#Dark!Sciles

[domesticated-feral]

the nogitsune comes back for an encore, having learnt many from its mistakes.

Risking more, it begins to toy with Scott and Stiles. Its starting move?

Dreams, dreams that bring back the past, dreams that feel too real to be dreams, dreams that are probably not dreams.

One question remains through all this. Who is the nogitsune this time? Or rather, who is not the nogitsune?

i howl when we’re a-p-a-r-t         drag my teeth across your chest         to taste your beating heart

[toastybugguy]

CRYING SO FUCKING HARD AT THE WAY SCOTT STRAIGHT UP GIGGLES WHEN STILES RUNS AND HUGS HIM… HOW DID I NOT CATCH THIS BEFORE. biting my entire fist right now. tears streaming down my face.

[kitkatwinchester]

...k then.

Okay for starters.

Should I really be watching an episode of Teen Wolf with how much homework I have and how close I am to finals?

Probably not, but I've been thinking about it all day, and procrastination is my specialty, so here we are. XD

That said...

At first, I was f*cking TERRIFIED of this dude. I kind of still am. He's all kinds of weird and all kinds of creepy.

HOWEVER, given this new revelation, I now realize that he's also all kinds of traumatized, because apparently, the kids he murdered/attempted to murder (or, at least, some of them) are werewolves.

Which is honestly soooo much worse, 'cause that means there's something real big and potentially real sinister going on if he saw that many glowing eyes and I don't like that.

So anyways that's exciting.

In other news...

HAVE I MENTIONED THAT I LOVE SCOTT AND STILES?!

THEY ARE SERIOUSLY THE CUTEST THING I SWEAR!!!

Stiles: And I mean five, four, three, two-- Stiles: *turns around and jumps* Scott: *with glowing Alpha eyes* One. Stiles: I hate you.

THAT WAS SO CUTE AND SO FUNNY STOP I CAN'T! XD <3

Also I know Scott is fast, but that HAS to mean that he was already out of bed and at school and he was straight up lying to Stiles' face over the phone, so...that makes it even better. XD

Also of COURSE there's an informal holiday called Mischief Night, and of COURSE Scott and Stiles celebrate it wholeheartedly.

I love these little troublemakers so much. <3 <3

Anyways let's continue.

Season 3, Episode 15. <3

[capricornsicle]

Teen Wolf 6x01 "Memory Lost" + Ghost Rider

((I'm taking gifset requests! Send an ask to request a gifset for any character, ship, theme, etc. and I'll do my best to fulfill it or refer to someone more capable. The only requests I don't take are for Stiles, Derek, and Peter, since they already have so much content in this fandom.))

don't do anything drastic. by NacreousGore

Author summary:

Post s3, during or inspired by Scott's s4 dark spiral. A man attempts to enact his revenge on the nogitsune through Stiles, and Scott doesn't have the same patience he used to.

Reasons to love the fic: I am always on board for a good faith exploration of dark!Scott and those are not easy fics to find. This one has all of the usual visceral feelings nac always provides packed into ficlet form. It really makes you think about how terrifying Scott could get. Lovely.

As always, don't forget to let the author know if you enjoyed the fic!

Words and Fics

According to AO3: 295,177 words posted, however, I did a lot of art for events this year, so this number isn't wholly accurate.

I actually wrote and posted 122,354 which is actually WAY more than I thought I did?

1 fandom represented: Teen Wolf (but I'm a multi-shipper, so many ships hehe)

Most Recent Drop: TECHNICALLY mu submissions to @sterekreversechallenges's past participant server event, 1000 Cakes, but the work featured is still anonymous, so I can't count it here.

