Love is Like a Curveball by raimykeller, RxSterek
Stiles Stilinski, a young pitcher who's finally made it to the big leagues and settling into his spot as a relief pitcher, and feels like he's finally being seen as the pitcher he is, instead of a liability or his PTSD, had his world turned upside down when he's released via Designated for Assignment. But his world is turned around with one call when his dream team calls, wanting him to fill in their spot as a starting pitcher. Now he just has to prove he has what it takes to be a starting pitcher, along with his little shadow, Beastie Boy.
Derek Hale, back up catcher for the Mets, had a breakout season when the Mets starting catcher was out on an injury. He knows the other catcher has been working hard to rehab and get himself back to playing condition for the upcoming season and come back. Derek knows he could wait out his contract that's almost out and make a move that would be better for his career. But he likes the team and it's always been his dream to play for the Mets, to play for his home city.
Two players, working for their dreams, what happens when their worlds collide? Can they find their dreams?
