Summary:
Phil Lester likes working at the little cafe he's been at for awhile. It's nice, calm, and he feels accepted for being gay there unlike what he knew before.
When the cafe's owners bring in a new piano player to entertain on Friday nights, Phil finds his world thrown upside down by the stranger who's captured his attention (and who the owners think he has a crush on, which he does not thank you very much)

Hi guys! We want to thank everyone who took the time to join the event and make it super fun as always. This is the masterlist of all the amazing fics and art pieces created for the event. Don't forget to share share share!
Sparks Fly by @counting2fifteen: Dan and Phil’s vacation after Vidcon is going well, until a mistake from Phil sets the whole thing up in flames. Beta: @catboydan. ART by @schnaphan
Raise the Woof by @paradisobound: Dan started his own dog bakery after a trip through Pinterest gave him the idea of baking a cake for his family dog Colin. The bakery is a success and Dan loves the fact that he gets regular customers coming in all the time to order cupcakes. One customer, in particular, comes in every day and goes by the name of Phil. But Phil never brings a dog with him…Why? Phil is a werewolf and likes eating the cupcakes himself. Beta: @through-this-night. ART by @effingmeteors
Opposites Attract by @succubusphan: Phil comes home and finds a letter. Beta: @effingmeteors. ART by @schnaphan
Youth -Season 2- by @r3ad3r1: Dan and Phil are both young actors at the beginning of their careers: after being minor characters in the TV series “Youth” they are going to be the focus of season 2.
They come from different backgrounds: Dan has a family involved in the business, Phil does not.
They have different attitudes: Dan stays with producers and directors, Phil hangs out with the other actors.
Let’s see if being boyfriends on-screen will affect them in real life. Beta: @catboydan. ART by @anironsidh
I'm happy at home (happy at home) You're my best friend by @anironsidh. Phil decides to go back to university for his PhD in English while Dan works on writing his book, but they must find a way to stay close while it feels like their lives are going in separate directions. Beta: @indistinct-echo. ART by @isthisadrawingiseebeforeme
blind date gone wrong?! (not clickbait!) by @overmayhead: When Phil gets stood up at a blind date his colleague Bryony arranged for him, he certainly doesn’t expect the evening to end with a kiss in the pouring rain in front of a load of supermarket bins after almost sneezing his brains out. Beta: @microoowave. ART by @hiwatari-art
Forever Home by @possumdnp: Phil’s wanted a dog for as long as he can remember, and now that he and Dan are moving into their new house, it’s the perfect opportunity. But there’s just one problem. Phil’s allergic to dogs. Beta: @microoowave. ART by @unicornosaur
something so magic about you by @silentdescant: Under the full moon isn’t the only time Dan and Phil do business in the forest, but it is certainly the time of month they do the most business. Phil thinks it’s because that’s when all of the supernaturally-inclined creatures come out to play, but Dan’s cynicism bleeds through whenever he argues that it’s just because the full moon “seems witchy” and that it’s akin to a tourist trap. Phil rolls his eyes, every time.
or: Dan believes that magic exists; he sees evidence of it every day with Phil. He just doesn’t believe he has any magic of his own. Beta: @stefycubi94. ART by @sevensforasecret
With enchantment on your side by @jestbee: Dan finds photos, and then he finds the person in them. Beta: Lackless. ART by @jorzuela.
Somebody find me, find me love by @anironsidh: Phil Lester likes working at the little cafe he's been at for awhile. It's nice, calm, and he feels accepted for being gay there unlike what he knew before.

won’t let you pass me by by @glowingatmosphere: When Phil walks into work that Thursday evening, there’s someone new sitting in Cornelia’s place at the piano. Beta: @irrationalqueer. ART by @marranje
Ride Into The Setting Sun Tonight by @succubusphan and @icequeenjules26: The start of a new season gives Dan the opportunity to finally win the world championship but his animosity with Lester and his reckless behaviour could ruin it all. Art by @toffeelemon.
Reasons why (Dan and Phil’s vacation) are a fail by @kneebleed: A series of a few unfortunate events that occurred to (kind of) rich people during their vacation. Beta: @indistinct-echo. ART by @paradisobound
off the record by @fictropes: His entire life is just going round and round in really fast circles, at least that’s what he tells interviewers when they try and pry a little too much. Beta: @sierraadeux. ART by @toffeelemon
Wouldn't it Be Nice by @succubusphan: Dab’s life is in shambles, his most precious friendship is in danger, but maybe a change of scenery could help. Beta: @through-this-night. ART by @polar-bears-making-pancakes
As Fate (or a really weird guy named David) Would Have It by @husbants: Phil has been stood up. Just as he’s leaving, a frantic (and absolutely handsome) guy rushes in the restaurant, looking for his own first date. Maybe tonight won’t be as bad as it once seemed it would. Beta: @paradisobound. ART: @hiwatari-art
I'm happy at home (happy at home) You're my best friend

