Philip Lester's father is the pastor of the town's popular, local church. Growing up in the church, it's been instilled in his mind that any other sexuality other than straight is wrong. Now that's it's becoming more accepted throughout the world, his dad, Jonathan, has been constantly reminding him that a lifestyle outside of what the young boy has been taught is unrighteous, a sin, and will result in him burning in Hell. Because of this, Phil doesn't mind the sexuality of others too much, but cannot accept his own. Daniel Howell is forced to join the church after his mom, Lisa, decides that he needs to be more religious. Dan is a rebellious teenager who finds joy in living life on the edge, quite the contrary from Phil. Dan spots Phil during the service and instantly becomes intrigued.

The Only One (Phan) [COMPLETE]
"Phil Lester is the literal sunshine of my life. If I didn't have him in my life, I may have been dead by now. Every day still sucks, but whenever I'm with Phil, my heart remembers that life is worth living. The only reason my life is worth living is to be next to Phil.

Will he ever confess his strong feelings for his best friend? Will he ever overcome the ongoing war in his head?Complete
pretend (phan)
Dan Howell was the typical spoiled, rich boy with butlers driving him to operas and maids making him nachos for breakfast. Phil Lester, however, was the opposite. Barely any money and deadbeat parents, he lives in a bad neighborhood in a gross apartment with cat hair covering the carpet and an odd roommate. And then Dan's parents decide he needs to love someone rather than himself, and when Phil shows up at his mansion steps, Dan's parents grow fond of him- so much that the two are exchanging rings and Phil is moving in with his new spouse. They tell Dan he should give it a few months, to be patient, and if he still doesn't like him then they'll sign the divorce papers and call it quits. Marriage isn't perfect, right? Well this one is the exact example. But they could always pretend.Complete
