The Wolf and the Fox Sterek AU for my dear Becky.

Derek always says that he should have known that Stiles was a fox, of course, how had that not been as glaringly obvious as possible - and Stiles always gives him a crooked grin in return, pokes Derek in the ribs and says smartly, what’s that supposed to mean?

But Stiles loves it, loves the feeling of his skin stretching taut as his muscles bunch and shift and his too-large hands curl into paws almost small and delicate. He’s not nearly close enough in size to Derek’s wolf, not nearly as strong or with the same kind of stamina. But he likes to pretend he is. Likes to tangle himself between Derek’s front and hind legs to trip him up, heart racing at the sound of Derek’s jaws snapping at the back of his neck as Derek falls into pursuit.

Sometimes Stiles will change back mid chase, bare feet pounding against the forest floor and cheeks flushed red with excitement, hair all askew. It never takes long for Derek to catch up, to throw his solid arms around Stiles’ naked shoulders and yank him back to a full stop, their bodies tumbling to the ground as Stiles laughs and laughs and laughs into the warm press of Derek’s mouth against his own.

Stiles doesn’t heal quite as fast as Derek can, and that makes Derek fret and mutter worried curses under his breath as he tends to Stiles’ (minor) scrapes and bruises. It’s all too easy for Derek to gently manhandle Stiles onto the couch, Stiles’ body all soft and pliant, tuckered out from the day’s chase. 

“You worry too much,” Stiles says, voice sleep-tinged as he arches his throat and tilts his head back onto the pillows, lets Derek touch and feel and make sure Stiles’ bones are sewing back together as they should.

He hears Derek sigh, feels the couch dip beneath the weight of Derek’s body as he settles in close. Stiles hums, a pleased smile tugging at his mouth, eyes heavy-lidded as he snuffles his face against Derek’s throat and finds the heat trapped there, the mixture of sweat and spice and the richness of earth still clinging to Derek’s skin.

Derek sets his large palm against the back of Stiles’ neck, holds Stiles’ wriggling body still against his own.

“I’mma fox, remember?” Stiles mumbles, words slurring thickly around his tongue.

Derek huffs out a soft laugh, drags his fingernails up the shape of Stiles’ scalp.

“Is that a fact,” he muses, rests his thumb at that tender spot behind Stiles’ ear and Stiles goes predictably boneless against Derek’s side, a blissed out whine stirring in the back of his throat.

Derek smiles, allows himself to sink deeper into the cushions, chin tilting against Stiles’ forehead. 

I’ve said this to my non-techie friends countless times. It’s no secret that being able to code makes you a better job applicant, and a better entrepreneur. Hell, one techie taught a homeless man to code and now that man is making his first mobile application.

Learning to code elevates your professional life, and makes you more knowledgeable about the massive changes taking place in the technology sector that are poised to have an immense influence on human life.

(note: yes I realize that 3/5 of those links were Google projects)

But most folks are intimidated by coding. And it does seem intimidating at first. But peel away the obscurity and the difficulty, and you start to learn that coding, at least at its basic level, is a very manageable, learnable skill.

There are a lot of resources out there to teach you. I’ve found a couple to be particularly successful. Here’s my list of resources for learning to code, sorted by difficulty:

Novice

Never written a line of code before? No worries. Just visit one of these fine resources and follow their high-level tutorials. You won’t get into the nitty-gritty, but don’t worry about it for now:

Dash - by General Assembly

CodeAcademy

w3 Tutorials (start at HTML on the left sidebar and work your way down)

Intermediate

Now that you’ve gone through a handful of basic tutorials, it’s time to learn the fundamentals of actual, real-life coding problems. I’ve found these resources to be solid:

Khan Academy

CodeAcademy - Ruby, Python, PHP

Difficult

If you’re here, you’re capable of building things. You know the primitives. You know the logic control statements. You’re ready to start making real stuff take shape. Here are some different types of resources to turn you from someone who knows how to code, into a full-fledged programmer.

Programming problems

Sometimes, the challenges in programming aren’t how to make a language do a task, but just how to do the task in general. Like how to find an item in a very large, sorted list, without checking each element. Here are some resources for those types of problems

Talentbuddy

TopCoder

Web Applications

If you learned Python, Django is an amazing platform for creating quick-and-easy web applications. I’d highly suggest the tutorial - it’s one of the best I’ve ever used, and you have a web app up and running in less than an hour.

