And Two For Flinching (Hugs that Is) by LogicalParafox

For a werewolf, Derek keeps a very far distance from others. Stiles can definitely understand why but also worries about how much being touch-starved can harm a werewolf.

He’s down the steps in no time, rushing out into the parking lot just as Stiles is slamming the car to a stop haphazardly. His heartbeat is spiraling now, pounding and beating almost straight through his chest, and Derek runs to him, meeting him as Stiles pushes open the car door. He's itching to hold him, his bones aching with the need, feeling like he'll jump out of his skin if he doesn't get his hands on Stiles in the next five seconds. "I'm fine, I'm okay, I promise," Stiles rushes out in a mumble, like he knows how worked up Derek's been. He can probably feel their bond as well. "Got caught up." That's an understatement. There's blood seeping through Stiles' shirt where he slouches on the seat, and he's sweating, his pale face wincing as he glances warily up at Derek to gauge his reaction. - Stiles comes home after going missing for several hours, bloody and hurt. Derek takes his pain, holds him, and loves him, before someone interrupts them and tries to ruin the moment.

Natural Born Werewolves by Warlock_Nerd

Derek tells his pack some key differences between Born and Bitten werewolves, in doing so, he reveals some things about himself that he has kept hidden. Now with the secrets out, the pack make it their mission to make sure Derek feels as comfortable as possible with them being together as a pack. :3 And/Or - 5 Times Derek initiated physical touch with the pack and 1 Time Derek initiated it with his Mate. :3

We Are Here by suburbanmotel

Derek is touch starved. Stiles has beautiful hands. And so it goes.

The Touch I Crave by Helloloveyes

Stiles had practiced non stop and finally managed to will the mountain ash from the floor back into the flask in his hand! He was so damn happy that he instinctively showed his hand to get a high-five, and Derek interlaced their fingers instead. “Well done,” Derek said with a proud smile and Stiles could feel his whole face heat up. Apparently high five equals hand holding for Derek. -.- Or the one where Derek misreads Stiles cues, or does he?

Touch by always_addicted

Derek didn't realise how much he missed being touched until the first time Stiles leaned on him.

His Accidental Touch by Hidden_Orchard

It happened accidentally, the first time. All the many and varied times afterwards, Stiles would hold his hands up and admit full responsibility for. But that first time – pure chance. Derek needs a cuddle. Stiles - generous man that he is - would never deny Derek something he needs.

A habit by Zeros83

Derek got into the habit of letting Stiles play with his hands. It's totally going great. Not backfiring at all. Nope!

Casus Belli by Dexterous_Sinistrous

“I’m supposed to take care of you,” Derek started. “Shut up,” Stiles stated with no heat. He looked up at Derek. “When are you going to get it that I like taking care of you too?” Derek weakly shook his head. “I’m not good enough, Stiles.” Stiles’ features sunk. “Don’t I get to decide that?” He stood, dropping the towel he had been using to help move the blanket. “Just… get in bed, Derek. We can talk later.” Derek remembered touching Stiles’ wrist. “I should have died that night we met.” “Not when I have anything to do with it,” Stiles replied. ~*~ The one where "touch him and die" is a promise both Derek and Stiles live by

Electricity In the Contact by ladyblahblah 

In which Derek has been invited to the Greater Pacific Northwest Alpha Symposium (that's not what it's called, Stiles, stop saying that), and showing up unattached would mean an arranged marriage. When the rest of the pack objects, he agrees to let Stiles come along to pose as his mate. Derek is reasonably sure that he's not going to make it out of this weekend alive.

Feel it like a fever, burning through the night by LunaCanisLupus_22

“That was my favourite fern,” Deaton declares and Stiles glances at Scott for clarification that such a ridiculous statement just came out of his boss’ mouth. “You could have just told me not to touch it,” Stiles points out sensibly, squirming inside with something he refuses to believe might be guilt. Not about the dumb plant, but the instant devastation he’s currently overwhelmingly and inescapably capable of. He can destroy with one touch now. This is going to complicate things so much. Or the one where Stiles tries to do the noble self-sacrificing thing: gains a new power, a spectral skin colour and basically ruins his own life. 0/10 would not recommend.

Touch Starved by demonicfaerie2009, seaweedwater 

Set after S1E4 'Magic Bullet', Derek realizes that for the first time in years, someone's lingering touch doesn't hurt. Stiles' touch becomes something he craves, almost to a point where Derek will go to strange lengths to get Stiles' hands on him.

