    Summary

    Nick Nelson is a rugby prodigy, and he feels all the crushing weight of what that means. His future has never been his to choose, and he's always been okay with that if it meant making his father, rugby legend Stephane, proud. However, when a video of Nick and the boy who awakened his sexuality that Nick had purposefully kept dormant for years kissing is recorded and spread around campus, Nick's world is flipped on its axis. He's forced into a public outing he wasn't quite ready for and Nick is left to deal with the aftermath that leaves him with a lot of drama, hurt, and baggage that he’s not sure he ever wants to unpack. So, he swears off any distractions, closing the door on all of it - love and relationships and his desires to fulfill a part of himself no one else seems to want to accept. If it isn’t about rugby, if it isn’t about fulfilling his pre-determined destiny, he doesn’t entertain it. And it's all okay because all Nick wants for his last year of uni is to be someone his father can be proud of again. That is until he comes across one Charlie Spring.

    Or an au where Nick is struggling to understand himself, Charlie is trying hard to reinvent himself, and the universe is struggling to keep them apart.

    Phil writes songs that save people.
    He just doesn’t know how to save himself.

    (Or: a rockstar meets a record store owner, and it almost feels like fate. Until it doesn’t. But then it does. And then it doesn't again. And then-)

    Summary

    By definition, Dan Howell is not mentally well. He’s slowly losing hope and realizing that he’s not capable of having a ‘normal’ life with the list of mental disorders that suffocate his will to live.

    Honestly, Dan isn’t sure if it’s really worth it to try and survive.

    Until Phil Lester involuntarily steps into Dan’s life and by Phil’s definition, Dan’s more than worth it.

    Summary

    ‘My plug in baby, crucifies my enemies when I'm tired of giving' - Muse

    Daniel Howell becomes the CEO of the billion dollar fashion company, Prada, when his father finally lets Dan into the spotlight. Dan feels like he lives in a dream in his brand new penthouse apartment, every Prada store being his personal closet, and his bank account constantly overflowing with money as he becomes the newest and youngest billionaire in New York City. Until his carelessness for business comes back to bite him as his father makes the decision to temporarily sell the company to Gucci, their rivals, to fix the damage Dan created.

    Insert Phil Lester, current CEO of Gucci who does not care about Dan Howell’s perfect penthouse apartment or his feelings at all for that matter. Dan doesn't know how he’s going to survive under the new management and his father has his back against a wall leaving him almost helpless. Dan thinks he’ll just have to find a way to get under Phil’s skin and get his company back once and for all.

    Summary

    Phil is walking home when he comes across a uni student, barely conscious, confused, sobbing on a bench. He tries to figure out where he's staying, or what happened to lead to his state, but with no avail. It's well past midnight in the freezing London winter, so he does the only thing he can think of, and brings him home. Dan isn't happy.

    A nickname that goes bitter in your mouth. Cries for help that no one listens to. Gentle hands that make you quake on the ground you’re standing on. When Phil first met Nico, he thought he was a gift from the heavens. But behind the mask lies something daunting, something unnerving, that Phil never foresaw. Through his journey, he finds solace in Dan, the regular at his workplace, who seems to be the only one who sees through Nico’s mask to the darkness underneath.