Django Tutorial

I’ve never used Rails, but it’s a very popular and powerful framework for creating web applications using Ruby. I’d suggest going through their guide to start getting down-and-dirty with Rails development.

Rails Guide

If you know PHP, there’s an ocean of good stuff out there for you to learn how to make a full-fledged web application. Frameworks do a lot of work for you, and provide quick and easy guides to get up and running. I’d suggest the following:

Cake PHP Book

Symfony 2 - Get Started

Yii PHP - The Comprehensive Guide

Conclusion

If there’s one point I wanted to get across, it’s that it is easier than ever to learn to code. There are resources on every corner of the internet for potential programmers, and the benefits of learning even just the basics are monumental.

If you know of any additional, great resources that aren’t listed here, please feel free to tweet them to me @boomeyer.

Hi anon! I think you should definitely call your residence hall and talk to someone in the dining program (or send them an email) about your dietary needs and see if there are foods that you can eat in their meal plan. Most college dining halls are buffet-style, so you’re right, it would likely be smarter not to get the meal plan and to make your own meals. But you should definitely check to see what is available. Like maybe there’s an option to buy a number of “meals” and not the complete plan so if you’re too tired to cook you can always pop into a dining hall and get something.

Here are some resources for gluten free, I figured it would be easiest to start from there and whittle out your other intolerances from within these:

Student’s Gluten Free Cookbook for Dummies

Gluten Free on a College Student’s Budget (blog)

Living the College Life Gluten Free! (blog)

Gluten Free on a Budget

400+ Gluten Free Recipes that Won’t Break The Bank

Yeah, there really aren’t many of them, are there? *pouts*

Looks Can Be Deceiving- literaryoblivion (literaryoblivion) Omega!Derek shares his heat with his first Alpha- this is so sweet and tender, and the end is so fluffy I swear my insides turned into cottton candy!

Ready- ashley_ingenious (theluckyouvegot) I have a weakness for Stiles calling Derek sweetheart, and boy does this fic tick that box. Hard. Praise kink and needy Derek all the way.

Dont Try to Stop, Baby, Hold Me Tight- cineramadome This is beautiful and Stiles makes me laugh to no end- case and point: “Wait, he’s not a virgin anymore. This substantially decreases the odds of ritual sacrifice, awesome.” That is so totally Stiles after his first time, let’s face it. I really love this one. 

Shock To Your System- honorarylady (honorarylady) Needy Derek. Posessive Stiles. Stiles calling Derek a “good boy”. Yup, I’m sold.

Favorite Bottom Boy- officerstilinskihale (officerstilinskihale) Okay, just do yourself a favour and read this. Stilinski twins knotting Derek, but WITH A WHOLE BONUS SIDE OF DEREK AND STILES FEELS. Seriously, I did not expect this fic to go they way it went and I adore it. 

Sorry I don’t have more, nonnie, but hopefully these will do for now!

There’s also this rec list from bleep0bleep whose recs are always worth taking a look at ;)

The amazing people from the Team Sterek and McLahey  [ yeah we don’t like Scisaac that much] on facebook asked me for a rec of the trope:  Stiles Stilinski Has a Big Dick. I blame this gifset and also Dylan’s behaviour. Enjoy!

I wanna take a ride on your  Sheepnamedpig 21k -  Stiles is…endowed. Derek…likes it.

Or the fic where everyone tries to warn Derek about Stiles dick but Derek doesn’t really want to hear it, and when he finally gets his hands on it [ and his everything else] he can’t really function right.

swallow me down raw, like you mean it  bleep0bleep 7k -  Derek isn’t quite sure what to do, but he can’t look away from the way Stiles’ mouth moves while he talks, and then Stiles’ shirt rides up a little with a particular wild gesture, revealing an expanse of pale skin. The comment I have these in red reverberates in his mind, and now Derek is frozen, imagining the man before him clad in nothing but a pair of lacy red panties.

So many of my kinks, big dick Stiles, they both wearing panties, rimming, bottom!Derek, amazing smut!

i don’t believe in fairy tales (but i believe in you and me)  callunavulgari 3k -  Derek scrolls to the next picture. Stops. Blinks. For a moment, they just freeze. He can see Stiles’ hand hesitating just next to his out of the corner of his eye, stopped mid-air, like he was reaching to take the phone back. Stiles’ heart is loud — so fucking loud — in the quiet of the loft, drowning out Derek’s own heartbeat and the many varied sounds coming in through the cracked window.

