+ Stiles helping her rise to power in the Supernatural underground. I imagine they both taught each other how to survive when they were still on the streets as teenagers. Lydia slowly building up a network of informants and spies, taking back the night from people who wanted to use them. Lydia and Stiles destroying their enemies from the inside out.

Lydia also having a dark past (running away herself to new york from the mental institution her parents locked her in as a child) i keep having this headcanon of them both running from something after some deal falling through, laughing so hard their lungs burn, “I can’t believe he thought you’d agree to be his child bride, fucking hell.” “No no no Stiles, he wanted you to be his child bribe. He literally would not shut up about your mouth.”

“Shit, I really need to work on my Wyvern.”

LETS TAKE A LEFT TURN AND TALK ABOUT LYDIA IN THIS VERSE. Bc she's my babe. Lydia being that person in the underground that has her fingers in all the different pies so to speak. She's the one who always knows what's going on. She and Stiles have been friends for a long time, (maybe they met when Stiles first came to New York and had no idea how the world worked) sometimes Stiles gives her info on people and vice versa. Lydia holding court in a supe nightclub like the queen she is.

BANSHEE QUEEN LYDIA 4 LIFEShe’s the one who taught Stiles that he needs to pushes his magic out, “You need to find someone you trust. You’re basically giving a part of yourself and no it can’t be me,” She huffs, “our magics don’t mix.” Took a frightened teenager get his tattoos, “They’re a warning. In this city you need a little intimidation.” The one he goes to before Derek, sometimes after still. When nightmares of piercing spelled knives and a haunting green preserve wake him up screaming. “She won’t hurt you ever again Stiles. I swear it to the Mother Goddess, I’ll scream for her death myself before she even gets close.”

EXCEPT NOW IM THINKING HORRIBLE THINGS like Stiles fucking people to get information and walking back smelling like wolf and blood and Derek getting overprotective and Stiles shoving him against a wall and saying 'Did you forget this is just a fucking transaction, Derek. That's all we are. I'm not yours and if you can't handle that then you need to leave.' Derek flinching back like he's been struck 'Stiles I-' 'Just go!' and Stiles waits until he's gone before sliding to the ground and sobbing

OH OH OH!!!

“Stiles I just want to- ”

“What, save me? This isn’t some goddamn fairytale Derek, you can’t save me from the evil witch, I am the evil witch!”

“Stiles, how long has it been since you-”

“Since I what, Lydia? Since I got my magic fucked out of me by strangers? Which is always what I wanted to do with the rest of my life, by the way. But hey, at least it beats the alternative of levelling a few a buildings or killing a bunch of people right?”

“Because that’s all my magic is good for now.”

“You don’t fucking get it Lyds, it wasn’t suppose to be this way. My Mom was suppose to teach me but after she died I just.. I fucked around with shit I shouldn’t have. There’s no fixing this and now Derek, always Derek.”
