Let There Be Sterek

Hey I'm K. These are all the sterek fics I have read so far, I'm keeping them here so I can find them again later. Also, I've found many great fics through blogs like this so please look around. I've tagged each fic and added my opinion to make things easier. You can look for any tags in the search bar below or just browse. Okay, I'm off to read more. (I have about 200 fics bookmarked right now, so I'm going to try and post them all on here whenever I have time)

T - 36891 words - Office AU

The first time he sees Stiles Stilinski, the kid’s on his hands and knees in Derek’s office.

Or the one where Derek has to battle corporate espionage, meddling family members, clothing turned choking hazards, and inappropriate feelings for his obscenely attractive new intern.

K: Really lovely, lots of UST and very funny. I love the setting and Derek and Laura's relationship is just as I imagine it would be. Definitely worth reading!

T - 37622 words - Summer Camp AU

“I’m going to kill you,” Derek says to his brother sourly.

“Darling, please, no death threats when you’re off to camp.”

“At camp?”

Talia smirks, “Keep them quiet, at least.”

K: So good! It doesn't take much to convince me to read anything by stilinskisparkles, it's always great! What I love in particular about this one are Derek and Scott as brothers and Derek's failtastic grumpiness. He's a dark little rain cloud, but Stiles somehow always seems to spark something inside him, something like happiness maybe? I really loved reading this, it's adorable and funny and just awesomely happy :)

E - 42812 words - fluff and angst, slow build

When Stiles gets thrown into the bank vault about twenty minutes after him, Derek isn’t even surprised.

As it turns out, neither is Stiles.

K: ugh this one is now one of my favourites. It's one of those fics that you could imagine being canon. It's beautiful slow build, so many feelings and just enough fluff to balance out the angst. There is some discussing of consent issues, so watch out for that. I just love the way the author switched from Stiles to Derek's perspective and made them feel very real. Just what I needed after the season finale!

Here's another one :) It has puppies!!

T - 2425 words - Puppies, fluff

"I'm going to name you Derek," Stiles announces, still looking cross-eyed at the puppy in his hands. It's looking back with a confused and sad expression, probably asking Stiles in some baby dog language why it's being named after a brooding werewolf. "It's because you're always sulking, even though I got you a nice basket and biscuits and everything," he says sternly. The puppy whines and hangs its head.

Derek is pretty cute.

Suffering in this sterek drought? I recommend some fluffy warmth-sharing fics

M - 3680 words - Future Fic, Cuddles

He's sure that some complicated law of physics is in danger of being broken here. Something about two things being incapable of occupying the same space at the same time.

K: I forgot how much I liked this :) Cuddles that lead to sexytimes is one of my favourite tropes! Rereading it gave me all the Sterek feels!!

E - 22806 words - Future Fic

Suddenly, Derek is everywhere, and not just in that creepy, Edward Cullen, I'm-gonna-stalk-around-and-lurk-broodingly way. Stiles doesn't know what's up with that, but he's pretty sure there's only one conclusion to be reached.

K: Ugh this is so cute! There's a perfect mix of fluff and sexytimes. Usually obliviousness in characters annoys me a little, but it's handled really well. These two idiots really need to learn to communicate, but I love them anyway. Fics like this just make me happy :)

E - 27067 words - Fake/Pretend relationship

In which Derek has been invited to the Greater Pacific Northwest Alpha Symposium (that's not what it's called, Stiles, stop saying that), and showing up unattached would mean an arranged marriage. When the rest of the pack objects, he agrees to let Stiles come along to pose as his mate. Derek is reasonably sure that he's not going to make it out of this weekend alive.

K: Oh my heart, I can't take it!! There's a reason this is one of my favourite tropes! All the sexual tension and the pining and the unbelievable hot sex at the end! Oh my god this is definitely a favourite!

E - 28904 words - Human AU, mystery

According to their fansite, Two Bros in the Know (or TBK, as they were referred to by those in the know) grew out of an idea Scott had their senior year of high school.

The truth was much less cinematic: Stiles wanted to impress Lydia Martin, and thought being a famous ghost hunter would do the trick. But it wasn't until the summer before their senior year in college, during an epic tour of farmhouses in the Dakotas, that TBK's popularity went through the roof. Thanks, in large part, to their "rivalry" with Natural, the show featuring real-life siblings Derek and Cora Hale, and their mission to debunk all the same kinds of places TBK said were haunted.

This is the story of how the TBK crew met the Hale crew, featuring a golden bromance, pranks, stress baking, pillow forts, an internet meme, homemade moonshine, ghostly apparitions, dramatic rescues, the plot of a Muppet Show special, and of course, true love.