Most Recent Drop (readable): 'My Whole Life is a Reference to the 1995 Hit Movie Clueless and I Still Don't Know the Plot' by Fall Out Boy (Stackson, T, 2k)

Longest Fic according to my stats page: Yoda Said It Best by @okdeannawrites (Sterek, E, 99k+) (I did the illustrations)

Longest Fic I actually wrote: Under My Skin (Stackson, E, 59k+)

My fandom fic events in 2023

I THRIVE on events. They've been absolutely integral to my ability to write fic this year, and I'm really proud of what I've done. That said - I absolutely participated in WAY too many. There are a number of fics that I was involved with that don't show up in my ao3 stats and that's okay! I'ma just... list them out akdjhgk

7 fics (or 13,394 words) this year were posted for the Stiles Shipping Server's monthly ficlet exchange.

2 fics and 4ish art pieces were done for the @stacksonreversebang

1 fic was written for the Sterek VDay Exchange, but my participation was revoked.

1 art was posted for @stetervalentines2023

3 arts and 1 podfic were posted for the @steter-bang

1 fic was posted for the @teenwolfminibang

1 art was posted for the @teenwolfminibang

1 item was posted for the @sterekreversechallenges 1000 cakes event

2 Major arts and uh at least 4 minors arts were posted for the @wipbigbang

1 fic (and my longest solo fic ever) was written for the @wipbigbang

1 art which is not currently posted but will be revealed by the end of the year is for the @stereksecretsanta

Upcoming Events and Projects for 2024

The first thing that's going to be 'posted' is the Sterek Reverse Challenges 1000 Cakes anonymous work, which will be revealed Jan 6th.

Events:

Stiles Shipping Server monthly ficlet exchange - many more months will be participated in again

@sterekposevents - probably gonna write smth for this next year (stares forlornly at my unfinished summer wip)

If the Stackson Reverse Bang runs again, I will absolutely participate in that, but i will definitely not commit to 4 projects!!!!

Absolutely the next go around for Sterek Reverse Challenges!!! I love reverse bangs (and bang in general)

If I do the Steter bang again I will not sign up for as many projects because I did too much all at once and it was stressful.

I will likely participate in at least 1 vday event and at least 1 santa event. (:

There is one event I will definitely be participating in but the event itself has not been announced yet so I won't talk about it... publicly. If you're into Sterek and Events you can DM me for Spoilers though~ ;*

Projects:

Addabge Dmaddiage - Sterek MedFantasy Omegaverse Arranged Married Dark-ish fic. Currently Writing

Higher Education 2: Electric Boogaloo - I already have over 2k written, I just need to finish it.

Vampire!Stiles Sterek fic, which I will hopefully be doing for one of the events

Stackson MedFantasy Bastard Prince x Freedom Fighter AU

New! Sex for Work - Sterek office sex AU: Next chapter and/or Rewrite and/or Finish (low priority)

Sciles in Ancient Greece - this is possibly more of a long form poem than fic? We'll see how it goes ? low priority

Rules, Tags & Rambling below the cut!

I technically have a massive list of WIPs and Prompts I am constantly working from. I pick the ideas when they feel happy in my brain for "free time" writing - I actually meant to work on the office sex AU for the month of december but got whacked upside the head with Addabge Dmaddiage. UMS was my FIRST "long fic" ever so I am... feeling really, really invigorated.

in 2021 I climbed out of my writing hole where I hadn't written seriously in over a decade. That year, I wrote and shared 22,418 words by myself, and wrote half of a 69,599 (incomplete, part 1) role-play fic with a friend. At the start of 2022, I watched teen wolf for the first time because @sinnabon-cosplay is a menace and can't be stopped. It lit an absolute FIRE beneath me and I lost all control of my life. I started writing and drawing with a wholly renewed fury. I started doing way more events and wrote and posted 40,247 words. At the end of the year, I thought to myself - wow, wouldn't it be cool if i doubled my word count again? 80k? haha, that probably won't happen though. I'll be excited if I write and post 60k.

YALL. I wrote and posted 60k in ONE FIC. I wrote and posted over 120k?????? that's INSANE to me. I haven't had that much drive to create since I was in high school.

Teen Wolf is like... fixing my brain chemistry. I feel so invigorated.

