From second grade to uni, Leah HAD been best friends with Dan Howell. Emphasize on 'HAD'. When he dropped out to pursue his YouTube carer, they lost all contact with each-other. She dropped out soon after due to stress, happiness decreasing, and loneliness. Now what was she doing with herself? She worked at a Starbucks with her new best friend, Ruby.
It's funny how things can change. One day, Leah was happy in uni with her best friend and working internet. Now? A cheap phone, tiny apartment, no internet, and a different best friend.
Leah still lived in London. That never changed. She also never really forgot about Dan, but all she could think was of memories, but no name to fit the person that she'd known for 11 years of her life. But she let it go. She had Ruby. She had a job that kept her busy, and left her in a home with food.
Or well, she thought she'd let it go. When Dan and Phil go to the Starbucks she works at, she doesn't recognize him. Just another face. But he recognized her. The same eyes, the same face. The Leah that'd promised to stay in uni for him, working at Starbucks.
But did he do anything? (Spoilers he did because if not this fic wouldn't exist hah...)

Yin and Yang [A Superhero AU] - Book Three
{Companion Story to Different and United} "In Chinese philosophy, yin and yang describe how seemingly opposite or contrary forces may actually be complimentary, interconnected, or interdependent in the natural world." [Wikipedia] Dan Howell never really got the chance to grow up. At nine years old, he was kidnapped from his home in Wokingham, England, and carted off to San Francisco. He was mutated and trained to become a super villain for a man known only as "the Boss". Between being forced to kill, being beaten down by his boss, and being separated from his family for the next fifteen years, contentedness feels like something completely out of his grasp. -- When Phil Lester was born with superpowers, he knew what he was supposed to do. The moment he was old enough, he moved to San Francisco to join Curatrix, the largest superhero headquarters in the world. He became the healer for a squad of other natural-born heroes in order to make a difference in the world, but something was missing. He's lonely. He tries to ignore his disconnect with the other heroes, but he can't shake the feeling that he's got nobody else except a family that's an ocean away. He's not a great fighter due to his healing abilities, so time and time again he's placed on the sidelines and forced to watch while the others fight. Then he meets Dan, and his entire world changes. Sworn enemy becomes closest companion, and Phil realizes that maybe, just maybe, he doesn't have to be alone.Complete
Smile || d.h x reader// read description please
You just moved to London! Everything is great and then you find out Dan and Phil are your neighbors?? Edit 7/6/17: yes I know I never finished this fic and yet I put it as 'completed'. And to be honest I'm not into Dan and Phil anymore. I'm sorry for letting people down. The story will be left as a cliff hanger I guess and you can make your own ending, whatever you'd like that to be. I just can't disappoint myself or you guys with an ending chapter that has lost all meaning, it just isn't fair to anyone.Complete
