Say Fuck No to the Dress by anarchycox
Sterek | 21 k | completed
The Hales are all alive and pillars of the community. Late twenties Derek has a habit of buying struggling businesses and turning them around. He mostly does this to support his pack who didn't actually want to go off to college.
The latest business he bought is the local wedding dress shop that maybe still has dresses from the 80s in it.
After teasing from his sisters, and homophobia from his mother he decides he is going to run it himself.
This is a bad idea, a horrible idea, but luckily he has friends who will help him, like how he has always helped them. And just maybe over summer vacation, he'll finally get his guy.
livin' la vida mocha by 7nessasaryevils
There are four types of people who walk into Hale of A Cup.
- The classic overachievers at 8:30am.
- The "I'm late for my lecture but I'll murder someone if there isn't coffee in my hand right now" at 10:45am.
- The Venti Mocha and Chai Latte Frappe drinkers at 4:45pm.
- And the Overnighters who stumble in at 2:30 in the morning looking like death warmed over.
Those ones are Derek's favorite.

Stiles is determined to give Derek the perfect anniversary gift—the kind that proves he truly sees him.
That somehow resulted in time travel and a surprise encounter with the Hale Pack pre-everything.
Now he has to gather insight, avoid suspicion, and absolutely not rewrite history. Derek wanted something meaningful, but this might be too meaningful.
Perfect gift status: pending.

Scott has been turned into a werewolf just before their last year of high school. Managing him on full moons without any help turns almost fatal for Stiles until a dark, brooding wolf swoops in and saves his life. Apparently, he had to bite him to do that, not transforming him but bonding them together as mates.
As it turns out, the Hale pack is alive and thriving, and the hunters are after them, but how could Stiles concentrate on that. He has to figure out what being werewolf mated to Derek actually means.

The housing thing is a nightmare pretty much everywhere in California—but especially the bay. Since Stiles hasn’t managed to snag himself a rich partner to pay his bills yet, he’s used to roommates. Housemates. He actually hasn’t lived on his own…ever. He went from his dad’s house to college dorms to crowded apartments. He’s been living with Scott since they were 19, and now that they’re grown, they rent a house with two other guys they met online. There were many hours spent rifling through Craigslist before they found Derek and Isaac, but it was worth it.
Of ramblings and flailings, followed by a whiff of motor oil by Niwolah
Derek loved working in his coffee shop. No, scratch that. He loved paying the bills for his coffee shop. Lust smells from customers once they saw him? Nope. No, thank you, he was safer in his office.
So when he had to take Erica's place one day and watch over Malia as well, he thought that his day would be annoying, to say the least.
He didn't think he'd found his mate though, he stopped wishing about it a long time ago. But, oh boy, what a mate his wolf chose.

Happily ever afters don’t happen to people like Stiles. He knows he should be grateful that he even has a heartstring to begin with. But it’s been cold and dormant for so long. What good will come out of having a soulmate now—one who has basically ignored Stiles’ existence for ages? What could Stiles possibly need from a person like that anyway?
[Or: It’s only when Stiles starts singing love songs on stage that the Pack discovers his long-time hobby. This also forces him to learn what it really means to follow his heart.]
The Pumpkin Plan - Derek's way to woo a Stiles by Karla_Kattz
Sterek | 21 k | completed
Stiles currently has no kitchen, while Derek does. Stiles can't prepare himself proper, nutritious meals, but Derek can.
Derek thinks of Stiles and feels the need to keep him healthy. After all, he is a responsible landlord—and an alpha. It's in an alpha's nature to provide.
A plan quickly forms in Derek's head. Now, all he needs is a pumpkin. And Tupperware.
Derek Hale dislikes people, but his new neighbor Stiles is the exception to this rule. Instead of flirting with Stiles and asking him out like a typical guy would, Derek devises his own unique method of courting. It involves pumpkins and an apron, and nothing can go wrong. Or can it?

Once the girl had left his room, after he had put every possible contact number, email, and address he could think of into her phone, he proceeded to get absolutely shit-faced all by himself on a bottle of berry Absolut someone had left in his mini fridge, drunk dialed Jackson, Greenberg, and Coach Finstock purely to hang up on them and laugh into his pillow for no reason, and then he booked an earlier flight home for Thanksgiving. Stiles was going to need all the time possible to hash things out with his dad, and to cry himself out on Scotty's shoulder. He was going to be a dad.
"Holy Mary Mother of God," he said, channelling the Goonies. "Someone needs to stop me."
Stiles gets a girl pregnant, keeps the baby, learns what a nasal aspirator is, and gets the guy. All in a year's work.
I'm like....back or whatever? (Yay)
