i’m half doomed and you’re semi-sweet
Dan had wished for someone peaceful because he was absolutely not peaceful. His mind never felt peaceful; it was a constant tempest of angst and worries and existential crises. He’d said bright clothes because he always wore black. Kind because he wasn’t always kind, he could be sarcastic and rude, on a bad day. Patient because, to love him, they would have to be patient. You needed a lot of patience to deal with him, he could be realistic about that.
It was, in reality, a person who (if they met) would not love Dan at all. A person that Dan could safely be in complete love with from afar, which was the whole point
When he was eleven Dan wished for Phil to help with a family curse that there’s no hope of breaking. Fifteen years later he’s stationed in coastal Wales, working the late shift in a supermarket while secretly protecting a whole village from various supernatural beings. Everything is going fine(ish) until Phil, impossibly, shows up.
