No major character death and no self harm. Please message me if you think you'll need to know the TWs!

Please note: This story is currently abandoned. There will not be any updates for the foreseeable future. Sorry! In a society where your DNA is recorded and matched with someone else's, you have no choice but to fall for the person you were destined to love. For Dan Howell, this is something he has waited all his life for. Or, at least, for as long as he turned his life around. Dan, who is happily paired with Phil Lester, continues to run from his previous life. But your past is always right behind you. A/N: This story started off as what was supposed to be a cute, extremely short story, but I enjoyed writing it too much and so continued it, so the first 7 parts will seem plot-less
