A Stranger I Know Well (ao3) - SoManyRegrets
Summary: Phil has a secret boyfriend, and everyone wants to know.
Independence (ao3) - cryingdotcom
Summary: Dan is an omega. Dan’s an omega living by himself. At seventeen, still in school and working a full time job, he’s taken away from his home, and his life. A law was put in place, that any omega couldn’t live alone. Dan was taken to an orphanage of sorts, and he’s not going to be let out without an alpha by his side. Dan expected to never leave.
I Want To Shout It From The Rooftops - cafephan
Summary: In which keeping their relationship a secret is proving too difficult, and one is wishing for change.
Like Father, Like Son (ao3) - INeverHadMyInternetPhase
Summary: Phil is a good teacher, he is. He just can’t control Samuel Howell. And turns out he can’t control Samuel Howell’s single dad, either. (Or, the one where Dan’s a single dad and a bad influence, and Phil’s the teacher who has to deal with the consequences)
The Warmth of Other Suns (ao3) - Emptylester (timelordangel)
Summary: The entire time Dan and Phil are in America, Dan is technically pregnant- but he’s the only one one who doesn’t talk about it like he’s sick with a cancerous growth that needs to be removed as soon as possible. It’s pretty horrible to have hope that you’ll get to have a biological kid with your significant other and then have it ripped away; this is more about the emotional journey. The baby might not make it, but Dan and Phil will.
Burn and Bloom - jilliancares
Summary: Phil’s been hiding the fact that he’s an Earthbender for ten years, ever since it’s been considered illegal when the Fire Nation invaded. And, of course, the only solution to a random Fire Nation soldier seeing him earthbending is to kidnap him, right?
Daddy’s Punk Princess - elliesfics
Summary: When Dan is out late at night trespassing at his local park, it really is no surprise when the nearest officer interrupts his plans. What those plans entailed? Well that might explain the massive problem Dan has to deal with when he gets stuck in the back of a cop-car. Not to mention a fucking gorgeous cop’s car.
I don’t blame you much (for wanting to be free) (ao3) - The_Blonde
Summary: Phil first saw Dan, in a tiny museum in Manchester, wearing a nametag that said Dylan, cleaning one tiny patch of floor over and over, fringe falling in his eyes, staring at The Sea at Saintes-Maries like it was the best thing he had ever seen, like he was looking at something behind it, something hidden. Phil had said “hey, that’s my favourite too. Everyone always walks straight past it” and Dan had jumped like a startled cat and then instantly scurried off. Phil had thought no wait stay. And Dan hadn’t, obviously.
Let Me Down Gently - ineverhadmyinternetphase
Summary: AU in which Dan is (briefly) a lawyer, until he gets fired and kicked out by his girlfriend. Wandering alone at night looking for a place to stay, he happens across a slightly strange man who introduces himself as Phil and who owns a B&B. Without much choice, Dan takes up the offer to stay there, and quickly grows to have a certain fondness for Phil. There’s only one problem: Phil runs the B&B with his long-term partner Alex.
Love is in the Air (Please Make it Stop) (ao3) - parentaladvisorybullshitcontent
Summary: In which Phil works in a coffee shop and Dan’s a customer who may or may not have been cursed by Cupid. Either way, there are an awful lot of kissing couples around.
My Love is on the High Seas (ao3) - TheKidFromYesterday
Summary: After being accidentally kidnapped by pirates, Dan realizes that just maybe, his heart has been stolen as well.
Wishes Don’t Last Forever - crescendohowell
Summary: One day, when Phil’s feeling particularly alone, he wishes on a star for a friend. He never expected it to work, but all of a sudden there’s a boy named Dan that he keeps running into who helps Phil to realise what it’s like to finally feel better, after being broken for so long. But there’s something Dan’s not telling Phil, or maybe Phil’s just too distracted by soft smiles and cute freckles to see what’s really happening.
Catch In The Dark - mangothatismelancholy
Summary: Dan and Phil keep falling back together, so how come they always stand up again on their own?
Emergency Substitute (ao3) - parentaladvisorybullshitcontent
Summary: In which Dan is roped into playing Quidditch when all he really wants is a quiet life. And for Phil to never leave Hogwarts.
Summary: When Dan met Phil, she never thought an eighteen-year-old boy could change his son’s life in that way and how he could become family to her. Or, a reflexion of Dan and Phil’s relationship through the years in Phil’s mum point of view.
Fifty Kisses to Christmas (ao3) - nokomisfics
Summary: Phil gives Dan fifty kisses for Christmas.
Hidden Behind Straightened Hair - insanityplaysfics
Summary: The fives times Dan’s hair was used as a joke to hide his insecurity about his sexuality, and the one time it wasn’t.
Choking On Your Alibi (ao3) - zinther
Summary: When Dan had first responded to a stranger’s roommate ad, he figured they’d be like acquaintances living together; simply exchanging pleasantries now and then. However as it happens they had quickly become good friends. But what will happen when Dan walks in on Phil hooking up with another guy?
Not Quite Normal - cocktailaunt
Summary: In which Phil is aromantic and he’s desperate for someone to understand.
The Harvest for the Seed (ao3) - cosmogeny
Summary: Phil’s gone away for a family reunion and Dan is left at home to contemplate the various ways he shouldn’t come out.
with open eyes so we could see (ao3) - peterdonaldson
Summary: In retrospect, Dan thinks it’s pretty ironic that it’s the internet which diagnoses the fact that he has an actual, legitimate crush on Phil.
As Sweet As Devotion (ao3) - cafephan
Summary: Sick of a failure of a love life, Dan applies for a show which claims to pair him with his scientifically proven soulmate, in both personality and appearance alike. The catch? He’ll see and meet them for the very first time on their wedding day. He’s paired with a man named Phil, and thus begins the rest of his life, marital bliss with a complete stranger.
Phil Lester And The Boy Who Spoiled (ao3) - LauraLittlemiss
Read My Mind - phillestatos
Summary: Soulmate AU where everything is the same, except Dan and Phil can enter each other’s minds and they use it to help each other out of bad situations. After all, all they truly need is each other.
