This is the monthly installment of softywolf’s Top Ten Sterek Fics (x). You can check my #topten tag for previous months or the topten navigation page to find a specific month. On a final note, this list is in no particular order and my favourite(s) has an asterisk (*) beside it.
December’s theme is Christmas.
if i built you in miniature by keskasi (T | 6836)
Derek quietly loves Christmas and is not afraid to wear the sweaters to show it. He hosts a children’s TV show about science and history, builds model trains, and is painfully awkward. Stiles works in a Hallmark-type store that sells Christmas decorations and model train pieces, and might have an unhealthy appreciation for sweaters. Of course he was going to fall for Derek. Of course he was.
The Sweater Bet by HugeAlienPie (T | 11648)
There’s two sides to every dare. Unless your dare involves people. Then there’s also the payback side.
Gift Shop by Trelkez (T | 5854)
The Christmas sweater alone should have sent any rational person running; the terrible customer service and delight in Derek’s suffering were just icing.
The Ribbon On My… by Dira Sudis (E | 11356)
Derek had assumed that he and Stiles would give each other simple things, swapping books or DVDs or jokey gifts, random dollar store toys and junk food.
Gingerbread* by slythaheart (T | 16572)
Stiles is offered a Christmas wish, and there’s only one thing he can think of to wish for.
how you doin’? by decideophobia (T | 6768)
“So,” Derek says eventually, because he feels awkward and uncomfortable, “how you doin’?”
i wish i had a river by thepsychicclam (T | 15588)
Derek is the editor of a successful publishing firm, and is horrible to all his employees, including Stiles. On Christmas Eve night, he gets visited by three spirits and has to take a look at his life.
Deck the Hales with Mistletoe and Holly by tryslora (M | 32827)
The one where Stiles manages to somehow imply that he might be dating his exceedingly hot TA for freshman lit, and ends up inviting him home for the holidays (along with his two crazy sisters) and really hopes that Lydia doesn’t find out he was lying and kill him before maybe he can make it so he’s not lying after all…
It’s A Christmas Thing by SnackerJack (NR | 7575)
Okay, Stiles knows that he’s part of the pack. He does. He is. It just… doesn’t feel like it at the moment. But it’s Christmas, so he sucks it up and proceeds to drown his feelings in sugar cookies. Or, five times Stiles got kissed under the mistletoe, and one time where it actually mattered.
Miss Fanny Bright by tigerlady (G | 2961)
When Derek doesn’t show up to the pack’s Christmas party, Stiles is determined to drag him out of his funk.
