    Summary

    Phil lives a simple life in his family’s bookstore. He doesn’t have big dreams, his friends and his little bit of stability are enough for him. Until one day, Hollywood star Daniel Howell happens to walk into his bookstore by chance. And from that moment on, nothing is ever the same again.

    ---

    Or... who doesn’t love rewatching ’90s romcoms like Notting Hill?
    Phil is the Hugh Grant of the story, Dan is the Julia Roberts, and the vibes of the movie are definitely there (though there are still plenty of surprises along the way).

    Summary

    INT. PHIL'S BEDROOM - 3:34 AM

    A time capsule of early moments of youth, when the terrors and wonders of the future remain hidden, and yet all that exists at the present moment seems... well. Phil still can't believe Dan is really here.

    Summary

    Deciding not to push his luck and reveal his hand too much, Dan intentionally missed the next shot. He wanted Phil intimidated. He wanted him to be forced to show his skill off a little bit more, floundering to catch up, asking himself what went wrong the same way Dan had been doing all night.

    Dan competes in pro pool tournaments, and in many circles, is considered a professional and talented player. Phil is a hustler, whose victims often don’t realize they’re being swindled until it’s too late.

    Summary

    Phil Lester has been on the internet for almost twenty years.
    He has a successful channel, a popular podcast, a home he loves, and a life that turned out exactly how he hoped it would. Which is why he can’t quite figure out why it suddenly feels like he’s stuck.

    The blond hair was supposed to help. It didn’t.

    The tattoo, on the other hand, might be a worse idea.
    -
    based on the cactuar tattoo incident they mention in the "our phanniversary wedding game". au, phil is a youtuber, dan is a tattoo artist. :)

    “You work and you live together?” someone had asked. “How have you not killed each other yet?”

    Dan threw a glance behind him, beaming and radiant. “I did,” he said. He elbowed Phil in the ribs, the most physical contact they were willing to risk in such a crowded room. “I replaced this one with a clone who actually takes out the bins.”

    Summary

    Phil has known so many versions of Dan across time, and he has loved them all in their own ways.

    But none of them was this one: his Dan, sprawled beside him in a Las Vegas hotel room two weeks after his twenty-first birthday, who is sharp and unsure and sometimes infuriating, who gives hickeys to his older self and then pretends it was nothing. This one, tonight, is the one Phil loves most of all.

    A canon-inspired time-travel AU featuring secrets, yearning, self-hatred, self-love, a three-way in Vegas, and Phil Lester's unwavering belief in the red string of fate.

    Summary

    When you watch a man shave his face in the morning, mutter to himself while he looks for his shoes, bang his shin into the coffee table for the second time in a week and cry out in irritation—how can you help but love him?

    [...]

    In a sense, Dan has known Phil all his life. Others have known him longer, known him since he took his first breath in front of a live television audience, but it seems to Dan that no one has known him better.

    or: phil’s life is a tv show, and he’s the only one who doesn’t know. dan—actor, fan, hot for a badly dressed bottle blond—auditions for a leading role. this goes about as well as dan howell + reality tv stardom could possibly go.

    Summary

    He looks like he does on screen, black emo hair a little like a very attractive bird’s nest, with yellow-checkered cat ears on his head, but unmistakably Phil. Dan is shocked, genuinely, that not everyone here falls head over heels for this man immediately. Surely they must. Surely they’re just doing a better job than Dan is at keeping it in. Maybe he’s not gay, maybe this is just what Phil does to people.

    “Hi,” Phil says. “You’ve got nice whiskers.”

    Dan chose the safety of a girlfriend over Phil, and now he meets Phil in real life for the first time at a YouTuber meetup. And for the first time. And for the first time. And for the- It's a time loop fic.

    Summary

    Dan and Phil broke up in 2017. Today, Phil is a (slutty) gay media personality with a string of unsuccessful relationships and Dan is a (closeted) standup comedian with virtually no friends. The two of them have history — a lot of it. Stalkers, birthdays, suicide attempts and radio shows. Laughter, tears, codepency, growth. Much time has passed since they decided to put an end to all that.

    When Dan’s manager persuades him to go on Phil’s podcast in order to promote his new tour, the both of them reconnect, just as Dan is contemplating a public coming out. Meanwhile, having once again broken up with someone who wasn’t quite the one, Phil is starting to believe he might just not be made for relationships.

    Phil loved him a lot. A lot, a lot. You look nice today. You’re so funny. Let me touch you. Kiss me, fuck me, I love you. These are things he used to hear every day. They would call each other names until one of them ran out of steam and had to say I love you. Fuck. That prickling feeling behind his eyes again.
