My thought was that young Derek didn’t have the ability to do that yet? We did see him having trouble with the shift and stuff, so I figured that it was another example of him not being as good at werewolfing as we thought he’d be.

THESE NAILS ARE AMAAAAAAAZING, HOLY SHIT.

YAY QUESTIONS!!!

6. Favorite fic (or one of them)?

my favorite fics are almost always the ones i read when i first got into a fandom?? because they’re usually the ones i get enough distance on to want to reread at some point, since i am - gasp! horror! - not really much of a re-reader! (i think i’ve reread like… three or four books in my entire life) so here are some fics i have loved!!! (you can find more here also but keep in mind that it is poorly curated currently)

teen wolf

the alexandrian solution - derek/stiles lock all the doors behind you - derek/stiles darling it is no joke - derek/ stiles au a change in appetite - derek/stiles

avengers

the days were bright red - thor/loki falling like a flip of a coin - thor/loki au-ish semaphore - steve/tony arms and the man - steve/tony when i think (oh it terrifies me) - steve/tony off the record - tony/loki (a pairing i don’t even care about! and the only wip i have EVER READ)

bandom

euphemisms for insanity - spencer/brendon, a testament to the story because i don’t care for the pairing or spencer, period the skin of the canvas - gerard/frank

supernatural

a priori - sam/dean life is a banquet (and some poor suckers are starving to death) - sam/dean green and gamboge - sam/dean there’s gotta be a punch line in here somewhere - sam/dean a rose (in another man’s garden) - sam/dean

stargate: atlantis

a beautiful lifetime event - john/rodney freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose - this is the best piece of fandom writing i have ever read. it’s better than a large percentage of published material. just thinking about it destroys me.

star trek (2009)

subverted ambitions - kirk/spock au with my feet toward the stars - kirk/spock magpie - kirk/spock au

the cabin in the woods

all three of these are authors expanding the universe of the movie and they’re all AMAZE

monsters, inc. performance review, december 1998 monster and man

true grit (2011)

with no lodestar in sight - mattie/laboeuf - one of my favorite stories i’ve ever read. an 82k extension of the true grit story. so good, so good, so good.

10. Favorite trope/element/scenario in fic?

I LOVE SUFFERING. not, like, characters suffering, but ME, i want to SUFFER. i want to roll around on the floor SCREAMING because the unresolved sexual tension is so excruciatingly palpable that everyone except the two people it is between know it. i want long and non-angsty romancing where both parties are idiots!!!!! i like bed sharing!!!!!! i love UNEXPECTED BODY THINGS like where knotting occurs but the person with the knot has never experienced it before!!!!! i LIVE FOR UNCONTROLLABLE AROUSAL AND BONERS!!!!!!!!! especially when it’s driven by a person that the uncontrollable boner haver kind of hates!!!!!!!!! i love HORRIBLE SEX SHAME - DEREK HALE HAS SO MANY PROBLEMS. i love bruises and marking and SCENT MARKING. i love incest and the fraught universes that produce it!!!!!!!!!!

okay, that’s just a lot of screaming, but mostly i REALLY LOVE stories where it takes the entire story to get to the boning. i like it long and drawn out and dialogue-y and then i like to watch them struggle through their first times in DETAIL, especially if they kind of round the bases in a very ordered way??! i don’t read stories with established relationships and i get bored if the story goes on for too long after the initial boning event. sorry, i’m a weird sex and romance monster.

32. Favorite AU tropes?

i can say with confidence that before teen wolf, i was NOT BIG ON THE AU, tbh. but since teen wolf, i am very into them. i actually tell my girlfriend anywhere from a story to three stories a week verbally (this is why i don’t write more fic! blame her!) and almost ALL of them are au. i will read pretty much any au, especially if it seems like it has the potential for LOTS OF AWKWARD FLIRTING. i am not as into the coffee shop au as most of fandom is, but i do love a super awkward one. i like aus with non-conventional jobs the most, i guess?!?! i’ve told my gf TWO ENTIRE massive aus about the circus, in two different fandoms, so i guess that’s my fave?!

both would be such a mindfuck.

what I want from a derek/stiles bodyswap is Derek staring at Stiles’s hands. Just staring at them, at his anchor, his reality check, and kind of hyperventilating. I want Derek to be the one falling apart, for his lungs to feel like they aren’t getting enough air, because everything’s different, muted, he’s so much weaker. I want Stiles to just wrap himself around him, a little too tight because he’s not fully aware of his own strength yet. “Close your eyes— ssh. It’s okay. Close your eyes,” he whispers, rubs Derek’s back, keeps him weighed down on the mattress. “I’m here. We’re in my bedroom. You’re still Derek. It’s okay. Count to five with me,” and he taps each of his fingers onto Derek’s back, does it over and over until Derek’s calmer.

Ah! Thank you for clearing that up! Apparently that original photo was stolen and Hoechlin asked for it not to be used (according to another ask I got), so I’ll be deleting my reblog.
