Buffy/Phanfic?

You read that right! 

I wrote a Dan and Phil fanfiction set during the events of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, season 7. And you can read it here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/25402363/chapters/61601782

Do I need to know anything about Buffy or Phan to enjoy this fic?

No! I wrote it under the assumption that my readers would have no prior knowledge of Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Dan and Phil! 

Why, tho? Why did you write this?

I wrote it for the 2020 Phandom Reverse Bang (@phandomreversebang), but I’ve had the idea percolating ever since I found out that @amazingphil was a fellow fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. So now, instead of just writing a thing, I have art to go along with it!

My lovely artist @nebulaearecool made an AMAZING piece of art, which you can find here: https://nebulaearecool.tumblr.com/post/624170270388797440/here-is-my-second-finished-art-piece-for-the

I had five betas for this fic (cause I’m extra AF): @enby-lego-dinosaur and @ilikestopwatches for technical edits; @holyjesusonatricycle who knows Phan but not Buffy, https://mobile.twitter.com/SimonAndrs who knows Buffy but not Phan, and mi madre who doesn’t know anything [but gave birth to me, so good job]). 

I worked really hard on this and it’s my beautiful baby. Like the amount of research to get the timeline to line up. The symbolism is #enpointe. If you don’t love it, that’s fine, but I hate you and you’re wrong (jk ilysm please read it). Also, if you haven’t watched Buffy, you should and here’s why: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYPF0hgPjzY by @thepassionofthenerd

This Is Our Last Dance - for the winter prb event

I’m very happy to present my first fic for the @phandomreversebang winter Face the Music event (second one coming tomorrow 👀), based on the art by @jorzuela and betaed by @whoknowsactually (art will be added under the cut once it’s posted) and check out the sneak peek under the cut as well (you’ll have to go to ao3 for the full chapter)

Read the fic on ao3 here!

Chapter 1 sneak peek

Find jorzuela’s art here!

     Outside, in the real world, he always felt like he was being suffocated, but here… On the stage, he could let the real Dan go. No one had ever really cared about boring old Dan Howell, average geek and absolute fucking disaster, but here he could put on the facade of one of the theaters’ principal stars Daniel James Howell, feel like people did care about him even if it was only for a few nights of entertainment a week. 

     He ignored his phone buzzing for the dozenth time in the past fifteen minutes. He could wait until practice was over. Not like it mattered, if he was trying to make up for everything with nonstop calls at all hours of the bloody night and day. 

     “You alright there, Howell?” a voice called from across the studio. Dan glanced up to see the dancer crossing the room towards him until they stood in front of him. 

     “Oh, Lester-” he paused, then shrugged. “I’m fine, probably just tired. Late night, y’know.”

     The other man didn’t seem to believe him, the disbelief clear on his face (he’d always been one to have his thoughts obvious on his face, honestly), but he shrugged and walked back across the rooms, glancing back at Dan before turning back to the cluster of dancers he’d been talking to a moment ago. 

[filisaceaf]

Summary: Dan, a recent college graduate, directionless in what he is going to do outside of school. However, he keeps orbiting back to Lester's Tea and Coffee with their great barista: Phil. When Dan is given two months to find somewhere new to live, will he take a chance on a new job definitely outside his field?

Notes: I'd to thank the @phandomreversebang for putting this event on. It's was really fun and a great experience to stretch my brainpower. I may have stretched it a little too far so this fic will be updating once a week (hopefully) while I try to finish this. depression sure picked an inconvenient time to come kick my ass.

Thank you both to @indistinct-echo and @candanandphilnot for being apart of this team, all the support, and the sheer amount of hand-holding that went into this. I appreciate it more than you can possibly know. please check out cal's BEAUTIFUL moodboard for this fic (post to be reblogged soon because tumblr is being phonephobic). Thank you also to all my friends that talked me down from the ledge. I owe you sandwhiches and love.

I don’t want the Moon

Dan has graduated from NYU and needs to find a place to live in New York with very little money. Cue a cute coffee shop barista who happens to have exactly what Dan needs. This was written for the Phandom Reverse Bang. Thank you to my amazing beta, Tasha @yourfreindlyblogstalker. Check out the artwork by @candanandphilnot here.

Read on AO3

Dan walked into a coffee shop he had never heard of before. He normally went to Starbucks, but a friend had recommended this place. So, Dan figured he would try it. He looked around. The place looked like all the pretentious coffee shops he saw on instagram, he didn’t know what else he expected, most of his friends were pretentious. That’s what he gets for being a drama major at one of the most prestigious arts universities in the world, NYU. Dan walked up to the man behind the counter. He was about Dan’s height with pale skin and jet black hair.

“What would you like?” the man asked.

“Black coffee,” Dan said.

