    Summary

    His fingers whizzed across the black and white keys of the old piano. He smiled while sweat dripped down his brow. Dan had always felt like the piano was just an extension of himself, the music becoming a part of him.
    The crowd clapped viciously as the final song came to a close. Dan smiled and looked up over the piano, glancing across the crowd. Then, right in the back corner, his gaze stopped on a man he didn’t recognize.

    Summary

    Angels and demons walk among us each day, though they mainly choose to remain unseen. Relations with humans have caused some issues in the past, resulting in the fairly well documented half-angel-half-human species known as the Nephilim, of whom Phil Lester currently rules over. Once thought to have been wiped out, the Nephilim were merely hidden in a realm of their own, where they now thrive and live happily.

    On the boarders of the Nephilim Kingdom though runs a large wall, and on the other side, a city of slums where the other half-breeds reside: the Cambions, half-human, half-demon. Dan Howell is their ruler, desperately wanting to liberate his people. So desperate, in fact, after making a terrifying discovery, that he finds himself with no choice but to ask for help from someone he can't stand: the Nephilim King, Phil Lester.

    Yet Dan's idea is genius, and Phil can't deny that. What begins as a political alliance though, slowly builds into something much more heated...and much more terrifying.

    Summary

    It's 2024. Phil has settled in as a professor of Phonetics and Phonology at the University of Manchester, teaching the toughest first-year module on the Law and Linguistics BA programme and coordinator of the linguistics research group. She loves her job. When the faculty hires the hyperactive, high-strung, slightly arrogant Danielle Howell as their new adjunct law professor, Phil isn't too impressed. The excitable creatures never last - even if they are hot, and funny, and good at their jobs.

    Dan has ended up back in Manchester, for some fucking reason. Her career practicing law didn't exactly go as planned, and now she's returned to her old university to teach a basic evidences and procedures course that is, quite frankly, below her. But the money is good, and Manchester is cheaper than London. She's alone and spends the evenings phoning her grandmother and thinking about the past. At her new job, there's this woman who seems to be unfazed by her usual antics - a linguist named Philomena Lester. And Dan kind of can't stop thinking about her. Great. Now what?

    Summary

    Dan considers buying a single bed a week after it happens. Waking up every morning and being immediately confronted with the empty space beside him is too much. But his bed will still be otherwise unaccompanied even if it’s smaller. So, it stays.

    But Dan doesn’t want to. Within two months, he considers just… leaving. A bed, a house, a hometown, a home country without Rowan is too much.

    A spontaneous flight to New Zealand. It’s far from London, absolutely gorgeous, quite cheap because of conversion rates, and the people speak primarily English. Perfect.

    The spontaneous Airbnb is close to town, a little cottage wrapped in wisteria. Perfect for a brain bound with hysteria.

    ---

    Or,

    after the death of his partner, Dan seeks solace in solitude and finds Phil instead.

    Summary

    "You know, when I told you that I fancied men, I was sort of hoping that arranged marriage would become out of the question," Dan states, flatly.

    "As it happens, the Duke of the Northern Kingdom fancies men as well. Lucky us," His mother states in the same tone.

    Daniel Howell is next in line to become King of the Southern Kingdom...and literally could not care less. In a perfect world, he wouldn't have to be a royal or worry about running a Kingdom, and could just be...free. So when he learns he is to be wed off to the Duke of the Northern Kingdom, he decides to take matters into his own hands to pursue his freedom. Little does he know...the Duke is thinking the same thing.

    Philip Lester, Duke of the North, develops a plan to escape this marriage, starting by disguising himself, then darting into the wilderness.

    So, when Dan bumps into a handsome blond stranger in the middle of the woods, he and said stranger soon realize that nothing will be the same again. In a world of gods, superstition, and vengeance, things are about to get pretty medieval. Is the pursuit of freedom even worth it? Will they make it out alive?

    And can their true identities remain a secret forever...even from each other?

    Summary

    Dan came to Earth to observe humanity as a whole, not to obsess over one voice on the radio. But he's questioning his purpose in life and Phil is a nice distraction. When the stress leads Dan to a very literal crash-out, he has no one else to turn to but his new parasocial obsession. His aim is perhaps too accurate.

    Phil is just a small town radio host, but sometimes he still dreams of internet fame and documentary filmmaking and uncovering proof of extraterrestrial life. After a mysterious crash landing destroys the town's only radio tower, his dreams come true in more ways than one.

    Summary

    dan’s a lawyer who’s too good at pretending that nothing gets to him. phil’s a forensic linguist who sees the truth in everything; voice stress patterns, syntax choices, the way dan’s jaw tightens when someone calls him cold.

    they’re thrown together on a case that’s already a disaster; where the evidence doesn’t add up and the witnesses keep lying.
    it’s long nights in cramped offices. it’s coffee gone cold. it’s dan pacing while phil quietly listens. it’s dan’s voice cracking just once. it’s phil knowing exactly what he meant.

    somewhere between affidavits and tape transcripts, they stop being just coworkers.
    maybe they were never just coworkers.

    or;

    alternate universe where dan finished uni and is a lawyer and he and phil did not become youtubers
