    He just doesn’t know how to save himself.

    Summary

    AmazingPhil had been complaining about his downstairs neighbour a lot lately.

    It was just one more thing Dan could relate to.

    “Honestly, I don’t know what’s wrong with the guy,” Phil told the camera in his newest video. “There’s so much screaming coming from his apartment in the afternoons, I don’t even really try to film during day time anymore."

    Dan is a gaming YouTuber who studies law. Lately, he doesn't sleep very well because of his very loud upstairs neighbour.
    Whoever that might be.

    No one but his favorite YouTuber seems to understand.

    Summary

    Phil needs a boyfriend for a family gathering.
    Not a real one. Just someone to stop the questions, silence the hopeful glances and prove, once and for all, that he’s doing just fine.

    Dan agrees. Far too easily.

    Or: What’s supposed to be a simple weekend of pretending quickly turns into shared beds, knowing looks, and the uncomfortable realization that playing a role feels a little too natural.

    Or: Phil asks the hot paramedic he met after a very unfortunate glue-eating incident to be his fake boyfriend.

    Summary

    "Okay, one bad apple. It’s fine. Dan knows that some people say shit just to say it, but it’s fine.

    But as he scrolls, he realizes that it’s not an isolated incident. Everyone is talking about how Dan and Phil aren’t in a relationship. That they have to be just buddies who happen to live with each other, and that they are lying about being boyfriends. Hell, some people don’t even think they live together."

    Or: Dan Howell has a very funky dream and spirals slightly.

    Summary

    Dan and Phil didn’t foster out of duty. They fostered because something about the kids felt familiar in a way they couldn’t ignore. Phyllis’s big feelings, Nori’s quiet watching, Maisie’s carefully hidden hope, and Frankie’s fearless loyalty tugged at them, each in a different way. Together, they felt like a family the system couldn’t promise.

    (An AU spawned off of @starwbny on Twitter's drawing of the Pheal, Emo Axolotl, Danbubu and Phabubu as Dan and Phil's children.)
