Set in Stone by orphan_account // 16k // Teen

When Talia is born on January 11, 1959, no one knows about time travel. Eight years later, Talia hears whispers of wolves who get unstuck from time from the alphas who visit her family. This is why, when it happens to Derek, Peter, and Cora, she is ready.

In spite of all you knew and said by Azul_Bleu // 2.7k // Mature

The road streams behind them, mile upon mile until Stiles can’t say where they even started, and Stiles talks so he won’t have to remember.

Or, Derek and Stiles deal with being the ones left behind. They're not great at it.

(Set post an imaginary S3, where the Alphas win. Spectacularly.)

The Haunted Hotel by Vengeful_Authoress // 26.5k // Teen

Derek's job at the Beacon Hills Amusement Park was supposed to be just that, a job, but when the Haunted Hotel ride breaks down under mysterious circumstances, he gets a lot more than he bargained for, including a centuries-old witch, a ghost, and a whole lot of bad animatronics.

Bury the Moon by darthjamtart // 16.5k // Mature

First things get bad. Then they get worse. Stiles doesn’t know what he’s sacrificed until it’s too late.

Dying is the easy part.

Scars to Your Beautiful by kat_fanfic // 20.2k // Mature

When Stiles and Scott return to Beacon Hills to investigate a mysterious disappearance, the last thing Stiles expects is to fall for their prime suspect. Add to that a very unusual pack and the discovery that there is more to his strange ability to hear pack-speak than he thought, and Stiles is in for more than one surprise.

Pretty Venom (2-part series)*¹ by zanni_1 (zanni_scaramouche) // 44.8k // Explicit

Derek Hale.

A name better suited for a myth than a man. Like the name of the devil, people either whisper it in fear or laugh it off as fable.

Cut it open and this city’s heart doesn’t bleed red. It’s snowy white, and it pulses in the tight grip of Lucifer himself.

Drug Lord Derek, Dealer Stiles, and the importance of not scalding the milk.

*¹The second part has been linked because I recommend to read that first.

Amaz(on)ing Stiles by melly_diamond // 22k // General

Stiles is a worker bee in the sprawling world of Amazon, tasked with creating innovative new products and enhancing existing ones under the guidance of Lydia Martin, head of R&D. When she pushes him to create something even bigger and better than Alexa, he fumes, but obliges, creating the ultimate AI prototype. It's more than a reminder system - it's a friend.

But does it go too far?

A version is shipped to one Derek Hale, who doesn't even talk to people, let alone electronic devices, and has no use for friends. Will it change his life, or change Stiles' life, or both? Will it bring down Amazon? Will someone wind up in prison? No one knows.

Dealing with Werewolves by foolish_mortal // 2.5k // General

In which Stiles runs away to live with the dragons and meets a werewolf. An Enchanted Forest Chronicles AU.

The Theory of No Control by greenleaf // 27.9k // Mature

“–kick your scrawny butt all over the Muertes Archipelago, Bilinski! Get out of there or I will feed you to a Stegosaurus!”

“First of all, having me come out from here and then tossing me to the dinos kinda defeats the purpose of it all, since I already am in a dinosaur cage. Second, Stegosauruses are herbivores, which means they will definitely pass on biting my rear end. And third, my butt is not scrawny, though I didn’t know you were even looking, Coach. I’m flattered.”

“BILINSKI!!”

Derek groaned. “Oh no.”

“Oh, yes.” Scott grinned. He ran off, no doubt excited to watch his reckless best friend and cheer him on. He was such a damn enabler.

This Was How Legends Were Made*² by Delta_Immortal // 108k // Explicit

Caught between the Hales and the Argents in their war, Stiles finds himself a slave of the great Hale pack. Stiles spends each day working hard, hoping to earn his freedom and see his sick father. It also seems each day he’s capturing more and more attention from Derek, the young Hale lord. Stiles tells himself it’s mostly because Derek is merely trying to figure out how to send the annoying, useless slave away- not because of affection, despite the tales coming from the rumor mill.

It doesn’t matter what Derek's intentions are. Stiles can’t bother with love right now. He's got to keep his head down and survive long enough to keep his promise to Kate Argent. After all, she's promised to keep his father safe.

*²This is one of my favourite fics in the entire fandom! It’s listed as an unfinished series, but I’ve only read the first part and it does have a proper ending.

Come Sleep Always by Besin // 29.9k // Mature

Katharina’s day began with flowers and ended with a bow in her hands.

After the events of Le Bete du Gevaudan, Derek wanders in search of a safe place to live. He is lead to a cabin at the fringes of a small village, where a man has learned how to stop the transformation that wracks Derek’s body at night, transforming him into an angry, bloodthirsty wolf.

Keystone (3-part series) by Chandri // 106k // Explicit

A world without parents is a lonely, portless world with no safety and no justice - this is a truth Stiles Stilinski learned when he was very young. But at nine years old, at twelve, he couldn't understand just how true it was; that the powerful, indefinable wrongness that obscured his memories of his mother was more than a child's sense of unfairness at having his mom taken away.

It's not until a globetrotting great-aunt blows back into town after a many-years absence that it starts to dawn on him: that his mother's death was anything but natural; that it was certainly anything but fair.

Make us laugh (or nothing will) by rohkeutta // 31k // Teen

When Derek Hale left Beacon Hills at 18 to become a kickboxing champion, he thought he would never return. But here he is, seven years later: trying to salvage something from the ruins of his life, eighteen months after the house fire that killed his parents and left him limping and without a future. Enter Stiles, a college dropout Derek might or might not have been friends with in high school, and the unexpected interest he manifests towards the love of Derek’s life.

Reindeer in the (Library) Closet by Rainfallen // 3.2k // Teen

Derek just wanted to put the spare network cables away and escape from Erica, not get accosted in the storage closet by a boy wearing the most atrocious Christmas sweater he's ever seen. On second thought, though, the accosting maybe wasn't such a bad idea.

Nearly Everything Shines by maevewren // 34k // Explicit

Derek is a grumpy Park Ranger, Stiles is a daredevil rock climber. Each of them wants to escape his past, but maybe together they can find a future. Expect lots of cozy autumn feels, snark, major angst, and passion.

punitive acts by subnivean // 3.8k // Explicit

You've got me slippin’ and a slidin’ by ElisAttack // 3.6k // General

The snowmobile stutters to a halt on the banks of the river and Derek smiles when he sees a few ravens flying in circles in the distance. The salmon are here.

“Seems like I’m your lucky charm,” Stiles says with a wink.

Or the one where Derek lives in the middle of nowhere, and is probably in love with his delivery boy.

Lock Me Up by FairydustOnRoses // 3.4k // Explicit

Stiles is home for Thanksgiving break. He traveled across the country from Columbia University and is looking forward to spending time with Scott and his dad and stuffing his face on Thursday. He is not looking forward to running into a certain broody werewolf that he may or may not have left in bed after a hookup only hours before he got on the plane to New York back in August.
