Poker Face by tanwencooper (wordcount: 43,019)
Is there any punishment in the world worse than parent-teacher night? History teacher Derek Hale doesn’t think so. That’s until he meets the guardian of one of his more troubled young students. Stiles Stilinski has been left to look after his adopted brother Isaac after tragedy stuck their family and Derek is determined to help them if he can. However after Stiles and Derek’s paths repeatedly cross, Derek’s concern soon turns to something deeper. Soon the pair begin the game of attraction. The only problem is neither one of them knows the rules, and both wear their poker face too well for their own good.
Rule 2: Answer the questions the person who tagged you has written and write 11 new ones
Rule 3: Tag 11 new people and link them to your post (11?! HECK NO. It's called 11 questions, not 11 people!)
Rule 4: Let them know you’ve tagged them!
Answering questions under the cut
1 - If there was a fandom newspaper - what would be your OTP’s headline? Aaargh, I have far too many OTPs for this question! Umm...for the Merlin fandom: Long Live the Queen! Arthur Pendragon and Manservant More Than Friends?
2 - Who is your current celebrity crush? Tyler Hoechlin. Didn't even need to think about that one.
3 - What is your favourite eye colour? Dark brown.
4 - Do you have a favourite piece of furniture, if so, which one? Bed! I spend most of my life in it.
5 - If you could take one skill from a video game, what would it be? Do restart points count?
6 - Who is your current favourite Comic/Manga character? Why? Nightwing. Because he's snarky, pretty, has a tragic past, is flexible as fuck, has been canonically accepted as a lynchpin in the (pre-reboot) DC Universe, is the character who's come closest to understanding Batman and is generally all around awesome. I'll stop there, but I could go on.
7 - You meet your OTP, you have 10 words and 10 words only. What do you say? Again, far too many OTPs for this question. I don't have ships, I have an armada! Teen Wolf's Sterek: Stiles, go shag the manpain out of the angsty werewolf.
8 - If you could print one thing on a T-shirt, what would it be? An eight-box grid with my favourite OTPs in it - Sterek, Johnlock, Merthur, Stony, 00Q, Janto, McShep and Cherik.
9 - Pick a new name for yourself, something normal, something awesome, just something you’ve always wanted to be called. Genuinely no clue. I've never wanted to be called anything else.
10 - What is the one thing it is never okay (See: Death for all BBC fans) to bring up with you about your fandom? Think the answer's in the question. I've lost far too many of my British OTPs to death or time displacement in the last few years. Bring that up and risk me ranting/crying.
11 - You can take the place of any character in any show/book/movie/game. Who would you swap places with? I'd love to say Watson, but I'm pretty sure Holmes would be bored of me in two seconds flat. So I'm going to say River Song, as I could do a far better job. And be far less annoying.
And now for the questions:
1 - If you made a New Year's resolution, what was it?
2 - If all TV and film (past and present) was wiped from existence tomorrow, what show/film would you save and why?
3 - Is there a pairing that just made you go 'NO' when you first came across it?
4 - You're on a bus and Sir Patrick Stewart sits down next to you. What do you do?
5 - Is there a celebrity or 'celebrity' you'd like to wipe from the face of the Earth?
6 - Which Bond is the best?
7 - Are there any pairings (or shows, if you don't ship people) that you're ashamed to support?
8 - You're in a zombie apocalypse and you've just been bitten. Do you, a) tell your friends to leave you as a zombie distraction and get torn apart; b) force your friends to take you with them, even though you may turn at any moment; c) tackle your friends to the ground - if you're going down, so are they.
9 - If you could change one thing (an event, a character, part of the premise etc.) about your top fandom, what would it be?
10 - What character (from any medium) do you most want to be like, and why?
11 - What was the last book you read? Would you recommend it?

This is so funny! Perfect Christmas hilarity when a spell goes wrong.
