i was sinking, and i couldn't swim. {phan au} highest ranking - #10 in danandphil

A Phan Hogwarts AU. Set after the Harry Potter Series, after the second generation is at Hogwarts. Dan and Phil are both first years. Lots of teen drama and fluff will be included. (I guess tween drama, technically) FINISHED 4/2/2018

Hello, my name is Benvolio, AKA Agent 003, AKA Dan. I am 100% straight, and I'm currently sat with my husband Philip watching some Anime, and I began to think that maybe I should do something productive with my life... Lol jk I don't do anything. Except Philly. No Homo though. This here is a little book I've created to teach you mischievous monkeys how to act straight! I promise you it's easy and no one will suspect a thing.

Philip Lester is a reporter for the BBC, what happens when he is asked to go interview Daniel Howell, the founder of one of the most fashionable clothes lines in the whole of England. Will Phil be able to resist this attractive, wealthy man? NO COPYRIGHT INTENDED Got me lookin' so crazy in love....

A boy raised around religion and the discounts for sin, Phil Lester is definitely not one to go around looking for trouble. With his father being the vicar of their local church, Phil has a lot to live up to and has to keep his reputation high if he's to be accepted. He doesn't do parties or drinking; the thought of sex alone is enough to terrify him. So it's no wonder that when Dan Howell, a boy who embraces the life of parties and rebellious acts, shows up to join the church program, Phil starts having trouble keeping himself sane as he tries to teach Dan the path to God. But, religion isn't the thing on Dans mind and he seems to find himself a new toy to play with. [warning: this does contain violence and mature content (as shown) and there's a lot on the topic of homosexuality and negative views towards it from characters in the story. Please read on with care <3]

Phil doesn't have a best friend in his life. That is, until Dan turns up at his school. They become close and Phil finds out that Dan has a twin brother, but hates to talk about him. It's not until Phil comes over to Dan's house that he finds out why.

"I'll be your home." "You already were to begin with."

It's 2022; Dan and Phil have officially come out. For some reason, people were angry and it didn't help that they "had" twins. You'd think people would be more accepting by now, right? Follow the Howlters in their amazing journey that is not on fire.

"Reason number one not to fall in love with Phil Lester, he speaks in colors." ~ Dan Howell is in his last year of high school when, thanks to a bet, he is forced to prove to his friend how easy it is to not fall in love with somebody who cares for the stars more than he cares for himself. Who's crazy plans always seem to get him in trouble. Who, especially, feels in colors. {Lil bit of a trigger warning for here and there. Mentions of suicide, cutting, etc. This is a fluff phanfiction. There is no smut or bad swearing.} Translated to Spanish by @debilitae
