Danielle is on her way back to the other end of the couch, a fresh mug of coffee in hand. She stops.

"What?"

"You just– you seem like you figured it out so fast," Phil stammers, fidgeting with the USB dongle plugged into his laptop for his wireless mouse. The indicator light on it flickers on and off, blue and searing bright into his still-tired eyes.

Evidently not.

“Please don’t.” Once again, Dan’s mouth is faster than his brain and he’s said something he maybe should’ve thought about more. Though, thinking something is apparently the same thing as saying it out loud now anyway, so what’s the point.

or, Dan meets Phil at a party, except he doesn't really know that it's Phil.

leaned a bit too hard (ao3) - jailedmoonshine

Summary: Growing up, Phil resented her name. She already didn't care for dresses and heels, so it was even harder convincing people she was actually a girl. As the years pass and her styles change, she decides to stop for a pint at a pub along her drive, giving her body a chance to breathe from the chill that was coming in.

pour bot hem rod hog king (ao3) - ghostdnp (ghostdnfie)

Summary: Dan insists he's the better power bottom, and proves himself right.

Réponds à Ma Tendresse (ao3) - Blorbiron

Summary: Dan is visiting, and that’s Phil’s absolute favorite thing ever- which is kind of sad, maybe, for someone he’s known for like two months, but he can’t be bothered to care. Because Dan’s sitting right on his bed, close enough to touch, and cackling whenever Phil dies in Crash Bandicoot. Which is a lot.

sk8ter girl (ao3) - ShiwiSins (IetjeSiobhan)

Summary: “She can’t even keep herself on the board for longer than three minutes, what makes you think she could teach you?” PJ asks doubtfully.

“She looks hot,” Dani says, and PJ cackles.

Summary: Fiona has had a best friend, and she’s had a crush, and Dan is both and neither and something new and transcendent altogether.

(2009 and it’s the same but they’re transfem so it’s not)

you've gotta be starving for it (ao3) - astradyke (violetides)

Summary: Strange isn’t helpful. Dan has lived with himself for thirty-three years, and has been in therapy for several of those. He should know the precise words for something like this. It’s a very clunky feeling, is all he can identify. Like heaves and heaves of asphalt filling up a pavement square. Like a body fresh from the burn of quicksand. He’s spilling into something, and he’s entirely too large to heave himself out of it.

It’s a sudden, useless feeling that should not inhabit his body after a satisfying orgasm. But, historically, Dan has felt a lot of unhelpful things after an orgasm.

(there is a matter unresolved, sleeping in the underbelly of daniel howell's mind. after the terrible influence tour, and a haircut done in australia, that something begins to unravel.

in other words: daniel howell, and the wild beast of gender.)