K: I love it! It's hilarious and cute and well written, I was smiling all the way through. I definitely recommend it!

E - 9641 words 

Derek gets forced to watch some sci-fi show about a surly, secret prince and the sarcastic young spaceship captain hired to aid him on his quest. Strangely enough, he finds himself hooked on it. So much so that he's even drawn into the fandom. There he meets a popular fanfic author with an oddly endearing attitude, and he gets rather smitten. Maybe this mystery guy could actually help get him to stop pining for Stiles...

K: Jeeeez I have so much love for this fic! And so much respect for the author for taking the time to make tumblrs for the characters and linking them to the story. That's right, Derek and Stiles obsessing about a show on tumblr and writing fanfiction, all the while not knowing they're talking to each other. I've read this couple of times, the premise is just so awesome. I wish there were more fics like this!

M - 7308 words - Human AU, horses

Derek's expecting the new guy. He's expecting another mostly-useless college kid who doesn't know one end of a horse from the other, and Derek doesn't have the time to babysit. What he's not expecting is Stiles Stilinski, who carries on conversations with the livestock and gets maybe a little too chummy with Isaac and is really kind of stupidly perfect in every way. And it's justdistracting, that's all.

K: This was great! There's some serious pining from Derek's point of view and the image of them on horseback is just ugh. I'm gonna go look for more horse related fics now.

E - 5195 words - Human AU

Derek is an Elvis impersonator. Stiles is the sound and lighting engineer in charge of his show. Over sequins, hip swivels, and 50s ballads, they fall in love.

K: This could easily be crack but it isn't. It's so romantic! Can you imagine Derek as Elvis, but his moody eyebrows and hip swivels? I think I'd swoon.

[hale-hugs]

T - 5544 words - Human AU

Derek's parents pick up a hitchhiker. Laura is completely horrible. Everything turns out better than expected.

K: aaaksefhkjd this is the cutest fic! Adorkable Derek and a meddling Laura. I recommend reading the prequels by Lauraby: http://archiveofourown.org/works/734843 . They fit really well with the story and are very cute as well.

[hale-hugs]

T - 2927 words - Human AU

Derek is a Free Hug guy. Stiles does not want to be hugged thank you very much.

K: I really like the premise of this fic, but I kinda wish there was more to it than a just very persistent hugger!Derek. I think it could have been written differently. It's a cute fic nonetheless.

[hale-hugs]

E - 11643 words - Human AU, dogs!!

Stiles has a tiny adorable hyper puppy. Derek has an awesome huge Malamute mix. They both go to the dog park a lot.

K: I love fics with dogs! I wish there were more. This one has a socially awkward Derek and an adorable puppy. So cute!

[hale-hugs]

M - 30 266 words - hospital AU

“We had to splint a girl’s leg in a ditch,” Scott says excitedly.

“Bro, you sound way too happy about that,” Stiles complains, opening up his bag and pulling out a Twinkie.

Derek removes it from his hand silently and replaces it with an apple. Stiles scowls at him for a second then bites into it, regardless. Derek sits back and lets the group discuss the merits of dramatic lifesaving feats for winning over the ladies. Scott is convinced it’ll help impress Allison; Isaac thinks Scott’s a loser. Stiles—

Stiles is falling asleep on Derek’s shoulder.

K: This such a beautiful fic!! It just makes me happy and smile so much! Derek and Stiles' relationship is really adorable and all our favourite characters make an appearance. There's a Christmas element to it as well so it's perfect for this time of year.

E - 13053 words - friends with benefits, future fic

When Derek comes to Stiles with a confession that he has trust issues that make any sex life impossible, he offers Stiles a mutually beneficial proposal:

They are close friends who trust each other explicitly, therefore, they can have sex with each other and take care of both his intimacy issues and Stiles's 'virginity' issue all in one no-strings-attached deal.

Derek and Stiles are comfortable with their arrangement... It's everybody else that is waiting for their friendship to be damaged beyond repair.

K: This is really worth a read! The 'friends with benefits' way of getting together works really well for future Derek and Stiles I think. Plus I smiled all the way through at their obliviousness :)

[hale-hugs]

T - 16700 words - future!fic, apocalypse AU

It's not like he forgets about the scar. Just, sometimes it takes him off guard when he's half asleep or run down. It's there, a new companion that reminds him of the world he now lives in, how it's changed and what it's cost. Still, sometimes he'll blink at it owlishly in the mirror like he's doing now, at the way it runs alongside his collar bone and down. It even separates a mole into two neat halves.

K: This is really good! I really like the premise of the story, it could even be longer. If you enjoy apocalypse type AUs you should definitely read this. The sterek is not the focus of the story, which I like. It suits the fic. If you're looking for a pwp, this is not it.
