Heat Waves (fan fiction)

Heat Waves is a fan fiction written by Archive of Our Own (AO3) user "tbhyourelame" about an imagined romantic relationship between the Minecraft YouTubers Dream and GeorgeNotFound, known for their Minecraft server the Dream SMP. It takes its title from the song "Heat Waves" by the band Glass Animals, which the fan fiction helped popularise and bring wider attention to. The work quickly gained popularity in the Minecraft YouTuber community and spawned internet memes, tribute videos, and fan art; it also received generally positive reviews for its storytelling, though it was also criticised for being real person fiction. It garnered millions of views and was one of the most liked pieces of work on AO3.
