Mother’s Day Out by FlutterFyre (G, 1.1k)

Major Archive Warnings: None Apply

It's Mother's Day and the pack all want to say thank you to Stiles for being there for them, only Stiles doesn't understand what is going on...

This was a cute little guy. I love pack mom Stiles fics, especially when the pack loves Stiles enough to do nice stuff for him! Happy fluff day!

I Have Children And I Didn’t Even Know It by thepackwantsthed (G, 3.3k)

“Holy shit,” Stiles shouted, sitting up and staring at Derek as the Alpha shimmed out of his jeans. “I’m their fucking mom aren’t I?”

I fucking love pack mom!Stiles. The relationship Stiles has with each of the pack members is great. The way he babies Isaac to the point that Isaac tackles him when he comes home? Oh, my heart hurts. I love it. I love it a lot. Kinda odd that Matt was invited into the pack in this one, but I dig it in like a “world where everyone gets along and no one dies and everything is sunshine and rainbows” sort of way, you know? Idk. Just read it; it’s good.

The Undisclosed by Taila_Tai (109.4k, M)

For once the pack doesn't panic when a new hunter arrives. The gleefully sadistic man has labelled himself a collector of all things rare in the supernatural world and wants one of the rarest creatures; a werefox. Content that the pack is safe, the wolves focus on why their human member is acting so strange, ignoring the fact that Stiles only started once learning who the man wanted...

I really enjoy supernatural Stiles fics, and I absolutely adored the pack dynamics of this fic. The slow build of the Sterek and the constant looming of the hunter was great. I really enjoyed Stiles’ rational for keeping his secret from the pack because it’s so real. Overall, this was super well written, and I just loved it all.

I Lost My Way And Found You by NekoIzumi (E, 19.1k)

Derek hurried down the street, occasionally glancing over his shoulder to make sure he wasn’t followed, but otherwise was completely focused on where he was going and not running into anyone while getting there. He was so close, oh so very close now, and he knew that just a few more minutes and he'd see him again. Him, the one he hadn’t seen in years and now… so close!

He pushed the heavy front door open hurrying inside the foyer, absentmindedly registering magic buzzing around him as he did so. Knowing what to look for he saw his wards everywhere, tiny tiny marks, runes, symbols carved and written where he knew no one would look for them and Derek made sure to touch them all, to let the wards know he wasn’t there to harm. The magic accepted his presence, greeted him even but was still wary and ready to zap him to the Himalayas in the blink of an eye should it be needed. The wolf wasn’t worried, he was much too focused on the elevator making its way higher and why the hell did it move so slowly!? When he was finally on the right floor, high up above the noisy city outside, he rushed up to the right door and-… hesitated.

This fic hit all of my buttons. Honestly. We got Emissary Stiles. We got Alpha Derek. We got Bad Scott (sorry Scott lovers, it’s one of my favorite tropes). We got healing Derek. Seriously, it’s fan-freaking-tastic. I love Stiles and Derek’s relationship in this, and I love how the author handled the old characters with the original characters they introduced. I’ll probably end up rereading this at some point soon.

The One Where Derek Loves Disney by tabbytabbytabby (G, 2.1k)

Derek likes to pretend he doesn't like Disney but he secretly loves it. Stiles notices and starts requesting Disney movies every pack night and plans a trip to Disney World for the pack, and of course Derek.

Some light and stinking cute Sterek for you all today. It even ends in fireworks. Nice.

(Sacred) In The Ordinary by idyll (E, 78.8k)

The Pack, after college, graduate school and the starting of careers, comes back to Beacon Hills. Nothing's gotten less complicated after all this time.

Based on a kink meme prompt that grew legs and got serious.

Note: This is a whole lot of pack!fic with a very slow build Derek/Stiles.

Also known as the one where the pack takes over the world... Or at least Beacon Hills. This was great because it’s pack fic with all of the players that we know and love: Lydia, Jackson, Danny, Allison, Stiles, Scott, and Derek. This was one hell of an experience and 100% something I’ll read again.

Sharing Food by aussiebee (E, 9.6k)

"Sharing food with another human being is an intimate act that should not be indulged in lightly." ― M.F.K. Fisher

Or

Derek is pretty much absorbed into the Stilinski family, one meal at a time.

Happy Derek/healing Derek is probably one of my favorite tropes. Especially if it’s kickstarted by Stiles loving him so unconditionally that he starts loving himself. I love the Sheriff’s and Derek’s relationship in this. This fic is so pure and nice and really reminds you how much Derek deserves nice things.
