Hi :) you just found this fic 'A neutrino walks through a bar' by moku and I was wondering if you know any similiar stuff? Because the story was sooo good ❤ like not necessarily with the matchmaking, but with how Stiles thinks Derek is super grumpy in the beginning and the falling for him bc of all his quirks? And Stiles being friends with Cora all the while? Maybe even meeting him because of her? Thanks so much already!
Here are some grumpy!Derek fics.
Flowerwolf & Beacon Roots by alisvolatpropiis | 5.2K | Explicit
Derek tries not to show his surprise, curiously hopeful, but still suspicious of Laura’s involvement. “Oh. How do you know my coffee order then?”
He grins. “The cute baristo knows your order, dude. All I had to do was ask for Grumpy Flower Guy’s usual.”
Derek huffs. “I’m not grumpy.”
“He says grumpily,” Stiles smirks, winking.

Stiles has always felt pretty lucky about his soul mark. After all, how many conversations tend to start with “This is private property”?
(Apparently more than you'd think.)
Ovens Are Not Murder Machines by Farscapegeek | 5.7K
In which Derek is a grumpy food critic that just wants to go run his co-op in peace. On a forced leave from work he mets the captivating coffee shop owner Stiles who makes him actually want to write again.
“Oh for the love of god can we please order?” Boyd interrupts. Derek blushes at that and realizes he had completely forgot about his beta next to him.
“Sorry. Um your sumatran please. And he squints at the name of a pastry. “Are those donuts? Paczki?” He asks surely slaughtering the pronunciation.
“Close enough. Paczki, polish donuts,” says Stiles rocking back and forth on his heels. “We have an Oregon huckleberry filling if you want to try one? I’m fresh out of the kale tarts with carrot remoulade, but I can try and hold one for you next time. I mean hopefully there will be a next time. If you like my stuff that is.”

Derek takes a deep breath before he looks up. "I was going to Jungle to pick up a guy."
"Huh." Stiles taps his fingers against his bottom lip. They come away red; there's already lipstick on his teeth. "You know, there's an app for that. Grindr. You're—I bet you could just get guys to come over, like pizza delivery."
"I don't like pizza," Derek says.

“What are you trying to do?” Lydia asks finally.
“Fix Derek,” Stiles says, not bothering to dissemble – Lydia's been lied to enough. “You know, before someone or something else tries to use him.”

Sighing, Stiles reaches for Derek’s big hands, cradled in his broad lap, his skin lighting up even more at Derek's touch. He takes a deep breath and closes his eyes, preparing himself to look for Derek’s soulmate. Whoever you are, he thinks, you better be worth him.
How to Woo a Wolf by dontlietomehoney | 6.6K
“What would you call it,” Derek asked.
Stiles sighed, running a hand over his face and wishing he had never gone after that damn omega because then he might have been able to avoid this conversation. He might have been able to avoid Derek altogether after what the wolf had said to him, and just let his feelings for Derek fade on their own. But he had, he had gone after that mangy mutt of a werewolf and taken it down to prove himself worthy of the pack of Derek because he had been… Stiles whined.
“Wooing, okay? I’d call it wooing you, Derek Hale.”
