Sweet Vinegar by Julibean19

"By design, the cottage only had room for one. That should have been enough of a hint. He wanted to be left alone. He needed to be left alone. It was imperative that the Betas stay far away from him, for their own safety. And Stiles… Stiles needed to stay away more than anyone else. The man was so fragile compared to the others. Derek knew Stiles would punch him for ever suggesting it, but he was so terribly nervous whenever Stiles was around. One little slip. That’s all it would take. With the flick of a claw, Derek could end the human’s life for good. His bright, spectacular light would be snuffed out, just like that, never to shine again. Derek couldn’t stand to let that happen. Stiles was good. Derek ruined everything he touched. There was no room in his life for good things."

After the events of season 3a, Derek becomes a recluse, locking himself away from the pack. Suffering from severe PTSD, Derek attempts to cope with his symptoms alone. He refuses to let anyone in, until a certain someone comes along.

falling for the weirdo by wazzzup

Teen | 44k | 37/37

Basically, I felt that Stiles' ADHD was used as a source for jokes and I wanted a fanfic that was a more accurate representation of a neurodivergent person. (written by someone with ADHD as well as a few other disorders)

Story: Derek stays with Stiles when the alpha pack is in town to protect the pack human, but also because he thinks Stiles is lying to them about something cause the teen acts super distant around them.

Stiles is freaking out because he's going to be living with Derek and be around the man all the time and can't mask his 'weird' behaviors and many disorders that he's managed to keep secret from the pack.

Safe Spaces by MeowMeowBilly

I tagged it as underage because the time between Stiles and Derek when Stiles is underage is mentioned, although nothing sexual or really romantic happens, just Derek being a good friend. I tagged it anyways, just in case some people don't want to read that.

Stiles Stilinski has ADHD; because of this ADHD he stims, he only feels safe displaying his more obvious stims around certain people. The number one person on that list of certain people is Derek Hale. Based on this tweet by me: https://twitter.com/RayTotoro/status/1429289834456223748?s=20

My Soul to Keep by jacyevans, Jmeelee

Stiles came with a whiteboard, and blue dry erase marker, flapping it over his head like a white flag on a battlefield.

"Come on," he coaxed. "You must want to say something. You've never gone this long without telling me to shut up." He waggled the marker in Derek's face. Stinging alcohol and pungent polymer singed Derek's nose hairs.

His fingers itched to pick up the board, and not because he wanted to tell Stiles to be quiet. He enjoyed the babble that filled the apartment every few days, the hearty food, Stiles' particular, reassuring smell: maple sugar buzz, spicy-sweet deodorant, milk-sour frustration, floral shampoo, and spring grass at night. It soaked into Derek's couch, his bed, his skull.

If any of it were real, Derek would take the board and write: thank you.

Witness Protection by ItsMe_Basil (orphan_account)

When Derek Hale was new to the force, a case stumbles into his lap in the form of a thirteen year old boy with enough Cocaine on him to open an operation in Beacon Hills.

It turns into the biggest drug sting the county has ever seen, and with the kid's help, Derek and his team takes down a known drug lord named Deucalion. With the man behind bars, the kid is forced into witness protection, and Derek never hears from him again.

That is until five years later, when Stiles' handler is murdered and Stiles disappears.

Derek and Stiles are secretly dating. It's fun and hot and great.. until Stiles gets into a car crash and doesn't remember their secret when he wakes up.

Suffering from PTSD, ex-Marine Derek Hale moves back to Beacon Hills to open a bookshop and find a calmer life. That’s where he meets Stiles, completely by accident. Stiles is talkative, charming and curious. Somehow, despite the fact that he’s blind, he’s able to read Derek like no one else.

Love is Like a Curveball by raimykeller, RxSterek

Stiles Stilinski, a young pitcher who's finally made it to the big leagues and settling into his spot as a relief pitcher, and feels like he's finally being seen as the pitcher he is, instead of a liability or his PTSD, had his world turned upside down when he's released via Designated for Assignment. But his world is turned around with one call when his dream team calls, wanting him to fill in their spot as a starting pitcher. Now he just has to prove he has what it takes to be a starting pitcher, along with his little shadow, Beastie Boy.

Derek Hale, back up catcher for the Mets, had a breakout season when the Mets starting catcher was out on an injury. He knows the other catcher has been working hard to rehab and get himself back to playing condition for the upcoming season and come back. Derek knows he could wait out his contract that's almost out and make a move that would be better for his career. But he likes the team and it's always been his dream to play for the Mets, to play for his home city.

Two players, working for their dreams, what happens when their worlds collide? Can they find their dreams?
