#sterek hc

Imagine Derek plants blue flowers outside their bedroom window - forget-me-nots, cornflowers, blue delphiniums, hydrangeas, periwinkles, and so on - because he knows blue is Stiles’s favourite colour.

Imagine Stiles jokingly got Derek a plush dog toy to play with when he wolfs out, but Derek genuinely loves it and Stiles has caught him (on several occasions) curled up with it in his wolf form.

Imagine Derek starts a charity in Claudia’s name to help people pay for hospital bills.

Derek knows how much Stiles loves Star Wars, and when exhibits like costume exhibits or LEGO Star Wars exhibitions come to town, he takes Stiles to all of them (almost always as a surprise, and Stiles is surprised every time).

Stiles tries to read all the books that Derek likes so that Derek has someone to talk to about them.

Derek finds Stiles trying to make pancakes for breakfast. Derek walks up behind him, wrapping his arms around Stiles’ waist and hugging him close. But when Stiles drops his guard, Derek dips his finger in the pancake mix and boops Stiles on the nose with it. This starts a batter fight.

Derek goes to all of Stiles’ lacrosse games.

Derek has Stiles’ food orders memorised (whether it’s coffee, pizza, burgers—he knows them all)

When Stiles is angry or upset, Derek shifts into wolf form and bleps while staring at Stiles. It makes Stiles laugh every time.

Monopoly is banned from pack game night. They’ve been given one last chance before Uno gets banned too.

Eli’s nickname as a kid is Trouble.

The nickname came about because Sheriff Stilinski was telling Stiles and Derek that wherever they go, trouble follows, and Eli - with his perfect timing - toddled in after them, prompting the Sheriff to jokingly say, “And here’s Trouble.”

After that, the nickname stuck. And made for many laughs when they would call him Trouble or refer to him by the nickname and he would happily say, “I’m Trouble!”

Scratch a specific spot behind his ear and his back leg starts kicking involuntarily

The long, quiet, throat growl followed by a soft “… woof”

Zoomies. Especially in enclosed, indoor spaces.

He sneezes when he gets excited (if u own a dog u know exactly what I’m talking about)

He will lick ur legs once u get out of the shower. Human Derek has no explanation.

He is a big boy and therefore has lap dog syndrome (except it’s almost always on Stiles’s lap).

It’s only happened once, but if he sees Stiles for the first time in a while while fully shifted, he’ll start wagging his tail and whining as he commences the Big Sniffining.

Must eat grass.

Thank you! 💜

First of all, Stiles would definitely acquire some wolf habits while pregnant. He would want really rare meat, and he would nuzzle Derek more and scent him

Derek would go feral. F E R A L. He'd become so obsessed with Stiles, it would come off as creepy. He would glue himself to Stiles' back, sniffing him or just purring, but he would also make sure to hold Stiles' belly so he could rest

Derek would also go more wolfy. He'd guard the house, and sniff every food before giving it to Stiles. He would hunt for him, big game. He would lay at night awake staring at Stiles with his eyes glowing red with his heart pounding for... different reasons

Stiles would get super clingy and needy and fussy but Derek would only grin because it means his mate needs him and his attention

Both of them would be so fucking horny all the time, the further along the worse it gets. Stiles would basically think Derek is god, and Derek would run into walls cause he stared at Stiles too hard. Stiles for him would become, like, the epitome of desire and love

They would fuck everywhere

Derek's hands would never stray far from Stiles' belly. He would caress it, or just listen to the baby’s movements and smile when the baby kicks

Also Derek would get a heart attack every time something goes wrong, even if Stiles just stubbed his toe, he'll go barking

Derek would make sure to make pregnancy as easy as possible for Stiles. He'll take every bit of his pain away. Weird food cravings at 3am? Sure, babe. Can't tie your shoes? Sit down and relax. Everything would be at Stiles' feet

It takes one look at Stiles rubbing his stomach absentmindedly for Derek to want a second baby. He would never tell Stiles but he wants to keep him barefoot and pregnant, like, always

As requested by my awesome ride or die bestie mutual @that-grunge-fae here are some Sterek bits that I enjoy! Let me know if you want more!

They get together just after the Nogitsune. After months/years of pining and ST that you could cut with a knife, Derek finally snaps after realising just how close he had come to losing Stiles for good, the pain that came with somebody else wearing his skin.

Contrary to popular belief, Stiles makes the first move. In the summer whilst looking for Erica and Boys (whom stay alive and well in my head because I love them), he starts spending more time with Derek, bringing games and food and bullying Derek into actually living somewhere other than the ruins of his house. He does it knowingly and with the grudging support of his father.

Saying that, the Sheriff is not stupid. He knows there is more than meets the eye, and he also knows he would not be able to stop Stiles if he tried. He knew he would have to wait for Stiles to come to him. With that said, he also knows that Derek is a good kid, and a kid he is, he can remember how he was in the Before. He never believed Derek would do those things, and does not say a word when he gets reports of his son spending inordinate amounts of time with him.

In fact, the Sheriff is the one who starts off the Packwide bet, much to the horror of Scott.

He and Melissa both bet correctly, saying it would happen after Stiles is faced with unimaginable danger and certain death, within the year.

Scott says it will never happen at all in his denial

Lydia and Boyd get the closest after the parents, also saying within the year, but without the specifics

Erica bets within a moth for all of the tension between the two, Isaac says two years, and Jackson just ignores them all, but agrees with Erica. The pack just;; avoid Peter and discussing it with him

Stiles makes Derek get so flustered. Pet names and casual affection galore. Sweethearts and Darling and Babe. Brushing a hand along his back, his hands. Resting a chin over his shoulder. It amuses the Pack to a great extent.

