allowed (ao3) - red-string-of-phate (gary_goldstein)

Summary: Phil imagines himself, a hell of a lot braver, smirking and throwing his arm around the back of Dan’s chair, one ankle resting on the knee of the opposite leg. Shoulders not rigid with anxiety. Spine able to actually relax against the comfortable chairs on which they sit.

That world does not exist. It can never exist. Phil mourns for it and resents it. How dare another version of him and Dan get to live their lives freely while the real ones have to cower in the shadows over so much as a finger touch in a coffee shop?

To rise again, you must first acknowledge that you died.

Together (ao3) - skygremlin

Summary: It's not as if they're never affectionate with one another after nearly sixteen years together, but out in London Dan and Phil have always been careful how they act when other people could see.
