    Summary

    He thinks, sometimes, in the afterglow of sex and high hormones, that he wouldn't mind dating Phil. Anyone would be lucky to date him – he knows that for a fact. Phil would be the most caring and attentive partner in the world. He'd make you soup when you were sick even though he hates soup. He'd buy you chocolates just because he felt you were a bit sad, even though you're a bit sad a lot. And he'd take whatever you had to give, and he wouldn't ask for any more than you offered even though he deserved the sun, the moon, and all of the universe's creations.

    So that's why he also knows he can't date Phil. And that, really, he should start putting some distance between them. Phil would see soon that Dan's bad days outnumber his good, and although he has so far managed to keep Phil sheltered away from the worst of it, nobody could love him at his most self-destructive. He'll lose it eventually, and he'll shout and he'll swear and he'll push, and Phil doesn't deserve any of that.

    So, yes, Dan should start putting some distance between them.

    -

    All the ways Dan and Phil have defined their relationship over the years in an attempt to avoid the word 'boyfriends'.

    Summary

    Although Phil didn’t want to take his eyes off of the two people in front of him, he shouted back to the kidnapped person, “Hey mate, do you know why these dumbasses kidnapped you?”

    There was a heavy pause before a hoarse voice asked, “Wait, are you talking to me?”

    Phil briefly glanced over his shoulder at the figure. He was hanging upside down, his hands tied behind his back and feet bound with chains.

    “Yes, I’m talking to you, the guy hanging from the fucking ceiling. Why did these guys kidnap you?”

    “I don’t know! I’ve never seen them before in my life!” The guy cried out. “Please get me out of here I’ve been tied up for-”

    “Don’t worry. I’m gonna get you out,” Phil said, earning himself a sharp look from the person he was still pointing his sword at. “Consider it payment for breaking my window.”

    or, as a mercenary in the nuclear wasteland, Phil has met quite a few interesting people in his day. Now with two kids in his care, he has to be more careful about who he gives his trust to than ever before.

    or or, death family in the nuclear apocalypse

    Summary

    Karl Jacobs was leaning on his friend, red cup in hand, laughing happily. Sapnap didn’t know him then, didn’t know his name or anything about him, except his laugh and smile and purple sweater. He sat up, struggling to balance. Dream’s laughter cut through, interrupting Karl in Sapnap’s mind, and he clumsily hit Dream on the mouth to shut up.
    “What is it?” Dream asked, grabbing Sapnap’s shoulder to keep him up.
    “Pretty,” Sapnap said.
    -
    Sapnap has never been very good at love, never had the best luck. But then he follows his friend to college, drinks himself into oblivion, and falls in love with Karl Jacobs with the pretty sweaters and prettier eyes, and just won't leave Sapnap alone.

    Summary

    “You have fire powers,” Karl says. “You’ve known Dream since you were a child. He is the one who chose your name, because you love pandas. You had a goldfish called Mars when you were young. You had a stuffed fox too; you named it Sketcher. I-” He pauses to think. “[…] You think of Dream and George as your brothers. You thought of Punz as your brother too, but you never told Dream that.”
    Sapnap cannot say a word. He stares, eyes wide.
    The things that Karl listed are not things that the general public knows. These are small details that only his closest friends know. These are secrets that Sapnap never ever voiced – he never told Dream or George about Punz. He never ever explained that his grief for Punz is so strong because he was like a brother to him.
    It's terrifying.
    Karl looks at him, so earnest, his lips trembling. There’s wetness in his voice when he finishes. “And you love me,” he whispers. “You told me you loved me.”
    It’s terrifying. It’s abnormal, it’s worrisome, it’s alarming.
    And the scariest part is that Sapnap believes him.

    OR: the Dream Team are superheroes; Karl is a random guy who walks in and declares that he knows Sapnap.

    I always come back to this fic. Literally shaped how I picture Quackity in my head. I knew nothing of the dsmp when I read it, didn't even know who most of the characters were and still loved it. Wanna read it again someday.
