as long as feet still planted themselves in the ground.

    As long as Winter parts into Spring, as long as flesh turns to dirt after soul escapes it, and as long as humanity manages to bear its mortal coil–

    Time was theirs. George was his.

     

    Or, Dream, Karl, Quackity, and Sapnap just lost their long term guitarist in their band, and need to find someone to fill the void. Newcomer George fits the bill in more ways than one.

    (FORMERLY 'GOD DAMN IT DNF') Current title from Nobody by Bruno Major.

    Summary

    Pretending to date Dream just to stop the rumours was a disaster waiting to happen; anyone with half a brain was able to see that. In theory, it would work at the start, the fans would be too blinded by all the rumours, but it was only a matter of time before they stopped and dug around, or until one of them slipped up.

    Karl had never been very good at keeping up a charade.

    After a miswording in an interview causes the entire world to believe Dream is homophobic, Dream and Karl are forced to create a fake relationship to distract the public.

    Summary

    “Oh fuck off with the ‘But I’m famous!’ bullshit, Dream! We haven’t fallen asleep or woken up together in months! Months! Imagine how I fucking feel, isolated and away from all my friends. I don’t have anything here! Nothing but you, and you aren’t even here half the time!” George shouted, his fists balled at his sides in anger.

    Dream scoffed. “Then why did you fucking come?”

    “Because I was- I’m in love with you, asshole! I dropped my shit and packed my bags the moment you asked me too because I fucking love you!” George was seething. How dare Dream ask him why he came. The blond had practically begged him too.

    “Maybe that was your first mistake."

    Or,
    Dream, a famous rockstar, and his pretty British boyfriend break up and now he has to fix it. Or will they be done for good?
