Summary
George followed two boys halfway across the world for a chance at an adventure, the chance for something bigger, the chance to be a legend. A year later, he finds himself still beside those two boys, working in a bakery and falling more in love with the city around him. And with one of the boys by his side. So of course, when he asks George if he's finally coming to slay the Ender Dragon with him, to become legends, George says yes. Because George would follow him to the end of the earth if he asked. All he had to do was ask.
He wanted to hide his face in Dream’s, and the blond boy would hide his in George’s, and no one would ever see them ever again.

Summary
“I should thank you,” George says, pulling him closer by the neck, “Because I get to have you?”“A lot of people aren’t that fucking lucky,” Dream says, voice tight, heartbeat beating thickly against George’s fingers. “And trust me—” he wrangles himself out of George’s grip, “—once I figure out how to stay away from you, you’re never going to hear from me again.”
George is a detective working for Scotland Yard investigating a string of art thefts linked to grisly murders. Dream is a gambler who knows more than he lets on. They can't stay away from each other, even when they should. -

Summary
“I don’t get why you do that.” George says honestly, placing the joint elegantly on the side table. He looks at Dream, following, and it’s like the entire earth stops on its axis. “It’s so obvious you can take anything you want, and then you just—don’t.”
Just them two. In a motel. Where the world isn’t spinning.
…What the fuck, Dream stutters in his head, and when he tries looking in George’s eyes for answers he’s already looked away, a soft color of red painting his cheekbones.
(despite having a boyfriend, george spends valentine's day with dream in some dingy roadside motel between tampa and orlando)

Summary
I want you, Dream thought between kisses. A fact. I want to be with you forever. Another fact. I want this to last. Of course he did, but he knew this was all too much, too soon. It was where this had been leading the past few years of their friendship, so he wasn’t entirely unprepared for it. It was jarring, though, to know with such sureness that George was it for him, so quickly after a first kiss.
The battle between self-restraint and the desire to love without containment.

Summary
“You’re such an idiot,” George mumbles, just loud enough that it’s there but not enough that Dream could hear him from across the marsh. Dream smiles wider, though, face-splitting, like he knows what George said anyway, like the shape of the words on his mouth is so familiar Dream could pick it out from across the world.
“C’mon!” Dream yells. “C’mon, Georgie, c’mon!” and George really can’t help but smile back at that, taking off toward him like he’s gravitating, flying over the ground like he’s invincible too because summer made him so.
He screams into the air and everything screams back, all whoops and whistles and just them, Dream and George, out for blood, out for summer.
