Ask me anything! So happy to finally share my ideas, find me on AO3 as 2005Snow2012
I do not tolerate any kind of hate, so walk away If you slapped the door when you came in.
Stiles making the "distracting my boyfriend and eating his burrito" trend, just for Derek's instincts to kick in. Now Stiles has to deal with a worried boyfriend who thinks Stiles is starving.
Take note: do NOT show hunger in front of your werewolf mate unless you're ready to be feed a feast
They were just playing, right? Just bantering and annoying the shit out of the other. It was a silly game, right? Nothing really aggressive, just insults, threats and dog jokes flying here and there. It was stupid and childish and harmless, right?
The bunny teeth comment was supposed to be just a comment, part of their game. Silly, right?
But something was wrong because now Derek wasn't smirking anymore, because now his arms were not crossed to flex his muscles but to make a barrier between them, because now Derek's shoulders went rigid and tense, because Derek slightly gasped before closing himself, because now Derek's walls were up, because Derek turned around and run away, because before putting on a blank mask his eyes showed shame and pain.
Because his teeth were one of his biggest insecurities. What kind of werewolf has bunny teeth? Not a good one, not a Hale
Scott and Derek develop a brotherhood relationship
Alison is alive
Melissa and the Sheriff have weekly dates to complain about their savage children and the supernatural; what's worst, your werewolf son dating a hunter or your human son dating a werewolf???
Stiles and Scott are brothers from different mothers
Erica and Stiles are the most dangerous duo ever
Stiles' neighbors think he's a dealer, why else would there be people climbing through his window every night??
sterek in which stiles takes “don’t call me dude” a lot more seriously but also a lot sillier
s: dude! guess what I found-
d: don’t call me dude
s: *rolls eyes* fine, honey bunch, guess what I found out about the creature we’re tracking
and
s: du-
d: don’t call me dude
s: *deep sigh through nose* okay then, sweetheart, can you believe roscoe stalled out again?
until he’s just calling derek by sweet little pet names and neither of them realize it until someone (probably scott idk) is like “….so when did you guys get together?” and they’re both turning bright red on the realization that they didn’t hate the pet names or the fact that someone mistook them for a couple
Stiles and Derek were driving back in the jeep from visiting a neighbor pack. Their only job was to help create connections among the McCall’s pack and the river pack. It was supposed to be fast and easy. Safe...
On their way back a huge storm poured the road, the fog painting the windows white; so terrible that not even Derek with his wolf senses was able to see and hear in the rainfall.
-"ehh..there are no hurricanes on this side of this country, right?"- was the last thing Derek heard before the Jeep crushed against a fallen trunk, the Jeep spun out of control for some meters before rolling over and stoping aside the road.
It was a horrible crash, sudden, aggressive, mortal.
By the time Derek regained conscious Stiles had already been bleeding for long minutes. The red and metal smell filled the remains of the Jeep along with breathless gasps and painful moans.
Stiles was crying, dying. Heavy tears covering his cheeks, shattered pieces of glass lodged in his throat, a metal stabing his side. Derek didn't know what to do. He couldn't do anything, not as a beta-omega. Stiles was dying on his arms and he was nothing but useless.
Derek cried, roared, trembled while trying to reach Stiles, his packmate, his friend, his crush, his chosen mate. The one who was going to die before hearing Derek's confession, before rejecting or accepting him, before finishing his FBI internship, before traveling to Poland to try his mother's favorite dish. He was dying, so so young, and Derek could only cry as his soul crumbled to dust.
His heart was failing, doubting, stopping. It was a shot in the dark, a lost cause, but if there was the minimal possibility... Derek crawled to an unmoving Stiles and bit his neck right above his shoulder wishing that only this once the universe would work on his favor.
Stiles' heart stopped.
Derek seased to breath.
The world became colorless.
The rainfall turned silent.
And then the mate-bond formed, first a weak sparkling line, then an incandescent glow that bind Derek's and Stiles' hearts.
It was a long process that consumed all of Derek's energy and power, but the lullaby of his mate's heartbeat was enough to get him to sleep. His arms cradling a sleeping Stiles as their wounds slowly closed.
