“I’ll likely get far more done in  the group if I’m not distracted watching you with your pen–”

“My–My pen?”

“Pens. Drinking straws. Don’t act like you don’t know,” Derek says darkly.  “You know.”

____________

In which Stiles follows Scott into his Spanish study group, takes one look  at the hot nerd who runs it and then decides to stay… even though he doesn’t  actually speak Spanish.

(Don’t) Work Your Magic by Saori | 6k | T

Stiles is the Hale pack’s emissary in training. He’s good at what he does, and ninety-nine percent of the time he knows what he’s doing. He does. Too bad that one percent is when he permanently links his soul to Derek’s.

Or, not quite a soulmate AU, but it kind of is, which is totally Stiles’ fault.

A Family Portrait In Soft Lightning by Fearful_Little_Thing | 4k | G

Everything was so much easier when  the kids were small. When the kids were small their problems had been small  too. Easily fixed by hugs or hot chocolates, with kisses to boo-boos and ten  minute time outs when they misbehaved.

Now things aren’t so simple and  the problems aren’t so small.

Derek and Stiles love their kids.  It’s just that raising two delinquent teenagers is a lot harder than it  looked.

Adderall and All by IronRoseWriter | 4k | T

From the prompt: Derek can smell amphetemines on Stiles thanks to his  Adderall, but because no one ever thought to sit him down and say “Hey so  Stiles has pretty severe ADHD” he just thinks Stiles does drugs. Cue a super  judgemental misunderstanding.

And After All by red_crate | 5k | T

The world fucking ended while Stiles was clear across the country from his  dad. He trekked that distance on his own, surviving the elements, fighting  monsters and scavengers. Stiles rescued a goddamn werewolf who ended up  saving him in return.

Blue Eyes by KFlynn | 4k | T

It had all begun with Stiles slowly driving his Jeep along the road, in  the direction of his home…..

or the story where Stiles finds a wolf Derek, takes him back home and  cuddles with him, only to wake up with naked human Derek the next morning;  then they have breakfast and an important talk where they both realise that  they’re in love with each other.

Can’t Start a Fire Without a Spark by Nerdy_fangirl_57 | 9k | T

After the whole ordeal with the nogitsune Stiles struggles with proving to  himself that he can be good again. He starts learning to control his spark in  hopes that he could be helpful to the pack once he manages to channel it’s  power. Everyone thinks it’s a great idea and are willing to help him anyway  they can, but Scott, Scott doesn’t see the point in it.

It’s not like Stiles’ tiny spark could ever be powerful enough to be an  actual asset to the pack.

Stiles just wants a chance to prove himself.

Charm Misdirect by froggydarren | 4k | T

There are only so many times that Derek will go along with Peter’s plans.  He swears there is a last one, and it’s pretty likely that this is it. Really,  it should have been the time when he almost got arrested, or some of the  times before.  So when Peter asks Derek to be his wingman in Jungle, Derek says no. And  thinks that that’s the end of it.

He’s wrong.

Collision Course by grimmypuff | 5k | T

Roller Derby and Stiles Stilinski: a pairing that should not exist in nature. Add Derek Hale and somehow it works.

Come To My… by Gonardo | 8k | M

It starts out with Derek meeting a new group of people. One standing out:  Stiles Stilinski. So he may seen a little strange at first, but that’s  alright.

Then they are put together for a project. Derek catches feelings. Cue the  pining.

While Stiles looked at other guys objectively, he pretty much thought he  was straight. Boy he was wrong. Maybe he’s just dereksexual.

Can they figure out their feelings in time.

Defenses by inatshej | 10k | T

“Do you know the Molotov Cocktail  café near the station? I think their pastries are the best. We could go there  this weekend.”

Oh wait.

Oh shit.

Oh fuck. He’s proposed a date.

“Sure,” Stiles agrees easily with a shrug.

Immediate friendzoning.

But did he really get friendzoned just now? Can he get friendzoned when  they aren’t even friends?

Does that make them friends? It would be nice, actually-

god, he just feels so lonely at times.

