Summary
(Alternate universe)
After a wild birthday party, a video starts circulating, a video that raises a lot of questions not only for the Phandom, but for Dan and Phil themselves.
The timing couldn’t be worse: they’re about to begin the Terrible Influence tour, trapped in close proximity with zero chance to escape fan speculation.Or Dan and Phil drunkenly make out, get filmed, and now have to figure out what the hell that means for their supposedly platonic friendship - all while trying to survive tour life.
Or quite some angst, a lot of fluff, and an unhealthy amount of domesticity.

Summary
On the surface, it looked like Dan and Phil had everything they could ever want. Sure, some things had changed, but everything still appeared to be pretty perfect - to the Internet, at least. Dan and Phil had incredible YouTube careers and had toured around the world, Dan had successfully raised his daughter despite having her so young, was still best friends with his daughter's mother even though they were no longer in a relationship, Phil also had wonderful relationships with them both, and now...Dan was engaged. To a woman named Heather. Beautiful, charming, good with Dan's daughter, but something just...wasn't right. Or maybe that was just Phil's jealousy talking. The day of the wedding though, Phil is approached by Dan's daughter with a secret about Dan, and as a result, there's a pretty good chance that everything is going to start falling apart. Luckily...Phil is a pretty good confidant.

Summary
Angels and demons walk among us each day, though they mainly choose to remain unseen. Relations with humans have caused some issues in the past, resulting in the fairly well documented half-angel-half-human species known as the Nephilim, of whom Phil Lester currently rules over. Once thought to have been wiped out, the Nephilim were merely hidden in a realm of their own, where they now thrive and live happily.
On the boarders of the Nephilim Kingdom though runs a large wall, and on the other side, a city of slums where the other half-breeds reside: the Cambions, half-human, half-demon. Dan Howell is their ruler, desperately wanting to liberate his people. So desperate, in fact, after making a terrifying discovery, that he finds himself with no choice but to ask for help from someone he can't stand: the Nephilim King, Phil Lester.
Yet Dan's idea is genius, and Phil can't deny that. What begins as a political alliance though, slowly builds into something much more heated...and much more terrifying.

Summary
"You know, when I told you that I fancied men, I was sort of hoping that arranged marriage would become out of the question," Dan states, flatly.
"As it happens, the Duke of the Northern Kingdom fancies men as well. Lucky us," His mother states in the same tone.
Daniel Howell is next in line to become King of the Southern Kingdom...and literally could not care less. In a perfect world, he wouldn't have to be a royal or worry about running a Kingdom, and could just be...free. So when he learns he is to be wed off to the Duke of the Northern Kingdom, he decides to take matters into his own hands to pursue his freedom. Little does he know...the Duke is thinking the same thing.
Philip Lester, Duke of the North, develops a plan to escape this marriage, starting by disguising himself, then darting into the wilderness.
So, when Dan bumps into a handsome blond stranger in the middle of the woods, he and said stranger soon realize that nothing will be the same again. In a world of gods, superstition, and vengeance, things are about to get pretty medieval. Is the pursuit of freedom even worth it? Will they make it out alive?
And can their true identities remain a secret forever...even from each other?

Summary
We're bringing back Punk AU's, folks, in which Phil Lester is lead guitar player in the popular British pop-punk band, Runaway Exorcist. The band continues to gain more fame day by day, and Phil couldn't be happier with his position in life, after recovering from an unimaginable tragedy and fighting many demons along the way. But even now, there are many gaps that Phil finds missing in his life, and his yearning to fill that gap only grows with each passing day that it remains empty...
Dan Howell is a tattoo artist and body piercer at Zombified Tattoos and Piercings, a popular shop in London. New to the tattoo scene, Dan proves himself to be extremely talented and quickly gains popularity. However, Dan has a bit of a secret. Well, it's not really a "secret" per-se, but it isn't something he tells just anyone either. When a post-tour Phil Lester walks into Zombified looking for some new ink, he and Dan...don't have the best first encounter.
When Dan discovers he and Phil can relate to each other on a more deeper and personal level though, and that Phil has many "secrets" too, they find both their gaps fading, realizing that letting someone in might not be so scary after all.

Summary
There was suddenly a tightness in Phil’s chest, put there by guilt and fear, and he couldn’t find the words to respond. The gravity of Dan’s depression was creeping up on him, like a realization he didn’t want to admit.
Or; Dan is depressed and Phil cant help but feel that the sickness in his best friend is a mystery to them both. Hurt/comfort and angst

Summary
Southview Boarding School isn’t a castle and Phil Lester isn’t royalty, but he has everything. His father owns the school, he’s popular, has the best room, gets all the best treatment – there are very few things that aren’t handed to him on a platter. Dan is a cleaner/Phil’s personal maid there, and he isn’t as lucky. Everyone seems to take an aversion to the outsider, including Phil (at first).
*disclaimer* as much as i still adore dan and phil as creators i no longer engage with them the same way i did 4 years ago so i don't associate the characters in this story with them any more than them literally sharing the same name (appearance being a v loose inspiration)

Summary
A twin flame is an intense soul connection, sometimes called a "mirror soul," thought to be a person's other half. It's based on the idea that sometimes one soul gets split into two bodies. One of the main characteristics of a twin flame relationship is that it will be both challenging and healing.
Opposites Dan Howell and Phil Lester get paired up at random to complete a thorough English report about each other.

Summary
Having met at the last couple days of senior year, Dan and Phil both have troubled pasts and paper-thin lines that can’t be crossed.
That’s until someone rips through that fragile barrier until it’s nothing but shreds and open wounds. And maybe they didn’t mean it, but maybe that also doesn’t matter now. -
