The Triskelion Tattoo by Takara_Phoenix - (Rating: T, Words: 5,397)

One of the challenges of being a human among wolves was that he didn't feel the pack bonds the way the wolves do. To show that he was part of the pack, Stiles gets a tattoo of the triskelion.

Derek had never displayed better self-control than when he sees his symbol on Stiles. He'd done so good holding back and controlling himself around Stiles, but this was his breaking point.

Capture and Release by MichelleDWinchester - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 55,670)

When Stiles gets an Executive Assistant's job at Hale's Angels he meets tall dark and brooding Alpha, Derek Hale.

Whilst their initial meeting could have gone better, Stiles soon finds that a whole new world of opportunity opens up to him in more ways than one.

Fighting against the injustices Omega's face as part of this revolutionary organisation, Stiles learns to embrace his Omega nature, when he realises that sometimes giving in to your submissive tendancies can be a liberating thing, when technically your the one whose really in control.

Weaving Peace, Stitch My Heart by Susihukka, wanderingeyre - (Rating: T, Words: 20,957)

After a generation of a devastating war, the countries of Triskel and Astoria have come to a peace agreement. The only son of Astoria, Stiles, will offer himself as a Peaceweaver in marriage to the second oldest child of Triskel, Derek. Stiles is nervous but excited to meet his new husband and start a family. Unfortunately, for Stiles, his intended wants nothing to do with him.

Stiles and the Hale pack come back to Beacon Hills for a High School reunion.

Yes To Heaven by Hedwig221b - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 85,417)

Stiles ruined him. The damage was irreparable. He didn’t want the food that wasn’t made by Stiles or shared with him; the water tasted stale; the clothes were asphyxiating and scratchy; the air was wrong, wrong without Stiles’ scent in it.

Fuck, what was wrong with him? How could that pretty little thing change him so much? He had an iron grip on his control before, being in tandem with his instincts, but within weeks, all of it was gone. As soon as he thought of Stiles, though, of his scent, his moans, and the little wrinkle on his forehead as he orgasmed, his mind settled.

What was life before Stiles? Everything was somewhere far, far away, forgotten, bleak, and meaningless. Derek thought he knew what light was as he looked at the microscopic dots of the stars above. Then Stiles came into his life and showed him the sun.

clenching my jagged jaws (over the capture) by Marishna - (Rating: T, Words: 21,495)

Derek Hale was never supposed to be alpha, but he's a good one. He doesn't need any help and he definitely doesn't need an emissary. 

Stiles Stilinski is Derek Hale's emissary and come hell or high water he's going to see the Hale pack through the impending arrival of the alpha pack, even if it means he can never return to Beacon Hills after.

I Love To Be The Underdog by CaptainnAustralia - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 33,522)

One of these days Stiles was going to learn that having a death wish was a bad thing.

Five times Stiles got into an argument on Derek's behalf, and the one time he didn't have to.

In which Stiles is literal (fake) jailbait, and Derek doesn't understand why he's being arrested for trying to talk to his mate.

By Any Other Name by entanglednow - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 33,090)

He doesn't know his name, he doesn't know who he is, and neither does the werewolf he's on the run with. But he's pretty sure they hunt monsters, because they seem to be really good at it.

five times derek is protective of stiles and one time it's the other way around byorphan_account - (Rating: T, Words: 2,353)

Yeah, okay, so maybe Derek was a tad too protective of Stiles. So what? Sue him for worrying about his best friend, whom he totally does not have a raging crush on. 

Okay, so maybe he does. 

Shut up.

Of All the Locked Rooms In All The World... by beren - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 6,005)

Hunters have plans for Beacon Hills that involved kidnapping Stiles and having him killed by a rogue werewolf. When that rogue werewolf is Derek, however, plans are bound to go awry.

And We'll Be Complicated by ingberry - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 18,565)

Stiles already had his hands full with the case he was working on for the enigmatic Mrs. B. He really didn't need this too, but there was no changing the fact that he no longer remembered Derek Hale or anything connected to him. And no one could figure out why.

Wolfsbane Moonlighting by derekstilinski - (Rating: T, Words: 4,422)

Stiles finds a badly injured wolf deep in the woods. Thanks to all those times Stiles had to cover for Scott in the animal clinic he knows a thing or two about treating wild animals. He also knows he should probably call somebody for help. Against better judgment he approaches the animal. The wolf is distrustful and Stiles is scared he might attack him - god knows wolf’s eyes shouldn't be that blue - but day after day of Stiles’ patient treatment and ceaseless but (hopefully) soothing chatter, a weird friendship is born. Unfortunately, the wolf’s condition worsens and Stiles is desperate enough to take him to the clinic. Only then he discovers it’s not a wolf at all.

