    Summary

    Dan Howell, a semi-successful contributor and one-time model for Attitude magazine is, by all accounts, struggling. So when one of his oldest friends calls with a promise of familiarity and warmth in exchange for help running their hometown community theater’s production of It’s a Wonderful Life, Dan agrees without a second thought. But the past has a way of resurfacing, and it seems like everywhere Dan turns, there is Phil Lester—his old almost-lover, now the local weatherman.

    Summary

    Dan fell into this world that he doesn't belong in completely by accident. He doesn't do art - he isn't capable. Instead he writes how he's feeling in huge, obnoxious, poorly painted letters. Pink letters, at that.

    Some people have Twitter. Dan has a can of spraypaint.

    In which Dan works in a café by day and is a graffiti artist by night. And he's hopelessly in love with his best friend Phil. Of course.

    Summary

    I understand your concern, but I don’t think we have anything to worry about here. As a hoax, or a prank, or dark satire or whatever, the video is pretty effective, and I can see why you’ve reacted so strongly. But I think it’s a mistake to take this thing at face value. Simply put - the idea that Howell would post it, if it were genuine, is nuts.

    Dan and Phil return from a seven-year hiatus with a very different kind of hard launch.

    Summary

    It starts simply—with the interlocking of pinkies.

    Phil’s remaining fingers curl against his palm as chapped lips meet the soft skin of his closed fist.

    Dan remembers it vividly. He remembers how hard his heart was beating, the uneasy flip of his stomach, and the whispered promise that it didn't have to mean anything—they were young and horny and and and Phil's lips were on his. And Dan doesn't remember much after that.

    Or: Dan and Phil have these rituals they do.

    Summary

    Phil Lester goes back to university for his third year, expecting to live in the dorms with his childhood best friend PJ. That's how it's been for the past years, after all. However, due to a mistake of some sort, he finds himself with a new roommate to spend the semester with.
    Daniel Howell, three years his junior, has rich brown eyes, a laptop to hide them behind, and not more than two words to spare in Phil's direction. Phil is no fortune teller, but he foresees the upcoming months will be filled with a whole lot of awkward silence.

    Unless, of course, Dan proves him wrong...
    Could one little mistake lead to something entirely life-changing? Perhaps it could. After all, nearly everything changes when Phil meets Dan.

    Excerpt: Dan's hair is soft against Phil's cheek, and his presence - gentle against his heart.
