Re: Buttons- I like to think that because everyone in TW is so worked up about 'big' threats, the little ones sneak through without being noticed by anyone. A colony of Brownies moved in decades ago, helping out quietly and nearly unnoticeably. However, instead of rearranging rooms in return, they like to cause mischief by loosening button holes, untying shoelaces, and making clothes shrink in the dryer faster. They keep it to 'style choices' or 'clumsiness' so they aren't noticed/evicted/killed
I am Suddenly and Wholly convinced that Stiles is one of these Brownies, only weirdly big with correspondingly big actions. Like instead of helping out with the sweeping, he saves everyone’s goddamn life over and over again. And instead of moving the furniture or loosening shoe laces, he steals people’s keys and shit.
HmmMmMMm but a l s o what if Stiles is a descendant of the Beacon Hills Brownies, but he has no clue? Until like, the pack has a reason to need help from some friendly fae, and they’re all ready with offerings and bribes and whatever else, but the Brownies take one look at Stiles and are like, “Oh hey, you’re my third cousin twice removed. Yeah, we gotchu fam.”
And all the bitten wolves look at Stiles like ????
And Stiles looks back like ????!!?!!????!!!
And Peter is like, “I thought we just weren’t talking about it. He clearly smells like fae, and literally who else is that pale?”
“Why on e a r t h would I not talk about being a fucking Brownie?!” Stiles wants to know. “That’s tight as shit!”
Peter shrugs exasperatedly.
“I don’t know! Family can be weird!! I have a republican uncle I don’t talk about!!”
Anyway, it turns out Stiles can actually be stealthy as fuck once he taps into the Brownie part of his heritage, and the pack never knows peace again, the end.
