Dan Howell was the typical spoiled, rich boy with butlers driving him to operas and maids making him nachos for breakfast. Phil Lester, however, was the opposite. Barely any money and deadbeat parents, he lives in a bad neighborhood in a gross apartment with cat hair covering the carpet and an odd roommate. And then Dan's parents decide he needs to love someone rather than himself, and when Phil shows up at his mansion steps, Dan's parents grow fond of him- so much that the two are exchanging rings and Phil is moving in with his new spouse. They tell Dan he should give it a few months, to be patient, and if he still doesn't like him then they'll sign the divorce papers and call it quits. Marriage isn't perfect, right? Well this one is the exact example. But they could always pretend.

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.

After three years of Dan not answering Phil's emails, he finally responds. Though, the tables turn. Phil doesn't reply to Dan after he replies. Dan will try to keep in contact with Phil after all he has done, but he doubts he'd ever reply back. Highest Rank: #33 Fanfiction

Dan Howell is an insomniac....who's scared of the dark. Only a little bit. One late night (or early morning), he decides to venture out and explore London at its quietest. He meets Phil Lester at an all-night coffee shop, and the two quickly become friends. As the friendship continues to grow, Dan has to begin facing his issues, and his feelings for Phil.

Sequel to Up All Night! Dan has finally found Phil, the boy he dreamed of, and maybe fallen in love with. But Phil doesn't know he exists. He's been trying to get his attention for so long, but Phil doesn't notice. Dan will do anything to get Phil to notice him, but that may just get him into major trouble.

Phil was angry at everything. He was angry at the drunk diver who killed his mum, he was angry at his dad for moving Phil and his brother to Florida, he was angry at the brokenness of his family. After his mum had died, Phil had cut himself off from everyone, vowing that he would never fall in love to let anyone in again, for fear of being hurt. He had walls up that he would never let down. That is, until he met Dan. The boy that would break down every wall, the one that would show him that he could let people in. The one who showed Phil that love is worth the risk. ~The cover was made by the AMAZING @tissuesforissues ~ Mentions of suicide, car accidents, and alcohol
