Strangers To Friends (2) Masterlist

Links Last Checked: September 25th, 2023

part one

A Change In The Weather (ao3) - krissyxlove

Summary: Nobody cares and the world has forgotten about me.

Those words were messily sketched and displayed in front of a young homeless man named Dan. Typically, for Dan, those words were true. What happens though when a chance of fate brings a young, successful, weatherman to him?

Nobody cares and the world has forgotten about me.

Typically, those words remained true. Today however, those words would be eaten.

A Shining Star (ao3) - Nefertiti1052 (Succubusphan)

Summary: Dan was a poor law student who loved drag queens and hoped to master the Art. Phil was having a hard time in life but wanted to help queers kids to get their life sorted and to be a good father.

A Tale of Life and Death (ao3) - croissantbleu (orphan_account)

Summary: "People always gave him way too much credit. Or they were scared of him, thinking he belonged to the “dark side of magic”. As if there was such a thing. He couldn’t remember how many times he’d explained that magic was neutral, it was merely a tool allowing to reach an end. By itself, it was neither good or bad. What truly mattered were the intentions of people who used it."

Or the one in which Phil is a necromancer, and Dan needs his help.

Chapter Two (ao3) - HandleWithCare

Summary: All Phil wanted was the newest Stephen King novel. What he found instead was even better and may have even changed his life. No matter how good or bad chapter one is, sometimes, you just have to be brave and turn to chapter two.

don't be afraid, just believe (ao3) - TsingaDark

Summary: There was a rumour on campus that someone had died in the East Wing and had been haunting it ever since. Dan, for his part, thought it was utter crap. Even if someone had died there - which he highly doubted - they would not be haunting that place because ghosts didn't even exist.

I'm Ashamed Of The Dark Places I Have Been (ao3) - ellehcorx

Summary: Phil has been punishing himself after a recent break up. He hadn’t slept in days, he’s drunk daily, and he finds himself in strangers’ beds. After stumbling into a church to take shelter from the rain, he meets Dan who helps him decrease his guilt.

It's So Meta Even This Acronym (ao3) - Dieupardonne, Mazabrei (Dieupardonne)

Summary: Dan Howell and Phil Lester lead anything but normal lives, but they were content with the direction they’d taken and happy with their current situation. But soon, they begin to realize that things aren’t right anymore; they’re not in the world they should be.

“That’s because you’re ruining our fucking lives, you sadist,” Dan said, scowling at the ceiling. He seemed to be ignoring the fact that his insolence would have consequences.

“What stupid trope are you putting us in next?” Phil asked wearily.

“It doesn’t even matter, does it?” Dan said, “They’re going to keep writing it as long as they want. They’ll find a trope.”

“But only if people read it,” Phil said.

“Then don’t read this stupid, overblown story!” Dan yelled at the ceiling, “You’re enabling this horrible author. You’re making us suffer.” While Dan was speaking, Phil had a realization.

“All of this…” Phil said in horror, “All of this dialogue we’re giving. We’re helping them shill this story.”

let chance take me to your shore (ao3) - basl

Summary: dan and phil are witches that somehow find each other.

Networking (ao3) - t_hens

Summary: Phil isn't expecting much out of the temporary job he gets at his local insurance company; a steady paycheck, a chance to make some business connections, maybe turning it into a full time position? Mostly just something to get his parents off his back for the next few months until he can figure out his next move. What he certainly isn't expecting is Dan Howell; the terribly cute guy who is definitely flirting with him and also in some sort of uncertain terms his boss. How will Phil navigate his blossoming feelings for someone who is most definitely off limits?

puppy love (ao3) - t_hens

Summary: it's just a routine day in the park for Phil and his new puppy Willow, when they get a surprise visit from a stranger named Dan and his dog Scully. the dogs become fast friends and Phil thinks that maybe he and Dan are on their way to becoming friends too.

Self-Conclusion (ao3) - ellehcorx

Summary: Fade in, start the scene. Enter Dan Howell - a 20 year old boy stood at the edge of a bridge, contemplating death. In the shadows appears Phil Lester, a stranger with a painful past who tries to talk Dan down.

She's Got the Look (ao3) - Nefertiti1052 (Succubusphan)

Summary: Diana would have never thought that being constantly late would lead to meeting the most beautiful girl she had ever seen and change her life forever.

