The Things We See

by MelodramaticSalad (AO3)

Fandom: Teen Wolf

Pairing: Derek Hale x Stiles Stilinski

Oneshot

Word count: 5k

Rating: Teen and Up Audiences

Summary: Stiles grew up in the life of knowing that there was always more to life than what others saw with a first glance. Even as a child he saw things that no one else seemed to and always had a fascination with the unusual.

Some considered him an unusual child, but Claudia welcomed every single quirk her son displayed. His mother had a few special talents of her own and thrilled her to see it in her son as well. She’d raised Stiles to always keep his mind open and as grew and started to display his powers, she began to teach him how to use them. She even taught Stiles about werewolves at a young age, his infatuation with them growing once he had learned the truth about her closest friend.

Stiles spent nearly every possible moment that he could roaming the Hale house, following after the middle child most of the time. Derek was three years older than Stiles, but the bond they developed with each other was something their mothers considered out of a story book. Like Derek, Stiles was sensitive to his emotions, but unlike Derek, Stiles didn’t need a scent to figure it out. He could feel it.

I wish I could say something but mostly I wish I could do something that would change this situation you're in, I'm sorry that you're in this position Sarah I'll pray for days to come where you're openly happy and genuine in your happiness and I will pray that that day comes soon inshaallah

I know we don't talk all that much, but I know you'll figure something out. You're talented and clever, and I don't think anything can hold you down . I shares santiagolightwood's sentiment: I wish I could help you in some way, and I am so sorry you're in this situation. It's unfair to you, and you in no way should feel guilt about this. If you ever need to talk, about anything, feel free to message me and I'll try the best I can to help. <3

I haven’t talked to you yet, but I’m so sorry that you have to carry so much on your shoulders and feel like you have to carry it on your own because otherwise you’re shamed for it. If you ever need someone to talk to with no judgement, I’m here. I wish you the best.

Thank you,  it means a lot

It’s just gets, weird and off-putting. Ever since I consented, everything has been running with the usual level of chaos, with everyone being themselves and happy. Happy being crucial. Everyone is ecstatic. Mom definitely is. So are all the people who’ve known me ever since I came into this world. And they have the full right to, they tell me it’s ‘the best years of my life, so I should enjoy it.”

Heck, if I was more normal I would be. One girl in the community met a guy in a few days and did something in my culture called a tolbeh. It’s practically an engagement to make things ‘official’ that the boy and girl are together so that they can get to know each other. Her father flew down to Lebanon to find a guy for her. She went down after he found one literally a few days she did the tolbeh. She’s now fully engaged (the next step is the writing of the book where you are fully engaged, allowed to hold hands, touch etc...a major religious aspect) and happy.

Many are like this.

My parents are so happy that I found a good guy with a good family. And they are. 

So why can’t fall in and be like everyone else. It’s annoying because everyone is so happy and seeing this as normal and then...then there’s me. Half the time I am hoping that perhaps if I pray enough, I will change. The other half knows it’s ridiculous. 

But it’s hard to see myself as ‘right’ when every person will say I am wrong. The people in the community who I came out outright reject and/or mock my orientation. It took one person, the most open minded person mind you, 6 years for them to apologize to me because she remembered what I had to go through during those time. 

How can I expect to change the mind of an entire community. Especially when they believe that everything they are doing is for my own benefit.

I was tagged by the fucking incredible @wordssometimesfail to post five of my OTP’s from five different fandoms and then tag five people! 

SABRIEL | Sam Winchester and Gabriel from Supernatural. If you didn’t think these idiots were my #1, you haven’t been paying attention.

STUCKY | Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes from Captain America 

STORMPILOT | Finn and Poe Dameron from Star Wars: The Force Awakens

STEREK | Derek Hale and Stiles Stilinski from Teen Wolf

SWANQUEEN | Emma Swan and Regina Mills from Once Upon a Time

I just realized all of my OTP’s start with an S. What the fuck.

OH GOD, BUT YESSSSSSSS, BECAUSE GABRIEL WOULD HAVE THE MOST FUCKING AMAZING STORIES.....

Like, so they go to the Lourve, or MoMa and just, fucking hell, Gabriel starts rattling off story after story about the artist, about the bullshit rumors there are about him, which totally and completely gets him into rants about history in general.  

LIKE I JUST LOVE THE IDEA ABOUT GABRIEL GETTING ALL INDIGNANT ABOUT THE HISTORY THAT IS TAUGHT TODAY, BECAUSE IT IS SO WRONG. 

And Sam sucks up the knowledge like a mother freaking SPONGE, just asking Gabriel question after question...

And Gabriel tells him story after story.  About Da Vinci, about how he actually managed to write the way he did, and his inventions, and the way that he would talk about them, and how enthusiastic he was about learning and science in general.  

Sam finds out things that history has long lost, like how Plutarch and other greek historians were assholes, how the norse gods visited the world all the time, unlike some of the others who stayed hidden or only appeared to select people...

And then Sam just starts asking about things, and then Sam wants to know how Gabriel knows all of this.  

Gabriel just grins and points out that he’s twisted history to go back and visit the interesting parts that he missed the first time around...

So he’s met Cleopatra, exchanged barbs with her (and he points out that her SASS was legendary, and in a time that women were not encouraged to speak up), and then he talks about Caesar, the first one, how his stabbing took place. 

Gabriel talks about Alexander the great, about how large his army was and how brilliant Alexander could be.  And how good in bed he was (and that might make Sam blush before curiosity gets the better of him again and he asks about homosexuality in the ancient greek armies), and then a hundred more things.  

Sam has fallen completely in love before he even has a chance to blink, and he tries to subtly tell Gabriel by asking about the more iconic love stories in history.  Asking about Helen of Troy, the ancient greek love stories, greek tragedies, all sorts of stories.  

Gabriel tells them all, with his own little flavour, for Sam.  But it isn’t until Sam kisses him in the middle of a rant about how poorly Henry VIII’s kingdom truly was, that Gabriel kinda gets the hint.  

Then he decides to up the ante and start SHOWING Sam.  

I hate that people don’t seem to get that if it was that easy, people wouldn’t suffer anxiety. I’m sorry people have to suck so much. :c

I've explained it. Only some understand. I wish people would...but mental illness is still not properly taught in schools? (well, back when i was in elementary/highschool)

But in her case...shes studying psychology as her major...to be a psychologist...and I worry
