I see you mentioned taking requests for System on your last fic! Let me just say you're on of my favorite authors, love your DC stuff, so really happy you're writing the boys. Handful of requests if any catch your fancy... Anything genderswap because I love f/f Sterek but if that's not your cup of tea, superhero AU or anything where Stiles utilizes magic? AU or pack emmisary, anything is cool. Really would love to see anything new from you :)
I just want to say…this message is so sweet and I love it. I’m just going to write something here and hope it turns out for the best. (Aiming for F/F+magic, but feel free to ask for any of those things again.)
Okay! ~500 words.
Stiles had never felt particularly powerful, but when her asthmatic best friend Scott becomes a werewolf and loses all of his health problems, she starts feeling particularly powerless.
Then, they see Derek and Derek is also strong and cool and beautiful and, of course, a werewolf.
Okay. Stiles digs that.
And then there are more werewolves. And hunters. And banshees. And…
Well, Stiles really starts to wonder when her break is going to come. She thinks for a minute that she has something–Scott’s mysterious boss Deaton tells her to be the spark and, you know what? She is! She does it!
It’s awesome.
But then there’s a whole lot of nothing for Stiles. Until she becomes way too powerful in a way that makes her totally powerless at the same time.
It’s horrible.
So Stiles relegates herself to being the boring, powerless human because it’s much safer than wishing for power.
And maybe that’s why she finally gets it.
Derek is back and Derek is worried about her and maybe that’s why Derek says, “You were my anchor when I needed something to keep me sane. I dreamt about you.”
Stiles blinks back the tears that she had been shedding to stare at the woman before her. Because Stiles still considers herself a girl and Derek is certainly not that. “What?”
“I trust you, Stiles,” she says.
And then she touches Stiles’s hand and Stiles feels that spark again. Not like the foxfire that ignited the nogitsune, but the spark like she’d had with the mountain ash.
The spark like magic in her blood that gives her life, not the fire that threatened to consume her.
Her heart rate must spike because Derek pulls her hand back and Stiles can still feel that something that pulses beneath the surface and she chases it.
She leans forward and kisses Derek because it’s fading and maybe if she just–
Stiles ignites.
With a press of her lips to Derek’s, her whole being thrums with that energy and she thinks Derek can feel it, too. Because Derek, hot badass werewolf Derek, is kissing her back.
Derek takes Stiles’s hand and presses it to her chest, over her heart, and Stiles thinks she gets what Derek is trying to do but she’s also thinking about the fact that Derek Hale’s perfect breasts are right there and–she’s seventeen, okay? She can’t help but multitask.
But she can feel the other thing: Derek’s heart beating fast under her palm. And it’s like she can sense Derek’s whole being, surrounded in this aura that she can’t explain.
She pulls back, asks despite her certainty, “Did you feel that?”
Derek laughs. “Yeah, Stiles.” She’s looking at Stiles like Stiles is being an idiot, so Stiles looks down.
She’s… She’s glowing.
“You may be skinny,” Derek says, teasing, “but I don’t think you’re defenseless now. Not anymore.”
“Pfft.” Stiles grins. “Not like I didn’t save your ass every other day anyway.”
Derek raises her eyebrow and Stiles kisses her again before she can change her mind.