Special Delivery (ao3) - phantasticworks

Summary: Dan Howell receives a package he definitely didn't order, but the man who did order it is... well, he's rather interesting. And the object he's ordered... well, it's odd, to say the least.

Surprise Phil-lings (ao3) - smilesaretoxic

Summary: Phil's birthday is coming up and he is in need of a cake. PJ decides to get him one with a special filling. Awkwardness, fluff, and some raunchy times ensue.

Thunder Only Happens When It's Raining (ao3) - Nefertiti1052 (Succubusphan)

Summary: Dan meets Phil at the lowest moment in his life and is immediately enchanted by him, but nobody is perfect - not even those with good intentions and a kind heart.

This is the story of two imperfect people trying to do their best, to find love and strive in life. They gravitate towards each other at every turn, sometimes dancing in harmony, other times colliding.

Under the trees and shooting stars (ao3) - croissantbleu (orphan_account)

Summary: Dan’s parents have insisted that he comes with them on a family holiday at a hiking camp in the middle of the woods, and he isn’t too happy about that for various reasons. Until he meets the son of the owners, who works there

What is the Name? (ao3) - linguisticswithlester

Summary: A curly headed barista becomes smitten with a new quiffed customer that comes into the coffee shop. Taking a chance, he makes a bold move that results in a battle of cute nicknames and feelings that could lead to a new adventure.

What Life Could Be (ao3) - Nocturnella

Summary: Dan’s life has not gone as planned. He’s trapped in a dead-end job with no formal education and no real life outside of losing himself in video games. Enter disaster in the form of Phil.

Meanwhile, the release of the new virtual reality game Half Moon Village gives Dan the escape he’s so desperately been looking for. In the game Dan can be whoever he wants, and as Cloud he meets the heroic and adorably awkward Fylgon who saves him at every turn and is always quick to share the spoils of his adventures. The only problem? Fylgon is in love with someone else. Oh, and Dan isn't even sure he's a real person.

Whispers of Hope

In the heart of a bustling city, Sarah’s world had become a gray haze, a place where shadows loomed large and ominous, and even the simplest tasks felt like insurmountable mountains. Depression and anxiety had taken root in her soul, casting an ever-present shadow over her life. She found herself isolated, her once vibrant spirit fading into the background.

Sarah, in her early thirties, had always been a warm and empathetic person, but the darkness within her had grown so powerful that it threatened to consume her entirely. Her life had become a monotonous routine of solitude and despair, the outside world nothing more than a distant echo.

One crisp autumn morning, Sarah forced herself out of bed and made her way to a nearby park. The sun was peeking through the golden leaves of the trees, casting a warm glow on the world around her. As she sat on a bench, lost in her thoughts, a stranger approached. A middle-aged man with a kind smile, he simply asked, “Are you okay?”

The question caught Sarah off guard. No one had asked her that in a very long time. She hesitated but then found herself sharing some of her feelings and struggles with this stranger. He listened attentively, his eyes full of empathy.

The man introduced himself as David and revealed that he had battled depression himself. He explained how kindness from strangers had been his lifeline during the darkest days. He encouraged Sarah to reach out, not only to friends and family but to anyone willing to listen.

Moved by his words, Sarah started to notice the world around her in a different light. She saw a child sharing their ice cream with a homeless man, a couple holding hands and smiling at each other, and a woman offering a comforting hug to a friend who was in tears. These small acts of kindness began to break through the walls of her isolation.

One day, as Sarah was wandering through a local bookstore, she struck up a conversation with the store owner, Emily. Their shared love for literature ignited a connection. Sarah discovered that even though depression had stolen so much from her, it couldn’t extinguish the human connection that could be found in unexpected places.

Emily became a friend and confidant, guiding Sarah to support groups and therapists who could help her navigate her emotional struggles. Slowly, with the help of kind strangers like David and Emily, Sarah began her journey toward healing.

“Whispers of Hope” is a story of resilience and the incredible power of human connection. It reminds us that in the darkest of times, the kindness of strangers can be the beacon of light that leads us out of the abyss of depression and anxiety, showing us that we are never truly alone.

Trigger Warning :- Panic Attack. Kinda descriptive. Please take care.

Masterlist Previous Next

~The Ferris Wheel pt2~

His eyes scan through the crowd, searching for her, and he sees her small figure, crouching down, near the ruins of what looked like a warehouse.

