Dan Howell is currently struggling with life.
nothing on earth seems to be helping him.. Of course, adding the loop of regret and pain he feels on a day to day basis.
One fateful day, Dan comes across a complete stranger named Phil. Suddenly, with Phil by his side things begin to look up for Dan!
Phil would often find Dan on his window ledge staring at the pool of darkness above.
The raven haired boy begins to notice Dans state of living and promises he won't rest until He sees a smile of his new friends face.
Little does Dan know, Phil has another side of himself. A side he doesn't show to strangers. A side where he could climb mountains, brave seas and even break into fairgrounds (*wink*).
Dan isn't buying it. Maybe Phil just has to prove it. And so, he shall.

Just by Chance- Phan AU
Dan is that kid. The popular boy that every girl swoons over, that everyone wants to be friends with, the boy that's a complete jerk to anyone lower on the totem pole. But deep down, he's just trying to hide and ignore his own secret- that he's gay. Phil is Dan's usual target. Openly gay, awkward, and nerdy, he seems to be easily bullied. He's always too afraid to say anything and would rather stay in the background and get through high school and go to university. When Dan's grades slip 🔚 he needs to bring them up or else repeat his senior year, Phil is assigned to tutor Dan. It seems to be a terrible coincidence that the two are brought together, but it's so much more.
