Autumn is finally here where I live, so it gives me even more of an excuse to stay inside and read! This last week I took a break from checking more fics off of my ‘to-read’ list and read some published stuff instead. So here are the links to those books, with the regular fic recs underneath. Hope everyone has a nice weekend!
Seven Tears At High Tide by C.B. Lee
Kevin Luong walks to the ocean’s edge with a broken heart. Remembering a legend his mother told him, he lets seven tears fall into the sea. “I just want one summer—one summer to be happy and in love.”
Instead, he finds himself saving a mysterious boy from the Pacific—a boy who later shows up on his doorstep professing his love. What he doesn’t know is that Morgan is a selkie, drawn to answer Kevin’s wish.
As they grow close, Morgan is caught between the dangers of the human world and his legacy in the selkie community to which he must return at summer’s end.

Something There Is by skoosiepants | 6.2K | T | Derek/Stiles
There’s a solid wooden fence surrounding the backyard; a moderately-sized, flat piece of square land. Instead of grass, a flagstone path winds in between wild, tangled gardens, knock-out roses, towering crape myrtles, foxglove, bluebeard, hydrangea, overgrown ornamental grasses—weeds and wildflowers fill in all the spaces in between, and Stiles doesn’t plan on doing a single thing about any of them. The yard is fantastic. It’s wonderful. He can’t wait to strip out of his skin and make a burrow.
Stiles is a werebunny & Derek is his grumpy werewolf neighbor
Assistant to the Consulting Detectives by idyll | 18.6K | T | Derek/Stiles

Love And Peace Or Else by suchfun | 23.3K | M | Derek/Stiles
"I met a guy, we had a thing, and now he's stalking me. Wow, wasn't that a sweet fairy tale for the ages, now we can all sleep happily." Declan gets up, tries to push past Derek to get to the door, but Derek shoves him back down.
"Who was he?" he pretty much growls. "If he was an—"
"He's an alpha in training," Declan says, a combination of like fifty percent gleeful, forty percent smug and the tiniest percent contrite. From the way it seems to be directed at Derek, their relationship is even more messed up than Stiles thought. "Son of the Wirth pack Alpha."
"The New York Wirth pack. The pack that took Laura and me in after our family— after the fire." Derek clenches his jaw. "Their alpha was an ally!"
"I'd say... not anymore?" he replies lazily.
Okay, fuck this guy, seriously. "Wow," Stiles says. "Even though I know that's all front, because yeah, hi, like ultimate bluffer sitting right before you," he gestures to himself, "I still think you're a giant douchebag."
Criminal Minds!AU by illusemywords | 55.1K | Works: 2 M | Derek/Stiles

Present by reillyblack | 63.5K | E | Derek/Stiles
When Stiles's best friend Scott presented as a werewolf, it was just the worst. It was front-page news, there were reporters outside his house asking him questions, and people at school stared and kept their distance or interrogated him mercilessly. Worst by far was that it meant Scott had to leave immediately to live with the werewolf pack in the mountains -- which no one knew anything about. Stiles couldn't even visit, so he only got to see Scott once a month when he came back to visit his mom. It sucked.
A year later, he presents too.