The One You Choose by Asterekmess (Livinginfictions)

Stiles hadn’t seen Scott in over a week, except for glances he caught during school hours.

Is This Unwise by Innaz (zanni_scaramouche)

Derek expects Stiles to react poorly, maybe even file a formal complaint and that’s gonna suck, but Derek won’t say shit cause he knows he deserves it, so he prepares an apology before Stiles has even turned around. What he doesn’t expect is Stiles to fucking drop.

I'll Always Wait for You by whiry

After everything that has happened in his life, Derek finds it hard to replicate physical intimacy with anyone, including his pack. Leave it to Stiles who, after being told he's Derek's anchor, has made it his duty to be everything that Derek needs. And he means everything. +++ or, 5 times Stiles tries to be physically intimate with Derek and the 1 time Derek makes up for all the other times

a little advice for aspiring fires by The Byger (Byacolate) 

Regardless of his sadly lacking social circle, Stiles was going to have to get some physical contact or he was going to explode. Seriously. It’d be messy and Derek would probably become even more emotionally constipated having to clean up little bits of Stiles from his pristine walls and furniture.

Derek's Most Prized Possession by SterekLoverForEver

That dumb bitch. A stupid fucking witch. She just had to come to Beacon Hills after things had been quiet. Luring the pack out thinking it was Stiles as if he’d asked the pack to meet at the preserve in the middle of the night. The pack stands, surrounding the witch in a circle. She looks at the pack before picking her victim. She runs to attack Stiles but Derek jumps in front of him at the last second. “Derek! NO!” Stiles yells but it’s too late. The witch looks stunned before grinning; she cackles before punching Derek in the chest. A bolt of lightning shoots out of her hands and into Derek. He slumps to the floor growling. The pack runs to their alpha to stop the witch from doing more harm. She stands over Derek. “You’ll kill your mate and your pack, you won’t be able to control the chaos inside. Too bad I won’t be here to see it.” She shrugs her shoulders before snapping her fingers and disappearing. The pack looks around to see if they can find her, when they turn up blank they turn back to Derek

The Animal Inside (Distance makes the wolf grow fonder) by rororowyourboat

Stiles comes back from a month in Poland to... a half-naked, non-verbal, semi-feral Derek. He's determined to help Derek get back to normal, and if that involves cuddles... who is he to say no?

The Cursed Wolf by SinQueen69

2023 Suggestion Anon Wanted: Feral alpha Derek, who has been cursed and got in that feral state. The only way to lift the curse is the "sacrifice" of a pure heart. And Virgin Omega Stiles is willing to help him but the ritual has to be a mating run.

The Boy and the Beast by Dira Sudis (dsudis)

In which events in Beacon Hills go rather differently from the start, and a Beauty and the Beast (ish) story ensues. (Scott is not a teacup and no one sings about their feelings.)

Recognize Me? by christinchen

Derek gets kidnapped by hunters, by the time he's rescued he's feral and runs off into the woods. Stiles goes after him... of course he does!

Dumb Luck (or maybe something more) by emsmittens

When Stiles was faced with a very feral, very naked Derek, he thought he would be lucky to leave the situation with his life and pride attached. He got more, so much more.

How Is Your Heart? by Sylvesterelle

Derek thought it’d feel like weightlessness. That’s how it felt after the fire - like so many of the strings grounding him had been cut, like he was one strong breeze away from oblivion. So when the unthinkable happens and the unbreakable breaks, Derek doesn't understand what he's feeling. Doesn't understand that instead of weightlessness, there would be nothing but weight. The weight of his pain, of his loss, of the sudden, inexorable truth of his own isolation. And then Derek doesn't understand anything at all. Or: the AU where Derek goes feral after Laura's death and only the power of ~true love~ can bring him back.

You're My Sanctuary by lilmissdaydreamer

The Argent Wolf Sanctuary. It’s been Stiles’ dream since he was five years old to work with the wolves, ever since his mother took him up there to see the magnificent creatures on one of their ‘full moon runs’ that the Sanctuary does once a month. The wolves are beautiful and much larger than Stiles would’ve thought, or at least, the newest wolf is. The owner had said he’s a special breed. Stiles just didn’t realize quite how special he is.

