Stiles: Girls?

Eli: Homicide.

Stiles: That's my boy!

The Dosric Family

A little bit of history of the two Tavs I'm gonna be playing with at launch!

The Dosric Family, hailing from the city of Neverwinter, consisted of Artel Dosric, his wife, Lynnette Hale, and their two children, Aleta and Nedry (1)(2). Artel was a half-elven wizard and guild member of the Many-Starred Cloak. For decades he served Neverwinter and the guild, all while keeping his true nature and Bhaal worship a secret. His wife, Lynn, was an inventor and the daughter of a wealthy merchant family, known for manufacturing weapons, armor, and machines of war. Their marriage was an arranged one and lead to the births of their two children. Aleta, a tiefling, is their eldest daughter and, much like her father, gifted with great magical potential. Artel took it upon himself to personally tutor his daughter, but Aleta was an unwilling student. Their son, Nedry, is as unremarkable as they come, but he makes up for it with his sunny disposition.

Lynn learned of Artel's Bhaal worship through Leslie Bean, a Harper who was investigating a series of murders happening within and around the outskirts of Neverwinter. Her leads directed her to Artel. With Lynn's help, Leslie was able to gather enough evidence to imprison Artel. In return, Lynn wanted to start a new life for herself and her two children. Since then, Lynn has set up her own shop and raised Aleta and Nedry within the grand city walls of Baldur's Gate...

firmly Other! they're both carlisle and esme's kids, but it's also less clear-cut than that.

this one could be made more complicated by the fact that jasper is significantly chronologically older than esme, but it's not like that factor has ever mattered to her before—she's not chronologically old enough to be edward's mother either, but definitely plays that role in his life.

from carlesme's end, they think of jasper and alice as their children. that simple. there was definitely a journey to get to that place, though, especially when it came to the more emotionally independent/less trusting in that "pitbull rescued from a dogfighting ring" way jasper. [I'm straying into hc-land from here on out but I think it jives with what's in the text.]

from jasper and alice's end... I think alice is much more eager to "play family" since in her mind she's never had another one (eg: she didn't even know her og surname was "brandon" until New Moon), and that she likewise sees them that way very simply. this is in part because she has little to no basis for comparison—what do you mean, human nuclear families don't let their "kids" manage all the investments and fly to paris or vegas on a whim and dress their parents and siblings? surely some of them do!

jasper definitely thought of himself as an in-law for many years, probably decades. I imagine it was a subtle war of attrition on carlesme's (mostly esme's) part to get him to think of himself as an actual part of the family. he was corrected "family, not coven!" a lot at the beginning, and had to mentally correct himself for even longer. but it's been 50 years by the time of canon, and I think he's quietly accepted that these people think of him as a son and while he may not need parents, per se, he does feel familial love for them and that's enough for him. (I personally think jasper and rosalie being "esme's nephew/niece" in the cover story hints at the less-nuclear-but-still-familial relationship there.)

people like to gatekeep jasper out of the family due to a) bella's line about how he was "always on the fringes" and b) the text acknowledging that if it ever comes down to it, he'll choose alice over the rest of them.

but poll the "audience" of edbella and rosemmett, and I think 100% of them would also put their partner first [over the rest of the family] if it really came down to it. the only ones who wouldn't are carlisle and esme, which is the core reason they read as parents to me in a way that even edbella don't. imo the difference between jasper and the others here is just that he's more decisive and experienced when it comes to making tough decisions—he's gonna act first and feel bad later, rather than agonizing over the choice itself as edward or bella would.

also, like.... that whole "he'll choose alice over the rest of them" thing comes from the middle act of Breaking Dawn, a story in which he rather crucially doesn't do that. it's alice who takes the two of them on the run, and they both return at the end, revealing that they never really abandoned the others and have been working to save them all this time. at the end, bella notably refers to him as "more central to the family picture than usual", (or something, I'm paraphrasing) which suggests to me that this experience—in which he has the chance to cut and run with alice and doesn't—has cemented him as part of the family even more.

so yeah tl;dr it's easy to say "jasper doesn't slot easily into the role of Son and is therefore not really part of the family" but ehhhh I think that's actually the more boring reading here ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Alice and Jasper

Canonically Esme and Carlisle think of all of the Cullen kids as "their children" but they are also all married to each other so they can't literally all be their children or they would be married to their siblings.

[lavender-at-heart]

do you think you could do like a sfw or nsfw (whatever you’re comfortable with) alphabet for Jasper hale?

Yes tysm for requesting, sorry this took so long! Enjoy!

Jasper Sfw Alphabet

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

-> affection would come very slow if you were a human

-> he'd be so scared to hurt you that if he held you at all it would be like holding fine china

-> and especially around other humans (at school) physical affection would be almost non existent save for perhaps a touch of the hand

-> he would show is affection in other ways, using his power to make you feel loved. Always doing small gestures. And verbally speaking affections towards you

-> however, after becoming more comfortable around you, when it's just you and his family, or if you become a vampire, I feel like he would be soooooo touchy.

-> he'd almost be as bad as Emmet, always holding you, sitting with you, etc. (He was probably so touched starved for most of his life that now he won't do anything but touch you)

B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)

-> he'd be super awkward at first, unsure of how to approach your relationship together. But you'd quickly realize he was an incredibly interesting person and enjoy being around him

-> it would be hard to control his thirst around you, but he'd invite you to his house to do homework, or go for long walks in the woods.

-> I don't think he'd be content with staying friends for long. He'd soon be asking you on a date to Coras, or the movie theatre, or maybe a picnic in the forest.

C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

-> I would say that he's not used to it, and when you first initiate it, he goes stiff as a board

-> but he soon falls in love with it. Whenever your relaxing in bed, watching a movie, etc. He'll tuck you into his side and rub circles on your back

D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)

-> He is quite domestic actually

-> having grown up in a more...domestic era, he really enjoys taking care of you at home

-> obviously he isn't used to cooking but he gets used to that. He much prefers that you eat at home. And he always makes the bed, runs you baths, etc.