"Y/n.. oh, there you are!"

Had she not heard him when he told her he'd be back..?

Maybe he wasn't loud enough.

As he approaches her, he sees her body trembling, hair shabby and eyes red and puffy.

What..?

"Y/n-ah...what's wrong?" His voice seeming a thousand miles away to her, muffled by overwhelming cloud of anxiety that looms over her.

"Please, it's scary, please help me!!"

Her heart thrums with a loud thud in her ears.

"Y/n, are you ok?" he asks as he crouches down.

"You really thought we liked you Y/n?"

"Y/n.. what's wrong?"

"I.. I." she finally whispers, vision blurry as she tries to pull herself together.

Previously..

As Y/n watched his figure moving away, towards the Ferris wheel, she suddenly felt like she was underwater, drowning. Lungs constricted, choking her from the inside out.

"Y/n! Come play with us!"

She could hear the annoying ring in her head, which made her tremble and panic. The want to run away from the screeching ring was at it's peak. She wanted to cry out loud. A huge urge to be engulfed into a bear hug presented itself. She needed someone to tell her that everything was going to be alright, that nothing was as chaotic as it seemed. She craved it; comfort.

"Really?"

Despite the panic, she walks towards a ruined stall which was a few feet away from her and squats down as her mind fogs up.

"Of course! come on!"

The world around her seems to gradually blur into nothing but disoriented figures. That's when it hits her like a truck.

A trip down "sweet sweet" memory lane..

She gets up while dusting her pant, happy that they'd finally called to hang out with her.

But.. do they really want to?

"Wow! it's so big in here" Y/n says, eyes sparkling as she gazes around the lit up amusement park.

"Come, let us go play on the huge wheel over there. Mom gave me some money!" One girl says.

"Ahjussi, please give us tickets for the wheel."

The ticket vendor hands over the tickets to the girls, and one of them holds Y/n's hand tight.

Oh.. they really did want her to join them. The thought makes her smile.

As they make their way to the ferris wheel, she can't help but laugh gleefully. It looks likes so much fun!

She hopes this could be everyday.

Never had she been more wrong. The second she got into the cabin, she hated it. The space was too small, too constricted. And it didn't help that they locked her in to the cabin, laughing sadistically, as if her joy bought them joy.

She starts crying and shouting for help, her heartbeat rising at an alarming rate. She felt like throwing up and the gruesome world around her was slowly starting to fade into black.

"You really thought we liked you Y/n?"

"Please, it's scary, please help me!!"

…

"Do you want to talk about it?" Namjoon asks in a hushed voice so as to not startle her any more, gently patting her back while doing so.

He knew how to handle it. Unfortunately, panic attacks were something he wasn't unfamiliar with.

His little sister, Dahee used to have them. All thanks to the man he is forced to call dad back home.

Yes, a panic attack.

The whole underwater, drowning, breathlessness fiasco. The chaotic, almost distorted feeling.

"Honestly... I don't know." her eyes well with tears again, and he's gentle when he wipes away her tears.. looking as if he's trying to restore artwork.

"You know.. you can always talk about it. If not to me, to someone else. Bo-ra, maybe?" Namjoon asks, concern lacing his voice.

Y/n laughs at this with a nod of her head. If he knew about Bo-ra, he really did read her book. And Y/n can't help but feel grateful that she had him by her side to talk her through it.

Had it not been for him, she would have gone through worse. Back home, it was always Bo-ra that helped her through them. Oh, that sweet angel. She can't wait to meet her best friend again.

And, now that she thinks of it, she can't help but feel like she has one more close friend too.

Y/n smiles at Namjoon, heart warm, and.. safe.

They say that the most unexpected friendships are the best ones.

He simply returns the gesture, patting on her back gently, as if to reassure her that he's here for her. That he's not going anywhere.

Maybe it is true.

Strangers To Friends Masterlist

a match and a fuse (ao3) - waveydnp

Summary: Phil is twenty six years old and stuck in a dead end life. He works at Starbucks and may or may not be carrying a torch for his best friend of eight years. He doesn’t know who he is or what he wants–or how to go about figuring it out.

That all starts to change when he happens upon the resume of a certain law school grad named Daniel.

A Midsummer Night's Dream (to change a life) (ao3) - croissantbleu (orphan_account)

Summary: Dan Howell is a rising star in theatre, Phil Lester is an actor acclaimed by the audience and the critique. They both get a role in the same play.

