    Summary

    When you watch a man shave his face in the morning, mutter to himself while he looks for his shoes, bang his shin into the coffee table for the second time in a week and cry out in irritation—how can you help but love him?

    [...]

    In a sense, Dan has known Phil all his life. Others have known him longer, known him since he took his first breath in front of a live television audience, but it seems to Dan that no one has known him better.

    or: phil’s life is a tv show, and he’s the only one who doesn’t know. dan—actor, fan, hot for a badly dressed bottle blond—auditions for a leading role. this goes about as well as dan howell + reality tv stardom could possibly go.

    Summary

    Up in the mirror, she’s still looking back at him, pulling her gloves back on. He thought he’d lost her around the time he left that stall, a rip in his tights and a bruise forming on the roof of his mouth, but – but she’s there, and doesn’t look nearly as much a mess as he feels.

    Or: Dan loses his keys on the way home on Halloween night.

    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

    Phil crawled into bed with Dan. He gave Dan a small kiss on the side of his head and went to sleep.
    Dan didn’t know how long he’d been in bed at that point.
    All he knew was that Phil had watched at least one movie and gone to bed. And now he was in bed with him, and Dan was just pretending to sleep?
    What if something happened to Phil in his sleep, and Dan had been so ungrateful as to pretend to sleep and not properly say goodnight?
    A tear rolled down his cheek as the thought came up, but still, he couldn’t bring himself to roll over and tell Phil.
    It was going to be a rough day tomorrow.

    Or,
    Dan has depression, and some days it makes it impossible to do anything. Even just getting out of bed is a huge feat, so Phil helps to the best of his ability.

    Summary

    The thing that pisses Dan off the most is all the bullshit around vampires. So, to clear up some misconceptions;

    - The Garlic Thing is a myth made up in the 1600s by the same people who said being left handed made you a witch. (Every witch Dan met has been ambidextrous.)
    - Sunlight hurts, but it doesn’t kill. This also doesn’t affect all vampires, usually only ones who don’t have any exposure during childhood.
    - You cannot turn people. Unfortunately, it’s an affliction given at birth. Usually genetic, always bullshit.

    If you could turn people, Dan would have turned Phil years ago. When he was younger, he’d feed off of birds or squirrels in his yard— anything to avoid hurting people.

    Then Dan had met Phil via the internet, who’d been more than willing to bear his neck and let teeth sink into the muscle of his jugular. Phil burned for it, always sliding fingers into heat straightened hair and tipping his head back against the hands that cradled him so carefully.

    Summary

    The oceans have risen up and drowned out green hills. The earth's core has warmed impossibly, scorching the ground to its bones. The animals have grouped into piles and died.

    The worst of these being that you have left me.

    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.
