Summary:
Stiles Stilinksi is the favorite human of every surviving member of the Hale family⊠He's basically Hale-catnip. Peter knows this. He thinks everyone else does to. They didn't. Werewolf-Bachelor-esque Shenanigans ensue.
This is inspired by the discourse that came from another post of mine:
Also, BIG Thank You to my lovely Betas. I don't have all of their Tumblrs but @writer-the-writer and @thiamsalpha were two of them. They did an amazing job helping me get this story where I wanted it to go. You guys are awesome!
sometimes Iâm reminded that there are still people who donât know ao3 was literally created by incest shippers â and the siteâs sole purpose is to 1. be completely against censorship and 2. host all kinds of dark, taboo fics that are banned on other platforms â and the first ever fic that was posted on ao3 was a fic about an incest ship from supernatural.
you are in the house that was created by freaks. for freaks (affectionate). every disgusting thing you can think of is rightfully allowed and welcomed on ao3, because they are exactly the reasons why ao3 was created in the first place.
ao3 was created because its creators got tired of censorship, they got tired of dark and taboo fics getting banned on pro-censorship platforms, and they wanted a place that was safe for ALL FICS THAT WERE DARK AND TABOO.
ao3âs main principle is being against censorship and being proship / profic.
there are some things in fiction that make me uncomfortable, but instead of shaming people who are just minding their own business and not harming anyone in real life, I choose to curate my own internet experience by blocking/muting what I donât want to see. ao3 has excellent tagging system, so instead of being rude, instead of asking why the world doesnât revolve around your personal comfort, use their tagging system properly and you wonât see the things you donât want to see.
itâs your job to curate what you see. itâs not other peopleâs jobs or responsibilities to censor themselves for your personal comfort. the world does not revolve around you.
also you cannot censor âonly the things you personally hateâ without expecting everything else, that isnât of conservative beliefs, to be censored too. because censorship is a slippery slope and a fascist tool. I promise you there are people who think âwhy do tags for queer love even exist on ao3? theyâre grooming childrenâ.
if you allow the things that you hate to be censored â because someone with enough power gets to control what other people can and cannot create/consume, it will not stop at the things that you hate.
Derek being so socially uncomfortable when we meet him is one of the saddest parts of Teen Wolf to me. He was such a friendly kid who grew up in a wolf pack, wrestling and playing and having zero personal space. Everyone lived in one big house and ran around the woods together. His mom babied him and scratched his head. He played basketball. His big sister definitely used to tackle him and throw him around. He wasnât built to be alone and every pack he builds he punishes for not being the original. He was never meant to be the leader. He was always the baby. He only survived because he was young enough to still be in school. Kate Argent when I get my hands on you-
Itâs interesting to me the entire first season Stiles who was trying to support new werewolf Scott, and was worried Derek was truly evil because of superstitious beliefs. But in the back of his mind he was trying to also figure out Derek. The scene between him and Argent where this 16 year old son of a sheriff tells the hunter to his face that his sister killed an entire family of werewolves for no reason took a lot of balls. And Derek was so grateful that someone believed him. That scene where Stiles and him are at the nursing home and Derek is in disbelief that this kid just continues to believe in him. Stiles misses the first game he would be able to play at for the first time for Derek is very emotional. Itâs also emotional that Derek went head to head with his uncle to defend Stiles. Just as he defended Stiles from the Kenima and Isaac. Or stopping Stiles from using electrode pads. Stiles always believed in him. And Derek never stopped protecting Stiles.
Arthur is cursed to visit every universe in existence. In every world there is one Merlin Emrys who has various opinions/feelings about him.
He even lands in one where Merlin wants him dead.
It's tough to find his way back because it seems no universe fits the description.
Tech Merlin who has been guiding him from his first jump: This one has everything you mentioned. The me in this world is your servant. Your sister hates you. Gaius is alive and court physician. No plumbing... It's the closest we've come to your world.
Arthur: And what's wrong?
Merlin: well, you said magic was evil there. This says magic is nearly extinct because of the purge.
Arthur: that would be good news, right?
Merlin: yes, except that the magic there is nature's life force and you're sort of forcing it to hide so the world doesn't crumble to dust
Arthur: crumble to, what? hide where?
Merlin: ... that's the thing. In the Merlin who exists there
Arthur: that's impossible
Merlin: well. It's the closest thing we've got. Take a look?
Arthur hesitates. Then he steps through the portal. As soon as he breathes in the air, it hits him like a punch. It feels like home. He's home.
