#bartender!stiles

Derek is riding his high and hoping all this fame will finally get him what he really wants. As a werewolf, Derek was raised on mate stories, and in a family where his parents were true mates. He hopes that travelling the world for concerts, he’ll be able to find his one and only and bring them home.

After his final show in California, one of Derek’s friends (aka pack members who tour with him as assistants and roadies) convinces him to go to a strip club. He’s up for some easy fun and is surprised they managed to find a bisexual-friendly place called ‘Both Ways’. There, he meets a lot of pretty people and has a great time. He thinks he’s found a great girl named Paige and considers taking her back to his hotel room when he steps away for a moment to get drinks from the bar, and everything changes. All his thoughts of Paige dispensary when he looks up to see the bartender; a tall, gorgeous man that seems to be hiding his built body under a shirt that’s two sizes too big. He has big warm eyes and soft plump lips that he can’t help but think would look great with something in between them.

Once he gets close enough, he can hear the barkeep’s heartbeat and realises it’s in sync with his, then his scent hits him. Derek has smelt a lot of enticing and even tempting scents before but all of those pale in comparison to the intoxicating scent the man is giving off.

So Derek decides to do what he does best: turn up his southern charm and woo the pants off this guy who has just got to be his mate.

And boy, does it not work. Derek tries to charm him but Stiles shuts him down; “I come here to work, not get hit on.” And just when he’s about to ask him out, Paige comes bouncing in and presses up against Derek. Stiles casts a glance at her before looking back at Derek. “It looks like you go your hands full already.” Before Derek can say anything, Stiles turns and walks away to another customer.

But Derek knows that Stiles is the one, and he’s not going to let go of this. He’s never been one to walk away from a challenge. 

Hey! 

Yes! Although this escalated pretty quickly into ‘stiles works in a bar’, aka chris slips her fave fics into everyone’s asks :p 

Is There a Problem Officer? by isthatbloodonhisshirt (wasterella) | 4.2K

“Anything to drink tonight?”

He knew there was no way the other would remember him, so he started his usual ramble without missing a beat. “Nope, nothing for me, but I work in a pub so I proba—”

“I remember,” officer Hale said with a small smile. “You don’t smell like vomit this time, though, so that’s an improvement.”

Stiles started at his words, mouth opening but no sound coming out. He remembered him?! But this guy probably met hundreds of people in a given day, how could he possibly remember him?

“Have a drink,” John offered, looking over Derek’s shoulder at the bar. “I know that a certain someone would be happy to see you again.”

Derek turned to look over his shoulder, catching sight of a familiar head of messy hair, pale skin, and moles. The exact person he wanted to see behind the bar.

Stiles.

Pretty Melody by thepsychicclam | 30.5K

Stiles hasn’t seen Derek in six years, so when he shows up at the bar where Stiles works, claiming to be some indie rock star, Stiles can’t believe it. Stiles has even more trouble believing that he and Derek are about to have a one night stand.

Soon one night turns into two and three, and seeing Derek causes old wounds to open for Stiles. As Stiles reconnects with Derek, he finds himself painting things he’s been avoiding, and he thinks maybe he’ll finally start to heal.

“Anything to drink tonight?”

He knew there was no way the other would remember him, so he started his usual ramble without missing a beat. “Nope, nothing for me, but I work in a pub so I proba—”

“I remember,” officer Hale said with a small smile. “You don’t smell like vomit this time, though, so that’s an improvement.”

Stiles started at his words, mouth opening but no sound coming out. He remembered him?! But this guy probably met hundreds of people in a given day, how could he possibly remember him?

Derek doesn’t usually go out. It’s too loud in bars and there’s too many people and he just doesn’t really enjoy it. But it’s Laura’s bachelorette party, so he’s here to support her and make sure her friends don’t do anything stupid like hire a stripper. So far, it’s just been drunkenly loud women talking about how marriage can either make or break your sex life, and Derek needs a break. So he’s at the bar, sipping on his beer.

“Anything else I can get you?” the bartender asks, and Derek can’t stop looking at his eyes. They’re beautiful and wide and the perfect shade of honey brown, and Derek falls a little in love with the man’s eyes.

“I’m good thanks,” Derek answers. 

“Just gonna sit there and look pretty?” the bartender asks with a smirk, and is he flirting with Derek?

“Maybe,” Derek answers with a small smile. “Am I doing an okay job?”

“You’re doing perfectly,” he answers. 

“I’m Derek.”

“Stiles.” He holds his hand out, and Derek shakes it, trying not to stare too obviously at how long the man’s fingers are because they’re so long and they’re almost as beautiful as his eyes.

Few beers later and flirtatious comments later, Derek is writing his number on a napkin and handing it to Stiles before heading back to Laura’s party.

this might be a long one

Hug me, please? by Lonelyirises (3/5 | 1,534 | NR)

The moment the honey eyed boy set his foot in his & Laura’s shop, Derek’s life turned into a typhoon of rolling eyes and sarcasm.

“One day those eyeballs are going to roll off your skull, sourwolf!”

“Pretty sure, you’ll be there to hold on to them and ransom free coffee from me.”

“You can’t make coffee without your eyes.”

“10 bucks?”

Well, you get the picture?

Trouble Brewing by WeirdV (4/4 | 10,856 | G)

“Stiles?” Derek asks, sticking his head through the door of his office, “You coming to bed yet?”

He looks up, his eyes red from staring at the screen and the floor littered with files and pictures and post-it notes.

“What?” he replies, rubbing his sleepy eyes, “Yeah – just – a bit longer? I’m so close.”

