The catalogue started simple, but even then, Shen Qingqiu couldn’t believe what he was looking at. For only ten points, he was able to buy a Starbucks coffee. For twenty, a bar of modern soap. It had everything…toothbrushes and toothpaste. Nice, fragrant shampoos and conditioners. A soft, fluffy pillow. Toilet paper. Shen Qingqiu stocked up on everything that even remotely struck his fancy, storing them inside a qiankun bag for the trip home. It had books. Shen Qingqiu would finally be able to know how some of the other novels he’d been reading when he died ended. It had tech. As Shang Qinghua had said, these were some of the more costly perks. Even the very basic typing computer he’d bought was 5000 B-Points, and for 200,000, you could even get a goddamn iPhone.
He found he could search by function as well as price. His face turned red when he noticed there was a category labelled “sex and pleasure”, which he quickly swiped past. He wasn’t shameless enough to look at that stuff around Shang Qinghua even if it was only visible to himself. But he…tucked it aside for later.
summary: The System gives Shen Qingqiu the ability to exchange B-Points for items, and what better way to earn points than by raising the satisfaction level of Zhongdian's favourite protagonist?
OR: The one where Shen Qingqiu starts seducing the fuck out of Binghe in order to enable his caffeine addiction.
pillow talk: i love a fic that raises the question: what would YOU do for a coffee in a world that doesn't have it? this is a really fun premise that ultimately leads to really lovely intimacy and connection btwn sqq and lbh.
Yeah, I dunno how to word this because it’s a mix of movies and TV series fusion and I don’t have enough of them to make it separately. BUT, I promise they’re gonna be awesome reads~
(I might be cheating a little because I can’t find those in my bookmarks and have recced those I searched for and found interesting to read.)

Legally Stiles by redhoodedwolf wc: 15393, ch: 7/7
Stiles took a moment to think this over. If he got into Harvard, he could win Lydia back. He'd show her how smart he really was, and that he was willing to go that extra mile for her to win her love back.
"Okay," he breathed, feeling a large weight settle on his shoulders. "Let's do it."
Scott cheered. "Awesome, dude. Let's go make the LSATs your bitch."
(I will always be appalled and baffled that no one recs this fic enough. It’s an awesome read, I’ve read it twice and I’ll probably reread it again after this fic rec.)
The Awakening by Venezia wc: 15672, ch: 7/7
*Underworld AU*
Stiles is a vampire, part of an ancient coven of werewolf hunters. When he discovers the werewolves are planning another rebellion, he takes matters into his own hands to stop it. But this time, the werewolves are looking for someone, someone who will help them win the war and Stiles has to find them before the werewolves.
However, he didn't plan on uncovering a plot within his own coven to overthrow the vampires. Now, Stiles must stop the werewolves and the Elders that made him who he is. He also didn't count on Derek, Derek who is the lone carrier of the gene that could destroy both species or give one the upper hand in winning the battle that's been raging for centuries.
The Ship of Dreams by CharlotteV wc: 45902, ch: 8/8
Stiles Stilinksi was just looking for his next greatest adventure, risking everything in a game of life to get aboard the Titanic to go home. He wasn't sure where he would be after that. Washington, Maine, Colorado? Little did he know the next adventure he went on would be a lot closer to his heart...
Derek Hale DeWitt was just looking for a way to breathe again, to not feel the ever constant darkness around his heart. Despite fighting it, he can't help what a certain boy in third class does to him, and he wonders if it's worth it just to let fate run it's course...
Or, the one where our favorite couple was on the Titanic.
i think i wanna marry you by thegirlinthedress wc: 11176, ch: 4/4
"Derek knows about his reputation among his employees; that they think he's a workaholic and that he hates people. The first one might be true, but it's hardly a character flaw that he likes his job. Editor in chief is a huge responsibility, and not one that Derek takes lightly. He gets the results he wants, even if they come at the expense of his staff liking him. Derek's philosophy is that they don't have to like him, they just have to respect him and get their jobs done."
The Proposal AU I've always wanted an excuse to write.
Don’t Write Me Off (Just Yet) by Finduilas wc: 27672, ch: 1/1
Former pop sensation Derek Hale isn't doing so well ever since his band 'Pack' split up. His manager Erica does what she can to get him mostly nostalgic gigs, reliving the 'Pack' glory days, but his solo career isn't taking off as well as he'd hoped. What Derek really needs is a good lyricist to go with the music he writes. Enter Stiles Stilinski, doing his friend's mom a favor by watering Derek's plants for a few days. Turns out Derek and Stiles are compatible in more ways than one. And Stiles can write! But does he want to?
The Romance of the Sword by seraphim_grace wc: 16512, ch: 1/1
Highlander movie AU
Derek is the immortal highlander caught in the terrible battle to the death over the mysterious prize, and Stiles is the professor helping the NYPD find out who is cutting off heads.
Inspired by the fact that Russell Mulcahey directed both Teen Wolf and Highlander I kinda had to.
Sterek Big Bang