-> if you aren't into cooking he will handle it, but if you do have a passion for baking or cooking he will make sure the kitchen is always stocked. He'll buy you pots and pans and all the utensils you might need. He does enjoy cooking with you.

E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

-> if he had to pull an Edward in New Moon, he'd go a similar route

-> obviously it would kill him to leave you, but he'd justify it, thinking it's too dangerous to be together

-> he'd use his powers to make you dispise him, and not want him anymore. Of course that wears off as soon as he leaves, but he would convince you that you want him to leave.

F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)

-> being old fashioned, and knowing that you are his mate, he would want to get married sooner rather than later. Why wait? He knew that you were made for eachother.

-> but he might also want you to enjoy being human while you can, maybe you'd both go on a big vacation before settling down

G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)

-> physically, he is very gentle, like I said before, you're like a porcelain doll to him. He is constantly admiring you and being very careful, always making sure you are safe

-> emotionally he is guarded, and it takes time to win his trust but once you do, you are the only one he feels truly comfortable with. He values you more than anything,

H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)

-> it's very hard to hug you at first, because of his control, he would prefer to hold your hand and gradually move to holding and hugging.

I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)

-> he knows that he loves you almost immediately

-> I'm not quite sure when he'd say it, he'd either say it soon (maybe too soon) or wait awhile, he wouldn't want to scare you off. And he is a reserved man, he'd make it abundantly clear that he loves you more than life, but saying it, well he might save that for a dramatic moment.

J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)

-> I would say it's hard for him to not get jealous becuase he can feel the other person's emotions

-> obviously this might be good becuase if the other person holds no romantic feelings for you, he has nothing to worry about. If they do though, it will be very very difficult for him to forget about it

K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)

-> he is very romantic and not at all casual with kisses. He puts all of his love and devotion into every kiss.

-> most of the time he'll kiss you on the mouth, but he also enjoys kissing the corners of your mouth, you fingers, your palms, and your forehead

L = Little ones (How are they around children?)

-> honestly, he hasn't been around children in so long, and he completely abandoned the idea of having a family

-> he'd be lying if he said being with a human didn't get him a little exited for the possibility of a family, he thought it could never happen. I feel like he is a very family man so he would want kids but he'd be really worry becuase it would put you in harms way.

M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)

-> obviously he doesn't sleep, so he spends his early mornings making you breakfast and tea/coffee, he'll put on an old record to slowly wake you up, and he'll hop back into bed to cuddle and watch you wake up

N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)

-> Jasper has a routine of reading every night, sometimes you'll read your own book beside him or you'll ask him to read out loud. He's really a great story teller. Some nights you'll ask him to tell you about all the stories and memories he's collected over the years

-> he likes to watch you brush you teeth and get ready for bed, for some reason he finds it so amusing

O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)

-> I would say that he's not too open, like he's open about his personality and he's confident in himself but when it comes to his past he is very closed off

-> but one day he just decides to bare his heart to you and reveal all of his misfortunes and mistakes. He might be afraid that it's too much backstory and too much messy history for a young human, but you handle it well.

P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)

-> Jasper is soooooo patient like I can't argue this enough. He's so patient that when he really does get angry it's so hard to tell because he still seems calm.

-> over his many years he's slowly gotten past hot-headedness and there's very few things that surprise or agitates him

Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)

-> I feel like he tries to commit every moment with you, every thing you say, to memory

-> he'll love asking questions about you and tried to remember everything

-> he loves letting you just rant and he could sit there for hours, just listening and nodding along

-> but sometimes, when you're ranting about this or that, he'll zone out. Not on purpose! He just starts thinking about how much he loves it when you rant and how nice you look while you do it, that he just starts gawking. Like you know that one lego batman audio? The blah blah blah one? Yeah that.

R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)

-> honestly I think meeting you for the first time would be an invaluable moment for him. Both of your lives irreversibly changed in that moment.

-> other than that, when he opened up about his past and he realized that he could tell you anything.

S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)

-> he would be super protective becuase your a human

-> after what happened to Bella he would be hyper aware of how dangerous vampires can be, and how delicate humans are

-> but you have so much faith in him, and he is sure in his own ability to keep you safe

T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)

-> I don't think he'd be worried about trying to hard. He knows you'll get along, he knows you both love eachother

-> but it's not about trying, he just does it. As I've said before he's old fashioned and just simply believes in always holding the door open, always getting you flowers, etc. And obviously bc he's rich asf he gets you nice presents.

U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)

-> definitely being so old, coming from times of different ways of thinking, maybe being stuck in his ways too much

-> sometimes he might manipulate your emotions, whether it's to make you feel good or bad, he does it once in a while.

-> sometimes he let's his inner turmoil effect his outside demenour and relationships, and that can be tricky. You might ask to talk about it but he is not at all used to sharing about his struggles.

V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)

-> he doesn't care much at all about his hair or anything like that especially becuase he's a vampire, he doesn't need to do anything to look perfect

-> but when it comes to how he dresses he is very formal with it. You will never catch this man in sweats and a hoodie😭. And if you go on a date or anything he will be dressing like it's 1949.

W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)

-> absolutely, once he's met you, he can never forget you or be the same.

-> he is used to people he knows dying though, so if you chose to stay human he will be able to pick himself up again, he will just always have you in mind. He'll do everything how you would want him to.

-> but if you become a vampire, you two would basically become one person. Never one without the other, doing everything together.

X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)

-> even though he's so old fashioned, he loves doing silly modern things with you

-> like going to malls and shopping, he loves that you made a build a bear of him, going to arcades, roller coasters, theme parks. It all makes him feel more human, almost normal.

Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)

-> I think if you had any big tattoos or dyed hair or piercings, he'd be...surprised. he wouldn't be disgusted by it, it would just take some getting used to. But he'd grow to love it

-> not talking to him when your upset annoys him a lot, he can feel that your upset but he has no clue why. Or he can feel your sad but you don't want to burden him.

