    Summary

    When you watch a man shave his face in the morning, mutter to himself while he looks for his shoes, bang his shin into the coffee table for the second time in a week and cry out in irritation—how can you help but love him?

    [...]

    In a sense, Dan has known Phil all his life. Others have known him longer, known him since he took his first breath in front of a live television audience, but it seems to Dan that no one has known him better.

    or: phil’s life is a tv show, and he’s the only one who doesn’t know. dan—actor, fan, hot for a badly dressed bottle blond—auditions for a leading role. this goes about as well as dan howell + reality tv stardom could possibly go.

    Summary

    For Phil and Martyn’s entire lives, Kath had been making Christmas morning extra special for them by sneaking into their rooms to leave gifts.

    On the night before Christmas in 2025, she found herself unsure how much the tradition needed to shift now that Dan was openly and officially part of the picture.

    She confirmed for herself what she’s really always known: that rather than losing a son to partake in family traditions with, she had gained one.

    Summary

    October, 2009: Dan is meeting Phil for the first time tomorrow. He just has to get through this night.

    ///

    “The precious desire burning deep in Dan's gut is intoxicating and he should be so much more scared than he is. He’s still plenty terrified, but maybe just this once he can allow his heart to want this. He’ll pick up the shattered pieces later.”

    ///

    formidable: (adj.) causing you to have fear or respect for something or someone because that thing or person is large, powerful, or difficult

    (title and inspiration from Formidable by twenty one pilots)