It genuinely never gets less funny thinking about season 1 of iZombie from Major's perspective. Poor guy thinks he's the main character of the show but really literally every person around him knows more about what's going on than he does and none of them are telling him SHIT and they gaslight him SO HARD that a guy who started the season as a bland ass stock love interest who worked at a teen shelter now knows how to precure heavy weaponry (and grenades!) off the street and is attempting to take down a criminal organization run by literal (and figurative) monsters. And he fails at like every single turn too. It's phenomenal.
My headcanon that cannot pried out of my cold dead hands is that season 1 Derek is a 19 year old kid.
Like look at this dude!!! He's clearly just a kid. A little rough around the edges, a little big of a meaner face but he's just a wee kid. This is how college students look like!!!!!!
The way they make Derek look much older in the later seasons and try to claim that he's in his mid twenties or some shit??? IM CALLING BULLL
I think that was a way to make people stop shipping sterek by introducing a bigger age gap cuz jeff davis sucks.
I will forever and ever and ever stand by that this is just a lost 19 year old kid who is going through so much and he has no adults to help him through anything.
Kid barely knows how to buy groceries or a house or furniture. Look at how he fucking lives man.
This Rise of The Guardians story idea has been eating away at me!!!
So, every Guardian has their own set of helpers. But Jack doesnât really. Thatâs where this little idea sprang from.
One of my favorite folk tales as a child was the Little Match Girl. My idea was that Jack takes in these children, finding them in their last moments just as their matches go out. They become his helpers, or rather, his sisters. They help him spread winter and frost. They help lost children find their way home, sparing them from what they went through, etc. It has the added bonus of hitting hard since he became Jack Frost by saving his little sister from the cold icy water. Now, he helps his new sisters that he couldnât save from the ice.
I have a lot of ideas for how they would look and act and everything but one, my favorite, was that they are spirits of ice and winter but they actually give off warmth. They use it to keep the children they find warm enough to survive until they lead them home and also so they never feel the bitter sting of the ice again. ALSO, their fingers are stained black from the matches!!
If anyone has written this or made art or something PLEASE tell me!!! Or if this inspires you let me know so I can see it!!
Derek Hale's life sucks so bad. Imagine you're nineteen your entire family is dead and your continued survival hinges on working with two of the most annoying sixteen year olds you've ever met who won't stop framing you for murder
Iâm always so confused when younger people in a fandom ostracize the fandomâs older members. Like, hello, those are our predecessors? Are you going to bully the OG âI like your shoelaces thanks I stole them from the presidentâ MVPs? Would you disrespect the brave women in the 70s who died for our sins writing Spirk fanfiction? Respect the elders who literally prepared this space for you and set up the infrastructure for you to enjoy your favorite media in community with others.
Sadly, burnout meant I didn't get around to drawing it until summer, lol. But I think I needed that time, because I finally managed to bring it to life exactly the way I imaginedđ„°
Honestly, it all hinges on one decision. I like to think I'm a pro at playing out "for want of a nail" scenarios (đ).
And the nail in this particular scenario is Stiles.
I find it very strange and honestly OOC for him that he just. Leaves Erica and Boyd with the Argents. Says and does nothing about it. Yes, I know, we all like to point out that Stiles suggests murder as a solution often, but honestly, when he does, it is a legitimate solution to their problems. But Erica and Boyd aren't a problem, and even if they aren't friends, they aren't people he'd leave to be tortured and more than likely murdered by the Argents, who probably aren't his favourite people in any situation. And yes, I know, his dad, but here's the thing. The Sheriff is worried about him, a given. But physically, the Sheriff isn't at all in harm's way. He might be stressed, but him being stressed about Stiles is not new. Erica and Boyd are in real, immediate, physical danger. They are, at present, hooked up to a power source and being continuously electrocuted and held hostage by Thee family of werewolf hunters who have a disturbing record of ignoring their so-called "code" whenever they feel like it and aren't above killing innocents, humans, and children.
And we see that Erica and Boyd aren't being watched in the basement. When Stiles is put down there, it's just them, same when Chris comes down later to let them go. I'm sure the house itself is guarded, but they don't have eyes on them at all times. And Stiles canonically makes a habit of breaking into places he shouldn't be.
