Works In Perpetual Progress

TEEN WOLF as movie posters 2x11 | "Battlefield"

So he tries to satiate that desire with power over Scott instead. To that obsessive end, Theo also needs to sabotage every relationship Scott has. Everything he does with a pack is a reflection of his unbearable desire for Scott. He claims that he wants the pack because they're all as dark as he is: "I came for the werecoyote, the one whose first instinct is to kill. I came for the banshee, the girl surrounded by death. I came for the dark kitsune, the beta with anger issues. I came for void Stiles! That's the pack I want. Unfortunately, it doesn't include Scott."

Unfortunately. Theo gives himself away. Scott isn't someone he can want.

Meanwhile, his treatment of the pack is about punishing Scott for being so desirable, about making the pack reflect Theo himself, about confirming his choices. Otherwise, he seems disinterested. He claims to want Lydia but dumps her body in the woods that same night. He seems indifferent to the fact that by the time he describes "the pack he wants," Kira is gone and Liam is slated to die that night. The important thing is that Kira and Liam are both killers--or they will be, it's only a matter of time--so they were never gonna be a good fit for Scott, and they'll hurt him, and that's what Scott gets for loving them, and he probably won't love them anyway, not after he sees them like this.

"Did you tell Scott you're planning to kill your mother?" he asks Malia, before assuring, "Don't worry, I'm not judging. I want to help you." He needs Malia to become more of a kin-killer, for Malia to lose Scott because of it. People who kill their families don't get Scott and Scott doesn't get them and that's the way it is. That's the way Theo wants it, actually. He's here to help.

Theo's most revealing treatment is of Stiles, the person whose relationship with Scott is most analogous to his own. They both knew Scott when they were young. Theo needs Stiles to accept that he doesn't need Scott--"you never needed him"--that they're not actually friends--"was he still really your best friend?" Stiles, like Theo, must decide to reject Scott: he doesn't need him, they're not friends, they were never friends, actually, Stiles is better off on his own. No one needs anyone. No one wants anyone. "We're all telling the truth now," Theo claims.

But the boy's a liar.

Summary:

A one-in-obviously-a-million, maybe a billion, chance and Scott had found himself to be the lucky winner. --- AU: Scott meets someone he's been carrying the HEAVIEST crush on for Years on the other side of the world.

If they wanted to take it up a notch, the plot would be pushed by him not being satisfied with the amount of pain he's taking, so he's so used to it that he goes out of his way to feel pain. And this could be manifested in any form. Like him stashing wolfsbane in his room, him sneaking into the hospital to siphon pain from patients without his mom knowing.

Then that habit becomes dangerous, because it affects his everyday life. It becomes so extreme that he literally cannot function without it and that kinda causes a disconnect between him and who he really is; wanting to help people. So it could be more about the pain, and less about helping the person in need.

the bite brought upon an type of pain he had never felt before. an intensity that felt like it was coursing through his arteries with such conviction that they could rupture from within. his vision can't seem to focus on anything and neither could his brain.