Need Runs Deep by wishingonalightningbolt - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 3,850)

It would be ridiculous to treat Derek any differently now, now when everything’s better than it had been years ago, when they’re established and safe and have so much more control now.

Except the most recent issue is that lack of control. Specifically, Derek’s lack.

-0-

In which Derek loses the human side of himself and is a lot more tame than Stiles would've expected. Also cuddles.

A soul fractured to the bone (searching for someone who can make you whole) byMemeKon - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 7,171)

You have to merge the two sides together, Stiles. Through mating. Sexual magic is second in power only to blood magic. And the latter one is too dangerous and volatile to be feasible.”

“They have to... With each other?” He inquires; and although hello there spank bank material for the rest of eternity, the issue still stands that “They kind of can’t tolerate each other? Or at least Other!Derek doesn’t tolerate regular Derek.”

“Oh, I see.” There’s the distinct sound of paper rustling. “That’s… less fortunate but still doable. They will need a link. A nexus to help them fix the broken bond between instinct and reason. Someone who both sides trust and have a connection with. Is there anyone who the wolf has shown a particular attachment to, Stiles? Or even someone whom he lets near it?”

There is.

House of Straw by Coragyps - (Rating: T, Words: 4,087)

Stiles has been rescued, safe and sound. But Derek is having trouble letting go of the wolf. And the wolf is having trouble letting go of Stiles …

warm shadows by stilinskisparkles - (Rating: T, Words: 22,040)

“Fine,” Stiles spits back, “We’ll die together, it’ll be dandy.”

“I’m looking forward to it,” Derek snaps, “I’ll get some peace and quiet for once.”

Stiles grins suddenly, blindingly. There’s blood on his teeth, and his eyes are dark and desperate as he looks up at Derek, but he’s never looked more stupidly, infuriatingly beautiful.

Naps are nature’s way of reminding you that life is nice by FicLogia - (Rating: G, Words: 3,033)

Melissa puts the patient chart away and comes closer to the omega. “It’s normal to change your mind. Especially for someone in your position.” Young, unmated, barely graduated. The omega ob-gyn has seen it one too many times. 

Derek shakes his head, runs a hand over the arc of his belly, relishing the feel of it, a quiet sigh escaping his lips. “I want this baby. We wouldn’t be here if I didn’t.”

“Then why? Why didn’t you say anything?”

Worth It by dragneels - (Rating: G, Words: 1,670)

He hadn’t thought even for a second, instincts roaring, and jumped in front of Derek, taking the blow.

And then he got lost in the darkness.

Derek did not die. I refuse to believe it. Stiles came home and Derek did not die.

Room 318 by DaisyBeats - (Rating: G, Words: 14,838)

Derek pulled the chair closer to the bed and sat down, eyes scanning every detail like he couldn’t decide what to focus on. “What’s going on?”

Stiles didn’t answer right away. He looked out the window for a second, his expression tightening, and when he turned back, his voice was quiet.

“Bone cancer,” he said. “Osteosarcoma, to be specific. I’m on my first round of chemo. They started it last week.” ~~~~

Derek returns from Mexico and realizes things have gotten much worse since he left.

Game On by stilinskisparkles - (Rating: T, Words: 6,391)

Derek first sees him from across the quad four days into fall semester. He’s sitting on one of the long benches, a marker pen in his mouth, grinning at something the kid lounging on the bench beside him is saying. When he laughs properly he pulls the pen out and throws his head back, his neck a long, lean line Derek is entranced by. He flicks the page in his book and highlights something, tossing the cap up in the air and catching it with his teeth.

Not Worth Saving by FinchInTheMines - (Rating: T, Words: 27,988)

After being repeatedly abandoned by Scott and his pack, Stiles is finally kicked out of the pack. With his bonds broken he takes a shot in the dark and calls Derek for help. Surprised when the alpha picks up and is willing to help him, he finally finds a place in a pack that actually cares about him. Scott is not to pleased about this.

three triskeles, two soulmates, and one giant secret by Hedwig221b - (Rating: T, Words: 5,888)

Sometimes, Stiles thought about telling him. It wasn’t even a thought, but a fantasy of him kissing Derek first thing in the morning and kissing him goodnight, of not going into separate bedrooms after a tiring day. He dreamed of making that one step further and putting not only his chin on Derek’s shoulder when the wolf cooked breakfast, but his hands around Derek’s waist, dreamed of taking his hand and threading their fingers, dreamed of kisses and sex and shared life.