-> also I have a feeling he's not a fan of rap, metal, hyper-pop, etc. So if you like that and listen to it, That could be a small peeve.

Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)

-> well, he doesn't sleep. Normally he'll stay with you in bed, imagining he was asleep, sort of in a meditative trance. He finds it super peaceful

-> otherwise he'll just be hunting or spending time in the forest, he likes to get hunting out of the way when your sleeping so he can spend all your waking moments together.

A Day To Remember

Jasper Hale x Fem!Reader [989+ Words]

Summary: Jasper takes his human mate back to his home state, Texas, for some time away from their families.

Disclaimer: Please do not repost my work to other sites or claim as your own, this is purely written from my imagination and from the help of the franchise. All rights of the main storyline goes to the writers and producers of Twilight.

WARNINGS: FLUFF // JASPER BEING A GENTLEMAN // USE OF Y/N // UNEDITED

Jasper hadn't been back to Texas in almost 200 years, not after everything that had happened. Not after what he had done. But it seemed he couldn't deny the request of his mate when she asked to see the state where he grew up, where he became the man she valued and loved. So he did just that.

Jasper had planned everything secretly, with the help of his sister Alice of course. Packing up the car with all the essential things Y/n might need before getting in the car and driving all the way across town to pick her up.

Driving cross-country wasn't the best thing in the world but Jasper was thankful he didn't need to sleep or eat, otherwise the journey would've taken longer. As Y/n slept peacefully in the passenger seat, Jasper held her hand ever so delicately, tracing soft patterns into her knuckles. To say he loved her would be an understatement, he was infatuated with her. The way her lips parted ever so slightly as she breathed, how her eyes would flutter every so often, the soft rosy pink tint across her cheeks. Jasper felt things for her on a whole other level, it was like he was consumed by her.

By the time they made it to the hotel Alice had booked for the pair, it was midday. The sun hiding away behind thick, grey clouds as rain pitter pattered against the windshield. Jasper gently shook Y/n, careful not to startle her. She opened her eyes, blinking a few times until her vision was no longer blurry. Looking up at Jasper, a small smile tugged at her lips almost instantly. She leaned over the centre console, pecking the blonde vampires lips ever so softly. Jasper let out a quiet hum of content, his hand trailing along the underside of her jaw as he pulled her closer, savouring the taste and feel of her lips before pulling away.

Jasper, being the gentleman he is, got out the car first, holding up his forefinger to Y/n as if telling her to stay there as he rounded the car and opened her door, holding out his hand for her to take. Y/n slipped her hand into Jasper's, slowly getting out the passenger side of the car as Jasper shut the door behind her. His arm wrapping around her waist as he lead her inside the hotel lobby. As they got their room situated, the bellhop took their luggage to bring it up for them, though Jasper insisted he could do it.

The following day, Jasper and Y/n headed out for a little sightseeing trip around Texas, starting in Houston. Jasper took Y/n out for breakfast, telling her all the stories about when he was a young lad running around this specific part of the city. After breakfast, they had gotten back into the car, driving all the way down to Orange County. Y/n was unbeknownst to anything Jasper had planned, the young girl just going along with everything he said or did.

After an hour or so, the car stopped outside Shangri La. A botanical garden and nature centre. The weather hadn't cleared up, still the same gloomy sky as yesterday but Y/n didn't mind, it meant less people being around and Jasper wouldn't get found out for being a vampire.

The pair walked throughout the gardens hand in hand, Y/n pointing out the array of flowers growing all around. Jasper just smiled, watching her ramble on about her favourite flowers with a smitten look on his face. God he loved her, how did he get so lucky. The blonde vampire had lead his mate to a more secluded area, the pond of the blue moon, sitting down on the wooden platform as they looked out at the deep blue water around them.

"It's beautiful.." Y/n breathed out, her voice soft as she spoke. Jasper hummed in return, his topaz eyes glued to her face. "It sure is." He said, his voice barely above a whisper. Jasper gently cupped the side of her face, turning it so she could look at him. His thumb rubbing small circles into the skin of her cheek.

"I want to ask you something, something I've been dying to ask you from the moment I met you.." Y/n looked at Jasper in confusion, her head tilted ever so slightly to the side before she nodded her head, urging her mate to speak. Jasper let out a breath he didn't know he was holding, not like he had lungs that even worked, before he grabbed her hand and held it lightly in his own.

"I have loved you from the moment we met, I knew you were the one I wanted from the very first time I felt every ounce of your emotions swarm my head like a plague. You accepted every part of me, being a vampire, playing a part in a war that took thousands of lives.. you loved me even when I didn't believe I could be loved. I want to spend the rest of our lives together, whether you want to grow old or you would prefer to go through the change, I want to be there for it all. What I'm trying to say is.. will you marry me?"

Silence. Pure silence. Before Y/n threw her arms around Jasper's shoulders as she squealed in happiness. He could feel the joy radiating off her. The raw, unfiltered euphoria coursing through her like a wildfire. Her soft rants of "yes, one thousand times yes" falling from her lips as she hugged the vampire closer, clinging to him like a lifeline. Never in a hundred years has Jasper felt this content, this at peace within himself and it was all down to the girl wrapped tightly within his arms, like armour protecting her from anything and everything.

Omg do you have any Mafia AU recs???? They’re dreamy, I love every would-kill-for-Stiles Derek

I just realized I've read so little...

A Criminal and His Lucky Charm by Dexterous_Sinistrous

Please forgive yourself.

For what?

For allowing yourself to let someone in. For letting me love you. I didn’t deserve it, but that wasn’t your fault. Derek, please, just do it. Please— please don’t drag this out.

Derek Hale valued Stiles above everyone—everything. And Stiles betrayed that. In the end, he figured if he had to die, dying in Derek’s arms wasn’t so bad. He could at least have that.

