Hi there, First let me say you guys are honestly some of the mist important people in the fandom for what you do so thank you for that! Do you think you guys could rec some fics where Stiles is a kid and Derek is a little older than him (like derek is a teenager and stiles is younger), but they dint get together until later in life. Extra points if Derek is Stiles' babysitter at some point. Thanks so much it means a bunch <3
<3 thank. (childhood friends coming right up)
Not the best kept Secret by bestsenpai (1/1 | 3,255 | G)
Summary: Au. Scott, Stiles, and Derek had all been friends since they were little. Growing up, Derek had worked hard to make sure the only friends he had believed he was human too. At least, he was sure they didn’t know. It was his best kept secret. Stiles and Allison had ones of their own, too.

Derek gets in an accident and loses a few years of his memory; suddenly everything is different— he's not a freshman loser anymore, but a popular senior, captain of the basketball team, a shoo-in for prom king, too, and he should have everything he's ever wanted— except he doesn't seem to be friends with Stiles anymore.

“What’s your name?” Derek asks, wiping the last of the tears off the kid’s face with his sleeve.
“’tiles,” the kid mumbles, and Derek frowns, wondering if he heard correctly.
“Stiles,” the kid repeats, pouting at Derek slightly, defiant even though his eyes are still puffy and red and his cheeks tear-stained.

Kingdom By The Sea by TheCriminal (1/1 | 4,009 | G)
Lydia grabs his arm and pulls him down in the seat next to her. “When the hell did you find time to bag a guy like Hale?”
“We’re friends,” Stiles feels his face heat up, and then the team are running out and Derek sees him and smiles. His blush gets worse.
“Our moms were friends, okay? We’ve been in diapers together.”
“I thought you two hated each other.”