Derek is more of a silent affectionate type. Gift giving is his love language. Repairing the Jeep, finding magical tomes, sending Stiles random article links he thinks he will enjoy.

There is no big or little spoon, because Stiles just flops. Everywhere. They are always entangled and sprawled out.

They can both cook, Derek from years on the hiding from Hunters with Laura, and Stiles from after his mother's death, and it is a major sore spot for both of them, but it doesn't mean they don't enjoy doing it. They surprise each other with homemade lunches and dinner dates. Derek even makes the Sheriff some heart healthy, but still delicious, meals he can enjoy at the station because he has more free time, and wants both of the Stilinski men to be happy.

Stiles slipped a house key onto the Camaro keys one day, without saying anything, and Derek doesn't notice until Stiles locks himself out of the house one day and calls. Derek will deny being emotional about it, even more so when the Sheriff calls him Son and welcomes him home every time.

Imagine

(Whether u want mpreg, a surrogate or adopted)

twin baby boys

Bc I think that would be so fricking cute

nickolai (with a little mole under his eye) and claud (blame the French in me) and both shy

Shy like Derek shy

Both wanting to be held all the time by stiles and Derek,

Both tolerating, eventually liking, grandpa Noah hugs and Peter hugs

But the rest of the pack is totally 50/50 (more like 20/80)

Sometimes they’ll tolerate being held but the rest of the time (80%) they’ll get fussy and want to be back w stiles or Derek.

Obviously stiles takes this in his stride. Okay shy babies, he can work with that’s alright, itll get better once they’re walking and talking and going to preschool

Derek on the other hand... while he’s not shy he was as a child and as stiles claims, he’s antisocial and doesn’t like people in general that aren’t 1) stiles or 2) pack or 3) pack adjacent (at a push)

So Derek worries. Bc he knows from Peter that he was the same. A shy baby. And look how that turned out: most of his family dead and enough trauma he’d need a bus to carry it around. And, at 36 years old, he’s finally getting the life that he’s always wanted and he wants the best life for his babies. (Dereks such a push over dad dont fight me on this)

But stiles tells him it’ll be ok, they’ll get through it. They always have. Derek says ok. He trusts stiles. Always has, always will. There’s something inside of him that nags at it, but he trusts stiles that their kids will be fine, stiles seems to know what he’s doing. Even when nickolai clamps onto them at bedtime stiles fixes it.

But

Like Derek predicted, it doesn’t get better.

By the time the boys are walking, looking more and more like Derek (dark hair with a slight curl that stiles insists is the cutest, green-blue eyes that are also totally the cutest Derek, and increasingly heavy brows that means that there are multiple photos of Derek, nickolai and claud all making the same annoyed face) and are still just as anti social.

By the time they’re walking they’re fine with stiles and Derek, giggly happy children, just a little quiet.

They’re okay with Peter and their grandfather. They’re alright with Melissa and Scott (due to many forced baby sits, on both sides)

By the time they’re walking if they go outside the boys are either holding hands like limpets attached to eachother, or their hands clamp around stiles’ and dereks’.

It makes a cute image, but stiles and Derek wish the boys would play with the others at the park. They wish the boys wouldn’t be so... so... Derek doesn’t even know how to describe it. He’s worried the boys will never be able to be without each other. Every time they try doing separate activities (that aren’t in the same room) with the boys it always ends in tears. Nickolai’s, Claude’s

And stiles’.

At least, by the time they’re walking and attempting to talk they don’t hang off of the legs of whichever parent tries to leave the house.

But by the time the boys are two, maybe two and a half they’re still just as shy as when they were one and preschool really needs to be considered, dereks worried.

Stiles says it’s alright, that the boys are just shy in nature and it’ll get better once they start socialising.

From where dereks standing the boys aren’t going to socialise at this point. They’ll huddle in the corner and whisper to each other until derek picks them up.

Derek doesn’t want to let them go in the first place, they’re his babies

But they need to go to school.

He knows about stiles’ not so secret secret research that he compiled when they first started noticing the shy behaviour

But derek books an appointment anyway.

He hadn’t been to his therapist since way before the boys were born and it’s strange, going back.

It doesn’t feel the same as it did when he first entered the building when he wasn’t quite sure what he and stiles were, had no idea where it was going and could hardly concentrate on it past the chaos in his mind.

He knows that one session won’t cover it, but hearing it from someone that isn’t stiles, isn’t pack, helps. Hearing it from a professional, and someone somewhat emotionally detatched from the kids telling him that shy children are sometimes just shy children. Sometimes children start shy and lose that over time, some are shy and remain shy. Some start social and become highly introverted. It’s not necessarily the parents fault.

Derek goes back two weeks later, just talking, or trying to. Not necessarily about the kids, but maybe for them. Maybe for stiles too.

Like stiles predicted,

It does get a little better with preschool.

At first the teachers tried to make sure that the boys weren’t always together

Which had mixed results and the boys being grumpy sometimes. But also led to the claud becoming friends with Jack, and nickolai becoming friends with Emily (and their imaginary koalas)

The teachers suggested maybe putting them in different classes. Stiles said play it by ear, if it’s really necessary. Derek agreed. He didn’t want that much distress for his babies children.

It does get a little better.

One day, a few months later, claud and Derek go to the park but nickolai doesn’t want to. Claud agrees to go anyway, and if he doesn’t like it without Nickolai, they can come back.

They stay for half an hour. Claud doesn’t cry, neither does nickolai.

Derek classes that as a win.

By the time the boys are five, claud attends little league lacrosse (just like daddy, he says) and nickolai doesn’t (just like you, daddy, he says).

But if you make nickolai and claud not have matching socks, there will be tears.
