You started uploading at a time where work was really hard for me, I was completely burnt out (funnily enough, being ADHD makes it really hard to be motivated by anything but crisis but being autistic makes it really easy to get burnt out by chronic stress). Alongside going to therapy, this fic really completely changed my outlook on work and how much of my self identity I was placing on constantly being “busy” and overloading myself at work. I actually ended up getting in trouble at work because of how burnt out I was, I made a really shitty decision out of sheer panic. Reading through the court case that Dan prepared for Phil made me realize how much my work was expecting absolute perfection while my working conditions quickly deteriorated and I had next to no oversight or support. I was actually able to some passages from Case File to defend myself and keep myself from getting in too much trouble.

You also helped me realize that I’m actually far less emotionally available than I thought I was, I’ve spent the better part of three years assuming that I’m actually really emotionally available and that all of my past relationships were due to my exes’ emotional avoidance. Turns out, I have just as much of an avoidant attachment style, I just also have an incessant need to try to control how the relationship goes so that things don’t end poorly. Despite my need to “fix things” before they break actually causing more issues than just genuinely being present and vulnerable in the relationship and allowing things to unfold as they naturally will.

All in all, this fic was a huge catalyst for a giant amount of change for me, both personally and professionally. I genuinely don’t know if I would’ve been able to figure it out so quickly if it wasn’t for you. So thank you, I never thought that a phanfic could have such a huge difference in my life.

THIS MEANS SO MUCH TO ME. knowing that i was even a small piece in helping your mental health is such an important thing for me as a writer, because thats WHY i write-- to affect people in a multitude of ways. i like portraying dan and phil as different people with different traits sometimes, because that's the most exciting part of figuring them out as people, and in turn, figuring ourselves out as people through them.

Summary: It's 2015. The world is loud, the lights are too bright, and everything feels like too much. Except for Dan and Phil's flat. She doesn't talk about Isabella, and she definitely doesn't talk about the way Amber left. But now, she's got a room of her own, two soft-hearted internet nerds who call themselves her guardians, and a school theatre production she's trying not to panic about. She's weird. She knows that. She feels everything too much. She gets stuck in her own head, and sometimes she forgets how to be "normal." Maybe she's broken. Or maybe she's just never had the space to figure herself out. A quiet story about found family, healing, and the bittersweet chaos of being fourteen and trying to feel real again.

Summary: Alexandria Gray's started out her day simple every morning. She woke up, grabbed a pot of coffee, and found herself walking towards the theatre to get to work. Brushing out her long blonde curls, she realized she was living an above average lifestyle with her job as an up-and-coming singer. Lately, however, things have changed. Alex and her boyfriend, Everette, have been having some problems. Everette was always scheming, and he was doing no better when he got Alex into the trouble that she currently found in. You see, when Alexandria woke up this morning, she found herself sat in a hospital bed and gown. When she tried to find out more information, she quickly learned that she had been in an accident, one where she had lost all her memories of the last two years, including between her long time rival Oliver Haven. Apparently there was more to her own story than meets the eye. After finding herself careening down 20 floors from the hotel building, Alex came to find that she wasn't just an up-and-coming singer, but a full fledged musician with a stable career and fanbase. Navigating this would be difficult, and Alex had to figure out, what did Everette truly mean to her, and was Oliver a safe person to trust?
