Wrote a quick little fic about their Philippines vacation!

Tropical Phantasy

Rating: G • Words: 1,129

Summary: "Dan doesn’t give a fuck anymore. He has some precious time alone with Phil, a private villa with a pool that’s just a few minutes’ walk from the beach, and the freedom to do whatever the hell he wants with that. He’s busy enjoying life, and everything else can wait." Dan and Phil are on a much-needed holiday in the Philippines. People might've pieced together that they were traveling, but they never figured out where, and it's certainly not going to stop them from enjoying a tropical paradise.

Ice Cream and a Corgi

Rating: G • Words: 1,351

Summary: "I feel better when you're here." Phil should know by now not to push himself too far and take his health for granted. Most of the time he's pretty good at it, but migraines are unpredictable. In his ideal world none of this would happen in the first place, but if he can't avoid it, a bit of daydreaming with Dan by his side makes it all just a tiny bit more bearable.

Hello crafties, it's finally time...

Lying Makes You Go to Hell

The ice that binds him. The glittering spirits that feed him. The sigil of his house. The vermilion that will set him free.

From 2015 to 2017, Dan and Phil put out a trilogy of April Fool’s pranks creating crafts that were silly and a bit Satanic. They made their dramatic return in 2024 by summoning a goat demon.

Or did they?

Dan and Phil accidentally summoned a demon while making a DanAndPhilCRAFTS video in 2017. Dealing with the pressure of moving apartments, touring the world, coming out, and a stressful lockdown, they were stuck living with a pizza-loving, goat-shaped roommate from the underworld for seven long years. Keeping it a secret and keeping a demon in check was nearly enough to make them snap. When they returned to crafting in 2024, they weren’t summoning a demon - they were finally banishing him back to hell.

Hey so I finally wrote the fic about sometimes wishing to be a jellyfish to avoid the weight of human expectations but also there's some weird facts about jellyfish in it because why not. Anyway.

Summary: “Do you think it would be relaxing to be a jellyfish?” Phil asks, as if reading his mind. “Like they have no stress, nothing to worry about. Just floating along in the waves.”

Dan and Phil have been to dozens of aquariums in different cities around the world, but the ocean is a strange place that keeps drawing them back to learn more.

short fluffy fic for ya this evening :)

Together

Rating: G • Words: 850

Summary: It's not as if they're never affectionate with one another after nearly sixteen years together, but out in London Dan and Phil have always been careful how they act when other people could see. It’s such a small thing to just hold hands as they walk home, but sometimes it feels a lot bigger than that.
