Aha, it was not me, but this does give me an excellent opportunity to yell about this tool to my followers. If you haven't heard about 5 Calls, hie ye to the below link and take a look:

Wanna call and/or righteously yell at your congresscritters but aren't sure who you should contact, what you should say, or what might be the most effective approach? Then 5 Calls is here for you. They provide easy-to-look-up contact information by district, scripts and lists of hot-button issues, support for first-time callers, and more. It is your one-stop-shop for Harassing Your Electeds In The Age of Trump 2.0, and I absolutely recommend that everyone go there and take a look and/or pick an issue and get a-callin'. So yes.

So apparently this fic was deleted. I don’t have a copy of it but it’s on the wayback machine. Hope that helps!!

Absolutely! Here’s our regency tag!

Aha, it's this one:

They have three different styles (basic, premier, and Premium TM), and because I had a bit of spare income from the Exam Grading Marathon (this was indeed my primary motivation for doing it this year), I splurged and got the top-of-the-line Premium version, which is the link above. This is also an ideal time for doing so if you are so tempted and/or have a little cash on hand, because they are still running the 4th of July sale wherein all the mattresses are half off. As such, I got a luxury mattress normally priced at $2.4k for like, $1.3k including tax (shipping was free, which was nice). The lower tiers also start at around $600, which is pretty reasonable for a mattress tbh. But if you can afford to have a bit of a splurge, then I feel like a mattress is something worth paying more for if you can. So yes.

There is a bit of leeriness involved in buying a mattress online when you haven't had the chance to test-drive it in a showroom, but I will say that I also briefly had the same concern (i.e. whether it would work if I hadn't been able to test it in-person beforehand) and mine is REALLY nice. I am a tall person with back pain, and that sucker is so comfortable. It is really thick and cushy on top, but it also has good support, and it does feel like a cloud. I got a full, which is SO big and thick that I will probably have to order queen-sized bedding at least, because the full-sized sheets barely fit. I got the hybrid (springs + memory foam) version, since I am someone who needs that lumbar support, baby, and as a stomach and/or back sleeper, it was super comfy for me in both positions.

“Three weeks,” Derek says.

“Still don’t want to,” Stiles says.

“I’ll pay you,” Derek says, and that… that has Stiles interested. Alf’s Antique’s may be a great job, but it’s not a high-paying job, and half of Stiles’s tuition is coming from financial aid, so…

“How much,” Stiles asks, “are we talking here? Because I know your family, dude. And it’ll be kind of awkward after.“

“My family thinks you’re some sort of fucking gift to the world,” Derek seethes, like he’s jealous, “they’ll probably be pissed at me when we break it off, so don’t worry about that. Five hundred bucks.”

“A thousand,” Stiles says, because screw ethics. Also, the Hale family is loaded. Derek can deal.

Married at First Glance by WonderWolf

“Those contracts that you signed was you agreeing to follow producer instructions.Your instructions were to give us drama. Whether or not you like each other, you are, for all intents and purposes, hired actors for these seven weeks,” Finstock snaps. “Pretend to actually like each other or I will dock your pay.”- - -Married at First Glance gives its participants seven weeks. Seven weeks, starting when they meet and marry their “perfect match”, to decide if they want to stay married or divorce.

For Stiles and Derek though, the challenge lies within trying to pretend that they don’t absolutely hate each other’s guts. When you’re married to a werewolf who dislikes humans, however, this can get a little tricky.

But the sweet, sweet cash reward at the end will be worth it. Right?

“Dude, I can’t show up solo to my ex-girlfriends wedding. I can’t do that,” Scott stressed, his face arranged in an expression that was almost comically anguished, like one of those weird, sad-face, tragic drama masks.

“So we find you a date,” Stiles shrugged, as though it was no big deal. Scott was adorable, in reasonably good shape, and probably the best guy Stiles had ever known, or would ever know. He wouldn’t have any real issues with getting a girl.

