    Summary

    There is one rule of content creation that every creator is subconsciously aware of. Never read anything written about you.

    This is a rule Dan isn’t very fond of. Partially because he is kept awake every night with anxiety about what his fanbase thinks of him, partially because it turns him on reading about himself. Both of which are too loaded to unpack during the ungodly hours of the night. Tuck that away with the rest of his self deprecating feelings.

    The main issue, though, was Phil. To Dan, Phil was this one perfect, precious thing in his life that he couldn’t risk ruining. He wouldn’t let anyone ruin their friendship no matter what that meant. Hell, he’d give up the career he had built if it meant preserving his sunlight.

    Or, at least, that was the plan until Phil decided that takeaway and a full bottle of rosé needed to be split between the two of them and suggested that they read something the fans had written about them

    OR

    Dan and Phil have some feelings left unsaid. One night, they decide to read fan fiction about themselves and recreate it. Problem is, they're both a little too into it.

    Summary

    Phil had been good. He’d been funny and entertaining, and he’d tied Dan’s cheap-ass garter on his gorgeously plush thigh without so much as a wayward nip to the skin that was all but begging for it. Now, the sweet smell of baked goods is wafting through the air, and there's something edible on the kitchen counter, and the end screen is filmed, and Phil is no longer interested in being good.

    “Dan,” he says, voice tight in his throat.

    Or: The aftermath of filming the 2025 Halloween Baking video.

    Summary

    October, 2009: Dan is meeting Phil for the first time tomorrow. He just has to get through this night.

    ///

    “The precious desire burning deep in Dan's gut is intoxicating and he should be so much more scared than he is. He’s still plenty terrified, but maybe just this once he can allow his heart to want this. He’ll pick up the shattered pieces later.”

    Summary

    Dan has one friend, and only because he was forced into it. Phil is loud, excitable, and irritatingly happy all of the time. Phil seems to find Dan's perpetual attitude funny, and despite Dan's best efforts to shun him and everyone else, wants to be around him all the time. That is, until Phil starts talking about Amanda Jones.

    St Anthony's Secondary is a school divided by class. Their town is split down the middle, quite literally, by a railroad that separates the affluent families from the destitute. Dan is on the very outskirts of the poor side. He has one friend, and no desire to make any more, nor to buy into the sickening popularity and wealth contest of his peers. He thought Phil felt the same. And then, out of the blue, Phil develops a worrying obsession with a girl from the other side. She embodies everything Dan hates; he tries to explain this to Phil, to no avail. As his obsession with Amanda grows, as does Dan's loathing for her. Still, it shouldn't bug Dan this much to see his friend pine some braindead bimbo relying on her boyfriend's wallet. So why does it?