It wasn’t this young puppy love. It wasn’t lust, though it was there. It was a years-long, deep, chronic ache. Bittersweet. Overwhelming. Sometimes, it didn’t let Stiles breathe, and other times it was the only thing that made him do it.

Stiles’ confession would destroy them, but not Derek. Because Derek would get up and lift his chin again.

If the alpha was brave enough to cover Stiles’ body from an imminent threat, then maybe it was time for Stiles to get brave, as well. The wounds may never close, but if Derek rejected him… it wouldn’t matter.

Nothing ever would.

Abominable by Revenant - (Rating: T, Words: 20,277)

Where Derek buys a secluded cabin halfway up a mountain, meets a yeti and falls in love with Stiles, but not necessarily in that order.

to yearn and be yearned by quackquackcey  - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 10,215)

All his life, Derek’s yearned.

And now as the years have passed, he knows better; he takes things as they are. So when his relationship with Stiles morphs into something more, into warmth and kisses and hugs in the darkness, he takes it as it is. He takes what he is given.

But perhaps this time, he can expect more than he never dared to yearn for…?~ 🕯

or

Stiles is obsessed, stealing Derek’s dirty underwear & more; Derek is oblivious that they’re even dating. They're freaks for each other, that’s the story. ✨

No One Will Find You by Hedwig221b - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 7,877)

Stiles' gaze fell on the ads and random bits of paper stuck to the street pole. He ripped the offending advertisement off and was about to throw it out when his eyes caught a familiar face.

Closely shorn head. Big, doe eyes, an impish smile, and his mother’s nose.

Body Language by LadyMerlin - (Rating: T, Words: 2,388)

In an alternate universe, soulmates exist, and they can communicate with each other by writing on their own skin. 

The catch? No one knows their soulmates' name. It could literally be anyone under the sun, and Stiles just doesn't have that kind of patience.

Scent Marking For Dummies by Hatteress (somewhatstacey) - (Rating: T, Words: 8,824)

Stiles is almost used to being chased around the school by werewolves at this point. Having to share a bed with Derek freaking Hale, on the other hand, is just needlessly complicating his life.

Implausible Deniability by Farscapegeek - (Rating: T, Words: 2,456)

“Do you want to explain this?” Lydia asks, nay, demands.

Derek looks down at the photo and winces. It's him and Batman, clearly making out in the alley behind the gala Stilinski Enterprises had held the night before. 

“I tripped?” He replied weakly. 

“Tripped. Tripped somehow onto Batman's mouth?” Lydia’s voice growing more shrill at every word. 

“Ummmm yes?”

“Would you like to try again?”

“Not especially no.”

AKA The one where Derek (Superman) gets caught making out with Batman (Stiles) and the reporter's quiet life of anonymity is blown. Please stop snickering Stiles it isn't funny.

Angel Choirs and Magic by LadyDrace  - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 3,000)

Derek has been very, very patient, and has shown frankly incredible self-control in the face of brutal teasing and flirting for two months. But now it's time for the mating run, and he's about to get his reward.

Except for how maybe it's actually Stiles getting a treat. 

Win/win.

Stay with me by Beautiful_noise - (Rating: T, Words: 2,740)

Derek gets a glimpse of the future in which Stiles has two biological daughters and that's how he knows he and Stiles are going to break up.

there's a ritual for that by Spikedluv - (Rating: T, Words: 34,672)

Six months after Derek and Cora leave Beacon Hills, Stiles gets a text from Cora – they’re in trouble and need help. Turns out that Derek is being wooed by a neighboring pack. The Alpha remembers his mother fondly and would love to have a Hale in her pack. Especially if that means she might breed in the ability to change into a full wolf. And she’s not taking ‘no’ for an answer, even when Derek lies and tells her that he already has a mate.

Except Derek didn’t lie. When Stiles shows up to help with the emergency, he inadvertently discovers that he is Derek’s mate. Stiles tries not to think about it (he knows that the mate bond isn’t written in stone, just look at Scott and Allison) as he (and Lydia, and Deaton) research mates and the challenges to the mate bond (because, of course there’s a ritual for that) and try to keep the Alpha of the Palmer pack from discovering Stiles’ connection to Derek.

