my heart will howl (till you pull it off the ground) is legit one of my favourite fics and I would say it has an angsty ending. I mean, it's ambiguous, but I definitely read it as angsty, so I hope it's the kind of thing you're looking for!

Also, in other recs, parentaladvisorybullshitcontent, who is one of my favourite writers, has just started another WIP for me to check on daily - Hanging Out With Corpses - "in which Phil is a lonely ex-vampire hunter living in the city and Dan's just a pretty guy who doesn't sleep and wears a lot of black...right?" - I already love it

Every time she's posts a new WIP, I tell myself to please for my own sanity just wait until it's all published to read it. I always cave within 24 hrs.
Chapter 1 was so good! I'm also still really enjoying her uni WIP. I check for updates daily, sometimes more than once in a day. :help:

Omg I'm loving her uni WIP SO MUCH (it makes my day every time it gets updated, she is queen of the WIPs) - I genuinely try and leave kudos on it again whenever there's a new chapter. I want the misunderstandings sorted out but also for it to last another ten chapters.

(I always want to wait until they're complete too but I lack the willpower )

Just wanted to say I am loving these fic recs! I've found it hard in the past trawling through the archives finding good Deppy fic (i'm really picky esp when it comes to britpicking and being in character) but so many of these have ticked all the boxes and this thread is now my go-to place for new reads o3o makes this season easier!

I am not okay

On the outside I seem fine, but inside I am internally screaming in tears on the floor :sobs:

Not going to lie I was a bit eh about this one, spoilers but also sort off happy ending for those interested in one :lol:
I liked that the girlfriend was called Daisy, because that was how Dan called "his girlfriend" in the bubble bobble video, forgot her name half way through and tried to "steal" Phil's and ended video on the note that girlfriends will have to stay in the basement and that they will have to do without them :lol:

Ooh yes i loved this one. Very well done. Side note: At first i thought the title was a code that appeared in the story, then i looked it up after and realised it's an actual word. Lolfail :facepalm:

I also want to rec this lovely fic that was in my inbox this morning. I'm a sucker for introspective Dan slowly discovering his sexuality and how he wants to label himself (or not). It is canon compliant as well.

God I loved this one because the description of Dan's sexuality given matches mine so well

Moonpride and Coldnnights don't know if you have looked at mine or not. My last long one "Life without you would be a nightmare.", has jealous Dan in it quite a bit. And "I'll wait for you" with or without the alternate ending will probs make you cry Coldnnights. (Alternate ending is a breakup fic, but a happy ending) Both have smut and I don't write AU's, sorry if that is what your looking for. IF you have already read them then disregard this, or if you hate my writing also disregard. ;)

This is a throwback of sorts but it is absolutely hilarious in a "this is so funny and weird but also kinda hot" way You can sleep in my bed by clokkerfoot

Warning: some silliness, bad fanfic tropes and smut

So, currently, I'm trying to read every fic suggested here (despite the fact that I need to finish my movie review, but who cares, right? *cries in the corner*), and... this one.

...I literally cried for 30 (35? 40?) minutes after reading it. Like, I was crying while reading it, then proceed to cry for ten minutes more, and, like, I was watching Gintama while messaging some of my old classmates, and I just... You know, cried. So randomly. Like, I was laughing at Gintama, then remember the fic, and then I'll cry. You know? Like, I'll stop myself from crying, then start all over again. Oh, by the way, on my second read, I played "All I Want" and "One Love" (by Marianas Trench, and it's great good, and it fits like that black and blue wire ring on Dan's finger. I recommend it #shamelessspon). Yeah, I'm masochistic like that.

Pretty much my reaction when I read it for the first time :cry: I'm glad that it was what you were looking for - though now I'm wondering if I dare re-read it again while listening to those Marianas Trench songs. Such a beautiful fic.

Speaking of beautiful fics, the lovely Astronaut AU has another part and it has me all

It's a long one just FYI. (hopefully you don't hate it. It is always kind of scary/nerve wracking suggesting your own fics. )

I would recommend basicallymonsters if you're looking for angst (and some fluff).

Also here a few fluffy fics by dizzy, but you should really just read all of her phanfics tbh.
