*'BEST SERIES' WINNER (FANFICTION AWARDS 2017)* FIRST BOOK IN THE 'STAINED' SERIES Meet Phil Lester, a bad boy with blood on his hands. Literally. After one night strikes, Phil turns to a group of serial killers as a distraction and soon he finds himself with a trail of dead bodies at his own fault. Meet Dan Howell, a shy boy with flowers in his hair and nail polish on his fingers. Friendless and full of anxiety, he remains alone, until said serial killer with tattoos and piercings sits right next to him in the same support group. Phil finds himself falling for Dan when his mission is to kill him, and he wants to get close, even if that means spilling the unwanted truth- and a bit of blood. (punk!phil meets pastel!dan) [rated R for language and violence/gore]

Phil Lester is sweet and cute; known for his kindness and enthusiasm. Dan Howell is a tough, cold outsider; known as the school's stereotypical 'bad boy'. But if he's so bad, then why on earth did he rescue Phil Lester and give him a smile which would melt anyone's heart?

Elise Mitchell is an Internet person. She used to watch from the outside, but two years ago she began a YouTube channel with a modest number of subscribers under the alias javastorm, a part of her life she has hidden from her friends and family so far. After a video of hers gradually goes viral, everything changes. She's recommended for a job she would have never believed could be hers. This, in turn, leads to meeting a couple of her role models, two suspiciously attractive vloggers called Dan and Phil. As her relationship with one in particular blossoms, life's other disasters strike as there is turmoil with her flatmate and a potentially catastrophic double meaning of 'viral' is unveiled, but will she break under the pressure? ~*~*~*~*~ The story begins in late 2014 and continues until New Year's Eve. It won the second place prize for best danfic in the 2015 Phan awards, and I received second place for best danisnotonfire author. {thank you very much to @virtuesintheverse for the gorgeous cover and also to @NotTheOrdinaryType for her incredible fanart and other edits}
