    Summary

    “Maybe we need to get used to this,” Dan says one night, completely out of the blue. “It’s been what, weeks? Maybe we have to accept that this is our life now.”

    “Easy for you to say,” Phil spits out bitterly.

    “What do you mean?” Dan gives him a look of confusion, but also phrases it like a challenge.

    “Well, you gave up on us, did you not?”

    or: Dan almost dies and wakes up in a universe where he and Phil broke up in 2012.

    Summary

    At the academy, Dan Howell is famously impossible to date. He turns down every advance with the same answer: he just isn’t interested.

    The truth is harder to explain. For years, Dan has lived another life in his dreams. One where he’s already fallen in love with someone he can’t remember when he wakes up. Then Phil Lester transfers into his course. And suddenly things start to feel… familiar.

    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.

    Phil's comfortable yet decidedly average life gets turned upside down when he ends up bonded to a barista that he's exchanged about three sentences with.