“So,” Stiles says, voice wobbly and pitched high in what’s probably mortification. “That’s my penis.”

Seriously I’m such a slut for cockslut Derek, Size queen Derek and unabashedly bottom Derek. Ugh perfection.

Sugar Daddy?    EloquentSavage 8k - Busy, attractive, professional male seeks male artist, musician, or college student for mutually beneficial live-in arrangement. Compensation fair and generous. Must be intelligent, enlightened, quiet, and useful.Stiles meets the ad’s requirements, easily, but is he crazy enough to answer it? Is Derek crazy enough to follow through?orPrompt fill porn with just a little plot. Cute, funny ending, a tiny bit of angst.

I love craighlist fics, everything can go wrong and at least in the fic it doesn’t. Also, really sexy and cute.

No Glove, No Love? -  Trenchcoat Hunter (Reedt) 1k-  “These are too small for me.” “Too SMALL?!”

I have to say that the first time I saw this I laughed, a lot. Scratch that I’m still laughing, it’s very sexy thought.

+2

Get Lucky  Sexonfire24 2k -  There are two things about Derek Hale that you should know. Thing one is that there a lot of things about Derek that people just assume. The second one is that he has like, no luck.

Shamelless self promotion because why not? Maybe I’ll write the smut part of it *wink wink, nudge, nudge*

Aaaaand, I’m not badmooonrising anymore, good ol’ Alis is bistiles now! 

Here’s one more part of the Fic Rec List! There’s only one more left!

Read, enjoy, and don’t forget to comment on fics! Also please, reblog this post, if possible!

Derek snaps his fingers and glares into Stiles’ eyes. “You say you’re not the same, but – there you fucking go, acting just like yourself.” Stiles bristles. “Oh, right. Because you know me so fucking well, don’t you?” “Better than you seem to think,” he mutters under his breath in response, and Stiles gets even more incensed. “Pushing me up against walls, shoving my head into steering wheels,” he shrugs his shoulders, glares, “some real heart to hearts we’ve had!” “Holding me up in eight feet of water when I was paralyzed, nearly cutting my arm off for me to save my life. Doesn’t seem so fucking shallow to me, Stiles.”

Counting to Infinity by artenon

When Derek goes deaf, he finds himself going to Stiles for help. Stiles does.

Somewhere In Between by amazingpages

Derek’s been letting his job dictate his life ever since he was promoted from freelance photographer to official travel photographer. In his five years of travel, he’s built relationships in countries all across the globe, yet he still returns home after each job as lonely as ever. When he decides to try out the pen pal site Laura recommends to him, he doesn’t know what to expect. Derek isn’t prepared for Stiles, a small town guy with big dreams of seeing the world. And he certainly isn’t prepared to fall in love with him. He has to remind himself that this is just a pen pal thing and not to get carried away. It’s not like Stiles could ever like him back. Right?

The Guard and Red by andavs

Derek moves back to Beacon Hills after twelve years in New York and finds that the city has a superhero problem, his sister has a co-op problem, he has a neighbor problem, and he and Stiles spend a lot of time hanging from a fake rock and yelling at each other at seven in the morning.

The Rest Is Unwritten by mikkimouse

Once upon a time, the werewolf king and queen invited five fairies to the christening of their only son. The fairies bestowed the boy with gifts—beauty, grace, wit, and the most adorable teeth in all the land. But before the fifth fairy could give her gift, a wicked fairy from the other Court arrived and cast a terrible curse on the baby prince. He would have a life full of tragedies, she declared, and die young, of a broken heart. The king and queen were beside themselves with grief. It was very old, powerful magic, so there was little they could do to break it. However, the fifth fairy had yet to give her gift. The curse could not be broken, she told them, but it could be altered. She bestowed upon the prince the gift of perseverance, so that he would never lose his will to live, even in the face of countless tragedies. And when he found the one who would stand by his side and face those tragedies with him without fail, that is when the curse would be broken. Because the fairy knew there was nothing in all the world more powerful than true love. Not even a wicked fairy’s curse.
