2025 Sterek Secret Santa REVEALS and gift wrap-up!

Hello all and thank you for participating this year, our first year taking over this project, even if your contribution was commenting, reblogging, or otherwise being a supportive community member. As this was our first year with this particular project, there are definitely some kinks we uncovered in the process. As always, we've taken notes on what we noticed did and did not work. If you have any feedback you would like to share, please feel free to email us ( [email protected] ) or send us an ask, anonymous or otherwise.

Now for what we've all been waiting for:

REVEALS!

Another new moodboard?! Yep, I'm still catching up on all my fandom stuff from last year 😅. This one was made for the @sterekreversechallenges reverse bang. I loved the concept, and was super happy with how this one turned out, and I was so intrigued to see how someone else might interpret it.

Every time I make a moodboard like this I have an idea in my head about how the story might go. @write-light took it in a direction that I never expected by introducing a camp au element, which is one of the most fun things about doing events for me. You never know what ideas your work might inspire in somebody else!

Go and check out the fic and show it some love!

Example: 

Written for the prompt:

Derek is born more in tune with his wolf side and has always been slightly more feral than the other werewolves in his pack. In this fic I kinda want to explore how that basically makes him more in tune with his surroundings and nature in general. You can choose anything you want. I just want to see the fact that Derek can't grasp any kind of social rules that go beyond small-talk. Also, because I am obsessed by this, I kinda want to see (This is again your decision) werewolves starting not to, you know… not act human-like. Maybe they could give off an uncanny valley like vibe. And Stiles being the only one okay with this. Like his dad's first instinct is to draw his gun when his underage son brings home an ex suspected murderer (Derek is aware of laws and things like that, but, because once again, he is NOT human, doesn't really understand them) and not just because of the whole murder thing, no, no, no. It's because of how he moves and walks. It also gives everyone else a fear factor outside of the whole serial killer thing going around in town. And also because Stiles starts copying behaviour from the were's. Bonus points if everyone is a hater because, well, this is a small town. A hater but not a snitch.

The Trees Told Him (19036 words) by Heavenly_Bodies Chapters: 5/5 Fandom: Teen Wolf (TV) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski, Derek Hale & Stiles Stilinski Characters: Derek Hale, Stiles Stilinski, Laura Hale, Cora Hale, Peter Hale, Sheriff Stilinski (Teen Wolf), minor Talia Hale - Character Additional Tags: Canon-Typical Violence, Pre-Slash, Childhood Friends, The Hale Fire (Teen Wolf), Good Peter Hale, Alive Cora Hale, Alive Laura Hale, Alive Peter Hale, Sheriff Stilinski's Name is John (Teen Wolf), sterek prompt meme, minor Gerard Argent - Freeform Summary: Derek preferred what he called ‘listening to the preserve’ to even being with the pack. He wanted to stay here, in his woods, with his trees and the stream, the leaves always under his feet, and the hum that made his wolf and his body ease into something calm and right. It was more than just Derek being a lone wolf- he was part of the land, in a way most wolves, even Hales, weren’t. It wasn’t something that could or even should be changed.
