In the beginning, it was the two of them sharing a smile that meant very little to anyone who saw it and something else entirely to the two of them. Dec had a lovely smile; a pink tip of tongue barely visible between straight rows of teeth, his eyes ignited with whatever emotion that had drawn the expression across his face.

In the beginning it was the two of them, lying side by side (his flat, not Dec's, because he lived alone). His hair would be a bit on the wild side, every strand out of place as it pressed against the pillow, but Dec would look at him as if they could pretend there was nothing wrong.

But in the beginning, it was the 90s, and no amount of endearing imperfection could hide the glaring prejudice of the world around them.

Even when things had been tough before, Dec had been ready for the steps that came next. Steps towards moving in together, towards the altar and now, slowly, towards building a family. But he hadn't been ready for the toxicity that leaked from Stephen's own family and he wasn't ready for the stomach-dropping vertigo that came when the world was ripped from beneath his feet. Dec/Stephen Sequel to 'The world, coming down', 'As we fall apart', 'I would start a riot' & 'If I could shelter you'

What's Next? || Ant x Stephen by mulhernfan16
29 parts Complete
It's been almost a month and a half since the breakup and neither Ant, nor Stephen had spoken to the other, but then the day both of them had been dreading. The first day of BGT auditions, they both knew how awkward it would be and how tough it would be seeing each other for the first time. Stephen hated Ant for breaking up with him, he didn't see why they couldn't just talk and try to fix it instead they skipped that whole step and went straight to the breakup. And Ant really regretted breaking up with Stephen, not talking about it, explaining to Stephen how he was feeling, instead he got scared, instead he ran. He ended the relationship before it got to the point where they couldn't fix it, but they hadn't got to that point. Ant got scared, he ran from his feelings, and here they were now. Unable to see each other. Will they be able to fix their relationship...or even their friendship? Sequel to: Unexpected love || Ant x Stephen

Nobody can explain the sudden changes in his behaviour. Nobody gets a word out of him. Nobody knows what happened. Only he does. And he's not telling anyone... to keep the monsters away that creep up at night. [No horror, sounds worse than it is. No shipping.] [Cover by @CaramelPenguin]

"He's going to be alright, you know? It's going to be okay. They'll come back, I know they will." There was as much a chance that Holly was right as to her being wrong, and though her words were nice and it was nice to know she believed them, there was no chance that Dec would too. He had always been a worrier, and this was absolutely no exception. Though he found some comfort in Holly's embrace, it was nothing compared to what he could be feeling with his best mate by his side. He needed Ant to be okay. He needed Ant to be safe. He just had to be. There was no other option Dec would ever accept. "I should be out there with him, Holly, protecting him, us looking out for each other. The fact that I can't I- I can't help but worry, those guys don't know him, if it came down to it-" "They'd go back for him, Dec. None of those guys are particularly close to each other, but it's not every man for himself out there. We're all in the same situation, we all want to make it home." - An original AU collection of Ant and Dec fics written by me~ Though this may be an AU, don't be afraid! The fics here are very normal, it's simply the setting that is different! (If this doesn't appeal to you, however, please check out my other work on my profile! This has fics that are all set in our world as normal). All key information is provided in the first page - please read this before the fics for important context for the content!