Granted, if he did go back and get them out (I'm not talking about a fight, I mean flat-out booking it bc the Argents aren't stupid enough to open fire in the middle of their own residential neighbourhood), maybe Erica and Boyd wouldn't go with him. It's not out of the question. They were leaving anyway. But imagine how. Galling. it'd be, to be a werewolf, stronger and faster and able to heal from mortal wounds, a creature right out of myth, and be shown up by a human. Not saying they were 100% wrong for running away. There were bad decisions being made all around â them, Derek, everyone. But Stiles is the same age as them. He's human. And he's staying in the fight. He doesn't have to. He could've just gone home. But he came back for them, even after they've been antagonistic towards each other. And he's going back still after being beaten by Gerard.
Maybe it's pride, maybe it's shame, maybe it's an instinctively, impulsively formed pack bond. But I think they'd go back with Stiles.
But here's the next layer. If Stiles isn't home, there's no one to bring Lydia. The whole deal of her going to Stiles to cry about Jackson's "death" makes no sense (why wouldn't she be with Danny, Jackson's best friend and one of her actual friends? Instead of the weird guy who behaves so creepily and inappropriately towards her and who also does not like Jackson, was bullied by Jackson, and was under a restraining order filed by Jackson for kidnapping him?), other than the fact he's literally the only other available character who can bring her in. Scott, Isaac, Allison are all preoccupied with the Kanima, same with Derek and Chris, and no way in fucking hell would she go anywhere with Peter. Even if Stiles is "in the know", Lydia's made a point that she does not want to be in the know. She doesn't want to be involved. But The Plot has to happen and Stiles is all that's left, so they just huck her to the Stilinski house, forget logic.
But no Stiles means no Lydia means no magic miracle cure for Jackson.
Not saying that the cure wasn't a cool reference to werewolf lore (calling a werewolf by their Christian name was a "gentler" myth of curing them, along with presenting them with their human clothes), but it also had notes of deus ex machina, IMHO. The whole season has kept up this Scott vs Derek sub-arc, Scott being the "right" one for wanting to cure and save Jackson, even if that means many other people die in the meantime, and Derek being the "wrong" one for wanting to kill the legend-even-to-werewolves, nearly indestructible, mind-controlled creature whose sole purpose is to kill and can't be reasoned with and is about to evolve into its Even Worse form, even though him/his pack are being blamed for these deaths and being wrongly hunted for it. And it's their contrasting attitudes towards this situation (saving one life no matter what vs taking one life to spare how many more) that make the cure feel like. Something of a cop-out. Rewarding Scott for all the shitty things he's done by adding a little "I told you so" on top about curing Jackson, and reinforcing his stance about there always being a "moral" solution. Which isn't feasible or realistic in any way. Sometimes all the options are shit, and making the hard choice is necessary. Even Derek acknowledged that! He tried to take the cure path too, when it was an option! And look where it got him!
But imagine the fucking satisfaction of having Stiles come in, metaphorical guns blazing, with Erica and Boyd instead. And the Kanima was already this close đ€ to evolving, which was the Whole Point of them scrambling the past two episodesâthey are out of fucking time. The Kanima is about to turn into something bigger and nastier, with goddamn wings (which means it can't be tracked on the ground, that it has an avenue of escape none of them can follow), and it is being controlled by Gerard fucking Argent. Matt the Rat was a petulant teenager with superiority problems. Gerard is a goddamn sociopathic serial killer who has no issue with manipulating his children (where do you think Kate got it from?) or his granddaughter, even killing them to get what he wants, and has been shown, multiple times, to not have any semblance of morals, empathy, kindness, anything. He killed an Omega in the first episode just because he could. He said out loud in his introductory speech that he was going to kill any werewolf he found in Beacon Hills, innocent or not, just because he could. Gerard is not someone you roll the dice on, and he is not someone you leave in control of a nigh indestructible monster like the Kanima.
And instead of the....Everything that happens with Scott and Derek and Gerard (I will never be over it, McCall can McCatch these fucking hands), we get the first real incident of the pack acting like a pack. Instead of seeing the Argents work together better than the literal pack animals, we see the werewolves bringing down something bigger and badder than them together.
And tbh, I wouldn't have been that upset by Jackson dying for real. As far as everyone else is concerned, he's already dead, and he wasn't that likeable. Sure, he had his sympathetic moments, and there's times I felt bad for him, but he was still an entitled asshole who begged, bribed, and blackmailed his way into getting the bite because his ego was just That fragile. If he'd stayed around and got some more development, showed some growth, it'd be different (IIRC, Colton Haynes left for personal reasons, no issue with that, I'm strictly talking about the character, not the actor), but we didn't get that, so he's just a somewhat sympathetic bully who got his lycanthropy, his cure, and then got to leave and fuck everything else, which is nowhere near satisfying. And him being a Kanima/werewolf hybrid was so fucking stupid, don't get me started.