“Stiles, it’s in two weeks. Two weeks. How do I find a girl willing to date me, and come abroad with me to my exes wedding, in two weeks?!”

“So, are you dating someone new? Someone who doesn’t mind that you’re frigid?” Kate cocks her head to the side, smiling as though she just asked him about where he bought his shoes.

His entire body sighs in defeat as his shoulders grow square. Just as he opens his mouth, someone comes up to stand beside him, snaking an arm around his shoulders. When he glances to his side, expecting to see Isaac, his brain seems to malfunction. Because it isn’t Isaac. It’s Stiles Stilinski, the lacrosse talent of the year, a senior who Derek has seen multiple times from far away, but never ever talked to.

In which Derek is a nerd jock, and Stiles is a frat guy, and Derek falls for him even though he knows he shouldn't.

Find Me Sitting Fireside by kaistrex

With the news that an Alpha wants Beacon Hills for their own, Derek and Stiles are forced to attend a couples retreat at a ski resort to learn their enemy's identity. However, the threat is the least of Derek's problems when he's expected to fake a relationship, share a bed and suffer through candlelit dinners with the man he's secretly been in love with for the past four years.

Stiles' ex-boyfriend, Jackson, is at the same bar. With Stiles' longtime crush, Lydia Martin. Stiles needs a fake boyfriend yesterday. Who better than Mr. Grumpy Pants who he'd almost spilled his drink on earlier?

Not to mention, damn, Mr. Grumpy Pants is hot. And that's why Jackson's not buying the fact that they're dating.

So, uh, wanna be my boyfriend? by Nerdy_fangirl_57

Derek broke up with Kate Argent less than a week ago and she already has a new batch of arm candy plastered on her side. Everyone around campus is gossiping about when Derek will ‘move on’ and get a new girlfriend.

Thing is, dating is the last thing Derek has in mind after the disaster that was Kate Argent. Then Kate starts getting a bit too ‘friendly’ with him and he snaps.

“I have a boyfriend!”

“He said he was looking up random facts and stuff and read that one in four people are gay. That means at least one person in my friend group is gay, statistically.”The sheriff’s eyes narrowed slightly, not sure where Stiles was going with this. “I hope it’s Derek,” Stiles continued, voice soft and almost wistful. “Because Derek’s cute."

Stiles has an ability that he's hidden from everyone. At first, it was to keep it his little secret because he didn't think anyone would react well to the things he could do, and it kinda made him feel like he was in Harry Potter. Then, when he was older, Scott was bitten and werewolves happened, and there never really seemed to be a good time to mention his little ability. Later, after he learned the truth about Kate and the Hales, Stiles felt sick to his stomach and couldn't tell anyone, especially not with Derek in hearing distance. He couldn't bring himself to use his ability, pushing it as far down inside of himself as possible and trying to avoid it like an unwanted situation. That's when the nogitsune possessed him, and for a long time afterwards, Stiles didn't trust himself to try to use his ability again. All in all, it's almost six years after Scott was bitten before Stiles can bring himself to use his ability again, and when he does, it's accidental.

“The point of the assignment is to show you how stressful it can be to have to cart a baby around. Maybe make you think twice about skipping the condoms when the need arises. I want that lesson to stick, so you’re bringing that bag of flour with you.”

Yup. Dad was using his sheriff voice. He'd be taking the flour.

John should have a talk with Derek. Without handcuffs and the threat of impending imprisonment.

The Old Legends by thegirlnamedcove

“Is…something wrong?”

Derek gave a half nod again, and whined high in his throat. Stiles groaned as his legs gave out and he sank to the edge of the bed. There were a lot of possibilities, sure, but he already knew which one it was.

“You can’t shift. You ran into those motherfucking faeries, didn’t you?”

Derek huffed in assent and pushed his head into Stiles’ shins. He dropped a hand to his friend’s head and stroked through the fur absentmindedly and tried not to panic.
