’Till You Make It by standinginanicedress (1/1 | 46,088 | R)
“I’m saying – let’s fake it.”
Derek blinks at him. Hard. Stiles never knew that someone could physically make a blink look hard, but there Derek goes, slamming his lids together like he’s fucking exercising them. “Fake it.”
“Pretend, dumbass,” he backhands Derek lightly on his upper arm. “Pretend like we’re doing as well as our parents want us to and then they’ll be off our backs, right?”
“We don’t have to pretend anything, Stiles,” Derek says evenly, in a tone that suggests he’d much rather be yelling. “We'reliterally soulmates.”
“That’s the beauty of it! It’s going to be so fucking easy. I can’t believe we never thought of this before,” he runs his hands through his hair and shakes his head in amazement, grinning from ear to ear. “Holy shit. I can’t believe I just solved all our problems for us, man.”
Ssshhh! (or the voice in my head will have to shout) by mirrorkill (1/1 | 20,288 | NC17)
Things in Beacon Hills are always weird, but Deputy Derek Hale is pretty damn sure he’s getting the brunt of this week’s insanity. There’s a serial killer in town getting their kicks by posing people weirdly and maybe the local coven is to blame. His mom’s setting up his sister with his new boss’s cute son. There’s some guy talking in his head. Oh, and his heat kicks in, four months too early. Also: he’s pretty sure cell phones are the worst thing on the planet.
This is Derek Hale’s terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week. All he wants is to enjoy his new apartment in peace. But you can’t always get what you want. And if he tries real hard, will the voice in his head help him get what he needs?
My Bitchy Soulmate by tee_tee (1/1 | 16,156 | NC17)
Stiles is a super sarcastic virgin and Derek is Scott’s broody roommate. They don’t really get along (until they do).
#omegaproblems by subnivean (1/1 | 12,539 | NC17)
Stiles didn’t need an alpha. He might want one, though.
You’re the Riddle of the Century by stayingputwouldbeablunder (2/2 | 45,700 | R)
“Okay,” Stiles says, drawing out the y. “Well, I’ve gotta go, Derek. Plenty more clueless individuals like yourself waiting to learn how to operate the majestic electronic device you hold in your hands.”
“I’m not holding it.” Derek doesn’t know why he does it but he waggles his fingers in front of the camera; the tablet is propped up against his legs. “See?”
Stiles rolls his eyes, smiling. “Goodbye, Derek. And thanks for calling Amazon today. Catch you on the flip side.”
“Bye, Stiles.”
Oh shit.
In which Stiles is a tech advisor for Amazon and Derek really loveshates his Kindle.
A’s:
A Hale for the Holidays by rlnerdgirl (1/1 | 38,095 | NC17)
“I sent you a Christmas card that got sent back to me. Did you get a new apartment?” his dad wonders. The question is all suspicion and little anything else.
A flicker of an idea sparks. It’s not nearly formed well enough for him to say, “Yeah, actually,” and when he follows that with, “I moved in with someone,” he wants to punch himself in the face. He’s living with someone?!
“You’re living with someone?” It’s the same voice and tone as the one in Stiles’ head, just thirty years older.
Two things keep Stiles from bashing his face onto the table: there’s a steaming cup of coffee in the way and, more importantly, his dad will definitely hear. Someone passes by in front of him and a semi-familiar book cover catches his eye. “Derek Hale,” he muses, and stops. No. That wasn’t meant to be out loud.
Edge of the Moon by thepsychicclam (1/1 | 21,391 | NC17)
Derek doesn’t need a partner. He’d had a partner, and now she was dead. He sure as hell didn’t need this spastic, babbling kid as his partner - no matter who thought he was a genius or who his father was. But the SEA required all their agents to have partners, and Director Argent was insisting Derek work with Stiles.
With dead pools surfacing with agent names on them - including Derek’s own Pack - he has to ignore his hatred for his new partner and focus on taking down the Benefactor. If he doesn’t kill Stiles first.
Strut on a Line, its Discord and Rhyme by xiaq (21/21 | 61,828 | NC17)
“Carry me,” Stiles says.
“No.”
“But I’m injured.”
“You have a rash,” Derek says. “On your arm. Your feet work just fine.”
