The year is 2024, the 24th Anniversary of the Worldwide Purge, put in place by the Republican candidates of the United States. Two well-known gaming youtubers find themselves in quite the pickle when on March 21st, sirens ring through the streets, shaking Los Angeles to its very core. To survive, Mark and Jack must find trust in not only themselves, but in each other. Though some plan to stand in their way.

What once could be an undeniable truth could undeniably become a lie. // Dan Howell lies about everything. What he does on Saturday nights, how he feels, what he loves, who he loves. Phil Lester never tells a lie. He's all about promises, and trustworthiness. Liars piss him off. Dan can fib about anything. A white lie here, and a white lie there, never hurt anybody. But after a while, he can't bring himself to lie to Phil Lester. And he struggles the most to lie to himself, when he just can't deny that he's extremely in love with him. //smut warning//

*contains brief mentions of self-harm* They say that love has no boundaries but what if one of them can't remember who they love? Phil suffers from memory loss in which he can't remember the previous day or his relationship with the love of his life, Dan. Update 01/23/2017: Holy shit, I haven't been on in almost a year. Can't believe that there are 20k reads. I am in awe! Unfortunately, I haven't been involved in the phandom for quite some time. I will probably not write a sequel, but if anyone else wants to.. idk go for it fam

"i haven't even met you, and i miss you." --- Soulmate AU where you write something on your arm with pen or marker and it appears on the other person. Idea from a Tumblr post by @/Let_Gavin_free --- lowercase intended short chapters intended [ COMPLETED ] this is the cheesiest and most cringe-worthy thing I've ever written but you all seem to like it so THANK YOU 🖤🖤

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.