An ambulance took them to Beacon Hills Hospital where the pack took care of them. When they finally woke up Derek's eyes shone red. A week later Stiles shifted into a white wolf with blue eyes
They´d been walking for YEARS, Stiles was sure, he couldn´t even feel his feet. If they had to continue for any longer his toes may as well say byebye to his poor soles and start an independent life in the woods.
Ha!- toesr-zan- He couldn´t help his giggles.
-Are you falling into madness already?- Derek turned to shoot him a glare.
-Hm- Stiles turned around offended- Wolf of little faith, my madness is part of my muchness- Stiles smiled while making something similar to Jazzhands
And that was the moment when Stiles mouth started to run free. Excuse him! He had been silent for way much longer than anyone could have expected.
-So... I´ve been thinking-
-Dangerous
-Asshole, don´t interrupt. I´ve been THINKINGGGG is the wood horny?- that at least made Derek stop and look at Stiles,
-What
-Yeah, I mean. Almost all animals I have seen so far were either fucking or fighting, not that I´m annoyed, as long as they don´t eat me I´m happy for them.
Derek rolled his eyes and returned to their Eternal Walk, yeah byebye TarzaToes, Toesr-zan(? Whatever.
- It´s mating season, there´s no such thing as HornyWoods
The condescending tone perceptible even for a dehydrated Stiles- Hm, I knew that, just making sure you knew. But that´s another thing. I never really got why Humans are the only species that don´t get really in the mood once a year. I mean, there are other species too but not really similar to humans- A hummingbird lunged from a nearby tree and Stiles ducked his head to escape the falling branches- I remember asking my mom once, she said that animals really want to have babies once a year and Humans want to have babies all the time, the difference was that it was harder to raise kids in the wild than in the cities. I mean it was a very MOM EXPLANATION with all the loving your children message, though it was kind of "right" too. The point of reproduction is to procreate, still it didn´t really answear my question, sooo do werewolves have mating seasons?
Stiles looked at Derek with expectant eyes though the answer never arrived
-Got it, personal question. Well, in case you didn´t know, Humans, aka me, don´t have mating seasons, weird. Still that´s not our only eerie peculiarity- His monologue was interrupted by a stream in which they had to jump from stone to stone without falling to the freezing water (again)
-Actually, there are many theories about Humans not being part of this world, as in-Stiles made the ET motion- alien things. And it makes sense, listen, most animals have animal families, cats, dogs, horses. A lion and my neighbor´s cat Samy are related and the relationship is quite obvious. But humans? WE ONLY GOT CHIMPANZEES! and bonobos, which share a really high percentage of DNA with us, but still!!! we cannot connect to them, nor talk to them, nor have babies with them. Still a lion and a tiger can have liger cubs, a horse and a donkey can have mule babies and-
Stiles froze, his arms fell to his sides as his eyes opened wide. His whole world being destroyed and reconstructed inside his mind. Derek halted and turned in one smooth movement. Eyes glowing
-What is it?
Stiles couldn´t answer, he couldn´t breathe. He stood motionless and stared at Derek, whose whole body was tense while searching for any possible threat that may have caused this reaction from Stiles.
-Shit Stiles what the hell is going on... are you? is it a panic attack?- He moved next to Stiles and grabbed his shoulders, just for Stiles to push him on his chest.
-MOTHERFU_ IS YOU!!!- Derek looked at Stiles as if he had lost his mind, yeah, maybe, he had (again DEHYDRATED) but WTF!
-YOUR KIND, WERE-WOLVES, OUR ANIMAL FAMILY- Stiles brain got back on line and rushed to explain itself to Derek´s raised and judging eyebrows.
-We, humans and were-wolves are animal family, almost the same but different. Oh my god Derek this makes so much sense. We are not aliens, we belong to this world and have an animal family which makes more sense than monkys. Dear Jesus drinking a Martini, wait ... does that mean that we can have kids? Is that possible?
Derek´s eyebrows did not change, but the corner of his mouth twitched twice as if fighting a smile. And that was when Stiles words reached his own brain and yeah nonono
-Not we "WE", I meant we as...well WE, as in other Human-beings and Were-wolves, n-not you and-d-Are laughing? ARE YOU SERIOUSLY LAUGHING?
