ephemeral ɪˈfɛm(ə)r(ə)l,-ˈfiːm-/Submit adjective 1. lasting for a very short time. <> Summary: They knew they were a time bomb, but they pulled the key anyway. Dan and Phil knew more than anyone that death wasn't kind to anyone, and though they know it's a bad idea, they can't help but fall in love.

The United Kingdom isn't so united anymore. Rebellions nobody can even remember the cause of, cause panic throughout what's left of Great Britain. The Government have one too many secrets and Dan Howell is about to know them all. Of course, it isn't his fault his dad's an egotistical liar and his mum's a sociopath. And it definitely is not his fault he was captured by the Rebels. However, it was completely his fault when a super-advanced highly dangerous humanoid species begins slowly taking over. Oops? Just for clarification: this is a Phan (Danisnotonfire x AmazingPhil) fic! Disclaimer: I don't own any of these people because that would be slavery and slavery is illegal, also I'm not that rich. None of the events in this story actually happened (duh) and Phan is (apparently) not real. Enjoy!
