Hoping for help finding a lost fic! I've been looking for DAYS 😅

Sterek, human AU. They're married, but unhappily so. It starts out with Stiles being hurt on the job and Derek getting the call at the big law firm he's working at. Stiles is surprised to see him come visit because their relationship is kind of on the rocks. Derek chooses work over Stiles to the point where stiles is sleeping in the guest room of their house and has thrown away the adoption pamphlet papers they once considered. They go to the therapy and it all ends up happy in the end, but not without some work on both their parts!

Thanks in advance, I really love this fic but can't find it anywhere!

AND

does anyone know the fic where derek and stiles are married but derek kinda sucks as a husband (at least in the beginning)? derek has a really demanding job and he’s been neglecting stiles - to the point that derek’s coworkers don’t know he’s even married. stiles may bring up some divorce papers or something and that finally kicks derek into “oh crap he’s gonna leave me, i need to fix this” mode? i’m almost positive it ends happily. thank you so much!

I know this one, @beltiel and anon! So much delicious angst.

Derek and Stiles have been married for six years. Derek loves his job as a successful lawyer, loves his financial security and his large house. It isn’t until Stiles gets shot while working that he starts to understand that maybe Stiles isn’t loving their life as much as Derek is.

Aberration

Fandom: Teen Wolf

Relationships: Sterek + others and pack dynamics and family dynamics 

Characters: Stiles Stilinski, Derek Hale, Alive Hale Pack, Scott McCall, Sheriff Stilinski, 

Summary:  Derek is a hot-shot lawyer who is very focused on his work. Stiles is his loving husband who does his best to fit into Derek's high-class family. He's hit some major roadblocks though. He feels neglected and unloved, and worse when Derek ditches him at his own family's parties which leave him humiliated as he tries to appear like their marriage isn't failing.

As an old member comes during some important werewolf ceremony to stir the pot, Derek's relationship with his family and Stiles is tested more than ever. Derek's world has been rocked and turned upside down.

And Stiles? Stiles is trying to find out who he is in the absence of the one he loves. As much as he believes in Derek and in their relationship, Stiles needs to find his self-worth that got lost along the way. Remember the fire he had inside of him as he got in the face of those that looked down at him, the fierceness of his intelligence that made others fear and respect him. Remember how fun life was...

Derek and Stiles drift a bit as Derek realizes he has to woo Stiles again, because he will not risk losing the love of his life. Not again.

Head Cases and Questionable Characters by green-leaf (greenleaf) | 18.3K

Working for Argent & Hale, one of the most prestigious legal firms in the country, was always eventful to say the least. It was a big headache a lot of the times, sure, and a pain in the ass in most, but for Stiles Stilinski, it was a dream come true. He adored his colleagues, was paid a boatload of money, and everybody knew that he was damn good at his job.

Large Vanilla Latte by Areiton | 1.4K

The bell over the door clatters a cheerfully annoying welcome, and Stiles smiles as the man he’s going to marry strides up to the counter.

Double Negatives by i_am_girlfriday | 31K

Derek is a high powered lawyer, and a born and bred Upper East Sider. Stiles is a broke actor who’s grateful to land a full time job as Derek’s newest assistant. Their working relationship is one hundred percent professional…except for when it’s not.

And It Burns, The Ring of Fire by forestofbabel | 24.3K

Derek, at first, only had eyes for his sister, checking her over, ignoring her reassurances that she was never even near the flames. Then his eyes caught sight of Stiles and every heavily built muscle in his body froze, almost like someone pressed the pause button. Laura and Erica looked between the two men, confused by the sudden stillness in the air.

“Stiles,” Derek bit out, a polite but curt greeting.

“You two know each other?” Laura asked.

Learning Curve by dragon_temeraire | 1.4K

Stiles likes being Cora’s roommate, but he’s pretty sure her brother is hitting on him.

Sunday Six

I actually have two things I’m working on right now, amazingly.  One fic is all written but will be posted in August, since it’s a bonus fic for art by the amazing @artonixart that was produced as part of the Sterek Reversebang 2018 and I won’t post it until the official SRB is all finished (it’s actually 7 sentences but I couldn’t leave you hanging):

_______________

Derek groaned.  There was no avoiding it now.

He lifted his head, rubbing a palm over his face.  He swallowed past the lump in his throat, hoping to get this over with quickly.  

“Remember when I thought I was in love with Kate, and she turned out to be a murderous hunter who killed most of my family and blinded me in the process?”

Erica’s voice was cautious.  “Derek — what the fuck — of course I remember, how could you even ask? —”

“Well, my mate is worse,” Derek said flatly.

_______________

And here’s a totally self-indulgent historical a/b/o marriage-of-convenience fic I’ve been writing in my head when I can’t sleep.  Also seven sentences instead of six, because apparently that’s how I roll:

_______________

“Derek.”  Deaton’s voice was steady, implacable, above the frantic pounding of Derek’s heart.  “You have to face this.  If rumors of Peter’s incapacity have reached the town already, it’s only a matter of time until the Argents —”

“I know,” Derek ground out.  He swallowed, his throat dry and tight.  “What are you suggesting?”

“You must marry, and soon,” Deaton said.

Last Chance Lost Fic

Stiles and his dad go to a bar a day each week to watch a game together. The guys at the station know not to bother the sheriff on that particular night. But then one night the sheriff doesn’t meet stiles there because he made other plans. I think it was either Stiles/Derek or Stiles/Peter.

@fandomrulesmylife found this one! You all are amazing.

Stiles hadn't realized he had competence kink until he was sitting in the witness box and Derek Hale was questioning him.

Do you know any lawyer Derek fics? I'm into that trope a lot recently

So there is a method I use to create fic lists and it mostly goes like this: shit, shit, shit what WAS the name of that fic!?!?! At which time I then proceed to google fu my way through 1500 different phases attempting to find said fic. On really special days it takes a thesaurus: lawyer, attorney, prosecutor, defender?? Wait that’s it!!!!! JFC, my life is ridiculous 😂

Under Development by dr_girlfriend | 24.7K

Environmental lawyer Derek Hale is determined to stop the planned defacement of his beloved Beacon Hills Preserve by the mammoth Starr Development company. To do so, he makes a deal with the devil himself — Stiles Starr, the brash young scion of the Starr family and COO of Starr Development. Derek hates Stiles at first sight. Mieczysław Stilinski, on the other hand, is someone that Derek could grow to like…or even love.

Until You Mean It by matildajones | 24.4K

The whole town believes that Derek’s client is guilty of murder, including Stiles, the man he spent one glittering evening with. As their lives tangle painfully together, Derek can’t deny the pull he feels towards Stiles, even though he knows the only way this can end is with heartbreak.

It’s really Derek’s luck, though, to start developing a crush on someone who apparently hates him.

Hey Guys! I love your blog. I've been looking all over for a fic where Stiles and Derek are having problems and are going to therapy and the only thing I remember is that Stiles gives Derek road head and they get into a fight over that. That's all I remember besides loving that fic! Please help me!