Hand of the Devil by shiny_starlight

For years, Hale and his family had escaped justice, but the day of reckoning had come. His comfortable life was about to come crashing down about his ears and Adrian was going to relish every single second of it.

Do Knot Get In A Strangers Car by KnottheWolf

Prompt: Mob boss Derek sees Stiles and instantly wants him to be his, and he'll do anything to make Stiles see it too.

I can't not mention Tax Evasion by standinginanicedress, bc these series built me as a person

Checks and Balances by AwaitTheMorrow

Stiles starts dating Derek after a chance encounter and can't believe how lucky he is.

Derek is smart, funny and genuinely the sweetest person Stiles has ever met. The guy is perfect.

…Maybe a little too perfect.

Consigliere by neil4god

It's been years since Danny left Beacon Hills behind and everything that happened in it. He moved on, joined the FBI and forgot all about his junior year of High School. At least he tried, but with Stiles Stilinksi leering at him from the FBI's most wanted board, well that makes it kinda hard to forget, and now they want to know all about it. They want him to talk to Stiles, worse still, they want him to wear a wire while he does it.

[deathsbestgirl]

okay so here comes a super incoherent post about beyond the sea, never again, season 6, all things and beyond.

i was thinking about how cyclical scully is. in beyond the sea, her father just died and she's struggling partially because of how different their relationship became since she "left" medicine for the fbi. she didn't make him happy or proud before he died, things were left unsteady and the first thing she does is believe boggs, thinking her belief would please mulder. but it didn't, it scared him. but it did get a reaction out of him. something she didn't really get from her father. he was still mildly affectionate but he didn't really want to hear about her job — something she's so excited about in that first year.

slight tangent: scully is always encouraging mulder. at the least, she's taking his theories seriously, no matter how outlandish she may think them. in little green men, she sees her friend in a haze of depression, and she's going to pull him out of it. he starts talking about george hale seeing elves and she tells him 'but the telescope still got made.' and the only trace of him is george hale on a list of passengers to puerto rico. so many of scully's issues boil down to perceived failure and she never lets mulder bask in it either. something that takes him a little longer to figure out.

anyway. by the time we get to never again, they just experienced paper hearts & el mundo gira — a case about murdered little girls whose families have no answers, where she failed mulder & skinner. another case about immigrants — people ignored & invisible (this time the "aliens" are the victim of a cruel system that doesn't care, but they care). two failures, two cases hitting close to home.

when i think of scully, i think of that line from supergirl when kara tells cat she just wants to be useful to someone. i very much believe that's similar to scully. she didn't care about capital H humanity until mulder showed her the way. she followed mulder because she was so touched by is compassion & relentlessness. she believes in him, but she doesn't quite believe in herself nearly the same.

scully talks about wanting a life from time to time. she tells mulder in bts she loves her job — and that's the truth. but it doesn't mean the work is enough for her. and when she's feeling like she isn't useful, hasn't been of value, like she's invisible. well, she hits that wall. she spent so much of season two telling mulder she's fine, she's back, she needs to work, she's lost so much time already. but somehow, the x files are still only his. for mulder, that's a defense mechanism. believing everything that's happened to her is his fault, that her assignment is only temporary because he believes in her so much. i don't think it's an ownership. he invites scully into everything (except when he's impulsive or he doesn't want to endanger her for his personal quest).

but scully. she needs to know. so she tells ed about the way she rebels and how there are other fathers. in na, she doesn't have the evidence of her importance to the x files or to mulder, only to be smacked in the face with her cancer diagnosis. where he does everything she asks of him in memento mori. where she writes letter after letter to him as she lies dying in a hospital bed, desperately grasping at this treatment that hasn't saved a single woman. every single episode she's faced with what her death will do to mulder, and she can't bear it. she begs forgiveness for leaving him, begs that we won't make her his next cause, that he will live & keep searching for the truth. he celebrates her birthday, gives her a gift that only she could find his meaning in. and when she doesn't die, she's reinvigorated. she's excited to be back at work with him. she thinks maybe they can move forward, makes a joke about agents consorting as she opens wine. and when he runs into the woods after mothmen, she understands and waits for the call. but she doesn't just let him off the hook and he doesn't really want her to. the answer is the same though, so she waits and she follows him and they do the work & look for the truth.

in ftf, they're being punished for something that isn't their fault and everyone knows it. she's been reassigned and she tells him she's going but scully knew. she went to him so he could change her mind (like he did in redux) and he tells her she made him a whole person. just because it's hard & frustrating doesn't mean he doesn't need her. she's the only reason they have anything to go on, but it's also much more personal than that — and that's kind of the crux of it. the work is personal and he let scully into all of it. all of their cases are dates.

season six, scully keeps asking mulder to get out of the car. he finally learns the lesson in the unnatural. it isn't that she doesn't love the x files, love working with him. she just wants more. she doesn't want it to be her entire life (their entire life). and so she keeps hitting that wall!!

in all things, scully hits that wall again. despite the fact they are together, and they're happier than they've ever been. but it almost feels like it happens just because it's a pattern, and she had a recent failure in en ami that really cut her, and mulder. even that didn't really set them back. (except mulder's fear about what scully knew of his brain disease, and csm's true motive with enticing scully. sorry guys i'm invested lol) it's almost like a fake crisis, and not michelle (omfg what's her name lol) just enlightens her. gives meaning to what she's feeling, and sets her on the path to move forward and not just in her typical cycle. it's such an episode of scully breaking her patterns. she puts faith in another belief system. she returns to her past to understand she's where she's meant to be, where she wants to be. that her choices are completely valid, not just to her or mulder, but to the world. they made a new blueprint just for them and that's one of the most incredible things anyone can do. and all not michelle did was share her story and the patterns she recognizes everywhere because of her own experience. not michelle did for scully what mulder & melissa have done for her before. opening her mind, giving her courage & security & strength.

anyway. did that make any sense?

