The Delinquent // Phan AU
They say delinquents are harsh, unforgivable. Devilish and careless. And you'd be right, especially when it comes to Dan Howell. The entire school live in fear of this Year 11 student, who can seemingly do whatever he wants because he's just that dangerous. However, there is that one person who doesn't cower to the side of the corridor when the delinquent walks passed - Phil Lester. The school's Head Boy - happy, confident. Has his entire life at his feet. The two have never really gotten along, Dan being so mischievous that it always annoyed Phil. After years of tension between the two opposites though, something in Dan's attitude has changed, him going from class clown to dangerous delinquent over the summer before their final year in high school - and he's definitely caught Phil's curious eye now. Phil sees something new in the delinquent, a secret side that no one thought existed in Dan. So what could possibly happen if they genuinely tried to get to know each other? TWO ENDINGS: Happy End or Dead End?Complete

Air and Ice [ Danisnotonfire and AmazingPhil ]
Dan and Phil find themselves in an awkward situation once again. However, this 'awkward' situation is a little bit different and more extreme. You wouldn't want to tell the Internet about how you were held hostage, been in a car chase, and broke into buildings. You especially wouldn't announce over radio you traveled illegally around the world, won brutal fist fights, and are running from an agency that wants your head hung up as a decoration on the wall. The disappearance of Dan and Phil doesn't seem strange to their audience until after a while... Not until it's too late. [Part 1]Complete

But Dan can't see past his own depression that Phil is struggling with bulimia, and that he's equally good at hiding his dark thoughts as Dan. And as Dan walks through the streets alone at night getting high to escape from the hell he's trapped himself in, will he be able to see that maybe the happiness he craves so desperately is not on the streets in the form of white pills, but inside his own apartment in the form of Phil Lester?