“Please?”
“No. You weigh almost as much as I do. And you ate a pound of chicken at lunch.”
“Well, yeah, but I pooped like an hour ago, so.”
“You’re disgusting.”
“Don’t play, you love me.”
I do, Derek thinks, relatively horrified. I really do.
Untamed by rosepetals42 (1/1 | 28,282 | PG13)
A Harry Potter AU where Stiles is a Slytherin transfer student and Derek is the grumpy Gryffindor who falls in love with him.
There are also potions, elves, and falcons involved. Oh, and illegal use of magic. Obviously.
the ring of the ancestors is not a euphemism by kellifer_fic (1/1 | 10,637 | PG13)
Stiles hadn’t noticed the way the entire commissary had gone silent when the guy had approached his table, or the two military escorts that had been flanking him, looking at each other like maybe they should be intervening but weren’t sure how. All he saw was someone stealing the last dessert from him and Stiles didn’t think about it, he just reached across the table and snatched it back with a, "What the hell, dude?”
Kass’:
Occam’s Razor by MissAnnThropic (14/14 | 49,182 | NC17)
When Stiles goes to sleep, he’s a junior in high school. He wakes up in a world where he’s twenty-four and married to Derek Hale. Stiles just can’t seem to catch a break.
When Trust is Everything by hellbells (12/12 | 27,794 | PG13)
For a secret to remain true then only one person can know it; if not then it will come out. Beacon Hills is the converging point of several secrets all wrapped up in the supernatural. For Stiles, the unravelling of several will let him find peace, love and safety in the arms of his true mate. The only question is can he trust a Sourwolf and his pack well enough to show his true self.
It just might be the one thing between Beacon Hills and safety!
(Or observe the really awkward distrustful courtship between a Sourwolf and a hidden Fae Mage)
In Sanguinem Scriptum Est by secondstar (2/2 | 31,346 | NC17)
In order to stop a new onslaught of nightmares from plaguing him, Stiles decides to become an emissary. No longer defenseless, he begins to realize that not everything is as it seems.
Yeah? Yeah. by Emela (1/1 | 2,178 | G)
As soon as Stiles got near enough, Derek pulled him into his arms. Stiles immediately melted into it, burying his face in Derek’s neck and let out another sob, not knowing how much he had needed the contact. Stiles comes out to Derek.
The Opposite of Overrated by AmyTheEleventh (1/1 | 2,197 | PG13)
Stiles is completely content to live his life in black and white, although he could do without Scott’s gentle ribbing about his color choices.

Play Crack the Sky by WeAreTheCyclones (23/23 | 122,787 | R)
Excerpt from “Hale Pulls the Plug on the Future of Rock,” Rolling Stone, Issue 1203 – Oct. 2014 “Fans and music industry vets alike are left reeling in the wake of bassist Derek Hale’s sudden departure from Smokes for Harris. At a time when the foursome from Beacon Hills, California seems to be on the cusp of rock superstardom after just one double platinum record, Smokes has everything to lose.”
Excerpt from “Smokes for Harris: Gladiator,” SPIN.com – Feb. 2015 “Smokes for Harris gives in a little to the pop punk of yesteryear in their sophomore effort, but rather than pandering to fans of a lost era they elevate the genre in a way that hasn’t been seen in quite some time. Frontman Stiles Stilinski works double duty as singer and primary songwriter and proves that he can handle the task even without former bassist Derek Hale.“
Seeing Wolves (Where There Are No Wolves) by MellytheHun (16/16 | 67,901 | NC17)
Or otherwise known as "Derek Goes to the Doctor,” wherein Derek gets the therapy he so desperately needs and gets healthy. The clearer his head gets, the more room it seems to have for Stiles.
In Any Version of Reality by alisvolatpropiis (7/7 | 39,853 | NC17)
Standing next to not-Derek – whoa, holding not-Derek’s hand? – is someone who looks remarkably like Stiles. Is Stiles, a slightly-altered replica, just like this guy both is and isn’t Derek.
It’s not like looking into a mirror – one, because looking into a mirror actually makes some kind of sense, and two, because not-Stiles looks older too, mid twenties maybe. And the tips of his short, spiky hair are dark purple, and he’s got a lip ring and he’s shirtless and covered in tattoos and what the holy hell?
