#kcfriedchicken

Somehow it's already that time of year again! Join your admins @halinski, @boymeetswerewolf, @justjimedits and @kcfriedchicken as we prepare for Sterek Week 2023.

As always, we have a variety of themes to inspire you, but this year we have added something new! Going along with each theme will be a selection of bonus content to you to enjoy. Some of it will just be extra themes to think about adding into your posts, some of it will be interactive, and some we will need your help putting together!

Stay tuned for more information around the bonus content in the coming weeks, but for now enjoy your first look at this years themes.

Wednesday, October 25th: "Only Just Begun" What better way to kick off Sterek Week then the theme of beginnings. The beginning of what you ask? Well that part is up to you! Whether it be the beginning of their relationship or the beginning of a new adventure, whatever beginning inspires you is the one we want to hear about!

Thursday, October 26th: "Seasons & Holidays" Christmas? Halloween? Summer? Fall? What time of year speaks to you most? Maybe you have a local holiday that is only celebrated in your hometown? That's what this theme is all about! Throw Stiles and Derek into your favorite tradition and see how it plays out for them!

Friday, October 27th: "Worlds Collide" Barbenheimer anyone?! Show us your best opposites attracts situation and watch the chaos unfold. Or maybe you are more interested in a crossover of some sorts. This is your opportunity to really mix up the Teen Wolf universe!

Saturday, October 28th: "Whole of the Moon" We are in luck! The October full moon will happen on October 28th this year, so of course we had to have a moon based theme! Do you want to explore the full moon traditions of the Hale pack? Or maybe you want to add in the concept of outer space? The whole galaxy is yours to explore!

Sunday, October 29th: "Sacrifice" What is Sterek without one of them trying to sacrifice themselves for each other or the greater good. With the events of the Teen Wolf movie or even the events of Season 3, there are plenty of canon sacrifices to choose from. But maybe you want to branch out! Make up your own reason for the boys to try and sacrifice themselves or maybe go the happier route and explore the idea of them sacrifice sleep for fun or other reasons!

Monday, October 30th: "Myths & Legends, Fairytales & Folklore" We want to hear about Stiles and Derek experience all your local legends! Are they traveling the world because Stiles wants to meet every mythical being there is? Maybe it is a Beauty & the Beast AU or retelling of Little Red Riding Hood. This is your chance to explore all of your favorite stories through the lens of Sterek.

Tuesday, October 31st: "Haunted & Bewitched" It wouldn't be Sterek week without our favorite holiday - Halloween! Is the pack throwing a Halloween party? Maybe Stiles and Derek have little ones of their own to take trick or treating? Or maybe you want to go the complete opposite direction and think about the ghosts and ghoulies that come out to play.

We cannot see what you all come up with! And we are so excited to share this years extra content with you!

Stiles is the new barista (baristo, as Stiles liked to call it) at Derek’s favorite coffee shop.

Derek quickly learns that Stiles is only working there to pay for college but that he also really wants to make employee of the month-a title that comes with a $500 bonus.

After Derek gets caught trying to slip Stiles an obscenely large tip for his coffee, only to be stopped in his tracks (“I may be poor but I still have my pride.” and “I’d rather have to live off of ramen noodles for the next ten years than take your money.”), Derek is determined to make sure Stiles wins the title. That means not mentioning the fact that Stiles gets his coffee order wrong every morning.

It’s not until Derek happily accepts a particularly heinous unicorn Frappuccino (seriously, is that edible glitter? In multiple colors? Oh man, Derek’s stomach is gonna hate him.) and starts to walk out the door that Stiles finally snaps.

“You’ve got to be kidding me!” and Stiles is looking at Derek with a mixture of incredulousment, bafflement, horror, and...anger? Frustration? And Derek thinks maybe he forgot to pay until Stiles speaks again.

“You idiot!” And there’s no venom in his voice, only fondness and exhasperation. “Do you actually think I’m that bad at my job? That I would somehow screw up a plain black coffee?”

