“Oh my love don’t forget me, when i let the water take me…” - Florence and the Machine, What the Water Gave Me My finished piece for “Dreadfully Yours”, the incredible Victorian Gothic, Penny Dreadful-inspired Yuri!! On Ice zine! My piece was inspired by the German folktale “Undine”. This is easily one of my favorite pieces that I’ve done for a zine, and I’m still really proud of it! <3 Sorry it’s taken me so long to share this!

Maybe a highschool au of crybaby (maybe pastel?) dan guilted by a really bad friend to enter a haunted house, then he has a panic attack (kind of?) at the first scare (maybe gore reminds him of something *cough cough* self harm recovery) and his friend is scared for his reputation so they leave him. Then theater geek Phil who was part of the scare notices and comforts him
Not sure how long ago you sent as I was gone for a while but here it is! Thank you for the prompt it was fun to write!
AO3 Link-Soft and Scared
Soft and Scared
Scared!Pastel!Dan is guilted by a friend to enter a haunted housePhil doesn’t want to hurt anyone but is guilted by a friend to terrify people in a haunted house. He feels horrible when Dan’s friends leave him there to cry on the floor after the scare and comfort ensues.
WARNINGS: Mention of self-harm and recovery
“Come on, we can’t invite the crybaby.” Aaron complained, shaking his head and rolling his eyes.
“But think about how funny it would be! It’s just a harmless haunted house. He’ll get over it. I promise.” Neal poked at his friend who sighed in agitation.
“It’s just going to be annoying but…he’s your friend so if you want to bring him I guess I can’t stop you.”
Neal slapped Aaron’s back in victory and grinned. “It’ll be funny, trust me. Besides, he’s been begging me to invite him out places.”
Aaron raised an eyebrow. “I thought he hated people. And going outside for that mater.”
“He does. The other day he told me that he’s trying to ‘get out of his shell’ and ‘widen out’ or something. He’s desperate to people please.”
“Whatever. You’re the babysitter though.”
Dan’s POV
One of Dan’s hands played with the strap of his overalls as he leaned anxiously against the wall outside the classroom. His other hand was balled into a fist inside the sleeve of his lavender sweater as he stared at the floor. He nervously tightened and untightened his hold on the soft fabric, aware of the occasional stare someone sent his way. They must be wondering why he looked so terrified. If someone asked, he wouldn’t have been able to explain though. Dan always felt this way. He was especially terrified today though.

Murderbot’s friendship with ART has HUGE vibes of “you’re my only friend who’s neurodivergent the same way I am.” Like, Murderbot is super glad when it’s around its humans and can present as the rogue SecUnit it is rather than masking and pretending to be either an augmented human or a SecUnit still under the control of its Governor Module. But it still can’t really, truly, fully be itself around its humans–it still has to filter itself. And with ART–yeah, they bother each other a lot, but fundamentally I think they’re both really glad to be able to drop the filters and be exactly the kind of deeply caring (but also rude) assholes they are inside.

do u ever think about how. like.
when murderbot had just borked its governor module, it was, for the first time, confronted with decisions like "can i help this person, or will that give me away?" and "if i follow this order (in order to protect my secret) and something bad happens, is it my fault because i could have said no?" it was constantly having to weigh the wellbeing of its clients against its own safety, right?
enter sanctuary moon, a world full of humans for whom mb is not in any way responsible. mb can't get attached (read: doesn't want to get attached) to real-life humans in part because bad things can happen to them, things that maybe mb could have prevented. the same is not true of fictional characters! whatever happens to them onscreen isn't mb's job to fix. whatever happens to them can't be on mb's conscience. media is a safe place for mb because, among other reasons, mb can't affect the narrative and therefore nothing that happens in the show is its fault. at a time when mb was being faced with all sorts of horrible moral dilemmas, media gave it a way to care about the wellbeing of humans without the moral dilemmas.
okay so taking this a step further. i think it's kinda funny that mb thinks art is such a baby for being upset when fictional characters die. art isn't used to being powerless, bud! art isn't used to weighing the benefit of saving somebody against the risk of being sold for parts. "people die and there's nothing i could do about it even if i wanted to" might be a nice bit of freedom for you, but art is stuck on the "people die" part. in art's world, it can make sure people don't die because it has that kind of power over its environment and not all that much to fear from exerting that power.
when art is actually put in a situation in network effect where it doesn't have that power, it doesn't hesitate to take the chance to save its crew at the risk of losing its relationship with mb. i wonder if that's a small part of why mb is so upset - not just that it was used, but that art didn't even do it the courtesy of having a moral crisis over using it. whereas art was probably like, "i lied to you and manipulated events so you wouldn't be confronted with a moral crisis over this, and yet you're still upset with me? what's not clicking??"

