While Dan deals with a deep depression, that almost nobody seems to notice, Phil deals with having a beat friend he doesn't know how to help. no matter how hard Dan tries to hide it, Phil knows everything Dan is doing, he just has no idea what to do, or even where to start. Dan believes he's doing a fantastic job of keeping Phil in the dark, and is ready to deny, deny, deny, to make sure it stays that way. *WARNING* swearing, suicidal and depressing themes, if you're easily triggered by this stuff, I recommend reading another fanfic.

The Unknown. Phan AU