Throw in the monkey wrench of Peter showing up, and Stiles starting to have feelings, and Derek sometimes looking at him like . . . Stiles doesn’t know, but he doesn’t hate it, and things begin to get a little bit complicated.

That Which You Cannot Undo by uraneia - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 28,181)

By twenty-eight, Stiles has resigned himself to a quiet life of working in his magic shop, selling Jackson Whittemore fart-inducing tea, and looking after his goddaughter. It's a good life. But the quiet goes to hell when his sister, Lydia, shows up with a crispy werewolf in her trunk and a bite mark on her shoulder, because hard on her heels comes the hottest person Stiles has ever seen, and he happens to be looking for his uncle.

You know, the dead guy Stiles helped Lydia bury last night.

But Then What... by orphan_account - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 24,343)

Senior year is almost over, and all Stiles needs to do is keep his head down to survive. A teacher calls in a favor, leaving him stuck tutoring Derek Hale, one of the most popular jocks in school and a member of a group of douchecanoes who have bullied Stiles for years. He's someone Stiles totally hates. Totally. Like, doesn't like him even a little bit. DEFINITELY isn't attracted to him.

Except that is a total lie. Fuck his life, seriously.

When You're Close I Feel the Sparks by Leslie_Knope - (Rating: Mature, Words: 39,671)

The guy is hot as hell, sure—leather jacket and glasses, Jesus, be still Stiles' poor, bisexual, beating heart—but more importantly, it must really suck being new on the first day of senior year. 

“We’re adopting him,” he decides, tugging Scott and Kira by the elbow in that direction. “Let’s go.”

Don't Judge a Derek By His Cover by captaintinymite (augopher) - (Rating: Mature, Words: 4,510)

Stiles doesn't care about the rumors surrounding Beacon Hills High School's resident bad boy, Derek Hale. In fact, he thinks the rumors are total crap. Of course, being secretly in love with someone has a way of clouding one's judgment.

However, he knew for a fact that Derek liked books. So when the two paired up for a final English project, he was excited (but also a little terrified).

But you know what they say...never judge a book by its cover. The same goes for people.

This is Home by raisesomehale - (Rating: T, Words: 4,542)

Other than being a werefox with a werekit for a son, Stiles' life is relatively normal. He's a single parent, owns a modest sized home, and has a variety of kid-friendly meal recipes tucked neatly under his belt. It might be just him and Nate, but they have it in the bag. Nothing is missing from their lives.

That is, until Nate befriends a girl named Sadie Hale on his first day of kindergarten. Then everything changes.

Bean Howlin' For You by MadMim  - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 11,189)

Stiles is an omega who has been crushing on his boss, Derek, for the last year. When Derek approaches him asking for his help to be his fake boyfriend as a buffer during dinner with his parents Stiles can't find the words to refuse. It makes Stiles realize how intense his feelings for the Alpha are; a realization that leads to unforeseen consequences. Luckily he isn't alone in his attraction and when his heat hits him unexpectedly he doesn't have to suffer through it alone.

Secret Life of Stiles & Derek by thebigoblin - (Rating: T, Words: 6,131)

A couple minutes pass by, the world on the screen the only noise, but then Stiles turns around again. He doesn’t say anything, but Derek understands anyways and feeds Stiles. It makes him satisfied in a way he’s both thrilled and concerned about, which basically sums up his life. But in this moment he focuses on Stiles, and the intimacy of their trust, the way Stiles allows him to provide for him. The way Stiles trusts him with these small things, and when it matters, with the big things. Like Stiles’ life.

This time, a murmur kick starts between the betas. Mainly Isaac and Erica, who are trying to tamp down their curiosity but are unable to do so. Boyd isn’t into the gossip, but Derek sees him watching them a couple of times.

On the other hand, he can smell Scott silently fuming, and Allison’s gentle scraping along his scalp, his arms. Trying to control him. Anchoring him. Derek smirks, unable to help the way his chest expands with possessive pride.

When Stiles is away at college, he realises that he’s in love with Derek. He also realises that he doesn’t exactly have the qualities an alpha needs in a mate. Boyfriend. Whatever. So he decides to change, with a little help from Martha Stewart. It’s just that Stiles isn’t all that great when it comes to tending to the betas, baking or cleaning. But maybe he doesn’t have to be.