But if Jackson had just died and stayed dead, it still could've been sad. Sad because he was still a kid who didn't deserve what he got. Sad because he did have friends and parents who cared about him and will mourn him. Sad because he can't grow up and be better. And it could've also been a wake-up call for Derek that he needs to do better as an Alpha, for the Betas to do better as his pack, for Stiles and Scott's "friendship" to get some much-needed adjustment, for Scott to maybe (but probably not) learn something about no-win scenarios and taking the path of least bloodshed instead of some unrealistic moral high road.
And the Alpha pack would still be a problem! They still have Cora! Maybe they snatch Isaac instead of Erica and Boyd, and since Isaac has no living family, it's on the pack to be looking for him (I still feel robbed we never even saw any other Reyes or Boyds) because they're the only ones who can. And I think it'd do something for Peter and his relationship to the pack as well, seeing the foundation of something with real potential, real possibility, a chance to get the Hales' star rising again.
Someone asking Luca after Shane's first season as AC on the Centaurs: "So, is it difficult with basically three captains, especially if two of them are married that must be hard to get used to.
And Luca and the other rookies being like, oh you mean the Dad-Trifecta? it's the best thing that has ever happened to us.
You loose your skates or you need help with paperwork or you're just feeling kinda sad and need a dad hug - you go Bood. he will grill you some chicken and go speak to Coach for you. You call him or Cassie if you're sick and they will pick you up and deposit you on the floor with Milo and you are their baby now. I'm 23 years old but that's my dad tho
If you're having trouble with other players, or if you're in like, a crisis? Mama Bear Ilya, will 100% get arrested for any of us and/or pick you up from the middle of nowhere any time of night. You wanna ragebait other players? He has the perception of a God and can tell from one look when a players second wife will leave him. He can also tell when you're feeling like shit mentally and he will pick you up take you to Harris farm and make you dog walk with him while throwing sweets at you. Holmberg got high sticked the other week Ilya spent like, 2 hours going through the guys Instagram with us while wine drunk and ripping his entire life to pieces with us.

Hi! That's one crazy mix lol
Pirate AU
Hey, Ho, Haul Together by Strictly_Platonic
Stiles has sailed on the pirate ship Beacon since he was nine years old. Now, when his captain and former foster father loses the ship in a gambling game gone wrong to the intimidating Captain Derek Hale, will Stiles be able to adjust to life on a new ship under new command? And why is Captain Hale so interested in Stiles? Does it have something to do with what the Beacon's surgeon, Deaton, told him when the new captain first set foot on the ship?
Kings of a Purple Sea by Kca1516
Stiles and Derek are rival pirate captains, each trying to get one up on the other in an attempt to rule the seven seas.
Derek is leader to the legendary Hale Pack. A ruthless family of werewolves who even the greatest fear.
Stiles, The Sea Charmer, has his own cruel reputation - though no one has seen his true face as he hides in silks of dark blue wrappings.
When a joint enemy threatens to take both crews out, will Stiles and Derek be able to put aside their differences and work together - or are they forever destined to burn in the water?
Breathing by LuxieÂ
âYou should have hidden below deck with the crew.â Derek says, taking a step closer as a silent threat.
âNah,â The stowaway says, looking completely unimpressed with Derek. âAll the interesting things are up here. Besides, downstairs it smells like shit and dead stuff.â
âThere's probably a lot of both down there.â Derek counters. âWhy are you here?â
âCuriosity.â The young man answers and starts moving around the cabin.
AU Where Derek is a Pirate Captain and Stiles is a Curious Mermaid.
Your Love Is The Compass Guiding Me To Happiness by bistiles_bilinski
Derek looked back at him, a small sliver of a smile parting his lips. âWell, Allison let Scott free because she knows the only place heâll go is to look for her.â He looked at the ropes securing Stiles to the beam before asking quietly, âAre you going to throw yourself overboard if I do?â
Derek watched as a wide grin cracked Stilesâ face, the first one heâd seen since the night heâd pointed Stiles in the direction of the tavern that led them to their current situation and it was beautiful.
