{Companion Story to Different and United} "In Chinese philosophy, yin and yang describe how seemingly opposite or contrary forces may actually be complimentary, interconnected, or interdependent in the natural world." [Wikipedia] Dan Howell never really got the chance to grow up. At nine years old, he was kidnapped from his home in Wokingham, England, and carted off to San Francisco. He was mutated and trained to become a super villain for a man known only as "the Boss". Between being forced to kill, being beaten down by his boss, and being separated from his family for the next fifteen years, contentedness feels like something completely out of his grasp. -- When Phil Lester was born with superpowers, he knew what he was supposed to do. The moment he was old enough, he moved to San Francisco to join Curatrix, the largest superhero headquarters in the world. He became the healer for a squad of other natural-born heroes in order to make a difference in the world, but something was missing. He's lonely. He tries to ignore his disconnect with the other heroes, but he can't shake the feeling that he's got nobody else except a family that's an ocean away. He's not a great fighter due to his healing abilities, so time and time again he's placed on the sidelines and forced to watch while the others fight. Then he meets Dan, and his entire world changes. Sworn enemy becomes closest companion, and Phil realizes that maybe, just maybe, he doesn't have to be alone.

"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

Dan Howell never wanted dreams. Because dreams meant he met his soulmate, and meeting his soulmate meant dooming them to a terrible life of memories about his anxiety-ridden past. But when he literally bumps into the boy he was supposed to be perfect for, he may realise he's willing to put his fears behind him and let himself be loved. Sadly, it's never as easy as that.

in a world where your moods are visible above your head, displayed through pictures and icons, it's impossible to hide your true feelings. however dan howell seems to be lacking this. labelled as an emotionless freak, dan is outcasted because his moods are never visible. that is, until an endlessly happy boy named phil wonders why.

Pastel!Dan and Punk!Phil! Phil, a punk, was wildly know for being the type to have sex with a girl and dump her. He didn't care much about his poor image until Dan, an openly gay pastel boy, steals his attention. When they decide to see if they will work, Phil becomes happier than he ever has. However, there seems to be something - or someone - keeping them apart... (Warnings: swearing, smut, violence, that should be it, lots of fluff)

" we're friends right? well, you can't really tell me otherwise anyway, which is probably why we're friends. " Or the story of an overenthusiastic boy called Phil, who has trouble shutting up, and a reluctantly mute boy called Dan, who's life is falling apart, and how they both come to realise that sometimes - actions can speak louder than words.

Let me tell you about the tale of how a boy who had flowers growing in his soul fell in love with the boy who had thorns trapping his.

phil only texts dan in the morning. dan only responds at night. - //phan //mostly fluff !!

Everyone has a shadow. They never think twice about it. and me? I've always had two. -------- A story where Phil loves to stand out and be unique, but dan always copies him.
