Phanfiction Finder Fest!

@phandomficfests has been running a fic fest where each person is sent a card with a list of prompts, and each person has to complete their card and give their fic recommendations in a list - after much reading and bookmarking, this is mine!

Moving in Together:

Ruff & Tumble

ao3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/8450014?view_adult=true

by: angstangelo

rating: E

word count: 6.5k

summary:

Dan moves into his new apartment for the dog park downstairs – little does he know that the town comes with more than just fluffy tails. 

AU where Phil has a dog and Dan almost doesn’t know if he likes the dog or the boy more.

- Ah! What can I say that will make you want to read this fic other than the summary which says it all. This work is sweet, and making it from Dan’s perspective (therefore swooning over Phil and his unfairly cute dog) just makes it even better. If you want a fic that will make your day brighter and make you grin uncontrollably - this is it.

Drunk:

Vérité La Joie 2014

rating: Teen and up

wordcount: 1778

summary: 

Phil has an unpleasant phone call, and handles it completely like an adult.

- What can I say about this fic that hasn’t been said already? Soft caring Dan and open Phil is what I live for. If angst makes you uncomfortable, maybe skip this one (but I will say that the angst is VERY minor, and the fic ends on a happier note.) but I think it is a very good example of what interactions between d&p would be like on a daily basis, when one of them is suffering.

Bakery:

when I sing, you sing harmonies

ao3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/12468080

by: The_Blonde

rating: M

word count: 46017

summary:

"Dan’s two minute sonatas reduce to one minute and then to a sad thirty seconds of something lilting and beautiful. It’s sad in such a way that Phil, having begged Dan to play, actually can’t stand and listen to something so full of longing. Sad in a way that it could have been written for Phil (but not possible. Dan doesn’t even know Phil). Sad in a way that Dan could just walk over, take Phil’s heart from his chest and say can I have this? and Phil would say of course, it’s yours".

Or: Witch Phils and the Piano Playing Dans that they just want to make happy (with a sprinkling of magic).

- It must be fate that I got ‘bakery’ on my bingo card, as this is my all time favourite phanfic. Also written by my favourite author in the phandom, this fic has it all. A love story, magic, music, a cute sidekick, and delicious sounding baking. This fic is a must-read, and it never fails to make me smile, cry, and love it even more each time I read it.

Motion Sickness:

Cicadas

ao3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/15205025

by: softiedanniie

rating: G

word count: 703

summary:

Pancakes and tour busses don’t always mix.

- A cute slice of life drabble, this fic depicts d&p on their tour bus during Interactive Introverts. Phil has eaten too much, and Dan (deservingly) nags him but in the end, takes care of him like the good boyfriend (and phil trash) he is.

Mario Kart:

0 to 60 in 3.5

ao3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/17565776

by: liquidsky

rating: G

word count: 1014

summary:

In which Dan and Phil are professional racing drivers. Dan's paranoid and Phil's smitten.

- This. Is. So. Cute. I never knew I needed d&p as racers until I read this fic, and now I just want more! Their interaction in this fic is so genuine and adorable, and the miscommunication between how Phil really feels and how Dan perceives it is so pure.

Jealous Phil

Sun-Kissed Confessions

ao3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/11433123

by: jestbee

rating: G

word count: 2729

summary:

Mostly Phil is just jealous of the way Dan seems to be perfectly at ease with the idea of kissing Anthony, but wouldn't consider it with Phil.

- This fic is so adorable! There needs to be more jealous Phil fics out there (if you are an author yourself, there’s a prompt for you!) and this take on it is wonderful.

Fic w/a secondary pairing

just the way you look tonight

ao3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/14917833

by: Gal_tic

rating: G

word count: 802

summary:

Jimmy can't help but get caught up with the idea of what could have been when he meets Phil again at a BBC party. 

- Shameless self promo. If you know me, you’ll know that I LOVE Phimmy, and couldn’t help writing it myself!

Secret Admirer

Prestissimo

ao3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/13691589

by: worriedpeach (skeletonflowers)

rating: G

word count: 3118

summary:

When Dan starts to get notes in his locker in the form of terrible pick up lines, he doesn't know who it could be and he doesn't really care. All he cares about is his violin and his studies. He could care less about the nonchalant cellist who never seems to take anything seriously.

- Enemies to lovers. How can you not love this kind of love story? Also - Phil makes puns. You can’t say no.

Set in 2014

home is where the wifi connects automatically

ao3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/8108575

by: oqua

rating: G

word count: 8477

summary:

The wifi at Dan's parents' house is utter crap, which is definitely why he's always so miserable when he visits his family for Christmas. Because of the wifi. (Or at least, that's what he chooses to tell himself.)

- Dan missing Phil, and them discussing future plans. What more could you ask for?

One/Both Take a Bath

bathtime

summary:

dan just wants a bath

phil just wants to join

- Two fluffy boys on tour, and Phil teasing Dan. A must read.