Derek Hale’s Undercover Summer: How to Attract Your FBI-Partner in These 10 Short  Steps (While Also Killing Bad Guys) by the_problem_with_stardust | 4k | T

Written for jennysparkles’ awesome prompt: Derek wasn’t sure why, but if  his time busting the biggest smuggling- and drug-ring in Northern California  had the chance to become a book or a movie, it would be named ‘Derek Hale’s  Undercover Summer: How to Attract Your FBI-Partner in These 10 Short Steps  (While Also Killing Bad Guys)’. It was ridiculous, how killing people  bare-handed turned into a romantic comedy whenever he looked into Stiles’  eyes.

events  may be different than they appear by icarusinflight | 4k | T

The first time Stiles sees the couple, the hot dude is giving the gorgeous  girl a ride on his back through the main walkway of campus.  It’s pretty dumb

it doesn’t stop him from feeling jealous of them

Feelings He Didn’t Know He Had by StaciNadia | 5k | T

Derek is absolutely not in love with Stiles.

Finding warmth in your arms (I’m not even cold) by Saori | 10k | T

When Stiles and his father move to Beacon Hills, they have to get familiar with new rules. Being a werefox, Stiles sticks out as a thumb in the small town, but thanks for his luck, he’s not the only one. He doesn’t expect that Kira and him will get close to the pack of ‘wolves whose territory they live in, so when they both fall in love with one, it takes him by surprise.

Or, Stiles and Kira are both werefoxes, recently moved into Beacon Hills. They quickly steal their way into the heart of the local werewolf pack.

For  If Dreams Die by veritas_st | 23k | M

“I had a dream about a boy last  night,” Mischief says through a mouthful of pancakes.  His dad points  the spatula at him and he swallows before he says anything else.  “His  name was Derek.  He called me Stiles.  I want to be called that  from now on.”

Forever Young by thegirlnamedcove | 12k | T

“What do you want Laura?” he  groaned, “Why am I up?”

“Because you’re going to pack a bag with whatever’s clean and come with me  back to California,” she fished a folded page out of her back pocket and  handed it over, “Someone is on our territory with a vendetta in mind.”

He accepted the paper and opened it up, smoothing it against the side of  the mattress. It was a picture, printed out from an email, of a deer with a  spiral carved in its side.

Fuel  a Fantasy by Delightful_I_Am | 19k | T

Let it never be said that Stiles wasn’t able to keep his cool when faced  with awkward situations. It’d be right maybe, but it should never be said.

 Stiles gasped and spun around,  eyes finding Derek immediately. The poor guy looked a bit shell-shocked.

 “Oh my god! Dude!” Stiles  flailed his arms and lunged forward, tripping a bit and catching himself on  Derek’s arms. “You have to fake date me!”

 “What?”

Hold the Cheese by sheerpoetry | 3k | T

Derek wasn’t sure how he’d gotten himself into this particular  situation. Sure, he’d gotten used to the pack in his space. But Stiles? He  hadn’t gotten used to Stiles.

Prompt:  Fluff. Adorable Derek, maybe some pining, Stiles being his flailing, sassy  self. Lydia and Laura would totally be a power couple. Laura is an awesome  big sister. Stiles as a potential Emissary.

I got the first half, at least? ;) Hope you enjoy it!

How Long Will I Love You? by vaguelyobscene | 6k | T

Stiles is finally marrying his boyfriend of 8 years and Lydia makes a surprisingly  sweet offer on his wedding day, but she’s not the only one who seems  determined to make him cry today.

Derek/Stiles | PG | ~4k | AO3

Summary:  There are only so many times that Derek will go along with Peter’s plans. He swears there is a last one, and it’s pretty likely that this is it. Really, it should have been the time when he almost got arrested, or some of the times before.

So when Peter asks Derek to be his wingman in Jungle, Derek says no. And thinks that that’s the end of it.

He’s wrong.

A/N: Written for DancingLassie’s prompt in the @sterekexchange. 

“No.”

“Derek, come on, you know you want to go. You’ll have fun!”

“No.”

“You owe me,” Peter says, an amused lilt to his tone, but his voice firm.

