    Summary

    Phil meets Dan at a vampire representation demonstration.

    He ends up watching him and the way he’s gnawing on his thumbnail, looking across at a stall that's selling gluten-free blood substitutes. He stands out in the crowd – not so much because of how much black he’s wearing, but his height. Phil thinks that this is first person he’s seen all day who doesn’t make him feel like a giant.

    In which Phil is a lonely ex-vampire hunter living in the city and Dan's just a pretty guy who doesn't sleep and wears a lot of black...right?

    Summary

    AU! Dan owns a popular flower shop and has more of a passion for flowers than he does for people. That is, until Phil stumbles into his shop - and consequently into his life as the two develop a fast friendship and Dan finds himself all but infatuated with him. But there's a problem: Phil's engaged and Dan is the florist for his wedding. And even more complications arise when Phil begins questioning everything he's ever known about love - and himself - when he realizes that the path to true love isn't always... straight.

    Summary

    Ivy™, also known as Intelligent Virtual Youth, was a virtual assistant of sorts who had taken the world by storm with its various accessible functions for not only improving quality of life but also aiding in mundane day-to-day tasks. Seen by the rest of the world as a simple program, no one really realised that Ivy had, at some point, grown and evolved into something more… sentient.

    Dan Howell, a recently fired 24-year-old with no real family to fall back on in his time of need, was teetering on the edge, and not sure if he had the strength to walk away from it. Maybe there was someone else out there who craved the same comfort. Maybe the two of them needed each other, and Ivy could help them– even if by using very unconventional methods.

    or: the small town love story, healing old scars and helping each other through grief, but with an added twist.

    Summary

    “Take my hand,” the strange man offers, unfazed. His voice still soft, his movements careful. His face is friendly, concerned, big eyes focused on Dan, eyebrows knit in worry. “Take my hand and I’ll pull you back in.”

    “No!” It’s almost a sob. His voice comes out broken, shoulders shaking in the cold wind. He left his jacket inside when he left in a hurry, left to escape all the people talking and laughing and living.

    “Stay where you are. Or I’ll let go.” He takes another look at the waves below, and even to his own ears it’s a hollow threat. His hands are curled around the iron in pure fear.

    “No, you won’t,” the stranger says, still with this oh-so-soft voice.

    “What do you mean I won’t?” Dan asks, affronted. “Don’t presume to know anything about me!”

    The stranger shrugs. A small smile around the corner of his mouth. “You would have done it already, if you really wanted to.” His warm smile never wavers. “Now, take my hand.”

    ------------
    Where Dan is forced to take a journey on the Titanic in the year of 1912 and a handsome stranger saves him from giving up. Over and over again. (Content note for mentioned/ almost suicide and internalised and external homophobia because this is 1912)
