How Did We End Up Here? - A Phanfiction
Dan agrees to donate sperm to a lesbian couple who are friends of his. Things go wrong, and the baby ends up without a home, and Dan and Phil are left to figure out what to do with the child, and how this could affect their relationship. Excerpt: "He turned to Dan, and pulled him in until their bodies were flush and Phil's arms were wrapped around his friend, Dan's hands against Phil's chest. Phil settled his chin onto Dan's hair, and then on a whim tilted his head down to give Dan a kiss on the top of his head. Their legs intertwined, and Phil felt all the stress rush out of him." ***Not posting individual warnings, as I don't want to give things away for chapters before you read them.

Can't Be Saved - Adopted by Dan and Phil
(Okay, I know that this has been writing so many times over, but this is my version.) Addi is 14, an orphan and her only role models are Dan and Phil. She has a habit of self-harming. And a voice that makes her do things she doesn't want to do. Then she is adopted by her role models, and her life seems perfect, she's even made some friends. But it all turns dark when her friends have dark secrets of their own and Addi's voice returns. Can she get through this, or is it all coming to a drastic end? (This story will contain some harsher language and self-harm. You have been warned!) I also just want to say that this is the first story I ever completed and at the time it was hard and I was proud of my efforts, but now I hate it and cringe just thinking about it. I hadn't had a plan when writing and just went as I wished to. I won't unpublished this as a basic point to see how far I've come when writing other works, but this isn't something I've continued to be proud of. Get it a shot or don't, it's up to you because I wouldn't say this is awful and you should never read it, but there are better stories out there. Whatever, rant over xxComplete
