Dan doesn't like people. In fact, if he had the choice, he wouldn't communicate with anyone. The only person he tolerates is his uni friend and coworker Phil, who has a way of always making Dan feel comfortable. This worries Phil, because he fears his composer friend will never make the social connections he needs in order to become a thriving musician. What happens when Phil introduces an aspiring producer named Dodie to Dan, someone that he has already met from the late night sessions in the practice hall? Will he open up and make the vital connection he needs to succeed?

Just by Chance- Phan AU
Dan is that kid. The popular boy that every girl swoons over, that everyone wants to be friends with, the boy that's a complete jerk to anyone lower on the totem pole. But deep down, he's just trying to hide and ignore his own secret- that he's gay. Phil is Dan's usual target. Openly gay, awkward, and nerdy, he seems to be easily bullied. He's always too afraid to say anything and would rather stay in the background and get through high school and go to university. When Dan's grades slip 🔚 he needs to bring them up or else repeat his senior year, Phil is assigned to tutor Dan. It seems to be a terrible coincidence that the two are brought together, but it's so much more.
