Fanfictions
(this is a bit long)
Got the Glow in Our Mouths (ao3) - @hunterfics
Summary: “We sat together in Chemistry,“ Dan whispers, and Phil says, “yep,” and that’s how it starts. (a high school au where Dan finds Phil and Phil finds his footing)
Ships that pass in the night (ao3) - @agingphangirl (Madophelia)
Summary: Dan and Phil are YouTubers. The catch? They’ve never met, and Phil doesn’t want them to.
Your Petals Are My Thorns - @theshyauthor
Summary: (ao3) Dan likes flowers. That’s why he grows them on his thighs whenever he has forbidden thoughts about other men. When Phil comes into his life, Dan’s small garden grows into a field.
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.
36 Questions - nokomisfics
Summary: Dan’s looking at him with that glint in his eye, that it’s-four-AM-I-am-the-opposite-of-sober-right-now look that Phil hasn’t seen in a while, and Dan hasn’t even suggested anything yet but he already knows he’s screwed. [or, the one in which Dan and Phil try out Dr. Avon’s experiment]
Blue - @washedoutgay
Summary: Dan is an artist who sees people as colours and Phil needs money.
But We Were In Screaming Colour - @calistaesthetic, @slimeboyhowell
Summary: au in which artist!dan’s idea of a romantic first date involves interrupting phil’s dissertation research and having sex in a pile of paint. this is their whirlwind relationship, as told in acrylic and prose.
I Dare You To Love Me (ao3) - starrywrite
Summary: 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.
Burn and Bloom (ao3) - @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?
Chocolate Ice Cream and Bourbon - @daeguk
Summary: After Dan meets Phil, their love reminds him never to fall in love with a writer unless he wants his ashes scattered into letters.
Closed Eyes (ao3) - Phanallamallama
Summary: Dan thought that brushing those few hairs out of Phil’s eyes would be nice, maybe placing their lips together and just lying with him as more than friends would be good too. But then he remembered Phil wasn’t there. Now those feelings felt bitter and the side of his bed that used to be owned was empty and colder than he remembered.
Happily Ever After (ao3) - @adorkablephil (kimberly_a)
Summary: Dan proposes marriage, but Phil’s reaction isn’t quite what he’d been expecting or hoping for.
Renegade - @awesomesockes
Summary: (tw) It’s World War 2. Phil, a young German soldier, is stationed in Denmark. There he meets Dan - a rebellious Danish school boy who is intent on making his job hell. But before long, they realise they have more in common than they’d have thought. How do you hide a friendship when you come from two different sides of a war?
So Many Stars - @transdimensional-void
Summary: After graduating with his law degree, Dan decides to move to Japan to teach English for a year.
Things That No Longer Need Mention (ao3) - abriata
Summary: The kissing doesn’t stop.
Two weeks later, Dan has a hand in Phil’s hair and Phil’s hand on his spine and he basically can’t feel his mouth anymore, and they were supposed to have left for the BBC ten minutes ago.
Dan still has no idea why Phil is doing the kissing thing, but it’s definitely too late to ask now.
Unashamed, wide open for joy (ao3) - @queerofcups
Summary: Dan laughs a little and says, “Oh, I, ah. I make videos. For people. Online.”“Oh!” Phil says, sounding a little surprised, but not put off. He laughs quietly, almost to himself, and says, “I do too, actually.”It turns out, “I make videos for the internet” can have multiple meanings.
Watchful - @cafephan
Summary: (ao3) Phil is part of one of the world’s most famous paranormal investigator groups, along with his friends Joe, Zoe and Louise. The never before investigated Harrowick Penitentiary catches the group’s attention, and they settle in the town for a week long investigation. Most importantly, they hope to make contact with one spirit in particular, Dan Howell, who was falsely imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit, and was murdered in the building. When Dan becomes attached to Phil, things become a lot more complicated.
