    Summary

    He never planned on keeping the pill a secret from Phil because he never planned on Phil and him living together so comfortably for over 3 years. He'd banked on a year maybe a year and a half before they went their separate ways. He'd only banked on 2 months max before Phil found out what the pills were for. Dan couldn’t believe it was 2015 and Phil didn’t know yet.

    Or the one where Dan was born female and refuses to tell anyone.

    Summary

    "I'm not pretending that I know what you need," Phil nuanced, "but I guess I can say that I know you pretty well—"

    Dan's laugh at the euphemism made him pause, a grin tugging at his own lips.

    "What I mean is, I imagine it as pressure, you know?" He didn't know himself. He had two degrees but pressure was part of none of them. It didn't matter. "The more you keep the valve closed, the more chances you have to explode—or, I guess, in your case, to get drunk on an entire bottle of wine and cry alone on our balcony."

    What happens when you realise you need to come out but your feelings for your best friend and roommate of ten years get in the way.
    Or, the process between writing "Basically I'm Gay" and releasing the video (plus some more).

    Summary

    Luke is in recovery and has a bad day.

     

    He remembers Luke wailing about how he didn’t want help, he didn’t, not for this, except maybe he did. Maybe he’d been screaming for it for so long that he couldn’t hear himself anymore.

    Summary

    “Okay, that was unnecessarily complicated” he dusted his hands off on his suit, turning around to make sure the other guy was still webbed to the wall.

    Then he felt it. His vision went white for just a moment, his side was warm and wet. The palm of his hand touched the source of liquid and when he pulled it away it was a familiar shade of maroon. Shit. That wasn't supposed to happen tonight.

    Shorter than I usually read but this is a really good reality of what it’s like to live like this.

    Summary

    On a perfectly average Tuesday night – as far as any night can be called perfectly average anymore nowadays – the sky goes pitch black above Manhattan, a violent storm rattles the roofs, vivid blue and purple lightning bolts illuminate the clouds.
    Once it is over, as suddenly as it began, news trickles in of difficult-to-explain phenomena occurring worldwide: The statue of liberty has changed color to a bright pink, an exact replica of the great wall of China has appeared across the Sahara desert, it rains feathers in Copenhagen for several hours, every single stapler on Sumba Island turns into a coat hanger, and Tony Stark wakes up from an impossible-to-wake-up-from coma.
