    Summary

    Dan has, over the years, cultivated a pretty strong stance on the matter of marriage. It's a social construct, it puts too many expectations on a relationship, it makes him feel trapped, it doesn't actually mean anything, and he does not need a flimsy paper to prove to somebody that he loves Phil. It's the epitome of everything he hates in society.

    Oh, and this weird pile of feelings in the back of his brain that has been rapidly growing in size as of recent? Don't even worry about it.

    or

    5 times Dan repressed any and all feelings marriage-related, and 1 time he didn't.

    Summary

    Dan was a man of certainties, he didn’t believe in fate, red strings or invisible things stealing his rightful credit in all the efforts he had put on charming Phil. Dan also didn’t believe in the traditional figure of marriage, for him that was merely a social construct rooted in conservative ideals that only bound people to fulfil predetermined roles… But, beyond everything, he loved Phil.

    Or Dan wants to propose to Phil in a very Dan-and-Phil-esque way.

    Lowkey horrendous formatting and dialogue but fire nonetheless

    The idea didn’t occur to Dan until they were already planning the holiday. But once it was in his head, it wouldn’t leave.

    Summary

    "Dan never envisioned himself being married.

    He also never envisioned himself being openly gay, carrying a sign down the street at a pride parade, living alongside his soulmate for sixteen years and counting, building a house, taking control of his mental health, or amassing an audience of millions. Et cetera, et cetera. It feels like it might be beyond time for Dan to accept that his life has turned out to be so much more than he ever thought it could."

    ---

    Or: the Hard Launch gives Dan the opportunity to think about the future in a way he never has before. Cue, the phengagement.

    Summary

    “Yeah,” Dan said, suddenly confident. “Yeah, I do. Would you want to marry me?”
    “... you sack of shit.”
    … okay, that was not the expected response.
