So all my godforsaken uni exams are over and most of them were shitty but I'm hoping I will pass and graduate this August. Hopefully. In the meantime I thought I should compile that giant rec list for one of my all time fave ships, because I have a tonne of read fics that are occupying space in the phone. So here, have it!
⭐ Favourites are marked with stars ⭐
Ship : Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski
• There is a Brotherhood ⭐⭐: College AU where pledge brothers Stiles and Scott start a prank war with Derek's fraternity. Super funny and cute!
➡️sequel : Derek's POV of the above fic, better seen as a prequel I'd say though.
• Losers : Derek and jock!Stiles are roomies and Derek inevitably falls for him.
• just pretending that we're cool : (from the author) In retrospect, using sex to trick Derek out of stalking Scott had maybe not been the greatest idea ever? Whatever, Stiles’ plans always manage to work themselves out.
• Hail to Whatever You Found in the Sunlight ⭐: (from the author) Stiles hates Scott so much. This is all Scott’s fault, Scott is the only reason that Stiles is going to get eaten by a bear.
➡️ sequel : “They’ll grow up and eat you.”
• Cherrybomb : A teenage angst ridden prankster Stiles gets back on his feet with police officer!Derek.
➡️ sequel : No story about Derek is ever really complete without Kate Argent. So here she is.
• Friends of Early Theory ⭐⭐: Sterek short slowburn office AU packed with hurt and angst and smut and all the feels. An all time favourite!
• I Died So I Could Haunt You ⭐⭐: (from the author) Haunting requires skill and showmanship. Something werewolves will never understand.
➡️ sequel : (from the author) It's a grave affair, what with all the haunting and lack of pottery.
• this boy, half-destroyed ⭐⭐⭐: I LITERALLY HAVE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE HOW BEAUTIFUL THIS IS. PLEASE READ!
➡️ companion fic 1 ⭐⭐⭐: I HAVE HONESTLY NEVER LOVED A SIDE CHARACTER THIS MUCH!
➡️companion fic to this boy, half-destroyed ⭐⭐: (from the author) "You don’t remember, anymore, whereexactly you were when you found outthat she was dead. You remember almost everything else about her dying, though." Stiles-centric.
• Needs More Sparkly Pens ⭐⭐⭐: Stiles has a notebook.
OMG THIS IS THE ULTIMATE FUNNIEST SUPER ADORBS PIC-FIC! NOTHING GETS BETTER THAN THIS. I REPEAT! NOTHING!
➡️sequel : More doodly madness!
➡️triquel : The much awaited happy ending!♥️
• Spook ⭐⭐⭐: Angst ridden ghost!Derek meets new neighbour Stiles and kinda just, falls in love with him.
➡️ sequel : A smutty sequel to the above fic.
• 'Linski's Late Night Antidote To Lame : Where Stiles has his own college radio show, and the mysterious, faceless Derek is his number one fan.
• (they say) this should feel something like fire ⭐⭐ : Alright. I'm not even totally sure how to describe this cuz I read this around 3 years back, but it's got post-kidnapping PTSD!Stiles who copes with his demons while they rebuild the pack together. Very angsty, some trigger warnings - torture, beating, etc., but a personal favourite.
• (Won't) Let Me Hold You Down : This thing with Derek, Stiles knows, is all about trust.
• a drunk mind is a sober heart and my drunk mind wants to climb you : In which Stiles runs into a brick wall that is Derek, he's kissed somewhere in the struggle, and this ends with him questioning his sexuality. Jock!Stiles + nerd!Derek.
• A Fool for Fire : ( INCOMPLETE ) Stiles and Derek see their relationship in two very different ways.
• A Good Thing ⭐: That sweet fluffy lovely sex-pollen fic WITH KNOTTING!
• A Guide to Wooing Unsuspecting Jocks Accidentally : Nerd!Derek bakes sugary + spicy goodies to woo jock!Stiles.
• A Happy Ending [Costs Double] : Stiles gets stripper!Derek as his b'day gift.
• A Lost Family History of Cotton Candy and Carousels ⭐⭐⭐ : After the showdown with Gerard, Stiles has had enough of this supernatural bullshit. He is standing firm. He is Just Saying No. He is getting a normal job for the vacation. In his normal job he finds a normal film of a bright summer's day a lifetime ago. It's full of happiness and cotton candy and carousels and all the things they don't have any more.
• A Missed Opportunity Is Found : “You’re more than an hour late,” Derek stated, more of afact than an admonishment. Stiles was not only the boss’ kid, he was a snarky, arrogant teenage boy with anabundance of confidence, and Derek could rarely muster the nerve to stand upto him, regardless of his position as manager. Jock!Stiles + booknerd!Derek. Kinda.
More to come!! Stay tuned! ♥️
