    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

    For Phil and Martyn’s entire lives, Kath had been making Christmas morning extra special for them by sneaking into their rooms to leave gifts.

    On the night before Christmas in 2025, she found herself unsure how much the tradition needed to shift now that Dan was openly and officially part of the picture.

    She confirmed for herself what she’s really always known: that rather than losing a son to partake in family traditions with, she had gained one.

    ///

    “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

    AmazingPhil had been complaining about his downstairs neighbour a lot lately.

    It was just one more thing Dan could relate to.

    “Honestly, I don’t know what’s wrong with the guy,” Phil told the camera in his newest video. “There’s so much screaming coming from his apartment in the afternoons, I don’t even really try to film during day time anymore."

    Dan is a gaming YouTuber who studies law. Lately, he doesn't sleep very well because of his very loud upstairs neighbour.
    Whoever that might be.

    No one but his favorite YouTuber seems to understand.

    Summary

    Phil sighs, and does what every sensible person would do, after being abandoned by their partner of thirteen years because it’s “the best for him”.

    He opens Grindr.

    He finds some buff guy named Hank who put in a selfie in a fitness studio, posing in front of a mirror to show off sweaty biceps. His bio says “I don’t do that pronoun shit, I do protein”, and Phil knows he’s perfect.

    Dan breaks up with Phil. Phil decides to try and get him back the unconventional, yet effective route (Rage-Baiting).

    Summary

    “Uh,” a voice that isn’t Phil’s, and it isn’t his, except it is, says from the door, and they both flinch and look up at the same time, Dan propped up in Phil’s lap, speechless.

    In the door to their bedroom stands Dan, except Dan is pretty sure that he’s in the bed and also, he’s not that young anymore. The face of the other Dan is smooth, free of any crease, full, his curls shorter, his expression lost. He stands pressed against the side of the doorframe, arms wrapped around himself like a security blanket.

    “Dafuq?”

    In 2016, a younger Dan attempts suicide and wakes up in his own future.

    Summary

    “Just… be happy, okay?”

    That’s the last thing Dan says before he gently lets the door fall into its lock behind him, the soft clicking more resounding, more final than any slam could’ve been.

    Phil can handle a loud fight – Dan always comes back after those.

    He’s not sure how to handle this soft goodbye into the night.

    Dan leaves.

    Phil doesn't know how to bring him back home - he just knows he has to.
