Fanfic trope again (haven't finished mine yet, but I love hearing your ideas)! Let's do roommates with a ton of pining
âOH MY GOD THEY WERE ROOMMATESâ AU!!! Okay. TY Theo u rock!
This will be an Alive!Erica/Boyd/Allison/Laura and therefore a dead!peter AU because Iâm a slut for Derek having a less sad life. Also Cora doesnât disappear and goes to NYC with Laura and Derek
Derek loved his apartment. It was cozy, den-like, and it smelled like pack. The kitchen set-up was great and Isaac was a great roommateâit was like living with his little brother. The rest of the pack was always in and out as well. It had taken awhile for his therapist, Cora, and Laura to convince him to move into a nice decent placeâto convince him he deserved nice things, that the fire wasnât his fault.
Derek had come so far what with therapy and so much support from his alpha and pack mates. The move back to Beacon hills before Coraâs junior year was tough, so many memories, so much guilt, but Lauraâs alpha needed to be on their soil, in their air. She moved a year early to set up a new pack house. She added Erica and Isaac to their pack after witnessing a major seizure of Ericaâs that almost killed her and heard isaacs dad being a terrible person and Isaac begging for a way out.
Derek and Cora moved over the summer and into the pack house. During their junior year Stiles and Cora become bffs when Scott, Isaac, and Allison start dating and get too wrapped up in each other. Derek is highly amused by his little sisterâs clumsy new bff, but heâs still working on himself so he comes across as very sourwolf.
During senior year Scott has an epic asthma attack and Isaac tells him about werewolves. Stiles (and John) already knew because Claudia was a spark and knew shit and told stiles all about it while she was alive. Scott is so hurt that his bff AND his bf kept him in the dark for A YEAR. But ends up taking the bite and becoming Lauraâs beta.
The kids go to college all over but visit a lot because pack. Isaac stays in beacon hills for school and he and Derek get the apartment cuz Derek needs broody space and Isaac can finally officially leave his dad.
When Scott and stiles finish school (and everyone else but they arenât relevant rn) Scallisaac move in together and Derek is lonely. Cora suggests stiles move in because he doesnât want to live with his dad as a college grad. Derek says okay even though he might have a crush, but he figures living with someone his the best way to get over them.
Stiles is super nervous to move in with Derek (the guy heâs been in love with since he picked up Cora from stilesâs house junior year), but heâs also so excited to move out (even though Derek is a deputy so is basically a direct reporting line to his dad).
The first few months living together Derek canât stop staring at stiles as he goes about his day. The way he eats like a starved puppy and brushes his teeth so messily and shuffles around in only his pj pants in the morning with his eyes screwed shut. All the things that should make him want to wring stiles neck just make him want to kiss it even more.
