   Summary

   Dan Howell is a sixth form student desperately trying to get through his A-Levels. But he loses his geography textbook, and nobody has a spare, so he has to, against his will, head to the local library to borrow one. There, he strikes up a friendship with one of the library's part time assistants, Phil, who he shares a lot in common with, from slightly too long emo hair to a specific appreciation for Mario Kart. But Dan is conflicted by his new, unfamiliar feelings for Phil, and he's terrified of how it could affect their friendship...

   basically a slowish burn 2009 phan au where phil works in a library and dan goes to said library and then they become friends and then fall into it hard and fast and become partners in everything, inevitably.