Derek’s not sure if there’s a way to explain that he left because Beacon Hills didn’t need him, not when it had Scott and his pack; and that they were better off without him- an omega whose anchor was slipping.

Mostly he wonders if any of them really even noticed he was gone.

“You told me I would have time,” Derek said, simmering with anger. “You promised to leave the choice to me.”

“The court is starting to talk,” said Peter. “We do not have a stellar reputation as it is, and your ventures into the world of simple pleasures do not go unnoticed. You do not care, of course. But you are, pardon me, too loud for it to remain discreet.”

“You think if I were to have a wife, I would stop fucking?”

Peter cringed his nose. “No. It would make you a proper, civilized man. You are getting too old, nephew.”

“Fine. But I’ll choose.”

“No,” Peter smiled. “I shall choose.” Derek opened his mouth to argue, but Peter did not let him. “We both know you will continue to fuck whomever you want. None of us will be able to stop you. Let me have a pick of a proper spouse to placate the court. That’s all I ask.”

Truth in Pretense by wanderingeyre - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 13,249)

Stiles took the straw from his drink and started chewing on it. He pulled it from his mouth and stood. He grinned at Derek. “Stop frowning, Sourwolf. I have a solution that will solve all our problems.”

“And that would be?” Derek didn’t move as Stiles moved closer to him.

Stiles winked at Derek. “We get married.” --- The one where Derek and Stiles pretend to be mates to help out a neighboring Pack and find there is some truth in pretense.

"Stuck in a time loop. Know where Erica and Boyd are. Need help saving them. Cora is alive and we need to save her too."

Derek froze, right down to his marrow. The questions rose up like fish to the surface of the sea after throwing in a stick of dynamite; constant, floating, too many to count.

He examined Stiles again; the stillness, the dark bags under his eyes he hadn't had yesterday and were evidence of more than one night's bad sleep, the hitch every third breath like he was just keeping it together.

Stiles needed help.

It was that simple.

"Okay,” he said, making sure to temper his voice.

Stiles wilted and crashed into Derek's chest, wrapping his arms around him for a quick moment before pulling back. Derek heard him mutter, every damn time, fuck, as he walked into the apartment.

We've Written Volumes (in Blood and Scars and Ink) by notthequiettype - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 25,935)

Stiles is on his back on hard-packed dirt. He's cold and there are leaves stuck to his neck and there's a four inch gash in his side that he thinks he can feel his ribs through. There's so much blood around him he feels like he's floating on a pond and everything is so much dimmer above him than it was a minute ago, which is saying something because he's in the dark center of the forest in the middle of the night. And the worst of it is that he's alone, totally alone with the smell of his own blood drowning him and the soft side of him run through by a tree.

As his eyes slip shut, the last thing he thinks is, "This is going to kill my dad."

“And they just kept coming, and we were losing. But then he came. Derek. Fangs bared. Eyes red.”

Laura stops breathing. “Red?”

“Alpha, my Alpha,” Stiles chants, reverence in his tone, and like he’s been called by it, Derek emerges from the forest, his white t-shirt riddled with bullet holes and arrow-tip grazes, the rest of him drenched in blood that makes Laura’s run cold.

Her baby brother looks straight at her when he says, “It’s not mine. Mostly. I’ll heal.” He says it off-handedly, like it’s no matter. Like him fighting, and winning, and burning a human being alive is just a Thing he does.

[excerpt] The sudden shift sent a prickle of unease running down Stiles's spine as he followed Derek's gaze, scanning the parking lot. The peaceful atmosphere had shifted. They were no longer alone.

"What do you—"

See, he wanted to ask, but Derek cut him off with a warning growl, pushing Stiles back.

Stiles rolled his eyes. While he loved Derek's protectiveness, he also hated when Derek got all overprotective. It reminded him of the pool incident when they faced the Kanima, and Derek shoved him back, trying to keep him out of harm's way. But he could handle himself, dammit! He'd more than proved that over the years; however, before he could argue, a figure emerged from the shadows, stalking toward them, revealing an eerie mirror image of Derek.

What the actual fuck? Stiles's mind reeled in disbelief at the sight of the doppelganger, struggling to comprehend what was happening.

"Uh…please tell me you have a secret twin I didn't know about."

“Why?” Stiles asked, even as he stuck his right hand into the can and coated it in the blue substance. “Also, why are you making me move when it means you’re going to have to reposition me just right all over again?” 

“Because I was only doing that to drive you crazy,” Derek insisted with a sassy smirk. Damn that sassy bastard! “We’re both going to be moving for this.” 