Phil let out a sigh of relief as he turned the key to their new house and walked in. The living room lights were off but Dan had left two lamps on for him - as he usually did - to keep him safe from any tripping hazards. It was a small gesture but Phil was still grateful for it, considering how stressed and worried Dan must have been while he was out. He left the keys on the console table, removed his shoes, and padded to the piano.
There was a folded note from Dan, quite lengthy too, so Phil yawned and rubbed his face tiredly, stretching his arms above his head and elongating his spine until he heard a pop before taking a seat at the stool. He tried to focus his eyes on the page but found it difficult through his murky glasses, so he wiped them on his T-shirt with a huff and started reading.
“Last week, when I went back to my mum’s house, I took a moment away from the family and went forest bathing and it got me thinking about us. About us as individuals and as a couple. About everything that we are to ourselves and to each other. Every aspect of nature reminded me of you because you are everywhere in my life; there’s not a single corner of it that doesn’t have Phil written over it and that’s exactly how I want it because I remember how it was before you came into my life.
I still remember what it all felt like when we met. I was in a dark cave, waiting to be at the end of the rope but I found you. You were there, waiting for me, you became my light without meaning to. My life changed completely just by watching your videos.
Before you, everything was deemed pointless and quickly abandoned. Every hobby, every project, every relationship, but not you.
When I saw you, it felt like a small window had opened and sunlight could pierce through the darkness for the first time. Then I met you and I knew I was nothing compared to you, I was nobody and you were too good for me, but you didn’t care. You saw me, you reached out to me, extending your hand and got straight into my soul. No walls could keep you out; you saw right through my lies, my deflection, and my avoidance. You became my safe space and allowed me to be myself and I decided to never let go.
You taught me to let go of the things that were weighing me down if I didn’t really want them, you helped me stick to what I was passionate about and, most importantly, you helped me become the person that I am today. Yes, I worked very hard on myself and I still do, but I don’t think I would have ever taken another chance with therapy if it wasn’t for your love and support. I put you through a lot back then, but you believed in me. You waited for me, waited until I felt like I could be open. Thank you.
If I had known where we would be in 2021, I would have probably run in the opposite direction. It’s so much. Does it ever drive you crazy just how fast the night changes? Every day I get to wake up to the love of my life sleeping in my arms, snoring softly with a small pout on his face, and we are free. I am free and you were there cheering me on every step of the way. You never pushed me even though I know you probably wanted to sometimes, you just knew.
It’s true that people laughed a bit when I called you my soulmate but I don’t care, that’s what you are. I don’t care if I don’t believe in that shit. To me, you are the only person that will ever be. Thanks to you I get to work side by side with my partner in crime in every project, no matter if it’s his or mine or ours; we are always there for each other, sharing the highs and the lows and driving each other crazy in every possible way.
It’s funny - in a way - because we have so much in common but we are opposites as well. Well, at least where it matters. We were made, created by the universe, two clumps of carbon atoms travelling through the solar system that conveyed into the cells that later became us. And even as we came into this world and grew up, every experience we had, kept moulding us to be perfect for each other because we are imperfect, because we were hurt and ostracized, because we liked the same things, because we laughed and loved and hurt over the same things.
But in the end, those experiences shaped us into two very different beings. You were brave and proud, even if a little bit; I was a coward and ashamed. You had a lot of friends; I was alone. You were sweet and caring; I was cold and distant. But once we met, you had cold hands and feet and I became your warmth. You were looking for someone who would love you above anyone else and I gave you that. You needed a partner for all of your crazy projects that would help and encourage you and I was that for you, just like you were for me.
I think that’s why people say that opposites attract. That can be the case if you think about it carefully: It’s like a puzzle. Two pieces shaped exactly the same will never fit together, but if you put two complementary shapes together they will click easily and become one. That is why I think that we were meant for each other. It was always going to be us. I don’t know what kind of magic spell or prepayment in a different life made this happen, but I’m fucking grateful that it happened.
Loving you so much is also a curse sometimes. I’m not going to lie; I often joke when you get into one of your freak accidents because making light of the situation helps me cope until I can get you to a doctor and confirm that your time being an absolute menace in my life is not coming to an end. Today was different though. For fucks sake Phil, we just moved after months and months of waiting and stressing and we are in the literal climatic and epidemiologic apocalypse and you decide to swallow some fucking glue at 2 am. I thought I was going to die, but I honestly didn’t want to without having the opportunity to drag you to hell with me (I’m petty like that).
You don’t know how hard it was to watch you leave in that ambulance and not be able to be there with you. It’s one of the things that keeps me sane when you inevitably end up in the hospital every few months. I just want to be there, bringing you sweets, keeping you company, playing video games with you, and above all else, checking that you didn’t fucking die. I couldn’t do that this time and it’s driving me up the wall.
It’s 6 am now. I’ve unpacked a few more boxes and arranged everything neatly on the shelves in our bedroom. I wanted to wait up for you and see that you are ok but I’m too tired to continue and my body is sore and my eyes too because I missed you and I started crying thinking the worst. Please, do come join me in bed, wrap your arms around me and keep me safe from the nightmares that will surely follow. All I ask in compensation for putting me through this is that you wear this ring from this moment on…”
Phil gasped. It couldn’t be, could it? Would Dan actually propose in the middle of this ordeal?
He looked around with a smile but didn’t see anything else, so he checked under the piano lid, there laid a note saying “Naughty, do not eat!” with a warning sign and the bottle of glue sitting on top. Beside it, there was an almost white and uneven ring made out of some sort of melted plastic. He rolled his eyes and put the offending ring on with a tired sigh before looking back to the letter: “I made it with the cheap hot glue gun that couldn’t hold your glasses together. I hope you don’t mind, I found it very fitting for this occasion. Hopefully, it will strengthen our bond as well as remind you not to eat fucking glue next time.”
Phil laughed and took a picture of the note with the warning sign and walked up to their bedroom. He shook his head with a fond smile when he noticed the air conditioner blasting at 24 degrees and Dan borrowed under the covers. He undressed as quietly as possible before sliding under the covers and spooning his silly boyfriend, placing a soft kiss to his jaw and happily drifting off to sleep.
This is the moodboard for the fic written by @jestbee for the @phandomreversebang 2021. Thank you writing that beautiful fic based on my silly prompt, I feel honoured to have worked with you.
Please give the fic a read, a big reblog, kudos, comments and all of your love: With enchantment by your side.