“Okay” he sighs, closing the door behind him. It had gotten worse a few days ago, but he had seen how it started spiraling down almost a month ago when he first got the case.

Stiles gets a new case - and now he has to balance his time between his other cases, Derek, his friends and family - and oh, he also has a wedding to plan.(Follow up to "Caution, contens may be hot", but can be read alone.)

White Chocolate Cheesecake by Loslote (1/1 | 2,068 | G)

Stiles shivered when he felt a rush of cold air. He turned around to see a tall, broad, extremely muscled man in a black leather jacket step in amid a flurry of snowflakes. The man’s stubble and dark hair framed piercing hazel eyes. He held his hands in his pockets, and he glared out from beneath thick, furrowed eyebrows. His eyes landed on Stiles and pierced right through him as though Stiles were the only thing standing in between this man and his coffee, and Stiles gulped and...yep. Knocked over his coffee.

“Can I…Can I help you?” Stiles asked, dropping his textbook on the counter and dabbing at the coffee stains on his flannel.

“Sixteen ounce white chocolate cheesecake mocha,” the man said after glancing at the menu board. His voice was higher than Stiles had expected, and softer. He smiled, and as his eyebrows lifted, Stiles could have sworn he heard a choir of angels burst into song. “Hold the whip, please.”

its what you need by HaleHole (SweetFanfics) (1/1 | 1,878 | g)

“Oh!” Scott exclaims, making Derek turn around to look at him, “Stiles gave you his number then, huh?” About damn time. Scott’s had to put up with his best friend-slash-room mate go back and forth over his decision to approach Derek. It was nice to see that Stiles had finally made a move. But it didn’t look like it was well received if Derek’s face is anything to go by.

An utterly rubbish bartender au.

Don't Belong to No City, Don't Belong to No Man by alisvolatpropiis (1/1 | 1,091 | NR)

He’s still beautiful.

Extraordinarily, mysteriously so: that guileful kind of beauty that sneaks up on the poor fool lucky enough to recognize it, a peculiar constellation of dazzling features that, once recognized, become the only stars in the night sky.

That’s how it felt to Derek at least, during his fling with Stiles Stilinski, the musician who wandered into his bar late one night while on a break from his first national tour. Derek had no idea that the bewitching man was the next up-and-coming singer-songwriter the entire music industry was buzzing about. All he saw was the perfect storm of cocky, clumsy grace; disheveled hair and pink cupid’s bow lips that made him weak in the knees; bloodshot-but-still-glittering eyes the color of single malt scotch and even more intoxicating.

Rescue Me (& Take Me In Your Arms) by tumtatumtum (10/10 | 33,996 | NC17)

Just when Stiles is starting to reach panic-attack levels of stress, a leather jacket and firm thigh are pressed right up next to him, and an arm is casually thrown over his shoulder. Stiles looks up to thank this kind person who is saving his life, and suddenly forgets what air is.

Because HOT. DAMN. Call the police and the fire-man, this guy is smoking.

Or the AU where Derek helps save Stiles from an ex, and a steamy BDSM relationship ensues- with feelings all over the place.

Worth more than the cheap stuff by cjr (1/1 | 1,644 | PG13)

Drinks On Me by Wiccan507 (1/1 | 7,079 | PG13)

Stiles has never been good at flirting. Everything else he can do, but flirting is kind of a no no. Out celebrating his 21st birthday the last thing he ever expected was for the bartender to want to give him flirting lessons. But if he's offering then why not?

Hale's Bar by Kaamen (1/1 | 1,961 | G)

What would happen if Laura never went to Beacon Hills and Stiles came to New York for NYU and got a job at Hale's Bar.

(Stiles giving Derek heart eyes. And being saved by Derek.)

...

Prompt from Awful-AUs

“The customer I flipped off earlier tonight for touching my butt turned out to be the son of some high-ranking mafia someone-or-rather, and now he’s back with his posse and you’re the only other person left in the bar so can you PLEASE do something instead of sitting there looking drunk as a skunk?”

doctor's orders by wearing_tearing (1/1 | 1,639 | PG13)

Derek sighs, scrubbing a hand over his face. “Can you just get me a beer?”

“I should be getting you to bed,” Stiles says, and his lips twitch the moment he sees Derek’s ears turn a bit red. “But yeah, sure, coming right up.”

Have a Little Faith in Me by katnisskirk (1/1 | 1,980 | NR)

Stiles hasn't seen Derek in 2 years. Now he's back in town and Laura has engineered a little reunion.

What Stays and What Fades Away (you can't choose) by standinginanicedress (1/1 | 39,114 | NC17)

The rules. Stiles knows them well. Has them drilled into his head, repeats them to alphas and betas that conveniently are too drunk to remember them on their own, hears Peter shout them out whenever a rule gets broken, reminding the entire bar that they exist and are (generally) enforced.

Number one – no eye contact. Number two – no fucking eye contact.Number three – keep away from the red line.Number four – no touching.Number five – if we don't like it, don't do it.

Tending To My Heart by BabyWeWillRise (1/1 | 1,202 | G)

Derek is on the date from hell, and Stiles might be his salvation.

**

He was smiling genially, and it widened into a friendly grin as he approached Stiles, revealing two oversized font teeth that were adorably out of place on such a classically handsome face.

Stiles couldn’t help but grin back. ‘Hey man, what can I getcha?’

 ‘Help me,’ the man gritted out through his smile.

He kept telling himself, this was the last one, the last time, but it never happened.

It had been easier when Laura was around, she kept him grounded, kept the nightmares at bay.
