    Summary

    They met her after tour. Martyn’s friend’s dog had puppies and Phil fell in love at first sight. Dan did too, but he’ll deny it if you ask.

    Dan tries to keep his distance, because she’s Phil’s dog not his, but she isn’t having any of it.

    Summary

    He looks like he does on screen, black emo hair a little like a very attractive bird’s nest, with yellow-checkered cat ears on his head, but unmistakably Phil. Dan is shocked, genuinely, that not everyone here falls head over heels for this man immediately. Surely they must. Surely they’re just doing a better job than Dan is at keeping it in. Maybe he’s not gay, maybe this is just what Phil does to people.

    “Hi,” Phil says. “You’ve got nice whiskers.”

    Dan chose the safety of a girlfriend over Phil, and now he meets Phil in real life for the first time at a YouTuber meetup. And for the first time. And for the first time. And for the- It's a time loop fic.

    Summary

    Dan never uploaded a single YouTube video. After falling deeply in love with Phil in 2009 and filming a few videos with him, their developing relationship took a hard hit when Dan was not accepted to the University of Manchester, and they drifted apart in 2011. Phil never became a famous YouTuber without Dan.

    In 2026, Dan is struggling™, and his therapist recommends physiotherapy for health issues that his GP can’t deal with. Imagine Dan’s surprise when the PT comes in wearing a t-shirt he bought for Phil all those years ago…

    Summary

    "I'm not pretending that I know what you need," Phil nuanced, "but I guess I can say that I know you pretty well—"

    Dan's laugh at the euphemism made him pause, a grin tugging at his own lips.

    "What I mean is, I imagine it as pressure, you know?" He didn't know himself. He had two degrees but pressure was part of none of them. It didn't matter. "The more you keep the valve closed, the more chances you have to explode—or, I guess, in your case, to get drunk on an entire bottle of wine and cry alone on our balcony."

    What happens when you realise you need to come out but your feelings for your best friend and roommate of ten years get in the way.
    Or, the process between writing "Basically I'm Gay" and releasing the video (plus some more).

    Summary

    Dan and Phil broke up in 2017. Today, Phil is a (slutty) gay media personality with a string of unsuccessful relationships and Dan is a (closeted) standup comedian with virtually no friends. The two of them have history — a lot of it. Stalkers, birthdays, suicide attempts and radio shows. Laughter, tears, codepency, growth. Much time has passed since they decided to put an end to all that.

    When Dan’s manager persuades him to go on Phil’s podcast in order to promote his new tour, the both of them reconnect, just as Dan is contemplating a public coming out. Meanwhile, having once again broken up with someone who wasn’t quite the one, Phil is starting to believe he might just not be made for relationships.

    Does eight years really mean anything, in the face of chemistry?

    Summary

    "I would practice with a guy," he tells the screen. Phil's jaw moves, but he doesn't take his eyes off the television. 

    "Really?" 

    "Sure. It's just kissing." He doesn't recognize his own voice.

    Phil takes a deep breath. Swallows. 

    "Would you practice with me?"

    Summary

    Before Dan leaves for his solo tour, Phil has a bit of a crisis about the fact that their relationship is the only one Dan has ever been in. He starts to worry that Dan feels confined by their relationship the same way he feels confined by their brand, and he makes Dan an offer that's not simple to navigate.

    And Dan? Well, Dan is mostly just confused.

    ---

    basically they consider opening their relationship before WAD but are reminded of what's been made evident since the hard launch: these freaks are literally only compatible with or interested in each other.

    Summary

    Meeting up had been strange.

    In between endless text messages and Skype calls, Dan had almost convinced himself that the man on the other side of his screen wasn’t a real person. A wonderful fantasy living in his shitty laptop screen.

    And he said so many things he would’ve never dared to say out loud in those late hours of the night. And he fell asleep behind the counter at the job he hated because he’d stayed up talking with Phil into the early morning hours.

    And then suddenly he’d booked himself train tickets to Manchester.

    --or--

    A look at a few key moments in their lives and how, despite it all, things will turn out alright.

    Dan and Phil have this friend that comes over for monthly board game night.

    Summary

    Phil is haunting Dan. He sees him when he walks into rooms, curled up on the couch watching Buffy or thumbing through an old photo album of them together. Dan doesn’t believe it at first, because he’s a skeptic, but it soon becomes impossible to ignore.

    Things may not be what they seem though- and there may be a way they can get their happy ending after all.

    Summary

    This was Dan's one chance for a fresh start. A brand new Dan Howell. Dan Howell the cool, confident alpha with a brand-new YouTube account and a love of Muse.

    It was a significant improvement on Dan Howell the lame, pathetic omega everyone had tormented for years at school. But that was hours behind him now. This was Manchester, where no one would know anything about him he wasn’t prepared to divulge. As far as anyone here knew, Dan was an alpha and had always been an alpha.

    He just wasn’t sure his disguise would fool Phil.

    --

    Dan's hiding that he's an omega. Phil's hiding that he's an alpha. What could possibly go wrong?