“Okay,” Stiles said uncertainly, his left hand now coated in paint. “Why?”

He could never really shut down that part of his brain, so it nagged him in the back of his mind as he failed to catch snowflakes anyway.

He heard a chuckle behind him and it sent warmth radiating through his body, from head to toe.

Stiles finds them, discovering that Derek has been changed into a wolf pup with none of his memories, only able to recognize people by their scent. After a talk with Deaton Stiles discovers there are ley lines in Beacon Hills, specifically on the Hale property, which caused Derek and Peter to shift. Unfortunately for them there's nothing they can do to reverse it except sit and wait. Which is easier said than done when none of the pack can understand why Derek only wants to be around Stiles.

Stiles’ eyes shot up as the bell above the door jingled, his magic letting him know that the people coming through were not human. They were a gorgeous pair, both tall with dark hair, perfect bone structure, and the graceful gait that all werewolves seemed to have. The female of the pair had dark eyes and a lean build, muscular but without the bulk the male carried. His eyes were light and impossible to look away from. He couldn’t tell the color from the distance, but he didn’t care. He could stare into them for hours.

He jumped, giving his dad a sharp look when he was kicked in the shin under the table. “What the hell was that for?”

“Staring is rude. I know I taught you that a long time ago.”

“Shh, Jesus, Dad, they can hear you.” Glancing back toward the pair, Stiles sucked air through his teeth as their eyes met again. “Who are they?”

“Care to join us, deputies?” the sheriff asked, glancing between Stiles and his new recruits. “It seems my son is curious about you two.”

Groaning in embarrassment, Stiles buried his face in his hands. Of course, these two gorgeous people were his father's new deputies. That’s just how his life went.

For the record, Derek is not stalking Stiles. He's just being protective, standing guard outside his bedroom window every night like the world's okayest watchdog. For the most part, it's relatively uneventful. Until one night, Derek catches Stiles performing a one-man concert to the tune of Taylor Swift's Love Story, with some very interestinglyrical changes.

"I thought I heard—" Derek starts, adrenaline giving way to embarrassment. "Nevermind. Sorry. I'll go." "You thought you heard what?" Stiles prompts, one eyebrow cocked in mocking familiarity. "I…heard you singing," Derek says softly, gaze cast to the ceiling so that he doesn't have to look Stiles in the eye. "So? That's hardly a cause for concern," Stiles snaps defensively. "What, a man can't enjoy a good pop-country love ballad every once in a while?" "No, it's not that. It's just—" Derek falters. "I thought I heard you say my name." "What?! I didn't say your name!" Stiles splutters, voice rising an octave. And that's when he hears it, the telltale skip in his heartbeat as Stiles chokes around the obvious lie.

He taps the up arrow once—then again, harder, faster, practically jamming the key in a frantic flurry, like maybe if he goes fast enough, the guilt won't catch him first. His eyes scan the flickering blur of words that scroll upward in jumps and stutters, until the screen settles.

They reminded each other about the audience, invisible but no less real. A hand on the chest, fingers grabbing the chin to stop the lips from pursuing. Stuttered breaths, simmering heat, gritted teeth. Forehead against forehead and noses rubbing together. In the end, it was Derek who smiled at him in placation and pressed the last calming kiss to Stiles’ eager lips. As if they had all time in the world. As if they would be doing it again and again and again, after. As if something real would exist beyond this TV set.

Yes, Derek kissed him like he wanted it to last. If Stiles was a romantic at heart, he would’ve said it felt like yearning. For what — Stiles didn’t know. There ought to be thousands like him in Derek’s world, while Derek was one in a million.

“Hey, how was…” Stiles started as Derek walked through the room without stopping, “Fuck.” He muttered under his breath. It was clearly not a good day for his wolf.

Stiles waited at the table to see what song would come through the speakers. They’d set up playlists for Derek to be able to convey his needs. He’d always been fairly nonverbal when it came to feelings and Stiles found that when he got in his head it was a thousand times worse. The playlists were a way for him to ask for what he needed without having to actually explain it.

Derek’s eyes narrowed. He turned toward Scott with a glare that could melt asphalt. Explain yourself or be eaten—that was his type of vibe.

Scott held up his hands, defensive. “Okay, okay! Chill. The pack’s just… concerned.”

“Concerned,” Derek repeated, voice flat and deeply unimpressed.