Don't Hate The Piano Man (ao3) - lawgrain

Summary: Phil never responded to Dan's messaging and they never met. Instead of pursuing a vlogging channel, Dan came to hate vlogging and eventually made an anonymous piano channel. When playing at a VidCon Dan finds something interesting: Phil's Lion. Now they are thrown together because of a stuffed animal... yay

Fixing the connection (ao3) - jestbee

Summary: Dan has had a crush on the IT guy in his office for ages, not that he'll ever admit to it

Too bad he can't ever talk to him because he's always embarrassing himself when he tries

Which is fine, until his computer breaks

from up here you can't beat the view (just watch me now) (ao3) - kishere, maybeformepersonally

Summary: It's 2009 and Dan finds Phil on the internet when a well-meaning mate of his recommends him to a certain site she likes. Dan quickly becomes a fan: watching Phil's videos religiously and interacting with him on his socials. And, soon enough, Phil starts noticing him.

A familiar enough story on the surface but here's the catch: Phil has never been involved with YouTube.

Phil is a camboy.

If It Tastes This Sweet (ao3) - ellehcorx

Summary: Dan is a lost 25 year-old working as a barista. He has a hopeless crush on a customer who comes into the cafe daily. His co-worker thinks he’s being a good friend by writing down Dan's name and number on his crush’s coffee cup. Unfortunately, he gives it to the wrong black haired man with blue eyes and glasses.

ink and alice (ao3) - dizzy

Summary: Dan joins a band instead of going to university, and then he meets Phil.

Let Go Of The Reins (ao3) - natigail

Summary: Dan did not want to go home to his parents' house the summer after his first year of studying law - which he was failing at - so when a friend suggested a simple job that would keep him busy for three months and give him a place to live, he couldn't say no. Granted, shovelling horse shit wasn't glamorous and he was afraid of horses, but the Lester Stables had other things going for it.

Phil was newly graduated with a video editing degree and moving home to his parents' horse stables, even if he still would not get back on the horse since what happened earlier in the year. He had a complicated relationship with horses to begin with and he had decided he was done riding. When the new stablehand help arrives, Phil finds himself going out to the stables more often despite trying to stay away.

linger on (ao3) - dizzy, waveydnp

Summary: A recent loss has ground Phil's life to a halt. At 33, he's static in his grief and living in the house he grew up in - until his mother kicks him out.

In a fit of indignation and with nothing to lose, he answers the first listing he finds for a room to rent in London... a listing posted by a guy named Dan.

meant for me (ao3) - graydar

Summary: Dan doesn’t believe in soulmates. Phil believes in everything. Dan is scared of everything. Phil is scared of Dan.

pastry chef attempts to steal phil's heart (ao3) - sierraadeux

Summary: If anyone asks, Prince Philip's sneaky morning journeys down to the royal pastry kitchen are for nothing more than the perfect cup of coffee.

Sea Glass (ao3) - kae_karo

Summary: Phil arrives on the Isle of Man to house-sit at his family's cabin while it's repaired and sold. Except the cabin's in far worse shape than expected, and Phil's got to find somewhere else to stay (Phil POV)

Ships that pass in the night (ao3) - jestbee

Summary: Dan and Phil are YouTubers. The catch? They’ve never met, and Phil doesn’t want them to.

Six Ravens (ao3) - iihappydaysii

Summary: Dan meets Prince Philip at a cyberbullying campaign, but what starts as a working relationship grows complicated when Dan realizes he’s falling for the prince and maybe, just maybe, he’s not alone in his feelings. (Part One is complete and is a full story on it's own. Part Two is still in progress)

Sparks of Light (ao3) - JudeAraya

Summary: In a world where some people had magic and some didn’t, Dan had always felt at odds. A boy whose magic was broken. The least gifted in his family. Dan’s only ability--being able to see auras--had done nothing but bring him pain, because in each aura Dan read, all he could see were the most depressing human emotions.

At twenty three, Dan was settled in London, resigned to a lonely life as a barista in a shared flat with no prospects and little hope, just trying to get by.

Until one day, he met a boy on the tube whose aura was so brilliant; so full of color and light, it changed everything.