Stiles Summer Stories 2024

--

Part 3: The Bonfire

Dinner was a huge success. Everyone huddled around the bonfire, the flame throwing that soft glow that set the mood. Laughter and conversation filled the space between them, shoulders bumping, arms wrapped around each other. And after food, there had to be dessert, of course. Who would Stiles be if he hadn't brought marshmallows, crackers and chocolate, after all?

"Here," Derek offered Stiles a smore.

He'd been making multiple ones at the same time, handing them out to the entire pack. Stiles found himself happy to accept the treat. The bonfire painted beautiful shadows on Derek, the shadows of his lashes dancing over his cheeks. It made his Sourwolf look unusually soft.

There was laughter and there were stories. Surprisingly, Boyd told the best ghost stories, he really knew how to deliver them. And if Stiles ducked just a little closer to Derek, the Alpha at least didn't seem to mind, or notice. Stiles munched on another smore and enjoyed the closeness and warmth from his Alpha. He may not have werewolf senses but he still relished in Derek's scent.

"We should do this more often," Allison smiled. "Though I'll come hunting with you tomorrow."

Derek hummed softly. "We used to do this, when I was young."

"I remember," Cora whispered. "Faintly. But… it was nice. I remember dad's barbecue. Mom and the other older wolves would go and hunt, and dad would prepare dinner."

"Yeah?" Stiles kept his voice gentle, trying to get the Hales to talk more.

They so rarely brought up their family, their old pack. Especially not in a positive context. Filled with pain and grief, maybe. But they rarely shared good memories. Stiles wanted to hear every good story they had, he wanted to know everything that made Derek happy.

"Why didn't your dad go hunting with the rest of the pack?" Scott asked confused.

"Our dad was human," Derek replied, his eyes on the bonfire but the look very far away. "There were multiple humans in the pack, mates to the wolves and children who took after their human parent. Dad took care of them, made sure they'd feel bonded with the pack too."

Stiles blinked in awe. He hadn't known that Derek and Cora's father was human. The Alpha Mate had been human? Was that a thing? Sure, he knew the pack valued him, but at times, he still felt a distance. There were things he just couldn't do, or feel, because he was human. But if someone who had the second highest rank in the pack – higher than the right or right hand – could be human? Then maybe the difference between werewolf and human didn't matter all that much.

"Going out to hunt together was actually an exercise in coordinated attack too, on top of being a bonding experience," Derek whispered, the far-away look turning more sad. "Mom… always knew how to make the work and training aspects fun. I just…"

Without thinking on it, Stiles reached out a hand to rest on Derek's arm in comfort. He knew where the Alpha was going with this. He thought he wasn't as good an Alpha as Talia, couldn't live up to the Hale legacy. And maybe he wasn't, but he was on his way. He was working on himself. Becoming a better Alpha, the longer he was one. With Stiles' help, he'd started teaching the betas how to control themselves without pain, by finding their own anchors – the way Stiles had helped Scott channel his love for Allison as his anchor. Derek wasn't a bad Alpha, he was just someone born to be a beta, who had never been taught to be an Alpha, and he had been raised in a pack of born wolves, so he struggled to relate to the ones who'd been turned through the bite. Derek turned to look at Stiles with soft, warm eyes and the smallest hint of a smile.

"We could make this like a once a month thing," Isaac leaned back, looking up into the starry sky. "Going away for a weekend to go camping together."

"That sounds like a good idea," Lydia agreed.

Lydia, who'd argued against camping and sleeping on the ground with insects all around. But she too could see that this meant something to Derek. They all could see it. The closer their pack grew, the more in tune with each other did they get. Jackson, with his arm around Lydia, hummed his agreement, Boyd and Scott voicing their enthusiasm for the idea, everyone else smiling in encouragement and confirmation at their Alpha.

"It's getting late," Derek cleared his throat and got up. "Let's clean up and head to bed. I want to go on a morning run with you at sunrise."

They all worked together cleaning up and putting all the left over food away so it won't attract any wild animals to their camp ground before each duo headed into their tent. Which was when the challenging part started for Stiles. He tried not to look at Derek while the Alpha got changed because werewolves could smell arousal, and instead focused on getting changed.

Once in his shirt and sweatpants, he settled in, burrowing deep in his sleeping bag. His eyes were on Derek though, the older man laying so close. There was something near domestic to getting ready for bed and turning in together like this and Stiles' heart was thumping like a rabbit. He shuddered at the cold of the night. Right. Because sleeping in a tent in the forest during autumn might not be the greatest idea ever. He pulled his sleeping bag closer around himself.

"You're cold," Derek noted, eyebrows furrowed.

"Amazing observation skills, Sourwolf," Stiles gave him a deadpan. "What gave it away? The way I am burritoing myself into my sleeping bag, or the shivering?"

A soft, annoyed growl and an eye-roll was all Stiles' hard-worked sarcasm got him though. It said a lot about how far they'd come that all Stiles got for being obnoxious was mild annoyance and that Stiles fully stopped feeling threatened by any kind of growling happening.

"C'mere," Derek huffed and lifted his own sleeping bag.

It took Stiles embarrassingly long to piece together what Derek was suggesting because his brain fully refused to believe that was actually happening. "Do you want to cuddle with me?"

The look Derek gave him at that should actually physically hurt, it was quite impressive. "You're cold. I'm not. Wolves run hotter. You can also stay over there, freezing your ass off, if you prefer."

"Oh, hell no," Stiles huffed and dove straight for the Alpha.

He gave a content little sigh as he snuggled up to the living radiator known as Derek Hale. Wolves really did run hot. Squishing his cheek against Derek's chest, he did his best to press up against Derek for maximum heat exposure. Derek made a small noise that Stiles couldn't really tell what it meant before he wrapped his own sleeping bag around them both.

And this totally wasn't weird. It wasn't. Not at all. Pack cuddled all the time. They had puppy piles during pack nights, when the wolves returned from their run they'd all huddle together in the den in an entanglement of limbs. Just because this was only Derek and Stiles, all alone, did not make it weird, it was just like pack cuddles. Nothing weird going on at all. No, sir.