The Animal Inside by churkey

“Good evening, Stiles. Always a pleasure,” Peter drawled—how did he even get Stiles' number?—“I feel it is my duty, as your most beloved packmate, to warn you that Derek's gone feral and is heading in your direction. I'm sure you'll be fine.”

You Were Built On Ashes by DeancebraArt, wanderingeyre

The thing in the corner is huge, easily the largest wolf Stiles has ever seen with deep black fur that helps it blend into the gloom of the corner. The wolf opens its eyes and they flash blue. Stiles trips over his own feet in his haste to get across the room, righting himself as he goes, and falls to his knees on the floor beside the wolf.

Don't Feed the Wolves by Amazonia_8

Stiles took the dare, because what else was he supposed to do when the whole lacrosse team was chanting his name? Even though the werewolf pack had left Beacon Hills years ago, nobody was stupid enough to set foot on the Hale property. Except, apparently, Stiles. Now he's got a feral werewolf following him around town with the sole purpose of claiming Stiles as his own.

Lessons in Humanity by exclamation

Fleeing from werewolves, Stiles comes face to face with Derek, a werewolf human in shape but animal in his mind. Stiles is terrified of being killed, but it seems Derek has decided Stiles would make a suitable mate. Unfortunately, his idea of a romantic gift is a dead animal on the doorstep. Stiles must help Derek remember what it is to be human... and figure out how to explain his new werewolf stalker to his dad.

Wooden Walls by terminaltongues

Stiles is reaching out before he can think things through. His fingers trace the hardened line of the man’s shifted face. “I wish you didn’t have these,” he says running a fingertip over Derek’s canines. So I could kiss you. The words get stuck in his throat and for once he stops them before they can leave his mouth. OR Stiles finds a feral werewolf in the Hale house the summer before he goes to college.

Soothing the Savage Beast by missmagoo 

Stiles had always hoped it wouldn’t come to this. He knows he has to be sold once he comes of age, but being bought at auction by a crazy billionaire as a gift for his feral nephew? That's worse than any deep, dark fear he could have ever imagined.

Stand Fast in Your Enchantments by DevilDoll, orphan_account

"Stiles knew damn well what a pissed-off wolf sounded like, and every hair on the back of his neck was telling him that somewhere in this room was a very pissed-off werewolf." An AU in which Derek is feral, Stiles is magical, and they eat a lot of fast food.

Throw Away the Key by mommymuffin

Stiles knew it was stupid to go to the hunters’ headquarters all by himself, so when he finds himself caught, he can really only blame himself. It shouldn't surprise Stiles when the situation quickly goes from bad to worse as the hunters throw him to a feral werewolf waiting to tear him apart. Sucks that it's Derek, though.

Feral by melofttroll

Scott’s yelling now as the Jeep comes to a halt, and Stiles ignores him as he clambers from the seat. The skid turned the Jeep completely around, and his headlights are pointed at something that is decidedly not dog-ish, or bear-ish, but very, very human. And by the shuddering breaths coming from the man’s chest, very much alive. Feral!Derek, Sterek AU

Lock All The Doors Behind You by entanglednow

He has no idea what you're supposed to say when you find one of your...werewolf acquaintances, completely out of their mind, growling like they're about to see what your insides taste like. There's no handbook for this. Stiles is thinking that if he survives he might write one.

Hermit and the Wildman by Green 

Since coming into his magic, Stiles lives a life of seclusion deep in the Preserve. Derek comes to him, half-feral and in trouble. Maybe Stiles needs Derek just as much as Derek seems to need him.

Feral by CelestialVoid

Stiles wakes up to a broken window and a creature in the tree outside his bedroom window.

Safe Mind by LadyDrace 

Derek goes missing for a while and comes back full wolf. Only problem is that his mind has gone wolf too, and for some reason the only one he'll allow near him... is Stiles.

Waiting by isthatbloodonhisshirt (wasterella)

Not wanting to think on it too much, Stiles took a step forward and passed his hand between the bars, moving the bleeding side closer to Derek’s mouth. “Not too close, he bites.” Stiles snatched his hand away just as Derek had been about to lick at it. The snarl he got in response was not comforting. “He what?” Stiles asked nervously, turning to Deaton. The man looked a little amused. “Don’t worry, only if he doesn’t like you.” “Well, he probably hates me, now!” Stiles insisted, turning back to Derek. He looked extremely displeased.