Despite some setbacks with some REALLY unfortunate Sterek fans at the start of my experience here nearly tanking my creative drive, I've managed to stay on track without totally losing my love for the ship because of some rotten eggs. Shoutout to all my homies keeping the space worth hanging around in. I appreciate yall so much <3

Rules: Feel free to show whatever stats you have. Only want to show Ao3 stats? Rock on. Want to include some quantitative info instead of stats? Please do this. Want to change how yours is presented? Absolutely do that. Would rather eat glass than do this? Please don’t eat glass but don’t feel like you have to do this either.

Tags: No pressure ANY time from me, i love you I appreciate you I like sharing with you. Don't wanna play, don't worry about it <3 @clotpolesonly @lucky-bishop @adrianfridge @sinnabon-cosplay @okdeannawrites @foofsterwolf (Sorry i panicked and couldn't remember if u posted FIC on ur main or just original so i tagged ur TW even tho this doesnt have to be TW related) @just-another-busy-fangirl-writes @lavender-lotion

[daughterofluthien]

sciles + i can't just sit by and do nothing when you're suffering!

A breath, then another. A third labored, rattling inhale passed, and Stiles couldn’t contain himself any longer. 

“I can’t just sit by and do nothing when you’re suffering!”

He could almost feel Scott’s responding glare. It was the sort of thing that would be intimidating, if it wasn’t a). almost exactly the same as the glare that Scott gave him when they were twelve years old and Stiles had convinced him to go skateboarding in an abandoned warehouse, and b). connected to a face and body that was, charitably, beat to shit.

A good 20 seconds passed before Scott finally worked up the strength to say something, but when he did, it still held all the strength and conviction that the world had come to associate with Scott McCall. “You can, and you will,” he said, holding Stiles’ gaze in a way that only the people closest to him would realize was actually desperation. “You have to.”

…Except he sounded like the human equivalent of a punctured, leaky tire. Which probably wasn’t that far from the current state of his lungs. Stiles found he had the urge—likely from some long-buried memory—to rummage through Scott’s things until he found his spare inhaler.

Of course, Scott hadn’t carried or used it in years, and there was nothing an inhaler could do anyways against the wolfsbane-dark veins spreading up his skin and the multiple thick spears lodged in his body.

Stiles glared back. “Yeah, that sounds an awful lot like watching you die, and I don’t think I can do that.”

Scott was sitting propped up against a tree, and Stiles was keenly aware of just how exposed they were. Hunters could surround them at any moment, and then it really would all be over.

“They’ll come,” Scott insisted. “The pack… They’ll be here.”

Stiles never had been a fan of waiting to be rescued. He wanted to move, to do something, to take the fight to the assholes who thought they could hunt down his best friend. But he didn’t have a gun, and the race through the forest had sufficiently turned him around that, if he left now, he wasn’t sure he could find his way back. 

“Okay,” he said finally, sitting down beside him against the tree, their shoulders pressed against each other. “We’ll do this your way.”

[domesticated-feral]

Scott shows everyone just how powerful he can be and Stiles is willing to do anything to see that side of Scott again. Even if it meant turning himself into Scott's worst nightmare.

[princeescaluswords]

One thing I love about the sciles dynamic is that Stiles is never afraid of Scott. Maybe in s1, when the werewolf thing was new, but not after. Stiles is 100% sure Scott won't hurt him and he's RIGHT

I once made a post here talking about Stiles's relationship with Peter Hale, only to realize, after I received your question, that I can make a similar statement about Stiles when it comes to Scott: Stiles's need for Scott is only exceeded by Stile's love for Scott and this fact remains unchanged throughout the seasons.

The most important person in Stile's life during the series, the one he would do anything for, is without question, his father. But the relationship between fathers and sons, particularly this one, has certain land mines, even at the start of the series, that Stiles and his dad have to navigate carefully around, mostly arising from the traumatic circumstances of Claudia. There are things they don't talk about and badly healed wounds, as the audience can tell by the scene in Co-Captain (1x10), Party Guessed (2x09), and The Girl Who Knew Too Much (3x09).

