"Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light."
Dan attends Protea Nasturtiums boarding school and has been doing so since the age of 11. Now, at sixteen, he is thoroughly fed up of the rules and the mould ridden canteen, his ordinary dorm mates and dull classes. He barely speaks with anyone anymore; people are afraid of his silence. But Dan has a secret. He is a master of light, he can manipulate the very particles and distort what people see, conjure up a flame large enough to set fire to entire cities or plunge everyone into complete darkness. He is dangerous, but nobody knows quite to what extent.
That is, apart from Phil. Phillip Michael Lester joins at the beginning of the year and is instantly drawn to his mysterious house mate, Dan. He will not stop before he finds out the truth.
PHAN AU, no trigger warnings. Genre: Angst/Fluff.
This is a collab between me and @TheVintageCatx, I will be writing Dan's POV and she will write Phil's. Her blurb and Prologue explain the history of the world and the powers far more clearly. I hope you enjoy!!!

If only I could love you
Prompt: “With Schools AUs it’s always Badboy!Phil with Nerd!Dan or Badboy!Dan with Nerd!Phil.

On the day that he meets the new boy, Phil Lester, who seems just as bad as himself, they become friends almost immediately. But as one thing leads to another, Dan isn't so sure if he and Phil are just friends, or more? Overall warnings: swearing, mentions of drugs, smoking, drinking, strong homophobic slur, domestic abuse, mild smut, violence, emotional manipulationComplete
The First Time (Phan)
Dan was a teenage boy who was a bit awkward and not the most popular person. He was happy, but not the happiest he could be. That was until he was told about a certain YouTuber who changes his life forever. A FICTIONAL story of how Phan became what it is today. This is a safe Phan fiction with no triggers (although if anyone disagrees be sure to let me know).Complete

I've read a bunch of phan, so why not write one? Dan Howell's life couldn't be any better at the moment.

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
