Ardour (There’s a World Outside These Walls) (ao3) - centroid

He brought his hands up to press the heels of his palms into his eye sockets as tears trekked down his cheeks. Dan’s romantic life was always covered in a veil of sorrow, but never once had he cried over it. Never once did he let his walls down and just weep. Dan was relieved, so relieved but at the same time he was in despair. It was as if his fate had been set in stone, finalizing that he was and would forever be alone. In a world with its foundation dug heel toe into romance, he was someone who had to go without.

I heard the March birds singing, and oh, what a beautiful sound. (ao3) - emonerd_io

Summary: Inspired by the anime 四月は君の嘘 (Your Lie in April)!

The piano initiated the opening chords, and she drew the melody out in simple, yet alluring and complex lines. It’s a tune Dan did not recognise, but fell in love with immediately. Deep, and filled with a certain longing, yet tragically beautiful. It’s the type of music that allows you to fathom why exactly some people practise for years and for decades, trying to master their craft, just to play something so modest and stark, yet so exquisite.

This is the story of two young musicians, Dan and Phil, and how their lives became entwined over the course of one year in high school.

In Faded Holograms They Speak (ao3) - artdeficient

Teach Me to Fly (ao3) - thesleepdeprived

Yet somehow, Phil just can’t bring himself to see it that way. Who would want a soulmate that would never fly? (or, as my planning outline so eloquently puts it, kiss kiss fall in love you emotionally repressed motherfuckers) COMPLETE

These Violent Delights Of Love (ao3) - cyanica

Summary: Dan is hopelessly in love, Phil’s seemingly oblivious and they’re on a world tour just to make things more chaotic.

And yet, the Gods, or the Ruler of the Universe, or whoever the hell was in charge decided Dan needed to die in the end, too.

With a grin, Sam stepped closer to him, a playful look, tiptoeing on the edge of being shameless, shown in her eyes. “I don’t know why I keep having to say this but you’re not the boss of me. You can’t tell me what to do.” The brunette purred, though from all past experience between the two, he could if he wanted. She’d do whatever he wanted.

Chase was trying his best to be a good father. He worked hard to provide everything his daughter’s everything they wanted but one area he was lacking in was food. Sure, regular meals like breakfast, lunch and dinner were straightforward enough considering his girls were content with cereal and dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets still. But lately Hazel had become fascinated by cupcakes and pastries and he had zero clue how to prepare any of that. That’s why he was here, at the mercy of this lovely young woman, hoping she’d be able to teach him something.

It had taken all of his courage to ask her for help and to his surprise she had seemed thrilled by the idea. Today marked their first session and Chase was nervous. “I have to warn you, I may have undersold just how bad I am at baking. The last time I tried to make a cake it basically fused to the pan and I had to throw it all out.”

Grin grows as the others frame comes into view standing from the table in the dark bar once they are close enough to register him. Wiping hands on jeans before he’s reach out for a hug, “Hey, been a long time.” Tone warm as his affection for them can almost be heard in voice, “Not sure if you saw the text but Thea bailed, something about work-” Eyes rolled dramatically, “You know her. Hope you’re okay with just me?”

“You really need to start locking your front door,” Jamal called as he entered his best friend’s house without even bothering to knock. They’d been best friends since they were kids, it was typical for them to act like they owned each other’s places. He was grinning as he placed a few take out containers on her kitchen table, hoping that she had heard him enter. “Any idiot could just wander in here.” He was teasing, of course, but he couldn’t help but poke fun at her.