Scott winced, his smile cracking. “Yeah. Uh. You kinda made Isaac cry yesterday. Over sparring techniques. And Lydia said she’s not coming back until you get laid.”

Derek froze. His entire body went stiff like someone had poured cement down his spine.

“We’re just wondering,” Scott said, painfully casual, “when the last time was that you had some fun. And if, like… you needed help finding someone?”

So When Do I Get To Pledge My Loyalty To The Mob? by RedRidingStiles - (Rating: Mature, Words: 10146, sterek)

“Are you my sugar daddy?” Stiles blurts out, slapping a hand over his mouth when his brain catches up to his mouth. 

The man lets out a soft laugh, making his way around the couch till he’s standing just feet away from Stiles. 

Stiles can smell his cologne from here, it smells heavenly, Stiles kinda wants to bury his face into the guy's chest so he can figure out exactly what it is. 

“If that’s what you’d like to call it.” The man smiles. 

Stiles doesn’t think he should be allowed to smile like that. All soft and gorgeous and way too pretty to be legal. 

He’s still not convinced any of this is real. 

Stiles loses his wallet, someone returns it along with $5,000. Shit keeps coming, Stiles life doesn't make any sense anymore, he's just going with it.

Layover by dr_girlfriend - (Rating: G, Words: 3643, sterek)

Excerpt:

Big, serious brown eyes were staring right into his from only a few inches away. The child had clambered half over the arm of Derek’s chair to study him at close range, her little rosebud mouth pursed in concentration.

“Uh.” Derek couldn’t look away as the girl reached out one pudgy hand and patted him gently on the cheek. Her scent was soft and sweet and somehow a bit familiar, just enough to keep Derek from shying away. Derek didn’t know too much about kids but he guessed this one was probably three years old or so, head still oversized in proportion to the short limbs and round little belly.

She seemed fascinated with Derek’s beard, eyes widening further under incredibly thick lashes as she petted Derek’s cheek some more, smoothing down the short stubble. Finally she grinned widely. “Good wuff.”

Derek jerked upright, hands clenching on the edge of his seat.  Did she just say?...

“CJ!” The child was suddenly gone, lifted up by a strong, tattooed forearm around her little potbelly. “You scared the he— heck out of me! What have I told you about wandering — Derek?”

I don't like the way she's looking at you (I'm starting to think you want her too) by May_Belle - (Rating: Mature, Words: 13700, sterek)

"It has to look like you and Derek haven't fucked on every flat surface of this house this week alone so that Tessa sees Derek as a strong, totally available alpha that she can possibly make several babies with one day."

Or the one where Stiles and Derek pretend they aren't completely in love with each other for the sake of a possible pack alliance.

“I’m serious Derek,” Stiles whispers. “Come home.”

"I don't have amnesia." "Um, clearly you do. You're under a spell that's taken a year's worth of memories." "No. I've wakened from a spell."

The Distance Between Us by yodasyoyo - (Rating: T, Words: 2055, sterek)

“It’s like I’ve travelled back in time and it’s five years ago. You wanna tell me that this is private property?” Stiles grumbles, “Or should we just skip ahead to the part where you throw me up against the nearest hard surface and smolder at me.”

I'm gonna light a spark (gonna hold my breath until the morning) bydearericbittle (dutchmoxie) - (Rating: T, Words: 2517, sterek)

Derek hates the bus, hates how people use it as an excuse to sit close to him and bat their eyelashes at him. And then this stranger who smells like home just falls asleep on his lap.

Of Sharks and Lighter Things by SylvieW - (Rating: Mature, Words: 5958, sterek)

Stiles’ medications are messing up his body chemistry. If he goes off his suppressants, he’ll have to go through his heat, but he doesn’t know any alphas who’d help him. So, Scott asks his roommate Derek. Turns out Derek's more than willing to lend a hand.

Where There's Sacrifice - lupus (khaleeseas) - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 45167, sterek)

Every ten years, someone from Stiles Stilinski's village is offered as tribute to a neighboring clan of werewolves. Every ten years someone is taken into the woods and is never heard from again. No one knows what happens to them, where they go, or what becomes of them. When the wolves come early one year and his community struggles to select a tribute in the time allotted Stiles does something foolish. Brave, but very, very foolish. He volunteers as tribute.

It's (Not) a Cult - lhr111 - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 56062, sterek)

“Well Stiles, you told me a few weeks ago that you thought Derek was leading a cult.”

At that Derek whipped his head toward Stiles in shock. “You thought I was a cult leader?”

