Instagram Story - Happy Birthday, Steve

So when Stiles has to work for 8-10 hours a day, they’re both devastated. Derek spends the first week sitting in the car in the parking lot, waiting like a loyal dog for his boy to be done. But after a stern talking to from the buildings security team, they both decide that that isn’t feasible anymore.

So Derek does what he can to remind Stiles that he’s there. That neither of them will leave the other. Derek makes him lunches every morning and writes sappy notes about loving and missing him and how they’re bonded mates and how nothing can come between them. Stiles cries the first time he gets one of these notes and hides in the bathroom as he heaves and sobs because he misses his man so much.

Stiles starts to FaceTime Derek every lunch period and they eat lunch together every day. But he still can’t shake the feeling that one day he’ll come home and the house will be empty and Derek will be gone. He doesn’t know why, they’re both obsessed with each other, but he can’t shake the fear.

One evening, he comes home and his fear is confirmed. Derek is gone. The house is in complete disarray: lamps are knocked over, the coffee table has been shattered, paintings and pictures are knocked off the wall and there are many holes in the drywall.

But one thing sticks out to him: the warning written in blood:

Find me

Find me? Find me? How was Stiles supposed to do that when he couldn’t even breathe properly?

Scott is still on his speed dial, and it’s both hard and easy to smash the 1 key on his phone (his dad is number two; Derek isn’t on speed dial because he never answers the phone unless he knows he’s getting a call).

Scott is better about answering his phone these days and picks up on the third ring, asking Stiles what was up in a nonchalant manner, only to freeze when he heard the choked sobs and the heaving gasps.

So he runs over and makes it through the door six minutes later. When he sees the chaos of the usually tidy house around a whimpering huddled mass of magical human, he’s quick to jump in and console. Stiles, through the aching sobs, managers to stutter out that Derek was taken.

Immediately Scott calls the rest of the pack members with Stiles still inconsolable and curled up in his lap.

.oOo.

It doesn’t take long to find Derek. A nerve wracking two days in which Stiles swings from wildly competent to a shaking panting mess. But the hunters were sloppy, young and delusional with power. It’s an easy fix and ultimately Derek was fine. The furniture was replaced, the holes in the wall and picture frames patched.

But Stiles is even more clingy.

He has to take time off work. Derek is ashamed of how happy he is that Stiles stays with him for the next four days curled up in their nest bed. They exchange kisses and taste each others bodies and together reach new heights of needy pleasure that carries on and on until they’re both drunk with it.

So going back to work after everything is all said and done seems like a monumental task. The first day, Stiles barely makes it to lunch before he’s emailing his supervisor and apologizing but explaining that he has to go. He keeps expecting Derek to be upset or disappointed in him for being so clingy, but he can’t help it. Every time the wolf isn’t in his sight, he panics, thinking he could be gone—taken from him for good this time.

Derek similarly needs his anchor. Stiles is the only thing anymore that can remind him that he’s safe. That he isn’t in danger anymore. That he doesn’t need to always be alert. It’s hard for him to find his anchor without being physically there next to him.

In all, the separation caused by Stiles’ job is too much for either of them.

Eventually Stiles’ boss calls him in for a one-on-one come-to-Jesus meeting about attendance and job performance and not fitting in with the team. Stiles thinks it’s all so much bullshit so he puts in his two weeks notice then and there. His boss isn’t happy, but is ultimately understanding.

The next two weeks are stress inducing and he’s hardly there half the time, having panic attacks in the bathroom and having to be picked up by Derek. But Stiles needs a job. They have both decided that it has to be remote. He has to be able to work from home. Bottom line.

It takes him two months to find something. It’s a shitty customer service gig where he answers phones and puts people through to more important workers. It fucking sucks. He hates every second of it. But he loves Derek. He loves being home. He loves the lack of stress and anxiety.

Part 11 - ?

"Runnin'" by Spikedluv

This is a loose re-write of Season One with Stiles as a werewolf. My original plan was to have the Alpha turn Stiles that night instead of Scott, but I ended up going another route. This story will not be a direct retelling as some things have changed based on the fact that Stiles has been turned, but I will eventually be touching on all (or most of) the major points from the first season. Also, some events take place out of order.

-

Aaaaaaaaand another season 1 retelling! I did say I'm obsessed with those.

Even tho I didn't watch the movie, I DD see one of movie poster about it, so here it is, a fic cover inspired by the movie poster of "Werewolf" by Robert Eggers.

