Derek Hale Appreciation Week Day 6: Happiness --- File 427746377: Derek Hale
After everything that has happened, Derek doesn’t do feelings. He knows he is meant to be alone forever. Why else would he be without a pack or mate or anything slightly resembling peace? He’s ok with it though. Why try and force something that just isn’t meant to be. Derek Hale will now and forever be a lone wolf.
One morning Derek is startled awake when he finds a very familiar face staring at him. After finally being convinced she is real, Erica explains her reasons for haunting Derek’s loft. She has a mission to complete, helping Derek to find his supposed ‘happiness’. He just wasn’t prepared for all the fluorescent signs and coloured graffiti and chaotic energy that is Erica: The Guardian Angel.
Derek: Tell me again why you’re here?
Erica: Look, heaven can have moments of boring and while I love having all the time in the world to explore every inch of Boyd. I needed something else. So, they gave me their most difficult client.
Derek: Me? You’re meant to be my guardian angel?
Erica: Oh, aren’t you so lucky! I’m here to stay until you remember how to love yourself as well as recognize the love others have you too, like Stiles.
Erica: Man, I really have my work cut out for me
Sooo I’m actually working on this as a full fic and without the context some of these images for the moodboard don’t 100% make sense. But I still wanted to put something together. I am currently on the Derek x Erica friendship train and not looking like hopping off anytime soon. This fic was meant to be cute and funny (and I’m still hoping to have moments) but it has since moved into territory of feels with Erica helping Derek to realise he does deserve happiness. Stay tuned for whenever I get to actually finish it! Thanks as always to @softranswolves for creating this event.
