Summary
Phil lounges on his back, laptop on his thighs playing the newest video from his favourite YouTuber. His grin is impossible to hide anytime he watches something new Dan has posted. He’s unbelievably proud of how far Dan’s come in the last few months of posting videos of his own, and this time is no different. Phil laughs at a quip and his phone begins ringing. His heart leaps into his throat – he hates phone calls.
It nearly stops when he sees who’s calling. He slams his laptop shut and presses the answer button.
“Dan?”

Summary
Phil imagines himself, a hell of a lot braver, smirking and throwing his arm around the back of Dan’s chair, one ankle resting on the knee of the opposite leg. Shoulders not rigid with anxiety. Spine able to actually relax against the comfortable chairs on which they sit.
That world does not exist. It can never exist. Phil mourns for it and resents it. How dare another version of him and Dan get to live their lives freely while the real ones have to cower in the shadows over so much as a finger touch in a coffee shop?

Summary
Dan Howell has no direction in life. No real friends, a job he hates, and suppressing a huge part of his identity, the end of summer 2009 is looming.
Then, he begins to see a boy in reflections, a boy with black hair and blue eyes he swears he could swim in. And then his entire world falls apart at the seams.Bookmarked by red-string-of-phate (gary_goldstein)

Summary
The man hovering over him leaned back, releasing Grian completely. Cold night air rushed in to fill the void.
“I guess it’s out in the open now,” the stranger hummed. “Shame. I wanted to avoid this.”
With the additional glow occupying the space between them, Grian was finally able to catch features that were lost in the prior darkness. His curiosity outweighed all else, and he drank them in greedily. As soon as he saw who sat across from him, alarms blared in his mind.
This man wasn’t a civilian, wasn’t even a hero.
“Hello, Doctor,” the villain mused. “You were quite the help today.”
- or -
Grian is a vet. After a chance encounter in the dead of night, during which he accidentally saves a villain from the brink of death, he suddenly finds himself entangled in a world beyond anything he could've ever imagined.

Asking people out on their workplace is bad and wrong and Paul would never dream of doing that, ever, in his life. Ted, though, has much less squalms and Emma as it turns out, even less. Paul and Emma’s first date, includes a little fun :)
No apotheosis AU where no one fucking dies.

Summary
Emma's idea is simple enough: begin sleeping with the awkward guy from Beanies as a distraction from her shitty life. No rules, no strings, just fun. However, real life is never simple, and Oh My God, now she is in for a realization.
This fic is inspired by this wonderful song from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.
