"the world isn't just black and white, you know." the year is 1994. philip lester has been brought up with the most religious of ideals, in a highly christian household. he attends church every sunday, says grace at the dinner table nightly, prays as often as possible, and wouldn't ever dream of disobeying his parents. that is, until, he meets dan howell, his polar opposite. -intentional lowercase-

Dan Howell and Phil Lester are two semi-famous British Internet Video-Bloggers who live in the same flat. Their lives aren't exactly top secret. Dan and Phil make anecdotal videos about their lives. Dan tweets constantly. Phil posts pictures on instagram from time to time. They are both constantly announcing their next endeavors to their fans via social media. It's impossible for secrets to be kept, so how long will they be able to keep this one? ~ Warnings: N/A This is a safe fanfic :) Rating: PG-13 for mature concepts and mild swearing Genre: Phanfiction/Romance Word Count: 38K Status: Completed

'Signing out, Dan :)' The second instalment in the 'ASL?' trilogy. [Highest rank: #81]

Dan Howell is not a happy person. He relies on any type of high to get him through each day and he's never been in love with any girl he's dated. His parents want him to marry his girlfriend of two years, but he can't bring himself to marry someone he doesn't love, and who doesn't love him. He meets a man named Phil. Phil is so great, and has a lot in common with Dan. You'd think they'd be the perfect couple after they hit it off after only a day of knowing each other and become fast friends. Too bad they're both straight. Too bad his job causes him to lie to Phil perpetually. Too bad his feelings cause him to lie to Phil constantly. Can you look anyone in the eye and tell them you love them when you're lying about who you are? How long can you live on lies before everything falls apart? //Gay slang : Extensive Drug and Alcohol usage : mentions of depression and suicide : extensive strong language : Explicit sexual content

"I can't even think straight. For your own sake, just let me walk away." "But.. I need you. Please, please, stay." The third and final instalment in the 'ASL?' series. I highly recommend you read 'ASL?' and 'Dear Diary' before reading this.

In which Phil meets an odd boy on an online chatting site.

Dan and Phil's friendship has ended. They moved out from their flat and went their separate ways. Phil has tried to keep in touch with Dan, but he never answers. All of his emails are unanswered, but that doesn't mean Dan never reads them.

dan howell liked space, and in phil's eyes he saw galaxies. phil lester liked nature, maybe dan could paint him flowers. [spaceboy!dan x plantboy!phil]

after dan howell is diagnosed with depression, his parents seek him help - but not in the way he may have expected. he's partnered up with phil lester online, someone who supposedly knows about mental health, with one instruction: text him. ❝ amazingphil : i just wanna be your friend danisnotonfire: how the hell is that going to help me? danisnotonfire: i'm depressed, not lonely amazingphil : just you wait, howell. ❞ minor swearing. lower caps intended.
