#theme isolation

[stacinadia]

For @sterekdrabbles​!  April 22nd’s prompt was flu, treat, release, and the theme week of isolation continues!  This time, Stiles is isolated because he’s sick and everyone is off at either work or school.

Also on AO3.

The brave yet undeniably human Stiles Stilinski had finally been defeated, by the flu.   He was stuck in bed, too exhausted to even lift his head off the pillow.  And he was alone because everyone was either at school or work.  

Derek coming through the open window had to be a hallucination from loneliness.  It would have been a real treat if the werewolf that he had feelings for came to keep him company.  But he wasn’t real, Stiles realized sadly, his chest tightening painfully.  

“Of course I am.”  A hand gripped Stiles’ shoulder.

The tightness around Stiles heart released.

For @sterekdrabbles​!  April 20th’s prompt was prisoner, ask, late, and it was the first day of the theme of isolation!  Appropriate because April was when everything was shut down.  This time, Derek is the isolated one because he got captured by hunters (poor guy!).

Also on AO3.

**********

Being held prisoner in a cell alone was awful, but Derek knew that it was much better than the hunters coming in to torture him again or, even worse, his pack being there getting tortured as well.  As an alpha, he could withstand more pain than the others.  He’d never ask or beg for mercy, not as long as he lived and breathed.

Suddenly, there were loud noises outside of the cell.  Then, the door burst open and Stiles ran in, a cut on his cheek and his baseball bat over his shoulder.  “Sorry we’re late, big guy!” he grinned.