“No, I don’t,” Derek replies, refusing to look up from the book he’s reading. “I am not getting dragged into your schemes again. Go find another wingman.”

“Laura’s refusing to go to Jungle,” Peter says, and it almost sounds like he’s pouting.

Derek chuckles, because he knows precisely why Laura claimed she wouldn’t set foot in the club as a customer again. He was there when she got accosted by the queens the last time, and when they basically adopted her for the night after she got hit on by the one stupid straight guy who thought it was a good idea to harass women in a gay club. Derek also knows that the guy is permanently banned, and that Laura was asked to join their security team after she … encouraged him to leave. But Derek still remembers the complaints about glitter that went on for weeks after that night, said glitter courtesy of the queens.

“Then go alone. Don’t get arrested. Make sure the kid you’re after this time is actually legal,” Derek says as he flips to the next page in his book.

“He is,” Peter says after a beat, sounding a little hesitant. “I’m pretty sure he is. He said he was.”

“So you already talked to him, what do you need me for?” Derek looks up, setting the book down in his lap. “I was the one who almost ended up in the back of the Sheriff’s cruiser last time, when you decided to set your sights on a kid who was still in high school.”

Peter has the decency to look a little sheepish for a few beats, but Derek’s eyes narrow with suspicion at the smirk that follows.

“Is this one a BHHS student?”

He knows everything he needs to when Peter’s answer takes a beat too long, and when the sheepish look intensifies.

“No.”

“Lie,” Derek says flatly. “I’m not going.”

He turns back to his book, and figures it will take about ten seconds before Peter starts trying again.

“I’ll tell Laura who suggested her for the security job there,” Peter says, his voice perfectly flat and lacking emotion, but his eyes narrowed when Derek looks up from his book.

Strains of the Heart

Stiles has always worked with Scott for end-of-year projects. Only this year, Scott wants to work with his new girlfriend Allison, leaving Stiles without a partner. The only person not already partnered up is Derek Hale, first chair violin who has played for his sister Laura and only his sister Laura since joining the academy.

when the moonlight hits your eyes

for @froggydarren

“Do you have any holiday plans?” The question is out of Derek’s mouth before he’s even all the way through the door.

Stiles looks up from one of the ancient books he has spread across the floor. He sticks a post-it underneath the sentence he was on and rolls onto his back. “Nope. My dad is going somewhere and he won’t give me any hints.” Craning his head back so he’s looking at Derek upside down, he frowns. “It’s weird because I usually can annoy all kinds of information out of him. I must be getting rusty.”

When Glow magazine outs MLB starting pitcher Derek Hale, his older sister gets him a bodyguard until the news blows over.

Stiles Stilinski is on a leave of absence from the military after his childhood friend dies in combat. When his best friend asks for a favor, he’s reluctant to accept the responsibility of another person’s life in his hands anytime soon.

Summary:

An incident occurs at a rave where a group of people end up with superpowers (the same hand-waving bullshit that gives anyone superpowers).

They, of course, decide to use their powers for good–with the blessing of local law enforcement, which gains them a few enemies, mostly other people at that rave who also ended up with superpowers but have decided to be evil instead. Also, Derek is trying to control his powers since the last time he was the weakest link. However, his partner is Stiles, and it’s hard to control his powers (and emotions) when it comes to Stiles, especially when Stiles is in danger.

Summary

Prompt: College AU in which Derek is the TA of a history seminar, and Stiles is a competitive shithead freshman who likes to argue just to argue. One day, after tracking Derek to a coffee shop to argue about his grade, Stiles realizes that Derek’s actually a swell dude and they bond over common interests.

In which Lydia is a ruthless walking fortune cookie, Scott is exposed to the relationship-curing potential of ménages-à-trois, and more importantly, Stiles is convinced he’s pissed off the wrong deity in Valhalla because the closest thing he gets to action is the weekly — and deadly — debates he has with his grumpy TA from History 201: Introduction to Vikings. All of this to Erica’s enjoyment.

Stiles is not a wolf, but he has the heart of one.
