I usually just lurk around fanfictions, moreso towards RPF but I noticed no one has commented yet so here I am. This is really great and I have always entertained the idea of Dan being a different type of Youtuber so I hope you don't get discouraged by the lack of feedback and continue writing this :)

Also, is this going to be a slow burn fic? Just curious, thanks!

There are no words to describe how much I love this fic it's just SO GOOD! This deserves so much more love how is it not more popular???

What are you doing to my feelings!?!

I have to comment on this chapter before moving on because of this part:
And so, in the spring of 2010, without ... Dan became a popular YouTuber.

At a point in the story when you said spring 2010 I'd already - with sadness - thought about him not being on a train platform in October 2009 and then you go and kill me like that! My heart!

I'm loving this story and will now continue reading :)

This is written so well I really like the style that you use! I also really like how you take your time to establish Dan and I don't care how slow this goes, I'm in for the ride! I can't wait for an update!

This is such a brilliant AU. So, so well written. Thank you for writing!

2017-04-18

This story is amazing!
I can imagine this happening better than anything else before ^^
And i feel oddly comfortable reading this... Your style... You know. I like it. :)
Definitely carry on with this, you're fantastic!

Oh fudge, I don't think that was quite what he was expecting. Brilliant chapter!

n° 15 [chapter 11] (archived from archiveofourown.org)

2017-04-23

Yeah, as a 25 year old attempting to learn piano I can confirm it's so much harder. I'm the slowest learner in my class, and most everyone is 18--22. Gets discouraging at times. Thanks for another great chapter, can't wait to see what happens since Phil has no way to practice, probably forget it all, ha

phil ya doof

n° 17 [chapter 12] (archived from archiveofourown.org)

2017-05-01

Ah, Phil. Digging yourself in deeper. Hope they start talking more soon!

n° 18 [chapter 12] (archived from archiveofourown.org)

2017-05-01

goddammit phil. I wonder, would he be able to use a piano app? I know they're absolutely atrocious compared to the real thing, but it would be something, right? especially as a beginner

n° 19 [chapter 13] (archived from archiveofourown.org)

2017-05-07

LOL, what a funny trope. But I like how you danced with it, and it worked well with the story. Also--noooo, PINOF needs to happen. Although--what would it be here? Pianophil? Wow, not as fun to say as PINOF. Hmm, maybe Dan will use his danisnotonfire account for it.

Thanks for updating!

n° 20 [chapter 14] (archived from archiveofourown.org)

2017-05-14

That was so dramatic! Dan must be so confused, and poor Phil clearly didn't understand how that would look. Poor boys. :(

n° 21 [chapter 14] (archived from archiveofourown.org)

2017-05-21

I don't know why but I felt so tense when they were going to the apartment like I knew the piano wasn't there and I wanted to tell Phil oh my god it was a stressful read

n° 22 [chapter 15] (archived from archiveofourown.org)

2017-05-21

AHHHHHHHHHHHH

I'm so happy things didn't turn out this way, but I'm loving how you're writing this. So, so, SO good! Can't wait for the next chapter!

PHIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, that's a cliffie if I ever saw one. Like, what is going to happen next?? I'm so curious!! THIS STORY IS SO AMAZING!!!

n° 24 [chapter 16] (archived from archiveofourown.org)

2017-05-28

Ok I was KIND OF thinking that Phil was going to show up but when he actually did I just dropped my phone onto my face.... so.... yep.
THE CHAPTER WAS GREAT THOUGH

2017-05-29

oh dear why

n° 26 [chapter 17] (archived from archiveofourown.org)

2017-06-04

That was a fun line though! And yeah, now I feel like we're moving somewhere! Thank you for updating--I quite liked the wedding and the relatives are always fun--I keep picturing Bilbo Baggins and his constant complaints about relatives whenever I hear or read or see people/characters interacting with their relations. Thanks for updating!

n° 27 [chapter 17] (archived from archiveofourown.org)

2017-06-05

oh dear. I bet dan will be upset with phil now ( ´ n ` ) I guess at least phil can help him calm down?
(also I love how everyone who watches dan has theorised that they were secretly him idk I just find it amusing and something you don't really see anywhere else)

n° 28 [chapter 18] (archived from archiveofourown.org)

FIXING BROKEN BONDS IS HAPPENING AND I COULDN'T BE MORE HAPPY.

2017-06-18

I love this fic so much. Oh, but it's so painful every time you mention the "could have been"s that didn't take place in this timeline.

n° 30 [chapter 19] (archived from archiveofourown.org)

2017-06-22

n° 32 [chapter 20] (archived from archiveofourown.org)

2017-06-25

LOL, the drunk scene was hilarious. Like, I really, quite honestly almost face-palmed at some points. ALSO! Does this mean PINOF is going to happen?? I know it's waaay later than 2009, but ... PINOF. Though the name wouldn't work, because it's not Dan's handle on YouTube in this 'verse ... Ak. I'll just let you figure it out! Anyway, can't wait for it!

n° 33 [chapter 21] (archived from archiveofourown.org)

2017-07-01

Poor Phil, he blocked that right from his brain, oops. Now we're getting to the good stuff! :D

n° 34 [chapter 21] (archived from archiveofourown.org)

2017-07-02

EEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! It's almost here! And, lol Phil, took you long enough!

n° 35 [chapter 22] (archived from archiveofourown.org)

2017-07-09

LOL, this was great! I was really pleased you used PINOF 5--I mean, 1 is great, but 5 is definitely more them in this fic. Just ... *le sigh* these two dorks. So excited to see the next chapter!

n° 36 [chapter 23] (archived from archiveofourown.org)

I loved this!! I'm so glad dan was able to make it through while playing to phil! I can't wait to read the rest!

n° 37 [chapter 23] (archived from archiveofourown.org)

2017-07-16

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S ALMOST OVER!!! This is ... honestly such an amazing fic and I loved this chapter. Those pieces are incredible. And while I'm quite glad of our current reality, I kinda want to hear Dan play them :)

Wow, it's over. What a gorgeous ending to a gorgeous story. I love how they finally came together, how beautiful. And the last paragraph, oh my goodness. Thanks for a wild ride, I can't believe it's been six months.

I’m obsessed with your writing style. It’s so compelling and kind of gives me Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy vibes.
