ALRIGHT GUYS I GUESS IT'S TIME TO TALK ABOUT GENTLE DEREK AGAIN!! COME INTO MY ASK, LOVES!

[shipsanddip]

I absolutely love how people are insisting it's in Derek's character to be this macho dudebro and that soft!Derek or gentle!Derek is somehow emasculating him

Do you know what canon Derek does in his off time? He falls asleep on his couch reading a book

like this old fart isn't even passing out in front of Game of Thrones like a normal adult, a book is excitement enough to knock him right out

your fic is really cool and all

but have you considered gentle!derek?

[blamethewolf]

Stiles being hurt or having a bunch of nightmares lately and his favorite werewolf slips into gentle!Derek mode to take care of him and stick around closely. Asking Stiles for every little thing. "Can I sit next to you?", "Are you okay?", "Can I touch you?", "Do you want to eat something?". Stiles melts at this cautiousness and carefulness and can't even be angry with Derek for acting like a mother hen.

Imagine this: Derek Hale, tending a windowsill garden. Watering little pots of plants. Singing to them. Taking pictures of them when they sprout. imagine.

Teen Wolf AU where Hoechlin gets to play Derek a bit closer to the chest and starts smiling more and complimenting people and patting them on the back and laughing at dumb jokes and helping Scott learn werewolf 101 while Scott teaches him to be a better person and asking Lydia to explain the theory of relativity to him because he never quite understood and apologizing to Allison and her father about the feud their families have had and bringing them a carrot cake every week for dinner to mend ties and Kira comes over to his loft sometimes to watch game of thrones with him because she loves it and he had never seen it so now they're rewatching the whole series together in their pajamas and he goes to Boyd and Erica's graves with Isaac sometimes to just talk with them about how everything has been going and maybe he even donates a bunch of his money to build a home for runaway teenagers and names it after them and volunteers there a lot but never tells anyone who he really is just because he wants to be anonymous but even so he's their favorite helper and gets big smiles everytime he comes in to make food for the homeless teens or play games with them or just sit them down to talk about whats going on in their lives and best of all best of all  he starts to tell Stiles more and more about how great he is and how much he means to him and to everyone and finally have a moment to tell him that he wishes, sometimes, he could be like him and just hugs him that would be great wouldn't it?

when people theorize that since Derek's arc is "over" and he doesn't have a use in the show he'll be the one to die
