a divine move

So as I lie here in bed at 5:53am after being awake all night chasing my demons in circles, I got to do a lot of thinking.

I was not on Tumblr for 6 entire months, and my OCD caused me to have to go back to the last post I saw on January 1st. And it occurred to me as I feigned sleep that, barring a very select few (whom we all love dearly), there was a severe lack of Sterek content on my dash, specifically of the "art" variety (ie digital, manips, screencaps, etc).

This saddens me greatly and you know what? I also need to get back to writing so consider this both an attempt to get more art for the fandom and me getting off my ass.

I am proposing a deal for artists: for any artist who creates sterek content in any capacity (except fic) from today (June 6th) to July 6th, if you tag me or send me an ask with the link (if you don't wanna tag me which, totally fair), I will write a one-shot based on it. Kind of like a mini reverse bang.

I can't promise it will be amazing. I can't promise it will be long. But I can promise that I will do it and it will be minimum 2000 words. And if you do 30 pieces in the 30 days, I will write you 30 pieces, straight up. Don't test me (or do, means more art of our boys).

And this is legit a no-lose situation. The art is not for me, it is for the community. And you get a fic out of the art you did for your entertainment.

So yeah, if anyone is down for this, feel free to send me your NEW Sterek art and you will get a one-shot. As mentioned, it does have to be new as of June 6th, 2026, and it can be artwork in any medium - pencil, digital, manips, edits, videos, whatever. Only caveat is absolutely NO AI. I don't care if you think your art isn't good enough, anything is better than AI.

To the artists who have been and continue to feed us: we see you, we love you, and I would write thousands of words for you if you asked <3

Yeah, that's it, back to pretending to sleep.

he’s chilling in the loft with stiles one day as they catch up. he’s expressing his frustration at his lack of inspiration, starting with the simple sentence “i’ve been in a rut lately.” but stiles mishears him. he thinks he said “i’ve been in rut lately,” thinking alpha werewolf derek is in rut.

stiles’ eyes widen as he stammers out, “uh, you need some help with that, big guy?” derek nods appreciatively. help would be much needed. he’d like to write another chapter this week—

suddenly stiles kisses him out of nowhere, seemingly. but derek kisses back easily, and one thing leads to another, and it’s only after a couple rounds of very enthusiastic sex that the miscommunication clears up between them with some red faces and bashful looks.

it doesn’t prevent them from going for another round or two, though.

Am I ever going to get tired of drawing this guy? Probably not.

Am I taking out all of my OWN angsty feelings on him? Absolutely yes.

Am I going to fix the blotchy shading? Nahhhhh.

This one started to feel overworked so I had to let it go a little earlier than I planned, but DANG does it feel good to draw again. (And nobody point out that his piercing keeps switching sides. It lives on whichever side I want to draw it on, okay?)
