Warnings: Pining, Angsty Feelz, possessed!stiles (brief and nothing really bad happens), love spell (it was an accident and again nothing really bad happens), our boys are freaking oblivious!, brief dub-con moment (spoiler: underage succubus kisses Derek and kisses Stiles offscreen), I think that is it but give me a heads up if I missed something :) oh, and the pack gets high on far magic at a party at one point. okay, now we’re all good.

Author’s Summary: It's perfectly understandable. Even Derek wouldn't want to be Derek's soulmate.
I have read this fic four times now and I have no doubt I will go back and read it again and again and again. I don’t often find really good fics from Derek’s point of view so this one holds a special place in my heart. I’ve always been a sucker for Soulmate fics and the whole (Spoiler) Derek feeling the soulmate connection but Stiles being completely oblivious (End Spoiler) was incredibly well done. Survivah has long been one of my favorite Teen Wolf authors and I have no doubt you will see many more works by her/them/him (?) on here over time. They (still ?) have this gorgeous ability to blend realistic dialogue and emotions into their plot while sticking to believable in-character reactions! Every time I read it my heart gets bounced around my chest and all I want to do is wrap them both in blankets and snuggle them until the world is a happy place (and make them earl grey tea…read it, you’ll get it). Heart stoppingly perfect in so many ways, enjoy!
