    Summary

    Dream pushes his sunglasses up so they're balanced on his head instead. "I hadn't realized we were close enough to be best friends."

    "I'd like to think that if I'm good enough friends with your best friend's fiance, I'm good enough friends with you." Techno picks up the menu and scans over it. "You good at speaking French?"

    OR: For George and Wilbur's engagement, everyone goes to France, and Dream isn't quite sure how to approach Techno in person.

    Summary

    Dream tears his eyes away from where he’s editing the latest manhunt, his brain hurting. He often listens to Techno’s videos and past livestreams while he edits — he started this during Techno’s Bedwars winstreak and hasn’t broken the habit. He doesn’t plan on telling Techno, either.

    Techno would call him a simp. And Dream doesn’t simp, okay? Techno’s voice is just very calming, rough and monotone but in a way that feels warm on Dream’s ears. It helps him focus.

     

    Or,

    Modern/Streamer AU, but Dream and Techno keep arguing about dogs vs cats

     

    (Title is from Everybody Talks by Neon Trees)

    Summary

    “And I know it’s all in my head, you know? You don’t hook up with someone you don’t find attractive. But I freak out anyway. I spoke to a therapist about it, and she said I should make positive sexual experiences with someone I trusted; who I know won’t judge me for my body.”

     

    The lightbulb goes off in Dream’s brain, nodding slowly.

     

    “And you trust me.”

     

    Sapnap shrugs. “Yeah.”

    or: sapnap gets anxiety about his body when he has sex. after his therapist says he should foster positive sexual experiences with someone he trusts, he asks dream for help.

    Summary

    The year is 1861, and Prince Albert has just passed away.

    However, this isn't quite the focus of private investigator Wilbur Soot and his loyal assistant Tommy No-Last-Name (despite Tommy's protests about how the newly single Queen may find him an eligible and particularly charming bachelor) -- a string of murders, initiated by a first kill on a night of a full moon, have begun in Lmanberg, a small city nestled in England. What's curious is the murderer's penchant for love poetry spelled out with his mutilated presents.

    Luckily for Superintendent Techno Blade, Wilbur Soot and his partner have offered their assistance to solve the case, along with their oddly specific knowledge of Renaissance literature, which has elicited the killer's interest as well.
