Stiles Stilinski never thought much about his relationship with Derek Hale. He didn't have to because Derek was always there for him. That is, until Braeden entered the picture. Derek seems happy, and Stiles takes comfort knowing that the broody werewolf is less broody.

Stiles, however, is hit full force by his feelings when Derek is injured at La Iglesia. He realizes then, that everything he has felt for Derek is more than what he originally thought. He struggles with coming to terms with them, and finally, with the advise of Scott, takes the first step to doing something about it.

— pencap.

Ooh, fun question, I haven't thought about this for many of them. Generally speaking, my favourite/go-to animal for shifters that aren't wolves tend to be foxes or felines.

My favourite for Stiles will always be a fox. Kira's already a Kitsune, so I really enjoy her as a fox as well. Your fics are entirely at fault for me now defaulting to Chris & Allison as fox shifters as well, particularly silver foxes. I could also see Noah as a silver/black fox, but I'm leaning more towards brown bear for him.

(While fox is my favourite/go-to for Stiles, I came across ocelot while thinking about this list and now I really wanna see Stiles as an ocelot.)

Lydia would either be a lioness or a bird of prey like an owl or peregrine falcon.

I could see Braeden as a wolf or cheetah, maybe a hawk

Melissa would be a brown bear or a sea otter

Victoria would be some form of hawk or a lion

Kate's a snow leopard

Corey is a fennec fox

Mason would be a crow (I also got kinda stuck on the idea of him being a capybara lol. or a hedgehog.)

Is my bias showing if I say that Deaton would be a black mamba or coastal taipan? 🤪

Marin is a raven

I could see Hayden as a jackal, hyena, or jackrabbit

Coach would be a hyena

Danny is some type of panther

As a group, I really like the Argents as a pride of lions
