"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!!!

A Housecat, a Tiger, and a Homeless Man [COMPLETED]
~~ CHAPTER ONE IS PRETTY HAPPY AND CAN BE READ AS A ONESHOT ~~ Dan Howell lived in New York City when he was twelve. And at twelve years old, a giant cat he called Suki lived with him. But he wasn't sure if Suki was real because of two things. One, she was about six feet tall. And two, nobody but Dan could see her. Fast forward to the age of sixteen. Dan still thinks that maybe he's slightly crazy. He's also slightly annoyed, because Suki has escaped the house and is roaming wild through the streets of New York. He breaks out of his family's apartment to go searching for her, and meets a boy called Phil Lester; who can not only see Dan's cat, but has a cat of his own. They move in together as adults, and live a harmonious life. Dan thinks everything is perfect, but he doesn't know that Phil's mental health has taken a turn for the worse. Phil has begun cutting himself, the only release from the mental illness going on inside his head. -~-~-~-~-~- TRIGGER WARNING: talk of self-harm and actual self-harm from second chapter on. CHAPTER ONE CAN BE READ AS A STAND-ALONE. Also, I personally do not ship phan, so no phan in this story. :( Sorry.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
