Summary:

“Did we do this whole thing backwards?” Stiles asked.

Derek had never done things backwards or forwards, but he knew enough to know that love was a delicate thing.

Derek found his mate and quickly realized he didn’t know what came next.

You can either be too strong to fail or too weak to try.

It crept up on Derek slowly, insidiously. 

One second he was watching Stiles, legs splayed out in front of him, pen dangling from his lips as he stared at his computer screen, and in the next, he was thinking how easy it would be to pull Stiles onto the bed with him. Derek couldn’t concentrate on the book in his hands until he made Stiles’ freshly washed sheets smell like both of them again. The thought brought him up short. That wasn’t what this was supposed to be.

Huge thank you to @snarkatthemoon for betaing and making me a mood board that I love to bits!!!

Summary:

Halfway through his interaction with Stiles, Derek realized his head was throbbing and he was clenching his jaw so tightly his teeth ached. His fangs threatened to drop, and he was still struggling for control after Stiles had disappeared into the sheriff’s office. Derek didn’t stop struggling even after Stiles walked past his desk ten minutes later, saluted, and left the building. Not until long after his scent had faded.

In which Stiles unknowingly causes a phantom heat in Derek and then offers to help him through it. Against Derek’s better judgment, he accepts.

One argument that comes up from folks who in the camp of 'I can say whatever I want. I don't need to be polite!' is that the work is shared publicly and you can say whatever you want in the comments. But these are often the same people who get angry when the author/other readers reply in the same fashion. By their own logic, the reply is now public and the author and readers can reply how they want. Why should they be treated any differently?

And if said commenters are finding repeatedly that they're getting consistent feedback on why their comments are coming across badly, but they can't step back and evaluate how they could improve their approach...it's very hard to take them seriously and is a red flag towards bad faith comments with some sort of selfish agenda to make all fic conform to their specific preferences.
