In the past, the dull clouds would frown. Taught to conceal, always forced to hide. Clenching our fists as the flag came down. Never being able to show our pride.

Today, however, we raise our flag high. Through the rebellion came a different tide. The faded colours clash with that of the sky. Once again, we found our pride.

Now, I am all for the Malia’s canon choice of being a Tate instead of a Hale. Henry is her real father! Biology be damned! But it could’ve also been so good if after deciding that she doesn’t want Peter in her life, she realizes that she can still connect with her biological family through Derek. And Derek, who’s lost more family than he can count, welcoming her with open arms. 

– They grow to care for each other really quickly but they are both TERRIBLE at expressing it. 

– Just a bunch of awkward silences and nods, and LOADS of awkward shoulder pats from Derek. 

– She goes to him for advice and he tries his best to help her even though he does not feel qualified AT ALL. 

– Malia is already basically besties with Braeden in canon, they can have family dinners together! They just sit there silently eating food and it’s their absolute favourite time of the week. 

– Stiles gets invited one time but he can not shut up so he’s never invited again.