“Time travel?“ He’s sufficiently freaked. Somewhere in the back of his mind, he hears his dad laughing.
“Not exactly,” not-Derek says, and shit, even his voice sounds exactly the same, disconcertingly gentle. He gestures behind him, and Stiles looks over his shoulder, where behind him, scattered across the porch and in the front yard, are more…Dereks and more Stileses.
Fourteen total, including the two at the door, he notes distantly, eyes feeling like they’re about to pop out of his head from bulging so hard.
Seven other Dereks. Seven other Stileses.
Seven Derek and Stiles pairs.
Birds of a Feather Fuck Together by calrissian18, maichan808 (maichan) (1/1 | 26,144 | NC17)
Laura is a crusader without a cause, Stiles dances like the whole world’s betrayed him and Derek’s having trouble getting both feet outside his door.
heart as black as night by thepsychicclam (8/8 | 97,724 | NC17)
It’s 1924, and Derek Hale is a bootlegger and runs one of the many speakeasies in New York with the help of his Pack. They don’t know, however, that he’s also a hitman for his Uncle Peter, a shady Omega with mafia ties to whom Derek owes a huge debt.
Stiles Stilinski is about to graduate from high school and start working at the docks when he stumbles into the Sour Wolf, a speakeasy with lively music, a glamorous jazz singer, and a certain dark, handsome, and moody bartender that Stiles can’t stop thinking about.
Lydia’s:
To Be Still in the Storm by AllTheFoolsFallInLove (1/1 | 4,164 | PG13)
Stiles was not one without limitations. He just chose to ignore them. He had been told that he would never be able to do well in school due to his ADHD. He ignored the limitation. He had been told that he would never make first line at lacrosse. He ignored the limitation. He had been told that he would never win the heart of Lydia Martin. He ignored the limitation. Granted he won her heart in a strictly platonic way but these are mere details.
The one limitation that Stiles knew he would be unable to ignore was the one that he so desperately wished didn’t exist. Stiles was not Pack.
No one had told him, no one had had to. It was an unspoken barrier between himself and those he thought of as his friends. Sure he did research, of course he fought beside them, obviously he took care of them, but the one thing he could never be was one of them.
Get Married… Or Run Away? by eeyore9990 (1/1 | 3,603 | PG13)
Stiles has a ring, a best man, Cora’s approval… and now a Proposal Plan. Romantic without being sappy or cheesy, it’s a perfect plan.
…Until it’s not.
My Hips Don’t Lie (And I’m Starting To Feel You Boy) by MagnificentlyMagic (1/1 | 5,082 | NC17)
“Dancer’s hips,” Derek joked.
“Oh yeah baby, my hips don’t lie,” Stiles smirked, licking his lips.
“You’re an idiot.”
“You love it.”
——————
OR; The one in where Derek is a photographer for Calvin Klein and has roped in his dancer boyfriend (and his dancer friends) to model for him.
No Stones in Heaven by DothTheRaven (1/1 | 9,652 | NR)
Derek knows the moment he meets eleven year-old Stiles that he’s found his mate. Of course he doesn’t tell the boy this, because he knows that would be creepy and would probably get him arrested. So he bides his time, and befriends the boy and falls in love and waits for the day when Stiles can be a part of his life, forever.
And really, in the end, it’s all Derek’s fault.
Stiles will become a more permanent part of Derek’s life, just not in the capacity he’s been hoping for. Not in the capacity he needs.
It’s because Derek wanted his privacy. It’s because Derek lied to his family. It’s because he wasn’t paying close enough attention.
It’s about happiness and sacrifices and loving your family and doing what’s right, even when it feels like the worst decision of your life.
Photoshopping My Heart by Wolves_of_Innistrad (1/1 | 3,622 | PG13)
Based on this idea "I’m a traditional painter who has to take a basic Photoshop class, you’re a graphic design major sitting next to me and getting sucked into helping me out because I’m so terrible at this” AU
Derek is an art major studying painting, Stiles is a graphic design major who can’t believe he is being forced to take basic photoshop classes. Derek is laughably incompetent with computers. Hilarity ensues.
