Hi. I'm cuddled up and not feeling well. I wanted to read this fic where Stiles is a professional cuddler or something and he gets hired to work with Derek who kind of has an aversion to touch after Kate. Please help and thank youuuuu!

Hey @thealternativesource @inkandblade thinks it could be either of these fics!

“Dude, did you know that Derek’s into dudes?” Scott asks the question as he shoves a folded piece of meat lover’s pizza in his mouth, last few words turning to mumbled mush.

Stiles tells himself that’s why he has to ask him to repeat it twice, even though Scott-talking-with-his-mouth-full is practically his second language, mastered when they were first graders, along with Scott-needs-to-use-his-puppy-eyes-now-because-words-are-hard-for-him-sometimes and Scott-talking-while-trying-to-pretend-he’s-not-having-an-asthma-attack (now a dead language thanks to the vigorous application of werewolfdom).

@thealternativesource  no thanks sweaty i love myself too much to hang out with u, where u wanna meet up tho?

[wheredidhiseyebrowsgo]

Hiya my dears. First off, hope you're having a wonderful day. Second, I need your magical fic finding help! All I remember is that Derek suddenly appears at Stiles dorm w/ his baby. Stiles has been separated from the pack for a while but Derek trusts Stiles w/ his kid. Stiles hesitantly agrees cuz there's danger in BH that Derek needs to take care of. Derek leaves. Stiles cares for the kid, bolts when he thinks baddies have trace on him & baby. (Not sure on last detail.) Thank you!

We got two fics it might be! Our followers are the best detectives. - Anastasia

“Goddamn it,” Derek said, the flat of his hand slamming against the wall. “He’s the only one I trust to do this.”

Scott looked at him from where he was sitting, arms on his knees. The look on his face said he understood far too well.

“You have eight hours,” Scott said softly. “We'll have everyone we need by then.”

Derek nodded, then reached into the crib and picked up his son. “I’ll be here. I will be at your back.”

Scott looked at Derek and his son. “Stiles will keep him safe.”

Derek looked down at his son and then looked up. “Call Lydia. He shouldn’t be alone.”

Scott watched as Derek carefully put his son in warm clothing.

“You don’t have to come back,” Scott said. “Stay with him. Protect them.”

Derek hesitated for a minute and then closed his eyes. “I'll be at your back, so he will have something to come home to.”

Raised by Wolves and Other Beasts by TroubleIWant

(1/1 I 21,236 I Mature I Sterek)

Stiles is 26, single, and unencumbered with any responsibilities. Until his past starts catching up to him, anyways.

-

Derek is standing at Jason’s reception desk, looking the same as he does in Stiles’ dreams except that he’s breathtakingly real, from the two-day stubble to the jewel-bright eyes to the little cow-licks in his hair he always tries to gel into submission. Stiles sees the exact moment he realizes that he can’t get a scent, because his eyebrows flick up in surprise and hurt. In the supernatural community, scent blocking is rude to the point of hostility. It means you’re hiding something.

Stiles has no idea what his own face is doing, but after the slip, Derek schools his into something so tightly composed it seems like an admission in itself. It hardly feels like years can have passed since they saw each other last, except that propped on Derek’s hip, chubby hand curled at her mouth...

Emily. She’s grown into that distinctive Hale coloring; pale skin and dark hair. She has Derek’s hazel green eyes, too. Two tidy pigtails curl above each of her ears, held with red bubble ties.

“Oh,” Stiles says faintly. He’d braced himself for Derek, but only him. “Her hair’s longer.”

[wheredidhiseyebrowsgo]

Hiya! Could you recommend some fics where Stiles prevents the Hale fire? No preference whether it's when he's a kid or through timey wimey stuff. (I was looking through the tags on Ao3 & here but couldn't find the specific one.) Thank you! XOXO <3

Anonymous said:Hey you wonderful amazing people! So I've been wondering if there's any good fics, long or short, where Stiles saves the Hales form the fire? I've read one but can't remember the name of it and I was wondering if there's more? Preferably finished? Oh and merry Christmas from Sweden!

Hi there darlings!  I’ve got a bit of a mix here for you, hope they’re what you were looking for!  <3  -Emmy

No Day But Today by fauvistfly 

(9,527 I Explicit I Complete)  *sterek, time travel

“If you don’t change it successfully, you’ll be doomed to repeat it,” Deaton says, his face impassive despite the seriousness of his words.“Repeat the day?” Stiles parrots, trying to wrap his head around what they’re attempting to do, the ridiculousness of his life and how it now involves time travel. –in which things in Beacon Hills are so bad that Deaton sends Stiles back in time to stop Kate from manipulating Derek and causing the death of the Hale family. The catch: Stiles only has 24 hours to change the course of the future, or he’ll be stuck repeating that same day until he gets it right. What will be enough to keep Derek away from Kate?

Time to Begin by triedunture 

(20,752 I Teen I Complete)  *sterek, time travel, kid fic

Stiles learns some heavy-duty magic, and Derek convinces him to send him back in time to fix all the mistakes he’s made. But Derek ends up making things worse, and Stiles has to think creatively to save him. And everyone else, including their younger selves.

Find a Way by LLN3dseestheLight 

(25,198 I Mature I Complete)  *sterek, time travel, kitsune!Stiles

Kate Argent came back to Beacon Hills and slaughter the Pack. Only Stiles and Lydia survived for the moment but thanks to Peter Hale they have a way to change that…by doing something very stupid.

A Time Travel spell… If it works… And it does in a way… but it also sent them to another reality as well.

