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!

(In)attention

Summary:

The whole 'Derek needs rescuing' thing is getting way out of hand. Derek comes a little too close to getting himself killed, prompting an argument, leading to a revelation that might change their friendship irrevocably.

Note: One BAMF magical Stiles fic with plenty of angst for bererjs! I hope it hits the spot!

What’s to Love

Summary:

Derek has always loved winter. As he gets older, he finds there’s only ever more to love.

Note: I hope you enjoy, eviscer8 !

Shot in the Dark

Summary:

Stiles hadn’t slept in a while; everything was sort of blurring together. Which is probably a factor in his next decision. To fight the wolf. Or, well, confront it. Put an end to the madness. It’d get the hint, or it would finally eat Stiles and be done with it. That’s why Stiles was currently in the woods at night, armed with a flashlight and his dad’s pistol. He cannot stress how much he’s regretting it. Or… Stiles is being stalked by a wolf.

Note: hello!! sorry this is a bit late, but i really hope you enjoy!! i tried to go for au & soulmates with a bit of a/b/o sprinkled in. i was gonna expand more on alive hale pack cause i love that au but i ran out of space in the plot. i tried to make it humorous and i love writing stiles’ voice! the only thing remotely strange is very, very brief mentions of mpreg. happy holidays!! no beta reader, all mistakes are my own.

Arcade Hearts

Summary:

Stiles meets Derek Hale in a college arcade — cue awkward babbling, quiet pining, and sparks neither can ignore. Between Scott’s hype, Isabelle’s snark, and Peter being… Peter, Stiles and Derek stumble from flustered crushes to a soft, electrifying first kiss under neon lights.

what should be simple

Summary:

Derek's showing signs of aging and he is not appreciative. Stiles, on the other hand? Well...

Note: Merry Christmas Mel! I read that you like older Sterek and decided a little fluff about aging was in order. Unfortunately, I fell into a writing slump as soon as I started and I haven't been able to pull myself out since, so this is a little shorter than I originally intended it to be. Hopefully it still makes you smile anyway!

Love at the First Bark

Summary:

Post-Nogitsune Stiles was stuck in a fox form, cursed by the demon.

Note: Happy Holiday giftee, hope you'll like my gift.

Real Life or a Soap Opera

Summary:

Stiles likes watching soap operas. Turns out, living in one is just as good.

Note: I hope you like it! Happy celebration season!

Shore

Summary:

Stiles gets the bright idea of doing some pack bonding for Christmas. This will definitely be an uncomplicated beach trip where nothing unexpected will happen. And of course he isn't focused on Derek at all.

Note: Happy Holidays!

For: @cw0ffeefandomaddict

Asking for Help Gets Easier with Practice

Summary:

Stiles comes back to visit Beacon Hills to visit his dad, who is now missing!

Note: For Sterek Secret Santa Exchange 2025 for gryvon!

Among the things you asked for was kidnapping and found family... I hope I did that justice!

Hello and (No) Thanks for All the Fish

Summary:

After a stressful bout of finals, Stiles gets sick. Derek finds out he's sick and comes to nurse him back to health. Unfortunately, Derek is a werewolf and has never taken care of a sick human before. There's a completely rational amount of fish involved. (Sorry to all the fictional fish harmed in the writing of this story.)

Note: This is a Sterek Secret Santa 2025 gift fic for amatorial.

I attempted to combine a few different parts of the prompt they requested for their gift fic.

Taking care during illness or injury

touch-starved

confession through a fight

one bed trope

(I am really sorry about all the fish, it got away from me.)
