    Summary

    dan’s a lawyer who’s too good at pretending that nothing gets to him. phil’s a forensic linguist who sees the truth in everything; voice stress patterns, syntax choices, the way dan’s jaw tightens when someone calls him cold.

    they’re thrown together on a case that’s already a disaster; where the evidence doesn’t add up and the witnesses keep lying.
    it’s long nights in cramped offices. it’s coffee gone cold. it’s dan pacing while phil quietly listens. it’s dan’s voice cracking just once. it’s phil knowing exactly what he meant.

    somewhere between affidavits and tape transcripts, they stop being just coworkers.
    maybe they were never just coworkers.

    or;

    alternate universe where dan finished uni and is a lawyer and he and phil did not become youtubers
