My primary fanfic love in Teen Wolf is Sterek. I'm open to other pairings involving them in canon, but I'm not particularly interested in reading fic about other Derek or Stiles pairings. So, even in requests where the focus is somewhere else, if you have them paired up in the background, I'd strongly prefer they were paired with each other.

Past relationships with other people are fine, and I'm not down with demonizing their non-villain exes. (Look, I like Jennifer Blake, but she was a villain, so if you're going to write her as a villain or just generally as a terrible ex-girlfriend I'm not going to bat an eye; on the other hand, if Malia or Braeden are depicted as villains or just generally horrible people, I'm going to twitch a lot and get thrown out of your story.) Just ... y'know. This is a case of I Like What I Like. Yay?

If you're writing Sterek, I prefer futurefic of various stripes -- AUs, canon-divergent stories, canon-compliant stories, whatever -- and happy endings. Beyond that, my tastes are fairly broad; I like fluff, romance, happy slice of life domestic stuff, the kind of angst where things ache but aren't relentlessly awful, plotty things, not-plotty things (though I tend to skim stories that are mostly porn in search of non-porn bits, I'm not gonna lie), fic with kittens, fic without kittens ... lots of things. 

(And when I say "AUs," I like space AUs, fantasy AUs, historical AUs, flower shop AUs, AUs where they're royalty, AUs where they're angels, AUs where, I don't know, Derek is the really angry host of a QVC show and Stiles keeps buying things, the point here is that I like AUs as much as anything. The only kind of AUs I can come up with that I don't read are slavery AUs; anything else is fair game, so long as it doesn't hit one of my general squicks. Werewolves, not werewolves, you decide.)

I'm *not* into partner betrayal, infidelity, unresolved angst/unhappy endings, stories constructed around flimsy misunderstandings (sometimes I like those, but mostly they make me yell "JUST TALK ALREADY"), or much in the way of kink. I also have a power imbalance squick, so no teacher/student, therapist/patient type stuff, please.

Since not all of my requests involved Sterek, I'll also say that I love the show's female characters, and thinking about them hanging out and being awesome together makes me happy. I also love Scott McCall, and I am definitely not into seeing him demonized, infantilized, or just generally painted as a bad friend and/or terrible person. I'm pro-Scott, pro-Malia, pro-Kira, pro-Lydia, pro-S2 pack, pro-everybody who is not canonically a villain. If any of those characters bug you, I get that, because the show definitely reads differently to different people; all I ask is that if you don't like a character and I do, you leave them out of the story rather than cast them in a negative light, because I'm not likely to enjoy it if you write them that way.

Okay, some notes on my specific requests:

No Archive Warnings Apply, Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski, Derek Hale, Scott McCall, Future Fic, Christmas

I'd love some happy, settled future fic that's Scott and Derek around the holidays, with background Sterek. (Stiles doesn't even have to appear, since really what I want is the Scott and Derek holiday fluff; I'd just prefer Derek were paired with him.)

Yeah, see above wrt: that second part. Mostly with this one I just want Derek! And Scott! In future Beacon Hills, when both are responsible adults and relatively happy and also, there's a Christmas tree, and maybe feelings, because wolf brothers.

No Archive Warnings Apply, Cora Hale, Laura Hale, Malia Tate, Erica Reyes, Alternate Universe - No Hale Fire, Alive Hale Family

A Hale pack ladies' night out in a universe where they're all still werewolves (or werecoyotes), there was no Hale fire, and Malia is there and part of the Hale pack (and was feral but isn't anymore, or never was feral at all, or however you want to explain it).

If you wanted to bring in Allison, Lydia and/or Kira as secondary characters, I'd be down with that. Background femslash with any three of those characters and any of the other four would be just fine with me. Ooh, maybe they're having a McCall pack ladies' night and happen to run into the Hale pack and shenanigans ensue. If you do it that way, Malia could be Hale pack or McCall pack, I'd be happy with either.

Please no background het unless it's Erica/Boyd.

I dunno, I just really dig the idea of Malia and Erica as part of a larger, alive Hale pack, and the two of them hanging out with Laura and Cora. If you just want to show me a slice of that, awesome. If you read on to the second paragraph and liked the idea of McCall Pack and Hale Pack hanging out together, also awesome! Like I said, in that scenario Malia could belong to either one, I have no preference.

I didn't specify any pairings, but if you're into femslash, go wild (so long as it's not incesty femslash). I'm not particularly interested in reading about het pairings in this fic (but I'd let Erica/Boyd slide in because they're OTP for me), but femslash is perfectly okay.

No Archive Warnings Apply, Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski, Stiles Stilinski, Derek Hale, Scott McCall, Kid Fic, Future Fic, Alternate Universe, Scott McCall & Stiles Stilinski Friendship, Derek Hale & Scott McCall Friendship

Scott coaches little league baseball, Derek and Stiles both have kids on his team, hijinks ensue. Bonus points if a) Stiles just moved back to town for the first time since college and didn't know Derek previously, and b) Scott and Derek are bros.

Please, no friendship jealousy or hurt feelings via misunderstanding or Scott-Stiles alienation or anything like that; I just want everyone to be friiiiends. Or, in Stiles and Derek's case, boyfriends, eventually.

Look, writer, the truth is I felt like I should give you a prompt of some kind in case you really wanted one, and this is what I came up with. If it doesn't speak to you, no worries! If it DOES speak to you, great, because I think it'd be adorable. But if not, you can refer to my whole big long list of things I like up there. I'm not horribly difficult to please. (I don't think so, anyway.)