Not only does Stiles have to deal with an alive Hale family, a really weird Beacon Hills, but also with a nineteen year old Derek Hale-who dreams of a world where his family died in a fire-and where he knew Stiles and Lydia! Stiles can deal with that. What he can’t deal with is the fact Derek for some reason can’t keep his shirt on! So Troublesome.

Lydia is having her own problems-Parrish is all but mated to Laura Hale so any plans of  rekindling what she almost had with him are out. So she wonders if she should take a chance on Derek’s mysterious older brother, Damon Hale?

Hope is the Thing With Feathers by ShanaStoryteller 

(28,959 I Teen I Complete)  *sterek, magic!Stiles, artist!Derek

Stiles is ten when he saves the Hales from their burning home and Derek from a wolfsbane bullet, and this establishes a pattern that seem to continue indefinitely.

“Then he’s facing a burning home, and he wraps the hood of his sweatshirt around his mouth before he pushes the door open and steps inside. There’s Mr. Hale asleep - he hopes asleep - on the couch, next to - Stiles thinks that’s his brother but there are so many Hales, who can keep track. He rushes over and starts shaking him, can see the rise and fall of the man’s chest so he knows he’s alive, but he’s not waking up.He shoves away his hood so he can shout, "Mr. Hale! You have to get up, there’s a fire! Mr. Hale, get up!” Nothing, he’s not even twitching, both of them taking in deep even breaths like they’re having the most peaceful of rests, and Stiles is going to cry. “Wake up, wake up, wake up!”There’s a moment, where all Stiles can hear is the blood rushing in his ears and not the roar of the flames or the creak of wood, then with a violent, silent pop it’s all back and both of the men are gasping awake, eyes open and jumping to their feet. “

Play it Again by metisket 

(63,206 I Teen I Complete)  *sterek, magic!stiles

In which Stiles goes along with one of Derek’s plans and ends up in an alternate universe as a result. He should’ve known better. He did know better, actually, and that means he has no one to blame but himself.

“Laura wants to lure the kid in with food and kindness and make a pet of him, like a feral cat. Derek wants to have him arrested for stalking. They’re at an impasse. (And the rest of the family is staying emphatically out of it in a way that suggests bets have been placed.)”

[wheredidhiseyebrowsgo]

Hello my dears. I'm watching The Sound of Music as we speak and I just realized this would make a fantastic Sterek! Do you have any recommendations? Thank you and have a lovely day! *hug*

I never considered such a thing, but now I want more!  Love kid!fics, love historical AU, love tutor/manny fics.  UGH  *internally screaming*  Did manage to find a few for you, enjoy!  -Emmy

Where We Ought to Be by clio_jlh 

(20,144 I Explicit I Complete)

Stiles Stilinski has just been created a magician, like his mother before him and her father before her, but now he’s a little bit at loose ends.  So at the suggestion of his mentor Deaton, he takes a position with a very young alpha werewolf, Derek Hale, to protect his pack while he heads into the city in search of a mate.  That the stern Derek would be displeased by Stiles’s unorthodox methods (wolves training with hunters? unheard of!) is to be expected.  That Derek would start looking a little closer to home for his mate is more of a surprise.

When the Wolf Bites (When The Bee Stings) by ChloeWeird

The Sound of Music AU, set in modern day. But with werewolves. And no singing, dammit!

Alternate title: The Preserve is Alive(With the Sound of Howling)

Wolverston Hall by TaliskerMortem 

(39,639 I Teen I WIP)    *regency au

Eight months after the fire that killed the Countess of Beacon, Mr Stilinski is hired to tutor the Earl’s seven children. The air of neglect and decay that surrounds Wolverston Hall sets him on edge and the blank faces of the children he is charged with awaken a desperate need to remind them what love is. As for the Earl himself, Mr Stilinski isn’t entirely sure whether it is fear that causes his heart to beat harder in his chest at the sight of him… or something else. Something he is entirely unprepared for.

OR: The one in which Derek is a reclusive Earl with seven children and Isaac persuades him to hired Mr Stilinski as a tutor. Only Stiles becomes more than just a tutor to his children and Derek fears he may have become something more to him as well.

thealternativesource replied to your post “Hiya my dears. First off, hope you're having a wonderful day. Second,...”

It's Those at Home! Thank you so much! This was one of the first fics I read when I entered the Sterek fandom. Somehow I missed the notification and was surprised to see the answer. I thought someone else asked the question, but then I noticed it had my name. Wooooo! Thank you my fic detectives!

I’m so glad you caught it. And now you have another fic to read too! Bonus!

[wheredidhiseyebrowsgo]

Hiya. I've been having a couple bad mental health days and I was wondering if you had some happy fics to brighten my day? Or fics where Sterek take care of each other? Just need a smile/hug right about now. Thank you!

Sorry to hear it, bb!  Hope you’re doing better now, and if not, hope these fics brighten your day.  <3  -Emmy

Challenge accepted, Krista… Sort of?

–

Derek clears his throat quietly, resuming his plan on retrieving the boy’s mythology book, “Y-You dropped this…”

“I know, but- thanks.”

The boy snatches the book out of Derek’s hand with his mortification filling the air in a sharp, heady scent that has Derek’s wolf mentally salivating, “You’re welcome… Uh, do you know where the tutor session thing is supposed to be?”

“T-That’s me,” with another addition of pink to his cheeks, the boy rushes to correct himself a little, “I mean, I’m the tutor here and this is supposed to be- oh god, I’m really butchering this, aren’t I?”