At the beginning of the show, that complexity didn't exist between Stiles and Scott. Stiles had no boundaries with Scott. He doesn't think twice about showing up in the middle of the night with an impulsive decision to go looking for a dead body in the woods, calling Scott a dumbass, mocking his dreams of being first line, all with perfect confidence that Scott not only wouldn't reject him but there is a very good chance, he'll follow right along.

For a person who endured the violent rejection of his own mother and her tragic death, a friendship seemingly without limitations is something to be treasured. It's something to be fought for. Please, as if something like the threat of bodily harm could deter Stiles from keeping the person he needs and loves safe. Derek scares him because he doesn't care about Derek; the danger Jackson finds himself in is "his own fault."

I know I've talked in negative terms about Stiles's demands on Scott in Heart Monitor (1x06) and going behind Scott's back in Formality (1x11) but those don't contradict this thesis. These actions may not be ethical -- in fact I'm absolutely sure they're not -- but they're designed to protect Scott, both physically and in terms of their relationship. Stiles wants and needs Scott whole but also unchanged, still the only person that Stiles can tease unmercifully or mess up badly with and yet still will ditch his girlfriend to come pick him up. That's why Stiles will insist that Scott do the right thing, no matter what, because that's part of who Scott is. Stiles will throw firebombs at serial killers and endure beatings from a geriatric sociopath in silence so Scott can remain Scott.

Every major relationship crisis between Scott and Stiles comes not from Scott disappointing Stiles but from the idea that Scott's new life and responsibilities will force Scott to stop valuing Stiles the way Stiles values Scott. That's the message behind "You still got me" in Master Plan (2x12): Stiles is stating that no matter how much this werewolf crap changes Scott, he doesn't have to worry about this -- about them. The fear and loss in Stiles's eyes during The Overlooked (3x10) isn't about Scott betraying him but about the realization that the forces of darkness may have finally changed Scott into someone who doesn't need him the way Stiles needs him. The nogitsune torments Stiles in Letharia Vulpina (3x19) by presenting a perverted image of their friendship -- the fox in Stiles's body manipulates Scott into doing the right thing (taking pain) torments Scott (with the ninja-to) and then takes what he needs from the relationship. Stiles puts himself in Eichen House rather than allow himself to hurt Scott that way again in Echo House (3x20) and hides his own pain in The Divine Move (3x21). He'd rather die than let the nogitsune get between them.

Season 5A, of course, is Stiles's greatest fear made real -- that he will go too far, that his own nature will end up destroying this love he values so much and that this friendship that he needs to cope with his life will be gone. There's a reason for that scene with the Jeep in the rain. Stiles could never possibly fear Scott's claws and fangs; the only thing that could make Stiles break down is Scott's indifference.

That's why, in both Motel California (3x06) and Riders of the Storm (6x10) Stiles's ultimate words are always "I need you." For Stiles, Scott could never hurt him as long as he's there.

i carve my name...(wip)

oh that one!!! that one is a very angsty sad gen Sciles thing that i started for an event like 2.5 years ago, and one of the very few things that i picked a title for before finishing it cuz i neeeeever do that 😂 (alternate title option was "such a shame that we play strangers") i think it's set fully post season 5?? season 5 was fucking rough for them lmao and i wanted to explore just how much that season broke their friendship

