    Summary

    But Phil had thought those were just stories. Stories that people would stumble upon online or hear from a friend, that’d make them think of how lucky they were that it didn’t happen to them.

    Phil's comfortable yet decidedly average life gets turned upside down when he ends up bonded to a barista that he's exchanged about three sentences with.

    Summary

    “Uh,” a voice that isn’t Phil’s, and it isn’t his, except it is, says from the door, and they both flinch and look up at the same time, Dan propped up in Phil’s lap, speechless.

    In the door to their bedroom stands Dan, except Dan is pretty sure that he’s in the bed and also, he’s not that young anymore. The face of the other Dan is smooth, free of any crease, full, his curls shorter, his expression lost. He stands pressed against the side of the doorframe, arms wrapped around himself like a security blanket.

    “Dafuq?”

    In 2016, a younger Dan attempts suicide and wakes up in his own future.

    Summary

    “Are you– are you full though?”

    “I’ve taken the safe amount,” he says, which Dan understands means ‘no’. “Do you need anything else?” Phil adds, glancing at him. “Uhm– a shower maybe?”

    So he knows. Great.

    The only thing worse than coming in your pants like a pubescent school boy at the thought of being drained of every last drop of blood, is the guy who was sucking your blood to notice.

    Dan really needs some money to pay his rent. Phil really needs blood to survive. It's a pretty good deal, and Dan gets a lot more than he bargained for.

    Summary

    Baby!fic in which one day, Phil wakes up with a baby in his bedroom and finds out that apparently he and Dan are the only ones who don't know where this baby came from, as everybody else claims that it's Phil's. What happens next is they then end up raising a baby together, with no less than a few existential crises from both of them along the way, as well as plenty of blunders and mishaps. Oh, and through it all, Phil starts falling for Dan but doesn't dare tell him because he can't risk losing his best friend.

    Summary

    Dan had always hunched and folded inwards, masking his height because he never felt six foot three. He only occupied about four inches somewhere in his small intestine, and all the other flesh and bone felt superfluous. His therapist recommended exercise, his doctor prescribed physiotherapy, and in the process, he found himself. And, to his eternal delight, discovered he could pick up Phil, and even squat with him.

    Based on the latest phodcast episode in which Dan dropped the sickest bespoke fic prompt: "sometimes I do Phil squats and he hates it."

    A solo tour was the perfect opportunity for Dan to spread his wings as a separate creator. It was the perfect opportunity to prove that they could function separately. God, it sucked so bad. Thank Christ for video chats...

    Summary

    “Your family’s nice,” Dan says quietly.

    “Dan, are you okay?” Phil asks, “Your heart’s pounding.”

    “Yeah. Yeah. I’m okay.” How can Dan explain that he isn’t just okay? He’s so much better. “Thanks for having me.”

    Phil’s answer is quiet with exhaustion and muffled by Dan’s chest, but Dan hears him loud and clear.
    “Always.”

    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.

    “You were weird kids,” says Nigel, to bridge the moment, but even stoic, quiet Nigel looks touched.

    “We’re weird adults,” Dan quips back.

    “Thank God for that, we don’t know what we’d have done if Phil had brought home someone normal,” Martyn grins.

    “Just… be happy, okay?”

    That’s the last thing Dan says before he gently lets the door fall into its lock behind him, the soft clicking more resounding, more final than any slam could’ve been.

    Phil can handle a loud fight – Dan always comes back after those.

    He’s not sure how to handle this soft goodbye into the night.

    Dan leaves.

    Phil doesn't know how to bring him back home - he just knows he has to.

    Summary

    It’s November of 2015, and Dan and Phil have just finished their UK leg of The Amazing Tour Is Not on Fire. They’ve sworn off the romantic side of their relationship in order to protect the rest of this life they’ve built. However, with all of the close proximity of touring, their connection feels headier and more charged than ever. As soon as the UK tour ends, they fly to the US for a quick book-signing trip, but they become snowed in by a blizzard in Chicago. In the solitude of their shared hotel room, can they fumble their way back to one another?

    Featuring: Pining, lots of fluff, the TATINOF UK afterparty in all its glory, an arcade bar in snowy Chicago, a NYTimes How to Fall in Love quiz, lots of introspective musing about how much these idiots adore one another, and some well-earned smut.

    Summary

    The ice that binds him. The glittering spirits that feed him. The sigil of his house. The vermilion that will set him free.

    From 2015 to 2017, Dan and Phil put out a trilogy of April Fool’s pranks creating crafts that were silly and a bit Satanic. They made their dramatic return in 2024 by summoning a goat demon.

    Or did they?

    Dan and Phil accidentally summoned a demon while making a DanAndPhilCRAFTS video in 2017. Dealing with the pressure of moving apartments, touring the world, coming out, and a stressful lockdown, they were stuck living with a pizza-loving, goat-shaped roommate from the underworld for seven long years. Keeping it a secret and keeping a demon in check was nearly enough to make them snap. When they returned to crafting in 2024, they weren’t summoning a demon - they were finally banishing him back to hell.

    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