"This was a good idea, Stiles," Derek's voice was… warm. "Thank you."

"Thank you, huh," Stiles grinned a little. "Gotta mark that down in my calendar."

Derek heaved a sigh at that. "Shut up, Stiles."

"See, now that's more like the Sourwolf I know," Stiles snuggled a little closer. "Night, Der."

Derek tucked Stiles under his chin, arms around him. "Good night, Stiles."

/break\

Running wild in the forest had felt so good. He loved doing it at the preserve, but here, in the mountains, mapping a territory he wasn't familiar with yet, and with his pack at his side, it felt different. Hunting down their dinner himself. They needed to do that again. And bringing the game to his mate, if Derek was able to turn into a full wolf he would have wagged his tail in excitement when Stiles praised him for bringing him the deer. Human Derek simply grunted.

It hadn't even hurt to talk about his family, like it usually did. There was just… warmth, in sharing this with his pack. Happiness. It nearly felt like healing. Like he was finally reclaiming what had been taken from him – his land, his home, his pack. He was on the right path. A big part of him still wished he wouldn't have to, but the other part knew he couldn't change the past and that clinging onto it and onto the pain wasn't going to do him any good. His betas had shown him that. By trying to cling to how things used to be, he had alienated them and nearly lost them.

He did come to regret Stiles' sleeping arrangement choices though, because when they headed into their tent, Derek found himself all alone in a small, enclosed space with Stiles. Sleepy, cute Stiles, shivering, cold Stiles. And being unable to watch his mate shiver close by, Derek had offered Stiles to sneak into his sleeping bag. Just to keep Stiles warm, because he didn't want the human to catch a cold. Because Derek was being a good Alpha these days. Good Alphas didn't let their pack members freeze. If his inner wolf was purring happily and if Derek slept better that night than he had since the fire, then that was between him and his inner wolf.

Waking up surrounded by Stiles' scent, with his mate safely tucked against his chest, was the best feeling Derek could imagine and he wished every day could start like this. He wished Stiles could be his. But Stiles deserved so much better than what Derek had to offer. Though he was working on himself, he still struggled with communication, he still growled more than he talked, snapped when people didn't understand the things that were natural and obvious to him. He was still plagued by his past, by his survivor's guilt twice over, by all the trauma he'd been through. That was too much to burden anyone with. Why would Stiles want to be stuck with all of that. With him.

"Mornin', Sourwolf," Stiles' voice was rough with sleep.

His nose rubbed against Derek's collarbone, making Derek shudder at the skin-contact and at how cold it was. He instinctively pulled Stiles closer to warm him up more. Derek wanted to stay in this moment forever, the soft noises of the forest waking up outside, the morning chill in the air but the warmth of his mate on his chest as they slowly woke up.

The moment was destroyed by Scott opening the tent. "He—ey, Derek, what about the ru-"

The beta abruptly stopped talking and stared at them in mild bewilderment. Because they were cuddling. Because that wasn't something Derek and Stiles did. Should do. Reluctantly, Derek let go of his mate, allowing Stiles to sit up and stretch. His shirt riled up just a little, revealing a sliver of pale skin doted with moles that Derek had not yet gotten to see.

"Less chipper this early in the morning, Scotty boy," Stiles yawned. "Go and put that energy into hunting down breakfast. No, not hunt. Don't bring me raw meat for breakfast. How about you round up the other puppies and make sure they're all awake and ready because the way I know you guys, Erica is probably still asleep and Jackson is still doing his hair, so no point in bothering Derek yet. Make sure everyone is ready by the time Derek joins you. Shoo, now."

Scott gave them one last doubtful look but then he simply obeyed. Something that was affecting Derek more and more the longer it went on. Stiles commanding the betas. It was marvelous now naturally Stiles took over his role as Alpha Mate without even knowing. Derek's inner wolf was whining happily and practically begging for belly-rubs from Stiles. And that, Derek was never going to admit. Instead, he turned to get changed.

"Speaking of hunt. I didn't know you could take apart a deer."

"C'mo—on. Sheriff's son!" Stiles motioned vaguely. "In a small town! With a forest!"

"Flailing disaster who keeps falling flat on his face," Derek argued dryly. "Would not trust with a gun or a knife. Much less both of them."

Stiles narrowed his eyes in indignation but he knew Derek was right so he didn't argue, making Derek smirk. Beyond the way Stiles complimented him as a leader, Derek loved their banter the most. He loved how Stiles had never, at no point in their relationship, backed down from him. Even when Derek had still been a stranger and a danger, Stiles had been filled with snark. Derek loved it. Derek loved Stiles.

This kinda confuses me— I can see your point because it is a trend in the show, but it’s little odd to seemingly equate “happy” families to “full” families as though you can’t be happy in anything other than a nuclear family? Because in the show they make it exceedingly clear that they very much still are happy families.

Scott’s parents are divorced, yes, but he and Melissa have one of the strongest, most unconditionally loving bonds between parent and child in the entire show, and they depend on each other deeply. Stiles’ mom passed away, but he and Noah are incredibly close and support and take care of each other to the point that it’s one of the through lines of the show. Allison and her family have some big conflicts, but over the course of the first few seasons, she and Chris come to know each other and communicate with each other openly, authentically, and lovingly. Lydia’s relationship with her mother is sometimes on the rocks, but at the end of the day, Natalie cares about doing what is best for her daughter, and they’re shown to have a close connection.

Not only that, but the parents frequently show up for the other kids too. There’s plenty of scenes of Melissa looking out for Stiles and Noah looking out for Scott, Chris putting his life on the line protecting the main kiddos, Noah being a shoulder to cry on for Allison. Even characters like Deaton or Derek (over time) or Braeden (also over time), who aren’t parents, but are shown to commit themselves time and time again to the well-being of the younger main cast, are there representing the value of people in the pack’s lives that aren’t family by definition, but are family because of their unwavering devotion to each other. If you think about it, it’s honestly a great example of the importance of chosen family, because that at it’s core is what the pack is.