Summer Love (ao3) - benotafraidofwriting

Summary: Phil's little brother's best friend catches his eye during summer vacation.

the sun rises and sets with you (ao3) - mels

Summary: Dan hates his family’s summer cottage – there’s no Wifi and no civilisation, and spending time with family is just plain and boring. He has his treehouse though, and that makes going up north worth it even if it’s boring. But perhaps this summer will be different.

the water might be lovely (ao3) - isleofbants

Summary: Dan, utterly fed up with uni, runs away to the Isle of Man.

Seeking escape, he gets more than he bargained for when he rents a room out from happy-go-lucky, recent grad, Phil Lester.

~His~

Y/n feels like a.. fly, to say the least. Annoying. Almost like a creep.

She could now officially say that she had the biggest nose out of anyone she's ever met.

Ugh, why did she have to read someone else's diary? Was she that low of a human being to not have the slightest sense of privacy?

Did she not have the slightest bit of self control??

Wonderful! The first test that life throws at her, she fails.

Ugh, she feels like a jerk.

She would have definitely hated it if someone else read her diary, so why did she do it?

Her ears and face burn with the guilt and shame as she instinctively looks around, almost as if she is scared that he might be there around, that he might have figured out how much of a jerk she is.

Almost instantly, her eyes meet his and she sees him turn away and disappear into the crowd.

Wait.. why was he here?

She jerks her head to try and spot him through the crowd, almost causing her a whiplash injury.

Oh no.. did he realize that she might have read it?

Of course! What else could it have been?

She feels a heavy guilt weigh her shoulder down as she bids her friends goodbye, before walking through the crowd in hopes of finding him.

She had to apologise. She wouldn't be able to bear the shame otherwise.

But, that might not be all that she wants to talk about.

Oh, his story, his journey, was no different from hers. In fact, it might be a more painful, a more trying one, she thinks.

She can't help but think back to what she had read of his memories, of his experiences, in the journal.

A jerk of a father who never could seem to be there for his family, one that, much like her uncle, bruised them black and blue for the smallest of things, one that gaslights them into believing that they were the manipulative ones, that they were the ones that didn't do much for each other, and not the other way around. A pathetic father figure who could never seem to think, never seem to feel guilty as he raised his hand against his wife, his daughter, and son.

And that Namjoon was the one that felt guilty for not being able to do much to help, that he was the one whose ears burned with shame instead of that big burly waste of space, pained her.

She couldn't help the tears that rolled down her face last night at the thought of a scrawny little boy wanting nothing more than safety, for his mother, his little sister, and more than anything, for himself.

Oh, if she could, she would run back in time and hug away all of those tears, all of that fear, all of that unnecessary guilt that he seems to feel. She would protect his fragile little heart with all that she had, with all that she could.

Why is it that it was always the good ones that have to go through such hopeless times? Why?

She can't answer his question. She oh so desperately wants to, but she can't. She doesn't know herself.

But then again, she knew one thing. This wasn't a hopeless time. His story gave her hope. Hope that she was forced to give to herself all along.

He made her want to be the strong one for her precious aunt. That urge to hug away all of the pain he felt, she realized, is exactly what she should do for her aunt.

Her story wasn't the only one out there.

She needed to find him.

She needed him to know that things aren't as hopeless as they might seem.

They couldn't be. He was able to give her the hope that she needed. And for him to be able to give something as fragilely strong as that can mean only one thing: he had enough of it hidden away to be able to lend to someone else.

However, it seems as if this search for him might turn out to be hopeless. She couldn't find him anywhere!

Her feet come to a stop, tired of walking around the endless roads of the campus.

Before her stands a beautiful clocktower, one painted in pastel shades of brown and crème, a lovely brick pattern peeking out shyly, as if to say hi, from in between the beautiful locks of flowery vines that covered the wall, the warm orange-pink sky serving to be a very homely background to the building.

With a soft smile, Y/n heaves open the door to the tower before walking up the stairs, footsteps a soft echo in the damp place.

It's quiet, peaceful even.

Just as she is about to walk onto the dais, however, she sees him..

His soft, fluffy hair waves along with the cold, crisp evening wind that pleasantly accompanies his mindless, yet, delightful humming.

He looks as if he is in deep thought, and she can't help but stare at him, that is until he looks her in the eye. Quick, and admittedly, clumsy, like a cat, she tries to scramble away from the place before he calls out to her.

"Lee Y/N"

I’m in the back somewhere, but solid crew to be on the road with.