The man raised an eyebrow, obviously surprised by the simple order. Dan figured this was probably the kind of place where people ordered their coffee down to the degree it should be served. “Coming right up,” he said.

Dan sat down at a table toward the back and took out his phone. It was late afternoon, so there weren’t many people there. According to the sign posted in the window, the place was closing in about fifteen minutes.

The man gave Dan his coffee in a to-go cup, then he started cleaning the store.

“I can go, if I’m in the way,” Dan said.

“It’s alright. It’s nice having company. No one usually comes in at this time.”

Dan nodded, and the man continued wiping down the counters and tables then started singing along to the music playing on the radio. Dan tried to hold back the laugh trying to escape from his throat, but he couldn’t. 

The man snapped back to reality. “Sorry,” he said. 

Dan noticed that a blush had spread across the man’s face. “Don’t be.”

“Like I said, people usually aren’t here now.”

“So, you forgot I was here.”

“Not possible.”

Dan raised his eyebrows at the man, and the man must have just processed what he had said.

“I should probably go,” Dan said, starting to stand up, “Let you get back to work.”

“You don’t have to.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes.”

Dan sat back down. Another song came on. Dan recognized it, Time is Running Out by Muse, and started bopping along to it.

“You like this song?” the man asked.

“Yeah, Muse is one of my favorite bands.”

“Mine too. My name is Phil, by the way.”

“Dan.”

“Nice to meet you Dan.” Phil was just about done cleaning the store. He still needed to wipe down the table Dan was sitting at, and probably mop the floor, but he couldn’t do either of those things while Dan was still there.

“Nice to meet you too. I’m going to go now and let you finish closing.”

Phil looked disappointed. “Maybe I’ll see you again.”

Dan nodded. He didn’t want to commit to anything. This wasn’t really his kind of place, but he did want to see Phil again. Dan left the coffee shop and headed back to his apartment.

His apartment was actually his parents’ apartment. Although it may as well have been his, since his parents were rarely there. Except for today. When Dan walked through the door, he saw both of them at the kitchen table, and his mother must have cooked because there was pot roast on the stove and three plates on the table.

“Hi,” Dan said.

“Hello,” his Dad said.

“Is everything alright?”

“Everything is fine,” his mom said, “sit down, Daniel. We need to have a chat.”

Dan sat.

“Daniel,” his dad said, “your mother and I have been talking, and we think it’s time for you to start looking for your own place.”

“What?”

“Well, you’ve finished university now. You’re an adult. You can’t live with us forever.”

“I know, but where am I supposed to go? I can’t afford to live on my own.”

“You have some money saved, you’re working, and your dad and I can help out a little at least for a month or two,” his mom continues.

Dan didn’t know what to say, not that it mattered, he realized the conversation was over when his mother got up and started serving dinner.

After dinner, Dan went up to his room and spent the better part of the night on the computer looking up apartments online. None of them were in his price range.

The next morning, well, afternoon, Dan found himself in front of Phil’s coffee shop. That wasn’t the name of it, but it’s how Dan had started thinking of it. 

The coffee shop was relatively empty. There were a few people as far away from the door as possible. Dan thought they must be aspiring screenwriters because their heads were buried in their laptops. He walked up to the counter and was about to order a black coffee, when Phil asked him what was wrong. Dan was trying to hide how upset he was. He used to think he was good at hiding his emotions, but obviously he wasn’t since this practically stranger could see through him. Dan was about to say “nothing,” but he ended up blabbing to Phil about the entire conversation he and his parents had the night before. Phil listened patiently. 

After Dan had finished, Phil said, “Do you want to come over? My shift is over. I have to wait for my cover to get here, but once she does we can go.” Against Dan’s better judgment, he agreed. A smile spread across Phil’s face, “Great.” 

Right on cue, a girl walked up behind Phil. She had clearly come from the staff entrance. Phil greeted the girl, then said “I’m just going to make something and then I’ll get out of your way.” The girl nodded. Dan stood off to the side near the door while he waited for Phil. A few minutes later, Phil came out from behind the counter. He had taken his apron off and he was holding two to-go cups. He held one out to Dan. “Caramel Macchiato. On me.”

“Thanks,” Dan said. Phil nodded and then they left.

When Dan and Phil got to Phil’s apartment, Dan couldn’t believe it. Phil lived in a two-bedroom apartment on the upper west side. Just the living room was at least the size of his parents’ whole apartment. “Make yourself at home,” Phil said. Dan sat on the couch and noticed Phil’s entertainment system. He had a wall-mounted, flat-screen TV along with several video game consoles on the table underneath, and stacks of video games on either side.

“I never want to leave this place,” Dan joked.

“You don’t have to.” Phil said, sitting down next to him. He wasn’t joking.

“What?” Dan said.

“Stay here. With me.”