Murderbot, at all times:
[ID: Three digital drawings of Murderbot from The Murderbot Diaries book series. Murderbot is wearing grey armour with a helmet with a black screen that hides its face. It is looking slightly off to the side, with a white background behind it. Murderbot does not move across the three images, only the text that shows what it is thinking.
The first says in small black text next to its head, “What the fuck are these idiots doing now?”
The second says in small black text next to its head, “oh fuck they’re looking at me”
The third says, in large white text over its chest, with the image now filled with static and motion blurred slightly, in all capital letters to show that Murderbot is stressed, “Oh fuck they want to talk to me”
End ID.]
(Murderbot’s pronouns are it/its!)

Enemies To Friends To Lovers Masterlist
A Light & His Soul Snatcher (ao3) - natigail
Summary: Phil was the most powerful magic wielding human of the decade, even when he was just a child. He was what his people called a light - someone that was a pure source of magic. He’d been forbidden to leave his house because his parents were terrified that he’d attract soul snatchers, which was horrible creatures that consumed innocent souls. But Phil was a curious little one and he was bound to step outside eventually.
Dan had been a stupid young boy, who’d gotten too obsessed with the magical culture and peer pressured into doing something really dumb, just because all his friends had done it. His soul had been broken and locked away, never to be seen or felt again, as his body was doomed to roam the world as a soul snatcher. But Dan would be granted a second chance.
When the two meet, the impossible happens. Lights have always fallen prey to soul snatchers before and Phil should really be dead and Dan should really be fed. It doesn’t quite go like that.
A Stolen Ring (ao3) - orphan_account
Summary:
Dan’s not normal. Why? He’s not human, he has a mysterious ring, and he hates Phil Lester. They have a strange past, one filled with bullying and avoidance, but when Dan turns into an incubus, everything changes. He struggles with his identity and cries himself to sleep most nights, yearning to be normal. And somehow the universe makes it worse by bringing him and Phil together - in the most literal sense.
a theism in evolution (ao3) - Tarredion
Summary: The sungod, Phil, sends letters to Mother Gaia. He puts all his worries into words… even when he himself can’t see right through them
Desires (ao3) - A_Million_Regrets
Summary: What would you do if you were suddenly hauled from your inauspicious life and dumped into an unforeseen catastrophe with your worst enemy?
Dan Howell and Phil Lester completely and utterly hate each other. They fight every time they meet, and all of their friends are tired of it. But one day, these two hot-headed, reckless men stumble through a secret passage in a mysterious old house and wake up on a strange island uninhabited by other intelligent life forms. They only have each other and no way to escape. Will they fight to death, or will they learn to trust each other in a world where no one else exists? Can they put aside their mutual hatred for each other to survive this misfortune?
Getting Along (ao3) - enthuzimuzzy
Summary: When Dan Howell’s co-host of their talk show leaves abruptly, leaving a gangly cameraman, Phil Lester, to take his place, he’s understandably upset. Beyond upset. But what happens when the two get stuck on a mandatory retreat for two days, sharing a cramped cabin room?
And what happens when they realize that maybe, just maybe, they might want a little something more?
I Found (ao3) - wildflowerhowell
Summary: Dan Howell and Phil Lester hate each other, and everyone at the Ida Gatley school of dance knows it. So what happens when the two are paired together to choreograph and perform a duet at England’s most renowned contemporary dance competition?
In My Way (ao3) - INeverHadMyInternetPhase
Summary: Daniel Howell is 21 and Britain’s newest star. He’s just been cast in the much-anticipated film adaption of Last Man Standing, the popular teen fantasy novel with a huge fanbase hanging off his every tweet. In other words, Dan has made it big.
Phil Lester couldn’t care less. He’s a stressed out PHD student working part time at a bookshop while he struggles to get into post-production. He’s 26 and still lives in a tiny flat on the fifth floor of a building with a lift more broken than it is in use. He loves books, but he thinks big film adaptions screw with the plot too much.
Needless to say, Phil is less than impressed when Last Man Standing is getting filmed in his hometown. And he certainly doesn’t want anything to do with obnoxious, arrogant, so irritatingly perfect leading actor Daniel Howell.
