80s AU
Phil is fine. He has a job he likes full of music he loves, and this summer, he's determined to be happy. He drowns his sorrows in rock n' roll and pretends not to stare at boys who will never stare back, but he's fine, really. Even when he's not.
Dan is disappointing his parents at every point he can manage, from dropping out of high school to locking himself in his room everyday and ignoring the outside world. He's lonely even when he's not alone, and to make matters worse, he's discovering things about himself that he would rather stay ignorant about. He has no idea where life is taking him.
This a story about music, finding yourself, and learning to move on.

pretend (phan)
Dan Howell was the typical spoiled, rich boy with butlers driving him to operas and maids making him nachos for breakfast. Phil Lester, however, was the opposite. Barely any money and deadbeat parents, he lives in a bad neighborhood in a gross apartment with cat hair covering the carpet and an odd roommate. And then Dan's parents decide he needs to love someone rather than himself, and when Phil shows up at his mansion steps, Dan's parents grow fond of him- so much that the two are exchanging rings and Phil is moving in with his new spouse. They tell Dan he should give it a few months, to be patient, and if he still doesn't like him then they'll sign the divorce papers and call it quits. Marriage isn't perfect, right? Well this one is the exact example. But they could always pretend.Complete

My Mistakes: A BxB Story
Dane has always been Mr. Chill. His friends think of him as the centered, calm, even kind of guy. He plays the piano. Bakes on the weekends. Does good in school. Always follows the rules. Everyone relies on him for comfort and support, knowing he is the poster boy for common sense no matter what the situation. But... Really, he has a past. And it's not pretty. Well, it IS smoking hot but he's not proud of it. And now that his past has come to walk the halls of his high school, his image as the boring but safe nerd is crumbling all around him. === This is part two of Best Friends. It will make far more sense if you read that book first. The description sounds kind of moody and dark, but actually, honestly, it's going to be funny. There's a high school musical, lots of gay sex, and angsty misunderstandings and mix ups. It's my version of Nerd/Jock . Enjoy!!Complete