He doesn’t say anything now. Scott knows he’s awake, so he doesn’t bother pretending that he isn’t. For a long few seconds, they just look at each other. Then Scott looks away. He shifts on his feet. Through the darkness, Stiles can just make out the way he opens his mouth and then closes it again. Stiles finds the energy to push himself upright. He rubs at his forehead and says, with a tiredness that goes far deeper than just a lack of sleep, “Is something wrong? What’s happening?” “No,” Scott says. “No, there’s nothing— Everything’s fine, I just—” He trails off, and Stiles lets him. Scott’s hand comes up to run roughly through his hair. Silhouetted against the streetlamp outside the window, Stiles can see that it’s shaking. Scott lets out a sharp breath and meets Stiles’ eye again. “I just miss you.” The words sit heavy between them. Stiles feels like they should mean more to him, like they should hit him harder. But he’s having a hard time feeling much of anything lately, these last few days especially. He doesn’t know what it is, but everything is five steps away and he doesn’t have the strength to reach for it. Scott is five steps away. He’s right there, and isn’t this what Stiles has wanted? Isn’t that what he’s been fighting for this whole time? Not to lose Scott? He still wants that, doesn’t he?

[...]

Scott shifts beside him. “Do you remember that game we used to play?” he asks, barely more than a whisper. “When we were kids?” Stiles’ breath catches. He swallows. “Yeah.” “Can we play it again?” Eyes already stinging, Stiles lets them close. “Yeah.” It’s another minute before Scott says anything else. He used to be quick on the draw, back when they were kids, always full of words bubbling up and spilling out. Even the stuff he would never tell anyone else, he didn’t hesitate to tell Stiles. And that was the whole point of the game, wasn’t it? They started playing it after Stiles’ mom died and his dad insisted he needed to “talk to someone”. He meant a therapist, but Stiles threw a fit. He didn’t want to talk to someone, and he definitely didn’t want some old guy asking him a bunch of invasive questions and telling him how to feel. “You can talk to me instead,” Scott said then, earnest as anything. “I won’t even talk back at you! I’ll just be nobody, and I won’t ask you any questions or tell you anything. You just say whatever you want to. I won’t even look at you, if you don’t want.” It doesn’t qualify as a game, really. But they played it a lot, in those months after he lost his mom. And they played it again, after Scott’s dad left. Whenever one of them had feelings they didn’t want to admit to anybody, the other would be nobody for a night and just let them talk until they’d talked themselves out. No questions, no responses, no eye contact. Just words in open air, heard but unacknowledged. It wasn’t therapy, but it worked for them.

it gets really sad from there ok even i'd forgotten how goddamn heartbreaking this WIP is, i really should get back to and finish it someday, if only to provide myself with some fucking closure akdljfgh

.

ask me about my wips!

[johnslittlespoon]

i saw that you used to write back in the day lol i was wondering what/who were those about and were they went? drop the lore pls

hahaaaaaa you could not waterboard that one out of me i'm gonna be so real LMFAO at least not the most recent one pre–saltburn/mota

i think the first pairing i ever wrote for tho was like. frerard. way back in middle school ~2013... on wattpad... dark times ik. actually found my old account a few weeks back accidentally and almost brained myself on my desk a paragraph into reading one of my first fics so

i wrote some newtmas for a little while, some murphamy, some sciles/sterek, then another fandom i will not mention, and then the one prior to sb/mota that i will also not mention, and so many other little stints here and there over the past like 11/12 years 😭 but i have never written or brainrot as much shit for a fandom as i have with mota and i'm so so thankful it dragged me back into writing after a few years of not feeling the inspiration to open a doc <33

Broooo I’m your Whump Secret Santa or whatever and brooooo I’m a die hard Sterek and you’re a Die hard Sciles brooo I’m sitting here like *forcefully staring at Scott and Stiles but in a gay way* and cackling (also this is no hate to sciles hehe just poking fun!!)

Anyways you know what’s great about both these ships is we just love beating the shit out of Stiles 🥰❤️‍🩹

Yeah, the difference in the two ships is so big. I haven’t gotten into Sterek out of stubbornness on my part. The bad friend Scott trope that is present in too high of a % of Sterek fics turns me off of it. I love dark Scott and Stiles but I don’t like when he is bad just to get him out of the way or push Stiles toward Derek.

I actually have just had a conversation about a dark Sciles fic idea. I can’t get enough of them.

I have actually currently shifted all of my neurons over to The Maze Runner right now but Teen Wolf still holds my heart in a vice grip! :D