And. Huh?

“I was screwing up your order on purpose, you absolute goober! Every day you come in and order the same plain black coffee and every day I’d make sure to get your order wrong so you’d have to come back in and talk to me again. But then you just kept taking them! And now! Just now, you were going to walk away with what can only be described as a child’s birthday party in drink form without even a second thought!”

“In my defense, I usually didn’t notice until I’d already left. I was too busy staring at the cute guy behind the counter,” Derek said, flashing Stiles a wry smile.

“Doofus,” Stiles muttered fondly, trying to hide the blush that creeped across his face.

“Besides,” Derek continued, “I didn’t want to screw up your chance at employee of the month.”

Stiles couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

The newest update on Pressure Valve has me fully a wreck. The babies! I literally cannot wait to see them leave that place. And I hope Aizawa and All Might get a HUGE slap in the face when they realize how bad they messed up.

Wait I would like to second this statement!!!

YOU STOP THAT TOO! 

I am very sensitive, I can’t handle this kind of praise! 

Is it this one?

It’s time to start thinking about Sterek Week again! Your favorite admins, @justjimedits, @boymeetswerewolf​, and @kcfriedchicken​ are back again to bring you the finest selection of themes ever seen.

Tuesday, October 25th: “Feels Like Home”

Home is where the heart is, whether it be a place or a person. We start this year’s Sterek Week off by exploring the theme of home and comfort for Derek and Stiles in whatever way, shape or form you think it may be. Whether it be Derek and Stiles feeling at home with each other, finding their home in each other, or making a home together… or meeting for the first time and realizing they’re finally home.

Wednesday, October 26th: “Dungeons & Dragons” 

Fantasy stories of distant, magical lands; tabletop games or roleplaying as adventuring heroes; getting lost in BDSM dungeons with Bad Dragon merchandise. Whatever you associate with dungeons and dragons can be used as inspiration for this theme. How about an AU inspired by House of the Dragon, or the Hellfire Club from Stranger Things? Your imagination is the only limit for the adventuring pair of heroes that are Derek and Stiles.

Thursday, October 27th: “A Box of Dreams” 

Anything you can dream up for Sterek can fit within this theme. It can be interpreted as something Stiles and Derek are dreaming about, or their hopes/dreams/goals as a couple… or even their fears. Remember, nightmares are also dreams so it doesn't have to be all sweetness and wholesomeness. Perhaps an AU inspired by Pandora’s Box or The Sandman? The dream world is yours to explore!

Friday, October 28th: “Mirror, Mirror” 

Through the Looking Glass; Alternate Universes; supernatural!Stiles and human!Derek. Reflections, role-reversals and opposites are at the heart of this theme. Be it a fairy tale magic mirror, a Freaky Friday/body-swap moment, or exploring what they see about themselves reflected in each other. Show us what you see in the mirror.

Saturday, October 29th: “Canon Revisited”

With the Teen Wolf film expected to release this year, this theme is meant to take a look back at the Teen Wolf canon and the role Stiles and Derek have played within it. Revisit a canon moment, take a canon moment and reinvent it, or write something inspired by your favorite part of canon. Remember, these three things are not long hidden… the Sun, the Moon and your version of the canon Truth.

Sunday, October 30th: “Sing Me A Song”

Music can inspire us an transport us to transcendent places, whether it be through the melody or the lyrics or both. You can write a songfic, or create something inspired by a song. It can be Stiles or Derek themselves involved in music; maybe they’re singers or songwriters or doing something inspired by a song. Often wise words can be found in songs... let them inspire you.

Monday, October 31st: “Halloween” 

All Hallows' Eve is our favorite holiday here at Sterek Week and we can’t wait to see what you create for this year’s Halloween theme. Magical, haunting, ghostly and bewitching, or cozy and playful, celebrating the Fall season and the changing time of year. As Sterek Week comes to a close, wish us all farewell until the next year with your vision of what our favorite pair get up to this Halloween!
