His sworn duty is to protect his kingdom from outside threats, especially from the scourge of magic. George is his best friend and, technically, his servant. And he has a secret.

Brooooo this is awesome. It is so well written.Dream being completly clueless about George' magic and thinking of him as someone kinda useless during battles even though he saved their asses is peak Merlin and Arthur energy

Royalty AU with magic yeeeeeeeeeessssI love it. Love the trope and the way you wrote it.I actually like that you make Dream hate wizards, in really, actually hating them. Sometimes people write in a way that it's their parents/father that hate them but the main character doesn't. I don't mind it but this is a breath of fresh air.Can't wait until Dream realizes his mistakes and has a mental breakdown over it. (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)

They didn’t see George stop for a moment longer on the beach. They didn’t see the long moment of silence in which George watched the bandit's leader emerge quietly from the opposite tree line, pulling back a newly retrieved bow. They didn’t see the arrow whistle through the air, cutting a dangerous arc directly towards Dream’s back. They didn’t see the arrow freeze, mid-air, and break in half, as George held up his arm steadily, making direct eye contact with the bandit himself. George dropped his arm, and the arrow dropped into the lake. The bandit’s eyes were wide and dumbstruck as George stared him down, his face cold and determined. The trio disappeared into the forest. And then George was gone, as well. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'M SCREAM

!!!!!!!!I think the very end of this chapter with George stopping the bandit is my favorite part so far but this whole thing is v good

Honestly_What

Just now

Jesus Heck, I love this! First off very cute, second off this makes me so curious! (Ok this like kinda rambley, you don’t really have to answer these :3) Like what did some magic users do that was SO BAD that it made all magic users banned, like it had to have been like so intensely horrible that the royals and the kingdom wouldn’t use them for protection or you know, exploit them for their powers!! Maybe get caused a massacre to due to said miss treatment? A former ruler of the kingdom being a magical tyrant? Also the story says that George’s grandmother is a healer so I wonder if that means she’s just like a doctor type or she uses magic on people. (would healing magic be permitted? I mean it’s inherently good and we don’t yet know how far this world’s medicine is so it could be MEGA beneficial.) Also the part where Dream was completely down for murdering the bandits just because they were magic users was chilling. Did it have something to do with his mom? Also I’m so glad he listened it George and didn’t literally murder someone at the age of 13. (I feel really bad for the bandits even though maybe I shouldn’t but maybe I should?) But bro I wonder what George was thinking at the time when he saw what Dream and the others were about to do. (If I were in his shoes I’d be SO stressed.) Oo I’m also wondering if Dream or George have any siblings because that would be interesting, but I guess that’s kinda unrelated. I loved the scene where George and the bandit stared each other down too, that was really gr8 <3If you read all of that then wow, thank you! Thanks for writing this fic and I’m really interested in what cha have in store. Have a wonderful day or night :3

every once in a while i will come across a fanfic with writing so good it could be a book. your fanfic is one of the sort. thank you for the time and effort you have put into this amazing work and for giving it to us for nothing in return!! please keep up the fantastic job and thank you so much for writing this!!

Chapter 1

Just now

Yooooo there’s just so much to love in this chapter! The writing itself is amazing and true to the characters. The premise of the story (George being a rising sorcerer and Dream being the son of a sorcerer-killing tyrant) is so STELLAR. I really appreciate that I found this story! Part of my wants to list off all the epic examples of skill within this chapter:-The dialogue flowed smoothly and genuinely sounded like something the MCYT-ers’ characters would say. I’ve read too many fics that were just way too inaccurate to whom they were based on. This is perhaps one of the strongest interpretations I’ve seen.-You really know how to “show, not tell”! Instead of just telling that George is a magic-user, you showed that through the last scene where he broke that arrow.-The age-writing sounded believable and provided for fun interaction. Them as six year-olds sounded like them as six year-olds ahah!-You have great attention to detail, as seen in all the characters’ interactions around each other. -You just have some serious skill man! Good on you!Can’t wait to read on!

love how George saved their asses but they didn't even know. I also appreciate that they still had skills and didn't totally depend on George. Just don't let them get to cocky.