How Many Wonders by SylvieW wc: 15359, ch: 2/2
Derek doesn’t think Scott should make a deal with Stiles the sea witch in the first place. When Scott can’t hold up his end of the bargain, he’s doomed to spend eternity in Stiles’ watery hell-soaked lair. Derek can’t stand to see his best friend taken and he’s got an eternity to spare…
You Were a Kindness When I Was a Stranger by DevilDoll wc: 8092, ch: 1/1
"It's not all handcuffs and spankings and learning to deep throat." This is an AU with consensual BDSM sex acts, in which Derek supports Stiles financially in exchange for a sexual relationship. Stiles is of legal age.
Scowls and Sarcasm by dr_girlfriend wc: 26,054 ch: 16/16
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single alpha in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a mate.
Whether or not Derek Hale felt that way was hardly a concern to the neighbourhood — the very fact of his arrival was enough that the surrounding families seemed to consider him the rightful property of one or another of their eligible sons and daughters. That was, of course, before they met the man.
The Boy Who Drew Wolves by dr_girlfriend wc: 5,863 ch: 1/1
"Once upon a time,” Stiles began, and Thomas sighed happily, resting his cheek in the hollow of Stiles’ shoulder. “There was a gangly, clumsy, freckle-faced young boy, and a beautiful, majestic wolf —”
“You mean, there was a beautiful, brilliant, amber-eyed boy, and a half-starved, mangy-looking wolf,” a voice interrupted. “It looks like I made it just in time, huh?” Derek said with a conspiratorial smirk at Thomas. “Gotta make sure you tell it right.”
“Yeah, Daddy!” Thomas parroted. “Tell it right!”
“Okay, okay,” Stiles sighed, settling his arm across Thomas with his hand resting on his husband’s waist, thumb drawing an absent-minded little circle. “Once upon a time, there was a probably-going-to-grow-into-his-looks-just-fine young boy, and a very lonely wolf…”
Only You, Sterek by im2old4thisotp wc: 57,218 ch: 8/8
Derek gets the name of his soulmate off a Ouija board when he is ten. He's obsessed with finding them, but then his life irrevocably changes. He erases the name from his life and determines to live free of those stupid words, "fate" and "destiny".
But on the eve of his wedding, he gets a phone call that will change the course of his life forever, and show him that maybe destiny does have a hold on him, after all.
Or, the Sterek rewrite of the movie "Only You" that you never knew you wanted.
I'd go anywhere to find you by KhaSterek wc: 18,185 ch: 5/5

summary
Your viewers are saying you aren’t usually this desperate. Is that true? Is hearing me in your head telling you how beautiful you are turning you on?
Jisung whimpers out a breathy, “Yes,” but he’s smart enough to hide it by twisting his fingers inside of himself. Precum clings to his knuckles and drips onto his stomach, leaving Jisung looking completely debauched. Sweat causes his hair to stick to his forehead, and his lips are red beyond belief. Hyunjin commits the sight to memory, his orgasm sneaking up on him like a snake.
You’re so pretty, baby, Hyunjin praises. Jisung keens, throwing his head back as his fingers continue their relentless pace.
“I mean…” Xie Lian fidgeted again, flustered now. “I know people kiss. And things happen. But I always thought… a kiss was just pressing your mouths together? Like this-” and he mimed a quick, closed-lip peck into the air, as if kissing an invisible plum.
Hua Cheng made a sound like he was being strangled.
summary: Xie Lian had never gambled just for fun before, never been hand-fed grapes in someone’s lap, never exchanged shy, cheeky kisses over shameless little dares.
Then again, there were a great many things Xie Lian had never done, things he hadn’t even imagined lay within the realm of possibility.
But playful dares become soft confessions, soft confessions bloom into tender kisses, and soon a devoted ghost finds himself caught between endless reverence… and a ravenous desire so consuming he can no longer hold back.
pillow talk: look i can't even lie to you this fic unlocked something deep within me. can't say i've ever searched up virginity kink as a tag...i have since i read this...the tension just builds and builds and builds until it bursts. fantastically done.
Levi guessed that was the closest thing to thanks he would receive from Erwin tonight. He looked - well, he looked uncomfortable. Poor Erwin, no experience with women of the night. He was lucky to have a friend like Levi.
“Well,” Levi said, putting his empty glass on the table. “I had best be off. I bid you both a lovely evening.”
As he made his way to the door, Erwin moved - to walk him to the door? Levi couldn’t tell - Erwin had halted and stood awkwardly. He had a strange look on his face, constipated, concerned…Perhaps he wanted to thank Levi but didn’t want to be rude in front of Delilah? It was really quite charming how awkward Erwin had become in the presence of a whore. Levi decided to put him out of his misery.
“You’re welcome, Erwin.” He said as he opened the door. “Enjoy.”
summary: After an unsuccessful expedition that leaves Erwin stressed, Levi misinterprets a comment from Hange and takes it upon himself to set Erwin up with a woman of the night…not knowing that what Erwin needs is something else entirely.
pillow talk: i really loved levi's characterization here. the premise starts off funny and then moves seamlessly into a great look into the closeness and trust in their relationship. i love the idea of erwin being the one to introduce levi to the ways his body can feel good + levi going along so willingly because it's erwin!
