Shifters! Not gonna lie, I am weak for shifters, especially the non-traditional ones.

James "Bucky" Barnes/Clint Barton
Clint and Bucky had become pretty good friends since the latter had joined the team – and then The Universe has to go and mess it up by Clint getting turned into a hawk.
With no idea how long it will last, the team makes due as best they can and slowly Clint manages to finds ways to reconnect with everyone – except for Bucky. Making things worse is the startling discovery that Clint's instincts as a hawk, which have no time for the normal hangups of human perception and societal conditioning, mark Bucky as his mate.

James "Bucky" Barnes/Clint Barton
It had taken over twenty years before being a shifter was something Clint felt safe being open about, and he wasn't about to let Bucky Barnes's bad attitude towards natural shifters ruin that for him. No matter how hot the guy was.

Series: Part 1 of The Wolves of Timely
Clint Barton’s got a bag full of stolen money and a burning desire to stay under the radar. His old friends in the Carnival will be looking for him and they sure as hell won’t be happy. In a desperate attempt to stay off their radar, he ends up in Timely, a small town so far off the beaten track he’s surprised he even found it, and waits for Barney to comes and get him. Because Barney will be coming. Clint knows he will.
But there's something about the town. Maybe it's the strange wolf that watches him from the trees, and the way people finish conversations when he enters a room. Or it could be the bartender, Bucky, who decided to hate him on sight. Something’s going on in this small town, and Clint’s not sure if he’s jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire.
▪ Living for the Right Now (13995 words) by @lissadiane
Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski
An unfortunate incident at a petting zoo leaves Stiles unable to keep his child safe from the hunters that have been looking for them for months. Desperate, he returns to the one place he swore never to step foot in again -- Beacon Hills. But just because Derek has managed to turn himself into a decent Alpha while he's been gone doesn't mean Stiles is willing to forgive him for everything that happened six years before.
Besides. Wererabbits, as far as he can tell, don't need Alphas anyway.

“What if I guess what you are?” Derek asked.
Stiles sighed. “Why do you even think there’s something to guess?”
Derek cocked an eyebrow at him. “You’re taking a cold bath and showing no signs of being chilled. A normal human would be shivering by now and your body temperature hasn’t dropped at all.”

Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski
Derek starts noticing some weird things about Stiles after they start dating.
Stiles shrugs. “‘Cause I’m not, like, a big scary wolf. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I am the most efficient predator on the planet, and I would like it on the record that domestic cats are still apex predators.”
“None of this is any reason for me to be embarrassed by you,” Derek says, confused.
“I weigh like seven pounds in my shift,” Stiles goes on, like it’s obvious. “I’m cute and cuddly, and old ladies try to pick me up and take me home if I’m not careful so I usually end up in a tree and have to figure out how to get down. If someone manages to get me in a bag or has a laser pointer in their pocket, I’m pretty useless.”
