Dan Howell is just an ordinary teenager. He goes to parties, gets super drunk and then does it all over again. He isn't what society would call 'popular', but then again he isn't unpopular either. He has a large circle of friends at school that he knows he can trust and rely on.
Phil Lester is, well, different. His cute personality and good looks make him attractive to both girls and guys, but his personal issues and mental health prove to be a strong barrier for him. He is selectively mute (he only talks to people he feels comfortable with).
When Phil moves to Oakwood High, for the first week he struggles through everything alone, whether it's skipping lessons or hiding out in toilets where no one can see him cry. But when Dan walks in on Phil having a full-on panic attack, everything changes.

Take me to church (Book 1)
A boy raised around religion and the discounts for sin, Phil Lester is definitely not one to go around looking for trouble. With his father being the vicar of their local church, Phil has a lot to live up to and has to keep his reputation high if he's to be accepted. He doesn't do parties or drinking; the thought of sex alone is enough to terrify him. So it's no wonder that when Dan Howell, a boy who embraces the life of parties and rebellious acts, shows up to join the church program, Phil starts having trouble keeping himself sane as he tries to teach Dan the path to God. But, religion isn't the thing on Dans mind and he seems to find himself a new toy to play with. [warning: this does contain violence and mature content (as shown) and there's a lot on the topic of homosexuality and negative views towards it from characters in the story. Please read on with care <3]Complete

Danny's Girl (Phan)
I've read a bunch of phan, so why not write one? Dan Howell's life couldn't be any better at the moment. He has met the most beautiful, charming, kind girl he could ever imagine, and she loves him back. Everything is perfect... but not for Phil. Phil Lester has always been in love with Dan since the first moment he first met him, but now Phil's heart is crushed. He has some suspicions of Dan's girlfriend, but Dan just brushes it off, ignoring Phil completely. Unfortunately, Phil's bad feelings may be true... Sexual content, self harm, language, and domestic abuse warning. Also, I'm American, so if I get anything wrong, please tell me. ••• Update: This is very old (not really that old) writing! It's cringy as hell, and I apologize in advance. I have fixed a few errors, so if it seems slightly different than it was before, that's why.Complete