“I can’t afford this place.”

“Don’t worry about it.”

“What do you mean don’t worry about it? I can’t just stay here and not pay rent.”

“I don’t pay rent here either. My parents bought it for me.”

“So, I can just stay here? For free?”

“If you want to.”

“Of course I want to, but…”

“But…”

“Well, what’s in it for you?”

“What would be in it for me?”

“I don’t know, but you don’t pay rent, so you don’t want a roommate for money. So, why do you?”

Phil took a deep breath. “Company.” The simple answer caught Dan off guard. Phil continued, “I never had a real friend before, at least not since I was a kid. I was getting to the point where I was about to put an ad up on Craigslist.” Despite his best efforts, Dan couldn’t hold back the chuckle that escaped from his throat. Phil rolled his eyes. “Anyway, when you came into the shop, I really wanted to be friends with you, but I could tell it wasn’t your kind of place…”

“How?”

“I could tell you were hesitant when I asked if I would see you again. So, when I saw you today, I didn’t want to lose the chance again.”

Dan took all of this in. “But, why me? We don’t even know each other.”

“I’d like to think I’m a good judge of character, and I know we have the same tastes in music and coffee. Which are the only two things I really care about.”

Dan laughed. “And video games.”

“Do you want to play?”

“Always.”

“What game?”

Dan ran his eyes over Phil’s collection. “Mario Kart.”

Phil set it up, and they spent the rest of the afternoon playing. Dan won more often than not. Around 8pm, Dan said he should probably get going.

“When will I see you again?”

“Are you working tomorrow?” Phil shook his head. “So, when can I move in?”

Phil’s face lit up. “Seriously? You want to?”

“Yeah. I mean I need to let my parents know first, but since they want me to move out anyway, I don’t think it will be an issue.”

Phil jumped up and hugged him, nearly toppling both of them over. Dan grabbed onto Phil’s shoulders to steady himself. “I’ll see you soon.” He was about to walk out the door when Phil stopped him. “What?”

“We don’t have each other’s numbers.” Dan took out his phone and handed it to Phil. Phil put his number in Dan’s phone. “Text me, so I have yours as well.”

Dan nodded and texted Phil. Phil’s phone buzzed. “I’ll see you soon,” Dan said. Then he left.

When Dan got home, his parents were watching TV in the living room. “Hi,” he called.

“Hello,” his mom said.

“How’s apartment hunting going?” his dad asked.

“Good, I think I found a place.”

“Really?”

“Yeah”

“Where?”

“Upper West Side”

Dan’s parents looked at each other. “Who’s paying for that?” Mr. Howell asked.

“A friend.”

“Since when do you have friends who live on the upper west side?”

“Since when do you know any of my friends?” Dan shot back.

“Daniel! Show some respect.”

“Can’t handle the truth? You haven’t given a shit about me for as long as I can remember. As soon as I was able to take care of myself, you expected me to be an adult.

“That’s not true, Dan.” his mom said.

“Really? So, why did I have to get a job when I was fourteen? Why have I always been home alone after school since I was seven? Why are you insisting that I move out of a place that you’re hardly ever in?” When Dan finished, he ran up to his room and slammed the door, leaving his parents in the living room dumbfounded. He knew he was being childish, but he also knew that if he kept going, he was going to cry, and he was not about to give his father the satisfaction of seeing that. When Dan regained his composure, he texted Phil.

Dan: Can I move in tomorrow?

Phil: Sure, but are you going to be able to pack everything by then?

Dan: Do you want to help? ;)

Phil: Of course! What time?

Dan: 11

That was enough time that he would be awake and his parents wouldn’t be home.

Phil: See you then :)

Dan smiled to himself and texted Phil his address.

The next morning, Dan woke up to an empty house as expected. His parents typically left for work around 7, and it was already 10. Dan got up and got himself some breakfast before brushing his teeth and taking a shower. By the time he was done it was a quarter to 11. Phil would be there any minute. At five to 11, Dan heard a knock at the door. He opened it and saw Phil standing on the other side. He was holding a bunch of flat cardboard boxes.

“Hi,” Phil said.

“Hi,” Dan said, stepping back so Phil could walk through. “You brought your own boxes?”

“I figured you didn’t have since this was so last minute.”

Dan felt his face heat up. He couldn’t believe how well Phil knew him already.

Phil looked around the apartment, and Dan was suddenly conscious about how small the apartment was compared to Phil’s. “Do you want anything? Coffee? Water?”

“I’m fine, thanks. Should we get started?”

