STETER BANG 2021

Of Flesh and Bone, by @asstrongasyouthink, with art by @mock-arts

Peter takes an itty bitty break from being stone to ride Stiles into the sunset. Then she goes back to being stone for the rest of the story. Stiles has some gender feelings about it.

Frame Thy Fearful Symmetry by @macabremoose, with art by shaxper

Peter swallows, tensing slightly. “I don’t know how to play.

“Liar, liar,” The Nogitsune says, leaning backwards, amused. “Lie again, and we’ll set you on fire.”

Becoming Brave by @vanessawolfie, with art by @g-love99-art

How would Peter’s healing and character progress have gone if he hadn’t been all alone in his head for all those years? Where is everybody else?

What really happened?

How will they get out?

Falling Like The Stars by @for-the-love-of-wolves, with art by @nacreousgore

Stiles is just trying to handle his life after being kidnapped and tortured by people who wanted to teach his Dad a lesson. He struggles a lot due to PTSD, but he is trying to do his best to get out of bed in the morning. One night, Stiles goes up to the rooftop of his apartment building, to see the stars. Instead, he sees a man standing dangerously close to the edge, looking down. This is how Stiles meets Peter Hale, a scarred man who lost his whole family in a fire and now deals with depression as well as hallucinations. They meet by chance and soon find out, that they have a lot in common - like the overwhelming need to bring their tormenters to justice, no matter what it's going to take.

“Have you seen Stiles?” Peter asked his nephew, standing in the doorway of the loft.

Derek frowned at him, a more noticeable glower than usual. “No.”

After the Nogitsune was expelled, Stiles disappeared. Peter noticed. This is their story.

This Same Wilderness (In Which We Dwell) by @haruthecriminologist with art by @azogwhoreignerstilinski

It’s Stiles Stilinski, super nerd, FBI intern, genius detective (in his words), and Scott’s best friend, that goes missing. The person the pack finds isn’t the same Stiles, not anymore. He is different, kind of like how he was after the nogitsune, but worse, more. It was like they didn’t know him at all.

And he had a child.

“Let’s not talk about that haunted look you have in your eyes. I’ve seen it before.” Peter stood up properly and walked towards where Stiles was sitting.

“When you look in the mirror?” Stiles snarked.

“Nobody walks out of hell without scars, Stiles.” Peter glared.

“No, because we crawl our way out.”

Eager to Tear Apart the Stars by @nacreousgore, with art by @smalls2233

“Last chance to run out of the woods now,” Peter says. Stiles’ eyes do the running. They flash to the outskirts of the small clearing, sweep in a rough half circle of the thick wall of dark trees surrounding them. Then they’re swimming back to lock onto the shape of Peter. Stiles takes in the sight - the curve of his shoulders, the spreading circle of black pupil in the low light. The shadows the moonlight is casting down on the angles of his face.

“I can’t outrun you, you know that right?” Stiles says. It’s an echoed version of Peter’s own words but this time it sounds almost hollow in the night, daunted but dipped with a curious revere.

With a Heave-O Haule by @fascinatedscrawls, with art by @starkurt

When Stiles tags along on his best friend’s first voyage away from Beacon Point, he comes to appreciate the Shelby’s crew along with her captain, Peter Hale, and begins to wonder if he’s finally found a place for himself along the way.

Like An Arrow by @wynnefic, with art by @asstrongasyouthink

After the war, Stiles means to return to the countryside and never see an alpha again if he doesn’t have to. But when his freedoms as an omega are in peril, along comes his former commanding officer with a proposal better than any Stiles has heard, except that it doesn’t include words of love.

Stiles hardly trusts himself not to reveal his feelings to a man who doesn’t feel the same way. After all, if Peter were interested, surely he would have made his move years ago…

This is Not a Love Story by @luulapants, with art by @mock-arts

After his diagnosis with frontotemporal dementia, Stiles met a scarred man in a wheelchair who promised he had a cure for both of their conditions. Peter tells Stiles the story of their life together afterward.

magic to make the sanest man go mad by @yogi-bogey-box, with art by @shebaren

Stiles has everything: two parents who love him, a giant Hale pack that adores him, a well of powerful magic, and a mate who would move heaven and earth for him. But when his mate is killed and their mate bond broken, it all comes crashing down. Determined to join Peter in death, Stiles tries to kill himself, calling on his magic to take him to his mate. But something goes awry and Stiles ends up in another dimension, where he finds a different kind of Peter. But first Stiles has to get him out of Eichen…

A Match Made in Monstrosity by @theboboshow, with art by @thecrasy

An adult Stiles Stilinski has learned the trade of murder to survive and thrive. He survived the death of his mother and the resultant lack of guidance that led him to need to manage by unsavory means. Now he’s turned those skills into an art. He’s at the top of his field, taking down more unsolved marks than anyone else in a given year. With his partners Danny, Lydia, and Erica he must face a shadow organization that aims to destroy the Supernatural black market.

When the chips are down he must call on an unlikely ally. A man that has disrupted him on more than one occasion. A man who draws him nearer and makes his mind unravel the longer they know each other. Can they make their goals align for long enough to achieve their ambitions or will the organization crush them?

Mask of Many Faces by @lucky-bishop, with art by @tarvera

Peter Hale knows what it’s like to wear a mask all of the time. Even before the fire, he had to be charming and quick on his feet and refuse to let anyone close. It didn’t mean that he didn’t feel, and that he doesn’t feel now, contrary to popular belief. What it does mean is that he sees it in Stiles Stilinski - he sees how the young man uses his voice and his energy as a mask for what lies below, and what he sees there unsettles him in a way that feels startlingly like empathy.

Stiles Stilinski feels like he’s drowning in deep waters, or perhaps burning up from the inside out, or starving to death in a dark, lonely forest. All he knows is that it feels like dying, but he’s so sure that if he just keeps trying it’ll be okay. If he just keeps giving as much of himself away as he possibly can and then some, someone will reciprocate, and provide him the stability he craves so badly. The last person he expects that to be is Peter Hale.

A story of faces both false and true - and of finding people who can tell the difference - told in three acts.

The Magic of Fashion by @goddess47, with art by @spookubee

Admittedly, the young man was disheveled, unshaven, and sloppily dressed. The clothes were ragged and muddy. But the sprawled position let Peter see the young man’s long neck, toned arms and long legs. He would be slim-hipped under the baggy clothing.

“Oh, yum!” Peter sighed.

The Fox and the Wolf by @tarvera, with art by @leafzelindor

His dreams were getting worse. He couldn't tell what was real or a dream sometimes. Was he going crazy or was the creature that spoke to him telling the truth?

Peter has a plan, but can Stiles trust him?

A season 3B AU starting with who finds Stiles in the cave.

All it Takes is a Spark, by Mouflette, with art by Penumbria

Stiles decides to fix the hell his life has become by removing the root of all evil.

At least, that is the plan and what better way to do so than to go back in the past and change the course of destiny in order to make it all better?

It is a last resort decision that Stile takes. Going back before the Hale Fire, before Paige’s death, before the total corruption of the Nemeton. But going back in time comes with a price.

Let’s just hope all goes according to plan and no matter what, Stiles is a Spark.
