    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

    At the academy, Dan Howell is famously impossible to date. He turns down every advance with the same answer: he just isn’t interested.

    The truth is harder to explain. For years, Dan has lived another life in his dreams. One where he’s already fallen in love with someone he can’t remember when he wakes up. Then Phil Lester transfers into his course. And suddenly things start to feel… familiar.

    (Or: the strangers-to-lovers / dream soulmate AU that no one asked for, but I wrote anyway because I wanted it.)

    Summary

    Dan and Phil both have reputations for sleeping around. Their friends don't think they could hold down a relationship if they wanted to. Sounds like a challenge to them.

    In Dan's defense, tequila makes anything seem like a good idea.

    Summary

    Dan has one friend, and only because he was forced into it. Phil is loud, excitable, and irritatingly happy all of the time. Phil seems to find Dan's perpetual attitude funny, and despite Dan's best efforts to shun him and everyone else, wants to be around him all the time. That is, until Phil starts talking about Amanda Jones.

    St Anthony's Secondary is a school divided by class. Their town is split down the middle, quite literally, by a railroad that separates the affluent families from the destitute. Dan is on the very outskirts of the poor side. He has one friend, and no desire to make any more, nor to buy into the sickening popularity and wealth contest of his peers. He thought Phil felt the same. And then, out of the blue, Phil develops a worrying obsession with a girl from the other side. She embodies everything Dan hates; he tries to explain this to Phil, to no avail. As his obsession with Amanda grows, as does Dan's loathing for her. Still, it shouldn't bug Dan this much to see his friend pine some braindead bimbo relying on her boyfriend's wallet. So why does it?

    Summary

    Dan, a bartender at 'Habenero', Brighton's hottest gay club, has been obsessed with AmazingPhil, the openly gay Instagram model for a long time. In all the fantasy meet-cute scenarios Dan has imagined for he and his semi-celeb crush, none of them involved him being at work, being soaked in various liquids, or being halfway through a Saturday night hell-shift. Sometimes, life doesn't wait around for your plans.

    Summary

    October, 2009: Dan is meeting Phil for the first time tomorrow. He just has to get through this night.

    ///

    “The precious desire burning deep in Dan's gut is intoxicating and he should be so much more scared than he is. He’s still plenty terrified, but maybe just this once he can allow his heart to want this. He’ll pick up the shattered pieces later.”

    Summary

    Penelope is invited to spend her first full summer at Aubrey Hall with the Bridgertons. She now has unfettered access to Colin, who never returned for the social season after his travels the summer following the Featherington Ball.

    Canon divergence (no Whistledown, among other little shifts.)

    Essentially an imagining of what might have happened if Colin and Penelope had had more time apart, more time for Colin to fester and wilt, and more time for Penelope to “move on.” Also, what might have happened if they had had even more unsupervised access to one another.
    -
    In truth, I just wanted a very drunk Colin to show Pen some fireflies. But of course it is never that simple.
    Outline is drawn, work in progress.

    Summary

    Penelope’s eyes narrow. It is strange how quickly comfortable she has become around him in the past few days. “You’re being gross.”

    He swallows the last cube down, and elbows her playfully. “You love it.”

    And then making as much eye contact as possible, he licks the spoon clean. It is obscene.

    She cannot stop herself: “If you’re going to be disgusting, sit on the floor.”

    It whips out of her sharper than she meant it to, but something fascinating - something heart-peeling, gut-punching, pussy-melting - happens.

    He obeys her.

    Summary

    "Even if you look...” Dan falters.

    “What?” Phil says. Dan's half-smiling, avoiding Phil's eye. “Even if I look what?”

    “Like,” Dan hesitates, licking his bottom lip, and Phil's heart squeezes tight in his chest for all of half a second. “Well, you don't look like a trained killer, put it that way.”

    In which Phil's an ex vampire hunter who's entirely too preoccupied by Dan's dimple and his eyes and his laugh to notice the fact that he might actually be in love with a vampire (Sequel to Hanging Out With Corpses)

    Dan is not very good at being a girl or at being a nun, maybe because deep down she doesn't feel like either of them. She gets by pretending, though - at least until Father Philip shows up in her life.

    Summary

    “My– my name is Phil Lester,” he says and he shouldn’t. He shouldn’t pause to wait for a response, to wait for recognition, but he does.

    There is none.

    “I need some– I need some legal advice?”

    “Yes, that is sort of what I figured when you called my law firm."

    Phil wakes up in an alternate reality where Dan and he have never met and does the only thing he can think of doing: Finding Dan.

    (And then not stopping to bother him.)