In the back, you can see a little paragraph about werewolves, as I would do for every page before anything important in case it WAS a real book, kinda like an easteregg, especially since in history, there's a lot of different stories and versions of what a "werewolf" was. (For example, did you know the Irish werewolf wasn't seen as a monster, but as the guardian and protector of children, wounded men and lost persons? They were called faoladh or conroicht. No idea how to pronounce that.)

(honest to God, I know more than I should about werewolves cause one night I fell into a rabbit hole about it while searching the etymology of the world)

If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine

i don’t know what kinda voodoo @sparassiss has but ideas spring up and i just throw them at her

OH what if… and now that i’m thinking about it it sounds stupid but i’m gonna continue anyways

Stiles has a playlist for Derek. in the sense that..

Stiles maybe had music to recommend to Derek. like after finding out Derek’s music taste, he brought it upon himself to show Derek artists HE THINKS Derek should get into.

the start of the playlist was truly FOR Derek. Stiles had put plenty of artists, different kinds of genres, tempos, etc with the intention of sharing it with Derek. but at some point, the playlist started to veer off into songs that made Stiles THINK of Derek. so like upbeat or different kinds of songs down the list start turning into love ballads, songs about stars and moon, yearning, etc etc.

and Derek asks him like “hey, i thought you were making me a playlist? what happened?” Stiles lies and says he’s still working on it. he’s embarrassed, he knows Derek knows that was a lie, he knows he probably stinks of pining and want. but thankfully Derek doesn’t say anything, just nods and maybe at least says he looks forward to it (jokingly)

AND WHAT IF Stiles didn’t realize the playlist was public. it’s now 10 hours long and has some ridiculous playlist name and description (something like “let’s howl at the moon together” or some shit with the description saying “songs 4 Derek”). and of course all of Stiles’ friends/pack follow him on spotify too. and it’s Erica that finds it and comments on it. she’s playful about it at least, mentioning that “you’ve been in your feels lately huh, Stilinski!” she encourages him to just give it to Derek, what’s the worst that could happen. (Derek probably doesn’t follow anyone on spotify so he’s unaware about the playlist) BUT

it’s Jackson who makes the asshole move. Stiles walking into the loft ready for pack night (we love pack night) — there’s a familiar song blasting through bluetooth speakers. Stiles freezes, seeing jackson’s holding up his phone; the screen is on and open to a playlist (“BABY IM HOWLING 4 YOU - songs 4 Derek”). jackson is smirking up at Stiles, a shit-eating glint in his eye. the rest of the pack are jamming out actually, probably not understanding the situation, they’re just vibing to the music. but Stiles looks to Derek and the man is listening to the lyrics intently. his eyes dart up to Stiles across the way and Stiles feels his own heart drop to his gut.

Derek maybe points to the speaker, plainly asking Stiles, “is this my playlist you’ve been working on?”

“it wasn’t finished,” Stiles grumbled, glaring at Jackson as he walks towards them.

“not finished?” Jackson scoffs, “Stiles, there’s like 15 hours worth of music on here!”

Stiles grits again, “it wasn’t finish—“

“i like it,” Derek interrupts, “send it to me.”

Stiles’ mouth gapes, looking up at Derek in disbelief. maybe he tries talking Derek out of it. saying that it’s not perfectly curated, it’s still bad and kind of all over the place, that it needs some refining and editing and Derek tells him, “from what i’ve heard it sounds fine to me. just send it, i’ll listen to the rest of it later” which maybe makes Stiles wonder how much of it has he heard. that maybe Jackson had it on shuffle or picked out one song over another.

either way, Stiles sends it while they’re all sitting around watching a movie. Derek nods at him from across the couch to signify that he received it. Stiles is anxious the rest of the night. he’s the first one out of there when pack night ends

AND a couple days pass. Stiles still anxious about the other night. maybe Derek sends him a screenshot of one of the songs with just a thumbs up emoji. and then a few days after that, Derek ends up giving Stiles a ride home and the playlist is playing through the camaro. they’re driving at night and one of the most yearningest song is playing through the speakers. Stiles is quiet, fingers fidgeting at his jeans, his eyes nervously darting between Derek and the passenger window. his heart must be beating out his chest, loud in Derek’s ear. so much so that Derek reaches over and leaves his hand over Stiles’ and tells him to breathe.

Derek stops at the curb of Stiles’ place. the song just ending as the car turns off AND THEN… this is where my brain goes blank :3
