For Beth, it was just another night. Getting fucked up to take her thoughts and pain away, even if its just for a few hours, or even days. Then, she just does it over again. And over. And over. Constantly avoiding anything and everything she can, while it lasts. Smoking and drinking her troubles away.
For Dan, it wasnt like any other night. Getting fucked up just to take his thoughts and pain away, even if it was only for a few hours. Maybe even a day. Promising to himself this is a one time swing, and he'll never do it again. He says it over. And over. And over. He constantly avoids anything and everything he can, while it lasts. Smoking and drinking his troubles
away.
Beth's simple "Can I use your lighter?" Will cause her a journey she never asked for.
Dan being asked if someone can use his lighter will cause him a journey he never asked for.

Depression//Phan
(tw: s*lf-h*rm, mentions of s*lf-h*rm, d*pr*ss*d scenes. May be triggering for some. Read at your own limit, please!) Phil Lester, a boy who's falling into depression slowly. And soon, his depression may end up falling to deep. He gets hateful and rude comments on his videos that he posts to YouTube. He even gets hate on Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr. What did he ever do to them? What did he do to deserve any of this?? His flatmate Dan doesn't know about Phil's depression, however. All he knows (thinks, rather) is that his best friend is staying strong through all of the hateful things he gets from people. But in reality, that's not what Phil is doing at all. He's not staying strong through the hate. He's just faking the smile for Dan so he wouldn't get so worried about him. Sure, Dan might be able to crack some real smiles out of him once in a while, but not every time. He also wears long sleeves and thick bracelets to hide the scars of his pain. He acts like his normal quirky, adorable, funny, weird self when making YouTube videos, when around his friends and family, when having a meet-up with fans (or just being around them in general), when out in public, etc. Phil hadn't told anyone at all about his depression. And he probably wouldn't anytime soon, either. His fans didn't know, his friends didn't know, his family didn't know, Dan didn't know... nobody knew. But one day, would people push him over his limit? Would Dan be able to save him in time? © 2016 by bluetroyee. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.Complete
Too Close (Phan)
Phil Lester is a well known youtuber. He hides behind the camera, he acts the way that he wants to but he scared to be himself at school. He's popular and he's not happy like that. Dan is sweet and rarely talks. He is always afraid that somebody will hurt him so he tries to stay away from people and emotions. Dan struggles with depression, selfharm, bullies, anorexia, a dark past, and being fostered by an abusive family. His mom and dad died when he was 13 and he blames himself everyday. His 7 year old sister is the only thing keeping him alive and sane. Phil feels bad for Dan, but he can't show it unless he wants to get hurt to. Little does Phil know, Dan is quickly losing control of his life. Read this book to go on this adventure with Dan and Phil. (Will mostly be written in Dan's POV) WARNINGS: This story will have very triggering content that deals with self harm, depression, self hatred, anorexia, abuse, harsh language, bullying, mentions of rape, bulimia, and anxiety. Please be careful reading my book and I am always here to talk if you need it. Also, Dan is shorter in this book, about 5'9" cause I have a thing with height.Complete

Her family was falling apart, and now she's been kicked out of the home by her abusive mother that somehow gained custody over Blossom and her sister, Issy. Why she was kicked out? Because she wasn't able to be accepted into university. Blossom needs a saviour to lift her from her life of abuse, depression, self-harm and anxiety. On one fateful day, Dan and Blossom meet. Dan immediately falls for Blossom, offering for her to stay with him and Phil after she was kicked out. Dan helps Blossom stop destroying herself and Blossom stops Dan from falling any further into depression. Will fate bring them together? Or time break them apart?Complete

Smile, Dan
DISCLAIMER: This story is mature because it will have some self harm in it. It will also have some swearing due to that's how Dan actually talks. This is not about Phan being real. I'm sorry to disappoint you. Now onto what it is really about: Dan Howell is becoming more and more depressed. His family, his community, not even his best friend, Phil Lester, can help him. He believes he's a lost cause, and he's a mistake. He tries to hide it best he can, but some nights, it's just too much. During this, he's lost his will to smile. He'll fake smiles for videos and pictures, but he's lost a reason to genuinely smile.Complete
