    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

    But now he ran like crazy out of the house and uh— tripped almost actually…Um… He was moving with urgency like super speed just threw on a fucking scarf and all— might have something to do with Dan the pretty guy… but uhm— I just wanted you to check on Phil yeah?

    And call back… I hope I do hear something’

    Summary

    What has he gotten himself into?

    What started as some online flirting with the vlogger he fancied has quickly become a disaster for Dan. Could this shaky, beating, warm, thing he feels for Phil be love?
    If so, what is he meant do with that?
    How is he meant to face his sexuality while simultaneously gaining online attention he never asked for?
    Most of all, how can Dan keep hold of the only thing that matters to him, Phil, without losing himself in the process?

     

    LONG FIC updating weekly in 2026 following Dan and Phil from their first time meeting online until Hard Launch era 2026.
    Character study type thing.

    Im not interested in being an archeologist, so all interactions between D and P are things that are consensually publicly available or completely fiction. Will be mostly complaint to the real life D and P canon but with some character stuff added by me

    This will depict mental health struggles.

    Summary

    For years, Christmas has been something Dan visits carefully, timed arrivals, early departures, love kept just out of frame. This year, he stays. In a house full of too many Christmas trees, bad music, and the kind of love that knows how he takes his tea, Dan learns what it means to be known, to be wanted, and to finally have a place to stay.

    Summary

    After two failed attempts, Dan is determined that this will finally be the year he and Phil make it to Christmas with Phil’s family. Healthy and without the universe sabotaging them at the last second.
    What he doesn’t account for is how terrifyingly intimate it feels to step into a version of Christmas that isn’t built on tension, silence, or survival.

    Or: A soft, domestic one-shot about anxiety, chosen family, baked goods, and the quiet realization that sometimes, home is just wherever Phil is.

    Or: I listened to the latest podcast episode and just knew I had to write about Dip and Pip's first Christmas together.

    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.”

    ~~~~

    In 2009, certified loverboy Dan Howell crosses the country to spend Christmas with his boyfriend of two months and his family. He discovers that the Lester family handles the holidays differently than Dan's family does.

    In 2025, Dan and Phil invite their families to spend Christmas in the house they built.

    This is a fic about then, and now, and a few points in between.

    Summary

    Daniel Howell and Phil Lester, two of the biggest names at BBC Radio.
    The two had infamously been at each other’s throats for years, taunts and teasing filling every interaction they had. In fact, the only thing either one of them couldn’t stand more than the other was the thing that came up most in both of their shows: soulmates. Dan in private didn’t believe in them, and Phil would change the subject every time he conveniently could.
    As show schedules change, they really need to get used to melding with the internet’s favorite discussion topic, and with their own feelings they’ve been burying for ages.
