    Summary

    Dan Howell’s summer is no different from any other, except for the fact that he’s due to start university at the end of it. With only two weeks left, he’s found himself on the precipice of a depressive episode. He’s following his passion in music, something he’s ached to do since forever, and yet there is still so much missing from his life.

    Phil Lester just so happens to suck at one particular boss of a video game, and needs whatever help he can get. So, he does what he’s never done before: he sends an unsolicited message to a complete stranger online in the hopes of receiving the advice he’s looking for.

    Summary

    “So it wasn’t a long story,” Dan says flatly, to the back of Phil’s head. “You just snooped in your new email and thought crashing a holiday party you weren’t actually invited to would be fun.”

    Phil shrugs. “I guess you could say that. Booth?”

    “Yeah,” Dan says. “You’re psychotic.”

    *

    Dan and Phil meet at a holiday work party and u-haul it in their own special codependent way.

    Summary

    The first time Dan Howell meets a certain well dressed, bad mannered blond theatre producer while working the stage door desk, he's left seething, tense and just a little bit turned on. Unfortunately for Dan, he's going to have to see a lot more of this producer, and one way or another he'll make him sorry for behaving like a brat.

    Summary

    Phil needs a boyfriend for a family gathering.
    Not a real one. Just someone to stop the questions, silence the hopeful glances and prove, once and for all, that he’s doing just fine.

    Dan agrees. Far too easily.

    Or: What’s supposed to be a simple weekend of pretending quickly turns into shared beds, knowing looks, and the uncomfortable realization that playing a role feels a little too natural.

    Or: Phil asks the hot paramedic he met after a very unfortunate glue-eating incident to be his fake boyfriend.

    Summary

    Phil really did not expect that accidentally eating super glue would get him the number of an attractive paramedic.
    But somehow, it did.

    What follows are text messages, questionable jokes, and - between catboys and Final Fantasy - an undeniably chaotic connection.

    Or: What Dan and Phil text each other, except it’s a different AU where Phil ate glue and Dan was the paramedic.

    (Part 2 of my series "Sticking Together", but can probably be read as a stand-alone.)

    Summary

    Phil really did not intend to eat glue. He only meant to fix his broken glasses and accidentally swallowed it instead.
    His embarrassment skyrockets, especially once the paramedic arrives and Phil realizes, with alarming clarity, just how attractive he actually is.

    Or: Phil tries to fix his broken glasses with super glue at three in the morning. He eats the super glue instead. Panic ensues. Paramedics are called.
    Phil does not die but he might get a phone number out of it.

    Or: Alternate universe - Phil's glue eating accident but Dan and him haven't met. Yet.

    Summary

    A lot of things about Dan's life are pretty great. He gets to make the music he wants, he's got a great fanbase, and his manager is his best friend. A few things about his life suck a bit more. He's currently lacking inspiration, he's rather lonely, and he's stuck in a rut.

    Dan's been going to the same coffee shop for years. It's quiet, it's quaint, it's near his home. Most importantly: none of the employees give a shit that's he a world-famous singer. Things change when he meets the new barista.

    ***

    A story about learning to be better at communication and figuring out how to shape your life into something that makes you happy and practicing vulnerability.

    Phil isn’t exactly happy about this.
    To put it lightly, he fucking hates it here.

    Summary

    It started when he was seventeen. The royal family was parading about the kingdom on their royal progress celebrating the new decade. The whole village was out to see them go past and wave politely in their posh outfits and gold jewellery. Dan, honestly, couldn’t give a fuck, but he was dragged out by his family nevertheless.

    Then he saw him. The Prince. He looked angelic, white-blond hair and pale skin catching the sun in a way that made him seem like he was glowing. And god, was he pretty, big blue eyes, full lips and a genuine smile across his face. Dan was smitten, just like that, his heart lost to the handsome man. And it wasn’t just attraction, Dan felt like there was something more there, some invisible force, like a string wrapped around his heart, drawing him to the Prince.

    Or

    A Dom/sub medieval fantasy AU with crossdressing, smut, and Dan feeding Phil grapes like the Princess he is. Knight!Dan and Prince!Phil fall in love, but what happens when Dan stumbles upon a secret Phil's been keeping from him?
