#ghost!derek

After practically being raised watching Buffy, The X-Files, and Ghostbusters, Stiles liked to think his reaction to seeing a shimmery shadow resembling a seventeen year old boy floating ten inches above ground and glaring fiercely at him wouldn’t be to let out a high pitch scream, try to karate chop him, and then, when that obviously didn’t work, throw a basketball at him.

A basketball that just went right through the boy’s stomach.

The imposter has been here for a maximum of two hours and Derek already knows too much about him.

"Dad. Dad. Dad. No. Dad. Please just. Dad." One—his dad is extremely worried about him. Extremely.

Two— "No, I did not ask you to do that! Dammit!" —he talks to inanimate objects, usually when he accidentally runs into them.

"Fucking stupid, Stiles, can you get any worse?" Third—he talks in the third person. A lot.

Fourth: his name is Stiles. Like what the hell? His house is being inhabited by a living person named Stiles.

Looks like Derek's finally got something to be angry about.

There's a boy in the woods.

There's a boy in the woods and he's always there, rain or shine, day or night.

There's a creaking in the hall and a knocking on the door and no one is ever there.

Five people died in this house and Stiles Stilinski is not at all sure they're gone for good.

Outrun Your Ghosts by  wangler | 19.1K

Anonymous said:Hey you wonderful amazing people! So I've been wondering if there's any good fics, long or short, where Stiles saves the Hales form the fire? I've read one but can't remember the name of it and I was wondering if there's more? Preferably finished? Oh and merry Christmas from Sweden!

Hi there darlings!  I’ve got a bit of a mix here for you, hope they’re what you were looking for!  <3  -Emmy 

(this is my version of “the fire never happened! Derek :D )

No Day But Today by fauvistfly

“If you don’t change it successfully, you’ll be doomed to repeat it,” Deaton says, his face impassive despite the seriousness of his words.“Repeat the day?” Stiles parrots, trying to wrap his head around what they’re attempting to do, the ridiculousness of his life and how it now involves time travel. –in which things in Beacon Hills are so bad that Deaton sends Stiles back in time to stop Kate from manipulating Derek and causing the death of the Hale family. The catch: Stiles only has 24 hours to change the course of the future, or he’ll be stuck repeating that same day until he gets it right. What will be enough to keep Derek away from Kate?

Stiles learns some heavy-duty magic, and Derek convinces him to send him back in time to fix all the mistakes he’s made. But Derek ends up making things worse, and Stiles has to think creatively to save him. And everyone else, including their younger selves.

Find a Way by LLN3dseestheLight 

(25,198 I Mature I Complete)  *sterek, time travel, kitsune!Stiles

Kate Argent came back to Beacon Hills and slaughter the Pack. Only Stiles and Lydia survived for the moment but thanks to Peter Hale they have a way to change that…by doing something very stupid.

A Time Travel spell… If it works… And it does in a way… but it also sent them to another reality as well.

Not only does Stiles have to deal with an alive Hale family, a really weird Beacon Hills, but also with a nineteen year old Derek Hale-who dreams of a world where his family died in a fire-and where he knew Stiles and Lydia! Stiles can deal with that. What he can’t deal with is the fact Derek for some reason can’t keep his shirt on! So Troublesome.

Lydia is having her own problems-Parrish is all but mated to Laura Hale so any plans of  rekindling what she almost had with him are out. So she wonders if she should take a chance on Derek’s mysterious older brother, Damon Hale?

Hope is the Thing With Feathers by ShanaStoryteller

Stiles is ten when he saves the Hales from their burning home and Derek from a wolfsbane bullet, and this establishes a pattern that seem to continue indefinitely.

“Then he’s facing a burning home, and he wraps the hood of his sweatshirt around his mouth before he pushes the door open and steps inside. There’s Mr. Hale asleep - he hopes asleep - on the couch, next to - Stiles thinks that’s his brother but there are so many Hales, who can keep track. He rushes over and starts shaking him, can see the rise and fall of the man’s chest so he knows he’s alive, but he’s not waking up.He shoves away his hood so he can shout, "Mr. Hale! You have to get up, there’s a fire! Mr. Hale, get up!” Nothing, he’s not even twitching, both of them taking in deep even breaths like they’re having the most peaceful of rests, and Stiles is going to cry. “Wake up, wake up, wake up!”There’s a moment, where all Stiles can hear is the blood rushing in his ears and not the roar of the flames or the creak of wood, then with a violent, silent pop it’s all back and both of the men are gasping awake, eyes open and jumping to their feet. “

i only know of this one

Forget Me Not by orphan_account (1/1 | 1,627 | NR)

A thin boy with shaggy hair dances through the field of fragile white flowers, the flora paying no mind to his swaying limbs as they greedily take in the fading sunlight.

A deep, rumbling growl sounds from the forest, making the frolicking teenager still. He swivels his body in the direction of the sound, his honey-colored eyes spotting a tall, dark figure lurking in the shadows.