âCross my heart,â Stiles said. âBesides, I canât swim and the thought of drowning alone in the ocean is enough to keep me from throwing myself over.â
The Call of the Sea by Dexterous_Sinistrous
Derek almost drowned when he fell into the sea at a young age. He thought he was going to die in the water's cold embrace. He didn't expect to be saved by a young boy. A boy with a tail.
Decades later, the longing still pulls at Derek's heart whenever he dives into the sea, something calling him away from land. The kiss they shared still burns at his lips whenever he thinks about it long enough. A reminder that without the owner of that kiss, he would be dead.
But sometimes loneliness makes you welcome the thought of death.
Not all treasure is silver and gold by princecharmingwinks
Captain Derek Hale is on a mission and he needs a fearless crew. His betrothed has been kidnapped, his family lives in exile and he harbours a dangerous secret. Enter Lady Erica Reyes, the perfect Quartermaster to join the crew. Erica has her own reasons for needing to escape her seaside town. An abusive father with a suggested 'arrangement' has forced her to create her own future.
A Derek and Erica friendship on the high seas, all in the name of love and family. Because not all treasure is silver and gold.
Hostis Humani Generis by Jmeelee
âWhere is my crew?â Stiles demanded when Derek came close enough. The words honked through his dry throat and set him coughing.
A soft but feral smile twitched over Derekâs bronzed features, slicing a swath through a black beard cut through with streaks of silver. âAh, the quartermaster finally awakens. I know itâs damn near impossible for you, but try not to speak. Iâll get you something to drink.â
âUntie me, first,â Stiles begged, but Derek only laughed.
A Ship Without a Mate Sinks by sarcasmandirony
Stiles persuades Scott into checking out the old ship anchored by the docks, of which Derek is captain.
Through Rough Waters by NicoNico
Stiles had no idea how he got in this position, tied up, blindfolded and gagged on a ship. Well, maybe he did have some sort of idea. God, how he hated pirates.
But you have heard of me by Kibbles423
Non-linear Pirates of the Caribbean fusion, Staring Scott as Will, Allison as Elizabeth, and Sterek as Captain Jack Sparrow.
âYou may hold his heart, but the sea holds his soul.â
âWell, if youâre really the infamous Captain Hale, then you know how to catch that ship.â The boy matched his stare and straightened up his stance. âAnd if the stories are to be believed, then you know how it feels to lose the love of your life.â
Derek blinked and raised a quizzical eyebrow. "Stories?"Â
"The stories of Captain Hale? How he sails around the seven seas in search of the love of his life? Unafraid to destroy anything and anyone in his path to get them back?"
"Ah, those stories."
Docked at Shore (Anchor Keeps Me Ground) by OverMyFreckledBody
As punishment for trying to tell Stiles that he's been bit, Scott expects torture.
He doesn't expect to instead be brought to Captain Hale's cabin door and forced to listen in. He definitely doesn't expect to hear Stiles' to be the one behind it.
Dying is the Day Worth Living For by tearsandholdmeÂ
âStiles!â he shouted. His hand reaching for him as he made his way over and gripped tight onto his arm. Stiles turned towards him, question screaming in his eyes. âWill you marry me?â
Stiles stared at him incredulously. His question interrupted by the battle cry of a man and his sword. It swung landing in between them and they joined forces to both stab him in the chest.
âI don't think now is the best time!â
Gang AU
The Gang Leader by halcyon1993Â

Pretty Venom by Innaz (zanni_scaramouche)
Derek Hale.
A name better suited for a myth than a man. Like the name of the devil, people either whisper it in fear or laugh it off as fable.
Cut it open and this cityâs heart doesnât bleed red. Itâs snowy white, and it pulses in the tight grip of Lucifer himself.

Wolf Pack: Beacon Original by Beerwolves, fearfrost1211
When his father landed the Deputy Chief of police position in Beacon Hills, Stiles moved to his new town gladly, embracing the chance of a fresh start. What he didnât expect was to find himself hopelessly drawn to the gruff Vice President of the local motorcycle gang, the Wolf Pack.
Derek Hale, resident bad boy of Beacon Hills, spent his time helping his sister lead the Wolf Pack and working on motorcycles at his familyâs automotive garage. Then, one hot summer afternoon a bright-eyed boy walked into his life and turned his world upside down.

PWP 30s Gangster AU.
Derek lives in the lucrative world of sin. Something about rival gang member Stiles inspires him to look beyond that world, but it doesn't matter. It's not like Derek can go there anyway. So maybe he just settles on taking Stiles to heaven as often as he can.
