"“Maybe that’s the problem,” she tells him, low and even, monotone, letting the words spill, not letting herself feel them. “You—did everything you could think of, to get me, to keep me. You did so much work.” Stiles stares at her, barely even blinking. “It isn’t always so much work,” she says. “Trying to get someone to say yes. Getting me to—say yes.”“I wouldn’t know,” Stiles tells her, bitter and self-pitying. Lydia rolls her eyes.“You will,” she says “You’re—not a bad guy, Stiles, someday"

I am so reluctant to talk about this story! I think this quote sums up what I was going for pretty nicely, though.

I was pretty nervous about posting Compound a Compound for all of the obvious reasons: it's not Derek/Stiles, it's het, it's dubcon, it's more of me "making Stiles the bad guy." The response has been really, totally overwhelming and intense-- mostly in a good way.

I really appreciate everyone who's taken time to comment-- especially the long comments, I am not kidding-- but I just wanted to say that I'm probably not going to respond to most of them. I might eventually! Right now that feels like way too much for me, plus I'm proud of the story and I want to let it speak for itself. So: if there's something you really want to talk to me about, Tumblr ask or email is the best way to get in touch.

Everyone knows that Stiles Stilinski has had a crush on Lydia Martin since the third grade.

So Fleete wrote about the idea of an Unhealthy Romance Trope Fest and something deep in my brain went ding, because I've been half-considering writing about this forever. Truly, the only thing I find can't-watch-it-triggering is dudes in romantic comedies giving big speeches to indifferent women about how they're always going to love them. (See: Love, Actually, every minute of Danny and Jordan in Studio 60, Emilio Estevez' entire plotline in St. Elmo's Fire etc. forever.) Please, please read the warnings if you find dubious consent of any kind triggering.
