"The less you care, the happier you are." He turned to face me, his blue eyes dull with traces of betrayal. "No. The less you care, the lonelier you are." - In a world where people have the ability to flip an emotions switch, many people lack feelings and sympathy in general- including Dan Howell after a tragedy strikes and he can't take it. However, he meets Phil Lester, the outgoing flirt with too big of a heart to handle. The two become close, and Dan soon realizes that even with his switch off, he can't deny that Phil is slowly reaching to turn it back on, and Dan can't seem to push his hand away.

Playing music has always been a big part of Phil's life. From the time he was five, and banging spoons against the table, to present day; seventeen years old and apart of the upcoming Alt. Rock/Everything-In-Between band, Heinous. It's an easy life to live, he's sure. Making music with his best friends, trying to avoid failing high school the best he can, and getting his parents to stay off his back about 'that God-awful noise'. And there's Dan Howell. His sex-on-legs, hot tempered boyfriend, who miraculously shares his love of music. It's like they're meant to be. You know, except they're apart of different bands. Rival bands, to be exact, with every member hating the other, with a vengeance. They know damn well not to publicise their relationship, not with a certain competition coming up that could make or break them; the tension would be off the charts and would do nothing but cause unwanted drama. But you can't keep secrets forever. And with the stress of practice and their band members on their backs, it's getting harder to keep it in the dark.

*Phan Smut* (Yay) xD Phil was always one for missing things, he was always too late. Leaving things 'till the last minute every time. Always unlucky in love. Perhaps this time, he might catch something before it slips away for eternity. This is a Phan High School AU story where Phil goes through his life, oblivious of the pure beauty of his hidden admirer, whom always seems to get ignored; Dan. However maybe this time, Phil will open his eyes.

Dan is different. He's learned to accept that. Well, as best he can anyway, considering he's never really had much of a choice. It's been this way for as long as he can remember, the constant runaround process of trying to feel normal. His life is built around it, trying to trick both himself and everyone he interacts with into seeing him as your average person. The isolation as he desperately tries to keep others from finding out, the bitterness that wells up inside of him each and every time he's reminded that he'll never be like everyone else, the fear that nothing will ever change. He's fated to be this way forever; a misfit from society. Isolation can only go so far though, so when he's struggling to make ends meet and he's faced with the option of looking into a serious job or taking on a roommate, he opts for what seems like the easier option at the time. It doesn't seem so easy ten failed roommates into the process, or when he sits down at a table to meet with prospect number eleven and ends up with a coffee spilled all over his lap. Potential roommate number eleven, Phil, turns out to be an insufferable optimistic ball of sunshine that Dan wants nothing to do with. His options are running out though, as are the savings he's been using to pay his rent, so he finds himself begrudgingly agreeing to let the other man move in. Neither of them have any way of knowing just what they've gotten themselves into as they shake on the matter, but time will tell.

Dan just got dumped. Harshly. Not even his two best friends, Chris and PJ, can make him see the bright side of things. Nothing will ever make Dan feel better ever again ever... except maybe that cute guy he ran into in the hairdressers and accidentally got the same hair as... Phanfic AU, fluffy af :3 No triggers :D Not currently finished, unlikely it ever will be

Phan, kickthestickz and multiple youtubers at hogwarts! Dan Howell, a shy third year slytherin, is befriended by fifth year hufflepuff Phil Lester. Dan is quiet and alone, with little faith in his abilities, but with the comfortable and kind-hearted Phil he will learn to flourish in the wizarding world. This is a chaptered story with each chapter a oneshot in its own right. A brief summary will be at the beginning of each part if you wanna just dip in and read a couple that you like the sound of.

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