In Which Dan Is A Bit Of An Asshole And The Whole Story Is One Big, Fat Cliché (ao3) - obsessivechild
Summary: Dan hated school. He hated running. He hated going out. He hated homework. But above all, he hated Philip Lester.
Just The Beat Of My Own Heart (ao3) - howellhaze
Summary: Dan and Phil fall in love on tumblr, unaware that the person they’re talking to online is the person they hate in real life. A “You’ve Got Mail” AU.
Libertas Volandi (ao3) - Im_Innocent_I_Swear
Summary: Phil Lester hates his boarding school. He hates how he has no friends or how he always gets bullied. He hates getting laughed at by everyone, or getting called names. And he absolutely hates his new roommate. Dan Howell. It must’ve been some lousy trick from fate as the two absolutely despise each other. But now they have to share a room, they realise they actually have a lot in common! Phil now knows it was the best trick fate pulled on him yet as this Dan Howell guy, is not an asshole after all. He’s not that mean, he’s not a bully, he’s not horrible. But he’s also not human. The two boys fall in love, and Dan knows that he’s not allowed to fall for a human. But how bad can it be? It’s just a little fun. No one will die from a little fun like this… Right?
My Love is on the High Seas (ao3) - TheKidFromYesterday
Summary: After being accidentally kidnapped by pirates, Dan realizes that just maybe, his heart has been stolen as well.
Our House (ao3) - sierraadeux
Summary:
Enemy is a harsh word. Rival sounds so immature, like Dan’s the star of some teen drama on Netflix. Competition is close, but not quite there. In simple terms, Dan has a distaste for Phil Lester. Otherwise known as AmazingPhil in their line of business, for some reason that’s beyond Dan. What makes him so amazing anyway? There’s a reason the network wanted Daniel Howell and Phil Lester for this specific series, and Dan guesses there’s really only one way to find out that answer. or And they were co-hosts. Oh my god they were co-hosts.
slow-closing doors (ao3) - kae_karo
Summary: SECRETS, DRAMA, BETRAYAL (okay no betrayal dw).
Phil’s agreed to be an RA for his floor this year at uni, and he’s determined to be the best RA ever - after all, this is these students’ first year, he wants them to have the best year ever.
Stirring in Love (ao3) - andthenshesaid-write (ladyknight1512)
Summary: When Phil applied to be a contestant on the Great British Bake Off he didn’t even expect to make the long-list, let along make it into the actual tent. But make it he does and there he meets Dan, a baker unlike Phil in every possible way. After a rocky start, Phil realises that maybe he can learn some things from Dan after all, and the biggest things have nothing to do with baking.
Vows (ao3) - lionkid (orphan_account)
Summary: Phil works as a video producer for Buzzfeed UK. Dan, a coworker he’s not particularly fond of, comes up with a video idea: two single people have to act married for a week. He just so happens to volunteer to ‘marry’ Dan. Based on Buzzfeed’s “Single people get married for a week” series.
What day is it? (ao3) - kae_karo
Summary: It’s the first day of the semester, and it’s already gone to shit: Dan’s late to his first class, finds out his mortal enemy, Phil Lester, is the TA, and gets rejected by the girl of his dreams, but at least tomorrow’s a new day…right?
Aka the one where Dan and Phil are stuck reliving the same day over and over and can’t figure out why.
You don’t know me (but I want you to) (ao3) - TsingaDark
Summary: “If you agree to go on a date with me.”
“That’s blackmailing,” he replied cooly. His hands were sweating uncontrollably and he had to restrain himself from wiping them on his trousers.
“Is that a yes?” If possible, Phil’s smirk grew even wider and he leant forwards, into Dan’s space.
“No,” Dan spat. “I’d rather have a date with the fucking janitor.”
or: the one were Punk!Phil asks Pastel!Dan out on a date and Dan says no, but Phil is adamant at making Dan change his mind.
you’re gonna be my wound (ao3) - obsessive-fics (xoPrincessKayxo)
Summary: Dan and Phil are cast in their university’s production of Spring Awakening, as the two male leads. They hate each other. Until they don’t.

From the following website: http://www.benedict1.com/digitalartist.html
You should totally check out the rest of this artist's work because it's amazing!
But this particular image made me very much think of Murderbot both for the internal components piece but also the "lean bulk" that Mensah describes it as having.

Ratthi: SecUnit, how are you feeling?
Murderbot: Stab.
Ratthi: Stabbing…isn’t really an emotion, it’s more of an activity. Which I hope you will not do to me. An emotion is something you feel.
Murderbot: Well maybe I feel stabby.
