Chalk Hearts (Melting On A Playground Wall) (ao3) - tonight_the_stars_align
Summary: A pad of paper is propped up on his knees― disheveled hair and traces of charcoal on his cheeks and nose. His eyes are fixed on the paper as he gazes out distantly, his tongue peeking out from pinkish lips. Dan manages to catch a glimpse of the paper on his knees. He is drawing. The charcoal still in between his fingers and Dan watches as a copy of this world appears on the blank paper, a better, more quiet, black and white version of this world. He feels like it would all be easier if everything was just black and white, only ever yes and no, no grey, no maybe, no in-betweens.

Based off the song "for him." by Troye Sivan, this story takes place in Manchester, England. Phil Lester is a student at Parrs Wood High School, with his head in the clouds. But when he spots the rather under-appreciated Dan Howell, he learns about the people around him, and himself. Self discovery, learning about fighting back and finding the best things in the darkest of times, this story is meant to help those who are going through a lot. TW for bullying and homophobic remarks in chapter 1 and 2, but otherwise safe.
