Pairing: Derek Hale / Stiles Stilinski
Summary: AKA: The Sterek Rival Bakeries AU
Wherein they both own bakeries, Stiles tries not to run his grandmother's legacy into the ground, Laura wants to be a better alpha, and Derek can't seem to get Stiles' attention the regular way - so naturally, he accidentally initiates a prank war.
(Or, if Teen Wolf was more like Gilmore Girls, with everyone far too invested in whether the Hale boy and the Sheriff's kid will work it out, and Laura Hale wrote a handbook for alpha werewolves.)
I had seen this fic when it was first posted in November of last year and it sounded so great! Then I was disappointed when I opened it up, began reading, and saw it was second person. I thought maybe it was just an intro so I scrolled some more and found first person. I closed out of the fic. It's nothing against the author because she does brilliant stories all the time. Personally, I just don't like fanfiction that isn't third person. It's just with fanfiction though.
A few weeks ago I decided to open it up again and stuck through it. I mean, really, have you read the summary? It sounds like a fantastic story. I'm so glad I continued reading. It's the most adorable thing ever. When the Hales move in they immediately start pulling customers away from Stiles' bakery and Stiles is not happy at all. We see Derek scoping out Stiles' bakery to brooding away around his own bakery to baking pastries with Stiles. It's adorable! If that's not enough to pull you in, did I mention the prank war and how Derek seems to think that by annoying Stiles he'll be able to make him fall in love? So cute.
If you're like me and don't like second or first person in fanfiction, I promise you that despite the intro (which is actually adorable, honestly) this fic will have you staying up late to finish reading it.