The effort made to express that these families that American television might consider “unconventional” can and do function is a factor of the show that really makes it work— is it always perfect? No, of course not. But that’s how families are, and the existence of these bonds is one of the show’s grounding aspects— you know that the love is there, and that when all else fails, you can rely on these familial bonds to bring things back together.

Does Teen Wolf just not like full families?

I mean Stiles's mom is dead. Scott's parents are divorced. Victoria Argent died. Isaac's parents are dead. Ethan and Aiden don't seem to have parents. Derek's parents are dead. Lydia's parents are implied to be divorced or something as such. Eli doesn't have a mom. Chris has uh bad parents. Jackson's parents are dead. Maila's parents are... Like why can't we have happy families?

Delivering Justice

(Should Scott deliver justice for the Hale family before or after this scene?)

I can't get out of my head the Teen Wolf rewrite idea that appeared in the #scott mccall tag (because of course it did). Let me reproduce it.

I want someone to rewrite Teen Wolf, but making it about Scott bringing Justice to the Hales and restoring some sort of supernatural balance, and saving the town from a curse or destruction or whatever brought on by that crime, by bringing justice and forcing the Argents to face the consequences of their actions, from both a human and a cosmic pov (i still think Allison should have been the one to kill Kate). Even if he doesn’t like the guy because of his issues with male authority, he sees that what happened was an atrocity and vows to make things right.

The fundamental racism of this post is undeniable. The fundamental misogyny of this post comes in a very close second. I'm sure that some people are scratching their heads about how I came to this conclusion, so let me explain. It's about whose lives are considered important.

Notice, first off, that in this proposed rewrite, they don't talk about what happens to Scott at all. What will change for him in this story? Is he still a sixteen-year-old lacrosse player at the start with asthma and a broken home? Is he still attacked by a power-mad Peter in the woods and transformed against his will? Does Peter still mentally and physically violate him? Does Derek still stalk him, beat him, manipulate him and sell him out to his uncle? Will Derek and Peter be required to set aside their own personal trauma to train Scott to be able to "bring justice" to the Argents or will Scott just have to figure it out by himself with the help of his just-as-much-in-over-his-head best friend once again?

As an aside, Scott does not have issues with male authority, because the Hales were not authorities over him. See here.

Notice that the consequences of actions should only fall upon the Argent family. Maybe after Scott is done restoring the balance for the Hale Fire, he can restore the balance for Paige Kraiskeva? Or for Julia Baccari? Or Braeden? Or Marie-Jeanne? Or for the entire village in Gévaudan? Or for the victims of Aiden and Ethan's alpha? I have a feeling that the OP may not know who half those people are, so let me put it another way. The show made it clear that the Hale Fire wasn't unique. Derek said as much. The endless war between Werewolf and Hunter has continued for centuries. Why does this particular instance need balancing? Because good looking white men cried about it? Because the primary culprit was a woman? In any event, why is it a good thing that Allison should have to pay for Kate's crimes? What is attractive about having Allison murder her aunt, someone she sees as her sister, for a crime that happened when she was eleven years old? Or does Allison have to earn the right to be a good guy by killing another woman?

Notice that the OP completely missed that Teen Wolf was almost entirely about Scott bringing justice and restoring supernatural balance! He did it by saying "No!." He did it by stopping the self-destructive spiral of endless vengeance. He did it by refusing to accept the ancient calculus that a crime can only be redressed by committing more crimes. He did it by valuing each life, ranging from a supernatural serial killing werewolf who personally tormented him to people he didn't even know, for their own sake. He delivered it by not privileging one life over another. That was Teen Wolf's central tenet! The Hale Fire would never be balanced by an Argent fire; it would only be balanced by Hale Auto.

This is the poison that runs through the core of this fandom. It isn't enough that Scott spent the first 36 episodes of a show which was supposed to be about him cleaning up the mess of the Hale/Argent feud. It isn't enough that he looked past Peter's viciousness, Derek's brutality, and Cora's hostility to care for them when he absolutely did not have to. Of course not; it will never be enough, not for a fandom that says, again and again and again for over 12 effing years: "I love Teen Wolf, but I would love it more if it was entirely about white people!"

BUT IT'S NOT RACISM.

🎃🎃🎃🎃 Halloween Imagine 🎃🎃🎃🎃

Imagine: Derek Hale your loving husband trying to single you to Not invite your parents to the pumpkin patch

Traditions were something Derek held close to his heart, considering he’s entire family was killed in a horrible fire that destroyed Not only just his family but he’s memories. It made sense that he would Value traditions even closer to his heart.

One Tradition was a Corny one.. your first date with the complicated sour wolf was going to a Pumpkin Patch, October 21. Close to Halloween but Not overly crowded. Derek still remembers how nervous he was to ask you out. you lived across the street from him. In the apartments. It was before Eli came to his life. You were a ray of sunshine. He instantly thought of Stiles when he saw you first. Clumsy and quick Witt. Honestly he was convinced for the first year of you living across from him that you were related to Stiles. During that first year he met SHE who Must NOT be named. He’s very Hot.. steamy Fling.. a passionate Fling that ended with her ghosting him for nine months and then dropping Eli at his door. And then running away. It was you who found the baby first. Derek was out helping the Shierff with a problem and you entertained Eli with the bit of things that was left for him. A few bottles, a bag of diapers nothing thrilling when Derek arrived. Home he saw you with a baby and he was stunned as you told him that their was a note.

he’s world spinner upside down once realizing he had a Son. And then he had to Figure out how to raise a baby. You having a baby sister. Who you helped care for, and little nieces and nephews you couldn’t Help but Help Derek.. especially after he tried waking up Eli.. the.Rule of thumb you NEVER wake a baby! You basically tackled him when Derek tried. It was then that Derek realized you were unconditionally Kind. You would make extra food for him to eat while you instantly helped with Eli and more times then not he came back from “work” which was him helping with a wolf pack or the sheriff to find you sitting on a rocking chair a old wooden one that you gave him to help With Eli. You would be holding Eli to you as you rocked him. But be dead asleep as Eli would be fast asleep. It was October 20th When Derek got the courage to ask you out. And he took you to a Pumpkin patch on the 21st. It was now tradition. The date was supposed to be just the two of you, but Derek’s sitter got sick. And you happily put on the “kangaroo do da’ as you called that that holds the baby to the chest. As a bundle. You always forgot the name and just called it that.

it was half way thur the maze as you were holding Dereks’ hand tightly as Eli was fast asleep in a little hat that you insited to bring. That Derek realized. That he was yours. Completely and utterly yours. It was when he realized. You were he’s Soulmate. The other half he was waiting for.

