    Summary

    dan’s a lawyer who’s too good at pretending that nothing gets to him. phil’s a forensic linguist who sees the truth in everything; voice stress patterns, syntax choices, the way dan’s jaw tightens when someone calls him cold.

    they’re thrown together on a case that’s already a disaster; where the evidence doesn’t add up and the witnesses keep lying.
    it’s long nights in cramped offices. it’s coffee gone cold. it’s dan pacing while phil quietly listens. it’s dan’s voice cracking just once. it’s phil knowing exactly what he meant.

    somewhere between affidavits and tape transcripts, they stop being just coworkers.
    maybe they were never just coworkers.

    or;

    alternate universe where dan finished uni and is a lawyer and he and phil did not become youtubers

    Summary

    Martyn rolls his eyes. "You told me you were gay when you were fifteen. And then you met Dan and I like Dan, I obviously do, I've known him for ten bloody—but if you were my little sister instead of my younger brother, and you were with some man who says, ’oh, I love you but it has to be a secret—‘'"

    Or: Four times Phil confronts the reality of living with the secret of his and Dan's relationship, and one time Dan confronts it with him.

    “Do you like music in general?” Dan asks, and then immediately wants to kick himself. What kind of question even is that? Do you like music in general? Great job. Incredible job. Way to excel at a conversation with the hot cinema guy.

    Summary

    Charles has been avoiding confronting his feelings for Edwin for a month now, and Edwin has started thinking he’s done something genuinely wrong. Something’s gotta give.

    “I just— why does it have to be like that?”

    “Sometimes you love someone so much that it dooms them.”

    “I don’t agree,” Charles said.

    “You can’t not agree with a myth. The ending has been written for millenia,” Edwin retorted.

    “That’s not how love should work,” Charles protested, forming his argument as he spoke. “If you love someone and do everything in your power to save them, they should be fucking saved. What happened to love conquers all?”

    “That’s idealism.”

    Summary

    Dan steps off the train, and in front of him, looking equally as dishevelled but somehow still the most beautiful thing Dan has ever seen, is Phil. He’s real, Dan thinks, stupidly, in utter disbelief that the person he’s been thinking of almost every waking moment for the past few months is right here. Phil smiles, a wide, crooked grin. “Dan!” he exclaims, stepping closer, bringing him into an all-consuming hug. It feels warm, hopeful, like a sigh of relief. It feels like the Phil he’s slowly fallen in love with. It feels familiar, somehow. Dan leans into it, wrapping his arms around Phil, too. He smells like cheap Lynx body spray, but it’s somehow the best thing Dan’s ever smelled. “Hi,” says Phil, so quiet it’s almost a whisper. He sounds nervous, too, which makes Dan feel a little bit better.

    Or: Dan and Phil through the years, from 2009 to now, from the internet to real life.

    “I don’t get it,” Sirius says truthfully. “Remus is such a nice person, why does everyone pretend like he’s some kind of wicked stepmother?”

    James laughs joyfully and winks at Sirius. “Are we even talking about the same person?” He holds out his hand above his head. “Big guy, about this tall, curly hair? Temper like a sleeping dragon? Smart, but a bit full of himself? Can kill you with his eyes?”

    Sirius raises his eyebrows and laughs as well. “No, I don’t think we are talking about the same person at all.”

    Summary

    “I’ve read your poetry, you know,” Neil admits casually after a few beats of silence, as if he’s discussing the weather and not revealing earth-shattering information, while his eyes remain trained on the football game playing on the TV in the corner of the bar.

    Did he know? Could he see right through all of Todd’s poetry, see all of the desperate clinging onto his glory days which were limited to five brief months because of his disappearance? Todd almost wants to lunge at him, wants to throttle this boy-turned-man for getting to know all of the agonies which traced his mind while he was stuck in this dingy bar still not even being able to tell if a smirk or frown was pulling at Neil’s lips.

    Of course he doesn’t lunge, – when has Todd lunged for anything in his life? – just struggles to not choke on his spit while he rasps out a simple “yeah?” as if it’s a full question. This will be the death of him, he’s decided.

    Or in which it’s 1981, New York Times bestselling poet Todd Anderson has run out of words to say, and he just so happens to run into the only boy who always knew how to speak up for him.