“Yeah, let’s go.” Dan said, heading towards his bedroom. It only took them a couple of hours to pack everything. Dan didn’t have that much stuff, and he figured he could leave his video games since Phil had all the same ones and more. Dan had gotten a couple of suitcases and threw his clothes and sheets in them. They had packed everything in Phil’s car and were standing on the sidewalk in front of Phil’s car. Dan was seriously considering just leaving and not telling his parents, but then Phil asked if his parents knew he was leaving. Dan considered lying and saying yes, but he knew Phil would be able to see right through him. He shook his head.

“Dan! You have to tell them!”

“Why? It will probably take them at least a week to even notice I’m gone.”

“That can’t be true.”

“It is.”

“Dan. Tell them.”

“Fine.” Dan pulled out his phone and texted his parents that he was moving out. He wanted to send a snarky comment along with it, but he knew Phil was reading the text over his shoulder. “Sent.” Dan said. Phil nodded, and they got in his car and drove to his apartment.

After only a few days, Phil’s apartment, well now his apartment, felt more like home then his parents’ place ever did to him. Especially since Dan didn’t have to worry about rent. He spent some of his time searching for auditions, usually when Phil was working at the coffee shop. The rest of the time he just ate, slept, and played video games. It was exactly how he thought adult life would be when he was a child. He never expected it to actually happen though. Phil got home from the coffee shop a few hours later. He was holding a box. “What’s that?” Dan asked.

“A present.”

“You don’t have to do that.”

“Yes I do.”

Dan opened the box and saw a Cartier watch. “Phil, I can’t accept this.”

“Of course you can.”

“Why would you do this for me?”

Instead of answering, Phil leaned in and kissed Dan. The kiss caught Dan off guard at first, but after a few seconds, he was kissing Phil back. “That’s why”

“Phil! You don’t have to buy me expensive watches for me to kiss you!”

“I want to.”

A smile spread across Dan’s face. “Come here.” Phil was already right in front of him, so he took a step closer to Dan. Dan kissed Phil harder than before.

“Wow,” Phil said after Dan had pulled away.

“You don’t need to buy me anything for me to kiss you.”

“Ok.”

“What’s wrong?”

Phil sighed. “It’s just that with every relationship I’ve been in, the person always expected stuff, you know? Someone finds out that money is no object and then they expect you to buy them the moon.”

“I don’t want the moon, Phil. Just you. I love you.”

“I love you too.”

7 and 24 for the ask meme!

7. What story/headcanons do you feel the proudest of?

Honestly, I’m proud that I’ve written anything at all. However, I’m still really proud of Lonely in Conflict, Cast as a Convict, which I wrote for the Phandom Reverse Bang in 2020, because I was doing things with the characters that I knew was risky but I was excited to explore.

In terms of RQG, I would probably say Fade Out, which I wrote for the Line Is Erased event at the end of 2021. This was a little Zoscar fic set towards the end of Oscar’s life, and it’s very soft and quiet. But I’m very interested in Zolf as a caretaker, but also as someone who needs a lot of care himself, and I feel like I touched on that here.

24. Do you prefer AUs with the characters, or sticking to the original universe?

AUs. All my biggest and most popular fics have been AUs. I get invested in stories because of the characters. Everything around the characters isn’t important, so I like putting them into different settings and situations and seeing how they cope. Also, there’s less pressure to get things right with an AU.

🚨 Author Claiming Is Open 🚨

The time is finally here for Authors to claim the art pieces and the beta that they want!

To claim your art, follow these instructions:

1: Go to this page and look through all of the art pieces

2: Find the piece that you want to claim and head on over to this spreadsheet! This spreadsheet is also linked on the page with the art so don’t worry about bouncing back and forth between this post and the art page!

3: Find the number that corresponds with your artwork. If it looks like this ↓

congrats! That fic is open for claiming!

However, check to make sure that there isn’t a little tab in the corner ↓

The fics come on a first come, first serve basis!

Best suggestion if your fic is taken: don’t feel discouraged, go back onto the page and see if another picture speaks to you!

4: Comment your name and claim number onto the box corresponding with the correct number. Like so:

Once you click comment, the box will now appear with the little yellow tab in the corner as seen above. Once that is done, that’s it! You’re done!

If you’re claiming a beta, then you’ll go to the same spreadsheet as linked above and go to the bottom of the sheet and click the tab that says beta claiming.

From there, you’ll do the exact same thing that you did for an art prompt, but this time for a beta!

If anyone has any other questions: the admins will be available readily throughout the first wave with any answers they can offer! Happy claiming!

****As of right now, we have struggled to find a successful way to claim on mobile so you will need to try and claim via a desktop or laptop computer but if you cannot be on a computer then send us an ask off anon with your fic claim and we’ll claim it on our end!****

First claims are open until 11am tomorrow and then 2nd claims will begin at 12pm EST!

*artists, please refrain from contacting the author who claimed you until after team reveals. And beta’s, please do not contact the author who claimed you (if you recognize your number) until after team reveals as well. thanks