It was a Speical date and for the first few years. After dating and marriage, Eli would go with. But he was too “Old for that’ now to go with his parents so Derek would drag his favorite girl with you.

The last year of a family of three.. you were round. Pregnancy wasn’t what you expected… the “Glow” every talks about is just sweat. You were even hotter due to the wolf.. it had to be because she was a wolf. Because you were sweating buckets and the doctor Figured it was just pregnancy. Your local witch doctor figured it was due to the wolf gene. You were taking three showers if you coudl a day. Seven months. You were sitting at the kitchen table. Sitting resting your swollen ankles. You Knew you were being a absolute nightmare to Derek and Eli. So thru out the pregnancy you were leaving small tokens of “Sorry im a massive Beep right now”

Your Loving husband would refuse to agree with you that you were being a nightmare. Valuing his Life. Vs giving into the truth. Learning from how you snapped at Eli when he said you were hormonal… it wasn’t often he was scared of you- but that night he feared for Eli’s life. But alos. Took note.. Don’t tell you that your Hormonal he understood. The pregnancy was tough. Which was why he appreciated your kind little gifts. It made him realize the women he loved was still under the Sweaty mess that was you.

you were writing a ‘thank you” note to Eli for helping out with hte dishes. And giving him a 50 dollar gift card. When your phone rang. And Derek just walked in when you answer. It was your parents. Derek walked over kissing your head as you spoke, “Hey mom.”

“Hey sweetheart- your father and i were hoping to sneak down for the weekend and visit you and help out.”

Derke turned hearing that. He coudln’t help it. He’s ears were ringing when he heard your moms voice. Derek didn’t mind your parents.- they hated Him. He was older, a father to a Son that you instantly accepted as your own.. they could look passed ALL that but they still blame Derek for you two eloping. They weren’t overly aggressive to Derke. And they loved Eli and accepted him as a grandkid. But they were still stand of fish to Derek. Even after years later. Luckily they lived seven hours away and they NEVER Visit. You always have to go to them. So hearing them willing to drive down to them. Derek was stunned as you spoke, “oh- ugh.. we have plans we can’t change this weekend. Ugh.. what about next weekend?”

“what’s happening this weekend?”

You rubbed your head as you spoke, “we just- have plans…”

“Wait- is it that silly Pumpkin Patch you guys always do? Isin’t Eli too old for that?”

“Well- Yea.. but he’s going with his friends. It’s just Me and Derek going. It’s tradition. We always go on the 21st. .you can’ come next weekend.”

“Why dont we all go together?”

Your face went blank hearing that. As Derek shook his head mouthing out No, as he started waving his hands singling No. as your face flinched up , your hand went to your head as you said “ Sure… that be nice.” Derek leaned his head back trying nNot to groan out as you finished your chat with your mom. Derek stared at you once you were off the phone as you spoke, ‘what was i suppose to say? No? I can’t say No to mom!”

“that’s our thing!”

“it’s a family outing has ALWAYS Been a family date day.. their family.” “it’s the last one before Sabrina comes.”

“Who’s Sabrina? My child isn’t being named after a witch!”

Derek rubbed his face, “alright.. June..”

a common discussion in the house.. names for the baby.. you both tried the 2 veto’s thing. But that didn’t work, you then suggested Eli named his sister.. But then he came back with Prune which neither of you liked. You rubbed your belly, “Sasha.”

“No!”

You smiled nudging Derek with your foot, “you know— we could just put names in a hat and whatever is picked is it?"

He chucked shaking his head," no.. what about Felicia?"

" Felicia? So people can always say " bye Felicia? No!! No!"

This battle probably won't stop till the baby is born

• ESTJs embody law and order, applying their strong sense of right and wrong to uphold what is acceptable in society. They play a crucial role in holding families and communities together, and are valued for their clear advice and practical guidance. As natural leaders, ESTJs take pride in uniting people and often become community organizers, working hard to strengthen social bonds.

• In democratic societies, the demand for ESTJ leaders is high, and it’s no surprise that many prominent politicians and business leaders are ESTJs. They believe authority must be earned and lead by example, demonstrating diligence, honesty, and a strong work ethic. ESTJs are confident in their knowledge and principles, even under pressure, and take on challenging projects, organising and improving them with efficiency.

• While they expect others to match their reliability and work ethic, ESTJs can be seen as inflexible when others fall short. However, this stems from their deep belief that society is built on these values. As law-abiding citizens, ESTJs help their neighbors, uphold the law, and encourage community involvement. Their main challenge is recognizing that not everyone can follow the same path or contribute equally, but they have the skills to lead in a way that unites diverse strengths toward a common goal.

Strengths: dedicated, strong-willed, direct and honest, loyal, patient and reliable, enjoy creating order, excellent organisers.

Weaknesses: inflexible and stubborn, uncomfortable with change, judgmental, too focused on social status (nervousness), difficulty expressing emotion.

ESTJ characters: Hermione Granger (Harry Potter film), Monica Geller (Friends), Isabela Madrigal (Encanto), Tiana (The Princess and the frog), Robb Stark (Game of Thrones), Emma Gilbert (H2O), Rosalie Hale (Twilight).