Stiles will not be shamed. “Well, either you or Peter. Peter made more sense, but since he deferred to you that one time I was a little unsure. I mean, what else could I think with all the weird shit going on. You, hanging out with random high school seniors, doing secret things, ordering them around like you are their parent, them actually doing what you tell them. It’s really weird, okay?”

“Are you familiar with Harry Potter?” Derek asks.

Talk about a non sequitur. “What? What does that have to do with anything? And, of course I know Harry Potter!”

“Well to quote Sirius Black, ‘Once again you’ve put your keen and penetrating mind to the task and as usual come to the wrong conclusion.’"

The Sheriff starts snickering, and Stiles is both insulted and also a little in love.

Stiles, why is Derek Hale passed out on our front porch? - marguerite_26, mothlights (Rating: Explicit, Words: 4462, sterek)

Stiles doesn't hear the knock on his front door, but he figures there must have been one, because now his dad's calling out to him,

"Stiles, do you know why Derek Hale just passed out on our front porch?"

Stiles freezes, carton of milk half way to his mouth. He looks around the empty room, wondering if it has any answers. Derek Hale just passed out on his front porch -- sounds like one of the signs of the coming apocalypse.

Knot Another Teen Wolf RomCom - luulapants (Rating: Explicit, Words: 6891, sterek)

Little clues were coming together here, adding up in a truly alarming and surreal way that Stiles wasn’t fully mentally prepared for. “So… so this is a dick-specific sort of issue?” he ventured.

Jesus, and Stiles knew that look. Who the hell hadn’t felt that way at some point? Betrayed and confused and a little scared of one’s own body. Stiles had felt that way about his dick lots of times. Usually in class, right before the teacher called him to the board. He’d felt that way about his dick after the first time Derek pushed him into a wall and stood up close in his business. As soon as Derek had left, Stiles had stood staring down at his dick in dismay, thinking, 'This? We’re into this now?'

“I mean, you… you already know what’s happening,” he surmised. “You just want me to do some research and see if I come up with the same thing so you know it’s not just you, yeah?”

Finally, Derek looked at him, and it was with a half-cringing vulnerable expression Stiles had never seen nor even imagined he would see before in his life. “I guess?”

Anniversary - Sophtly (Rating: T, Words: 15622, sterek)

Derek always spends the anniversary of his family’s death alone, other than the years when he still had Laura, still had family left to mourn with. Now he just has another person to mourn. He makes sure he has everything he needs in his apartment because he knows he won’t go out. Not that he needs much. There are not many supplies required to sit in one place and think about everything you’ve lost.

Love Is A Force Of Nature - Brego_Mellon_Nin -(Rating: Explicit, Words: 13662, sterek)

When Derek’s father sat him down for the sex talk when Derek was thirteen, he’d explained that werewolves felt things more intensely than humans when they found their mate.

So, even though Derek really wants Stiles, he holds back on his urges until Stiles is ready. As it happens, Stiles turns out to be an early bloomer.

Real life isn't a movie (life doesn't make narrative sense) - dearericbittle (dutchmoxie) - (Rating: Mature, Words: 11586, sterek)

Somehow accidentally insulting a hot guy in a coffee shop leads to pretending to be his boyfriend in front of a house full of werewolves. Stiles Stilinski is living his best life and making the most of his Hallmark movie moment.

He's Not Mine - Sunnee -(Rating: Explicit, Words: 68534, sterek)

Derek comes home to find an abandoned werebaby on his front porch and Stiles volunteers to help him out. Surprisingly, that is just the beginning of his problems.

our lives are changing lanes - grimm (Rating: Explicit, Words: 47537, sterek)

There's a lot of screaming going on inside the first house Stiles visits. He isn't really worried, because it sounds like kids, but then the door opens and hi, says his dick, because the dude in front of him is gorgeous, built like a god with a face like thunder. Stiles wants to lick that solid jaw line. Hold the fuck on, says his cop brain, because the dude's got kids hanging all over him; one's on his back, skinny legs looped around his waist, and another two hanging off one arm, toes barely brushing the ground. There's a tubby toddler clinging to his leg like a koala, and he's got a baby tucked into the crook of the one arm that doesn’t have kids hanging off it. Stiles' mouth drops open.

"How many of those kids did you kidnap?" he asks before he can wrangle his brain into submission.

The man gives him a look that says what the fuck is wrong with you and snaps, "You think I'd subject myself to this on purpose?"
