Somehow he has forgotten about me. He's lost his memory of our beautiful un-changeable past. But now he's returned. And I'm happy again, for the second time in my life. (Bastille/Dan Smith Fan-fic)

Eliza has never been the type of girl to get obsessively into bands. She would much rather settle in for a quiet night of reading than to go out to concerts and festivals but when her roommate drags her to a Bastille concert her entire life changes. There she meets Dan Smith, the incredibly shy but talented lead singer. Dan and Eliza fall in love but their romance is filled with challenges. Will they be able to make it?

Before Bastille, the thought of performing made Dan Smith sick. It was almost the end of sixth form, he could get a new start, but he still had 5 months to go. He was no one, just a shy kid who went to the music room everyday after school. That was until Erica overheard him singing. Erica promises to herself that she will get Dan to show his talent, even if that means getting him very drunk, very fast...

Kayla, 16. Bubbly. Charismatic. Awkward. Concealed. Daniel, 17. Talented. Genuine. Timid. Pessimistic. Kayla doesn't like to think of herself as normal. She doesn't believe in it. What even is normal? How do you tell if you, yourself, are 'normal'? You can't. That's the point. Although what she does think of herself as, isn't all that great. 'Stupid' 'Nerd' 'Ugly' 'Fat'. That's what she thinks. That's what everyone else thinks. Except Daniel. Daniel isn't like everyone else. Daniel sees through people. Looks into them, their personality, their interests, themselves. He doesn't 'Judge a book by it's cover', as you might say. Not to other people anyway. To himself, it's all he ever does. 'Lanky' 'Geek' 'Awkward' 'Hideous'. They can't see anything in themselves, and they probably never will. But can they change that about each other?

I screamed, Dan holding my arms. I kicked his knee and ran. She was there, the person that ruined my life. Dan was shouting at me to stop, but I couldn't stop. I'd been stopped for my whole life and I'd had enough. She ran but she was too slow. I held the knife to her neck and waited for her to say her last god forsaken words.

Things have gotten quite a bit confusing in Dan's mind for the past few months, and knowing that the fans... "shipped" him and Kyle really didn't help anything. But just because some random kids who don't actually know you think you belong with your friend doesn't mean you actually do... right? Maybe he should just keep quiet and ignore the feelings. After all, Kyle is just a friend and couldn't possibly be thinking the same thing. I've tried to highlight the confusions of interest that seem to plague so many of our lives and threaten to ruin our friendships. I've personally dealt with plenty of this confusion so I thought I'd try to put it in a story, and why not use an all-time favorite ship? This is supposed to be pretty realistic BUT of course I'm not saying Dan actually has these feelings for Kyle. Just remember it's fiction. Thanks!

'No.' I said bluntly and walked away. I'd tried my best to keep calm, but was now resorting to holding my bottom lip with my teeth to stop it trembling. I couldn't believe that out of all the bands in the world, I had been assigned this one. With him. What on earth was I supposed to do? I'd never dreamed of seeing him again, and definitely not at work. But hadn't I known he was in a band? Hadn't he been the one who'd planted the idea in my head to work with musicians? I felt incredibly stupid and embarrassed. I took myself off to the ladies toilets before heading back to the office, checking I was alone before shutting the cubicle door and letting out a silent scream. No one could ever find out that Dan and I were married.