Derek had turned his back to Stiles, still his shoulders were very obviously shaking. As he said before, Asshole. Stiles felt his face burning and the beginning of an awkward silence in the atmosphere
-So, can w-THEY, can they?
The awkward silence filled the space while Stiles discovered how interesting the floor had turned.
-Yes
His head snapped up. Ok, that was one answer more than what he was expecting. These woods were full of surprises.
--------------------
A few feet ahead Derek had a smile on his face that was irritatingly impossible to suppress. He could hear Stiles behind him going oddly silent for the first time in a long time. The idiot was fighting his own feet and tripping over the roots, but the silence... it was annoying.
-Maybe, but in your case I would reconsider the "monkey family" part
Stiles tripped, then silence and then
-Asshole.
Derek snorted and dodged, avoiding the branch thrown at him.
Established Sterek would be the most clingy and awkward couple to ever exist.
The poor pack now has to deal with double sarcasm, sass, irony and bad decisions.
They all would be in a pack meeting discussing their new fae enemy, just for Stiles and Derek to look at each other eyes for a whole minute without even blinking and then leave the room without explanation.
By the time the pack comes out with a plan and drives to the fae nest, the only thing left is fae black goo. A text to Stiles later and now they know why they left earlier.
"Sorry Scotty but it was takin 2 much and Derek and I were in the middle of a My Little Pony marathon. A few moody flies are not worthy ignoring Twilight Sparkle dude"
One of the things that Derek totally hates about humans is their tendencies to cheat. To werewolves mates are sacred. Once they find their other half they mate for life and devout every breath to keep a strong bond with their mate.
But humans? Derek has seen them cheating before, after and while getting mated. (-The word is "married", Derek. -Same thing)
He has seen them talk shit about their mates behind their backs and then act as if everything was ok. He's smelled the lovers around newlyweds. He's seen human mates hurting and killing each other on the morning News.
Humans are dishonest, disloyal, deceitful, unreliable. Even for their own kind.
Derek is attacked by a witch that traps him inside his own mind.
The pack brings his body to Deaton who checks him and explains that the only way to wake him up is for someone to get into his mind, find the element that doesn't belong and find Derek among his memories.
After discussing it the pack decides that among them it is Stiles who should do it. The only human Derek has ever trusted, the only person he trusts with his life. Stiles tries to argue, maybe calling Cora would be better but time is running out and "I wasn't part of my brother's life for a very long time Stiles, he would want you to do it".
And so Stiles enters Derek's mind.
And he finds Derek, a small Derek with a gap between his teeth, a baby Derek hugging a wolf plushy, a teen Derek that suffered bullying, a young adult Derek scared to show his wolf, a mourning Derek, an ashamed Derek, a nervous Derek but no trace of his Derek.
For to find what's his, Stiles must first accept his feelings and allow Derek to wander around his own mind.

Future fic-fic in progress

I feel like Derek suffered bullying during high school, he was so nerd and soft that his peers usually made fun of him. The weird child who knew a lot of boring stuff about animals and dropped those curiosities out of nowhere. The boy that liked to sit quietly and smell the autumn leaves. The child whose voice was soft and usually ignored. A young werewolf, too animal to fit among the humans and too soft to fit among the werewolves. Derek who cried at home because no one wanted to sit with him at lunch, and because he stopped a group of kids from hurting a puppy on the streets and now everybody was laughing at him, and because he actually enjoyed the literature novel and wanted to participate in that class so much just for the room to go very quiet and the teacher to say "you know it's just a book, right?". Derek who got very nervous in the locker room and had a crisis because why did he feel strange about his male teammates? Why couldn't he be normal? Why couldn't he be as wolf as his mom or Laura, or even Cora? Why was he such a failure?

Summary:
Stiles knew he would end up alone, he wasn't attractive, confident nor interesting. He accepted this long ago and even made a list.
From time to time he gets lost in his thought while looking at his friends and their partners.
If only he paid attention he would notice certain werewolves' eyes on him
Stiles can easily lift Derek, and it does definitely not affect Derek in any way. No, absolutely not. It does not make him feel any butterflies nor heat. And no his knees did not stop working after Stiles lifted him that time. Shut up Erica.

More canon than head canon if we think of the pool scene
