Summary:

He is the last of the Born Wolves. His enemy is the Silver Cathedral of hunters and the secret weapon they are preparing for the last massacre—the Holy Saint.

The plan is simple: to kidnap the Holy Saint. The hunter’s secret weapon must be removed no matter what.

What is hidden under those veils? What lies deep within? Is it soft rivers of light, or the snapsnapsnap of madness?

- ·✦· -

'I have never given much thought to the afterlife,’ he admits, ‘and if there is one, I imagine I’ll go to hell. But recently, I’ve been thinking…that perhaps because I have died once, to evolve into my full wolf, that I was granted the chance to meet you.

He holds Stiles’ hands, careful. Presses a lingering kiss to Stiles’ knuckles.

“You are my empyrean,” he breathes free, a wisp of a confession voiced aloud—it feels important to say out loud, into the world, even if his voice is barely there and cracking. “You are my afterlife. And I, for some reason, am blessed.”

A tale of the monster who fell for the saint.

Stiles is an emissary for hire. After four months of negotiations, he's finally back stateside, and all he wants is his own apartment and one night off from mediating supernatural creatures. Denver is supposed to be a quick layover. Then his flight gets canceled, and the stranger he's been pretending not to notice across three different airports for the last fourteen months sits down next to him at the bar. One night turns into one morning, which turns into finding out that something has been living in Denver International Airport a lot longer than the airport has, and that it just noticed both of them.

Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence Relationships: Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski Characters: Scott McCall (Teen Wolf), Erica Reyes, Vernon Boyd, Allison Argent, Chris Argent, Sheriff Stilinski (Teen Wolf), Laura Hale, Gerard Argent, Kate Argent Additional Tags: Torture, Chronic Pain, Soulmates, Packless Omega Derek Hale, Hurt Derek Hale, serious ethical concerns--because gerard argent is seriously immoral, Bigotry & Prejudice, Human Scott McCall (Teen Wolf), College, Angst Summary:

Soulmate AU where soulmates share pain. ---- Stiles is about a year out from graduating with his bachelor's in health science and his 'graduate program resume' is nearly perfect—he's just short of a 4.0 GPA and his professors love him. That being said he's got a significant lack of research credit under his belt and getting into a GOOD graduate program for medical research is nearly impossible without it. So after all of his other professors this term couldn't adopt him into their research projects he ended up taking up Professor Gerard Argent on his offer to join his research project. Little does Stiles know that Professor Argent's 'research' involves the torture of one Derek Hale.

Bitten Mischief

Writer: @thenerdyindividual Artist: @uinuvien

Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Relationships: Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski Characters: Derek Hale, Stiles Stilinski, Scott McCall (Teen Wolf), Lydia Martin, Malia Tate, Kira Yukimura, Sheriff Stilinski (Teen Wolf) Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Werecreature Stiles Stilinski, Full Shift Werecreature Stiles Stilinski, Mystery, Stiles Stilinski Gets Bitten, Hijinks & Shenanigans, Stiles Stilinski is a Little Shit, Derek Hale is Bad at Feelings, Cuddling & Snuggling, Monster of the Week, Derek Hale Is Bad at Communicating, Pining Derek Hale, Getting Together, Sharing a Bed, Sheriff Stilinski Knows (Teen Wolf), Sheriff Stilinski Is So Done (Teen Wolf), Oblivious Stiles Stilinski Summary:

When Stiles is bitten by a rogue Alpha tearing its way through Beacon Hills, he expects to turn into a werewolf. He's prepared for the uncontrollable anger, the sharp teeth, and the super strength, but even after he heals from the bite, he gets none of those. He's faster, sure. He has enhanced senses, yes. But it's nothing compared to what Scott developed after being turned. Sometimes, the shape you take reflects who you are inside, and Stiles has always gotten up to shenanigans. What creature reliably gets into places it shouldn't, doesn't look very intimidating but will bite the hell out of you, and is too smart for its own good? A raccoon. While Stiles is learning to control his new abilities, a new threat arrives in Beacon Hills, and werecreatures start going missing. It's up to the Pack to figure out who took them and why. Also, Derek has started acting very strangely about Stiles, like he might actually care about him, and it is throwing Stiles for a loop.

After Stiles was taken by Gerard, he tries to push through the injuries he sustained in the Argent's basement. He's hurt more than he realizes and almost dies. He calls for help, but he ends up calling someone he hadn't meant to call. Now, Stiles has to deal with the after affects of torture, almost dying, physically healing, and confusing feelings he's starting to get for a certain broody emo werewolf. The bi panic is real.

Hello! I'm very interested in making podfics but I can't seem to find anywhere that explains how to put the audio file into ao3. I'm not the most tech savvy person so I'm hoping you or your followers know. Thank you in advance, I love your account!

There are two ideas you need to understand when you're trying to post media on AO3. Those two ideas are hosting and embedding.

hosting means (basically) storing and sharing. You upload a file to a host and that host then serves your file to the people or websites that try to access it.

embedding is (basically) displaying or presenting.

The host holds the file and shares it with AO3 when you embed it in your work. It then gets displayed when you post.

Both archive.org and soundcloud.com are hosts that can embed directly into AO3. Other hosts might not work but I know that those both do.

Since you're new to podficcing, I'm also going to recommend Azdaema's Newbie's Guide to Podficcing and GodofLaundryBaskets' Keep it Simple: A Highly Biased Podfic Guide for Absolute Beginners.

Podficcers - please add in any other resources you think might be helpful!

(shoutout to @hullomoon for reccing those two guides to me when I was looking for info before)

[flamingwell]

A great guide for different hosting options is @godoflaundrybaskets ' amazing Podfic Hosting Guide! I highly recommend it.

I also want to extend an offer to anyone interested in maybe dipping their toe into podfic waters (or who is already a podficcer) to join the Podfic community on Tumblr and also the Podfichat discord server. Lots of super knowledgeable and super friendly podficcers would love to welcome you and help you out with any questions you have!

I learned, some years ago, from this post by @emilianadarling

Podficcers who work with Duck Prints Press also threw together some tips we have here:
