**The Best of the Best: Must-Read Fanfiction Gems**

Hello everyone! As a long-time fanfiction reader and enthusiast, I've come across some incredible stories that have left a lasting impact on me. These are the fanfics that are so well-written and captivating, they deserve to be published as books. Here are my top picks from my favorite fandoms:

Okay before we get into this, a little warning: please read the tags that come with each fanfic. I don't put smutty stuff in here either. (I'll make a separate post for that). There may be some scenes in the fics, but it's not the main focus. This is about story, characters and storytelling. Also, I didn't list all the fics, probably because I haven't read them yet or simply forgot. Besides, that would just make the post even longer than it is right now. I will definitely do more posts on each fandom, different tropes, characters and settings. Be patient, I'm doing this mainly for myself so that I can better organize my fics. I'm just not that active in some fandoms. If you have any suggestions, feel free to write them and I will read them.

1/4

I can only post 10 links per Post (tumblr does not allow more than 10)

Teen Wolf Fandom:

1. It came from the trees by whatshouldntbe

it came from the trees 🍉 - Chapter 1 - whatshouldntbe - Teen Wolf (TV) [Archive of Our Own]

“Don’t worry, Scott caught me up on everything,” Kira assures with a bubbly smile via video-chat. “You and Derek, huh? I probably should have seen that coming. I always thought it might be Cora, but Derek was the one that looked at you how I used to look at you.”

Stiles goes a little pink. “It’s still kinda new but, yeah. I really like him. He’s...” Beautiful. Patient. Smart. Painfully honest. Sweet. “...a total dork.”

Kira laughs and laughs. When she gets herself together, she replies, “Yeah, those little hearts and stars in your eyes definitely say different."

Stiles moves from the shiny, fast-paced lifestyle of Los Angeles to the foggy, sleepy town of Beacon Hills so his dad can become the new sheriff. Newly fifteen, he does his best to finish out his freshman year of high school (by staying under the radar) when he suddenly becomes the Beyoncé of the Supernatural community. And, without much prompting on his part, he ends up catching the eye of one of the most prominent Werewolf families in all of North America. It literally all starts with a stuffed animal(s).

🍉 THIS FIC HAS BEEN ABANDONED; READ AT YOUR OWN RISK 🍉

---

Main Ship: Stiles Stilinski/Derek Hale

This fic is for people who don't have much experience with fanfic or Teen Wolf. It's long, incomplete but so beautiful. It built a world that I could dive into immediately. Definitely read it!

2. Wolf Within by wynnebat

Wolf Within - Chapter 1 - wynnebat - Teen Wolf (TV) [Archive of Our Own]

Instead of convincing Scott to regain his humanity by killing the Alpha, Derek offers another possible solution.

—

Main Ship: Peter Hale/Stiles Stilinski

I know a lot of people don't like Peter/Stiles and the ship is more than problematic, but in this story it fits well. What if Stiles had taken over Scott's werewolf powers and no one knows that Peter is the Alpha. I love werewolf Stiles stories simply because I'm sure Stiles would have been the better werewolf.

the podfic: [podfic] Wolf Within - reena_jenkins - Teen Wolf (TV) [Archive of Our Own]

3. What I Did On My Summer Vacation by grimm

What I Did On My Summer Vacation - Chapter 1 - grimm - Teen Wolf (TV) [Archive of Our Own]

There's something weird about Beacon Hills that Stiles can't quite put his finger on. The way everyone in town knows his name the day he arrives. The way they insist the melancholic howling that echoes through the forest every night is just a dog. The way his dad denies getting a dog, even though Stiles comes home to find one sprawled across his bed, some big black thing whose eyes gleam red in the right light. The way that massive oak tree out in the woods vibrates under his touch, pulsing with sickly life.

There's something weird going on in this town, and Stiles is determined to get to the bottom of it.

—

Main Ship: Stiles Stilinski/Derek Hale

Do you like fics in which a dog is adopted? Mysterious booksellers with a secret room? Magical creatures and a very mysterious forest? I love this fic, there's a great podfic here too that I can only recommend.

Podfic: [podfic] What I Did On My Summer Vacation - Chapter 1 - read by lunchee (lunchee) - Teen Wolf (TV) [Archive of Our Own]

Supernatural Fandom:

1. A Beginner's Guide to Communing with the Dead by suspiciousflashlight

A Beginner's Guide to Communing with the Dead - Chapter 1 - suspiciousflashlight - Supernatural [Archive of Our Own]

Maybe it's the little girl whose disappearance turned into a murder, and whose murder turned into a cold case, and who has now apparently decided to move in with him. Maybe it's the unacceptable hole left in his life when his dumb best friend and partner in (the prevention of) crime decided to go and get himself killed. Maybe it's his brother, whose high-profile career and fantastic girlfriend and first-child-on-the-way are steadily leaving Dean in the dust. Pick one. Pick all of them. The why doesn't matter so much as the what, and the what is this: Dean is pretty sure he's going completely, certifiably insane. Sure, he hasn't started wearing all his clothes inside out, and he still showers on a regular basis (anyways, that's not crazy, just a little eccentric); but there's no getting around the fact that he just threw away his life, his career, and his reputation by dragging out his mom's old necromancy book and summoning a Class A Forbidden Entity to his attic. A cranky one, too. With horrendous bed-head.

---

Main Ship: Dean Winchester/Castiel

Even though I'm not in the supernatural fandom that often anymore, this is a great fanfic. Murder mystery, cop Dean, powerful being Cas and absolutely terrific writing. I love it and could read it all the time.

2. Catching Hell by ADeedWithoutaName

Catching Hell - Chapter 1 - ADeedWithoutaName - Supernatural [Archive of Our Own]

Sam Winchester is, perhaps, the greatest asset to the hunting community. His research, advice, and insight has reached countless hunters and solved innumerable mysteries. His life is solitary, but useful. That changes, however, with the delivery of a captured Knight of Hell who calls himself Dean.

---

Main Ship: Sam Winchester/Dean Winchester (they are not related in this fic!!)

I know, I know, it's billed as Ship Sam/Dean but don't let that scare you away. Sam and Dean are not related in this fic! It's brilliantly written, with Hunter Sam and badass Demon Dean. I highly recommend it.

1D Fandom:

1. Tired Tired Sea by Mediawhore (only available for ao3 users)

Tired Tired Sea - Chapter 1 - MediaWhore - One Direction (Band) [Archive of Our Own]

As a B&B owner on the most remote of all the British Isles, Louis Tomlinson is used to spending the coldest half of the year in complete isolation, with his dog and the sea as sole companions. Until, one day, a mysterious stranger on a quest to rebuild himself rents a room for the winter.

---

Main Ship: Louis Tomlinson/Harry Styles

From the very beginning, you find yourself on Louis' island and immerse yourself in a world of select solitude. I fell head over heels in love with the writing style and especially with the lighthouse. I long to go on holiday there one day.

2. Love Endless: Road to Recollection by wubwubnparmaham

Love Endless: Road to Recollection - Chapter 1 - wubwubnparmaham - One Direction (Band) [Archive of Our Own]

The year is 1973, and eighteen-year-old Louis Tomlinson is perhaps the gayest teen to ever grace the gloomy, hateful town of Fortwright, Idaho. He has a best friend, Niall, a kindhearted music teacher, and his mother on his side, and everyone else is endlessly trying to kill him

All signs pointed to his life playing out in much the same way it always had, and he was trying his best to come to terms with that.

But the course of that life changed forever when he found the mansion. A notoriously haunted mansion hidden deep within the forests of his tiny blip of a town, it sucked him in and then never let him go.

After discovering the mansion was less abandoned than he'd previously thought, he is now left with the most riveting mystery of a lifetime, each new finding leaving him with more questions. Who is this elusive owner, and why won't they show themselves? Why is there a set of journals in the same handwriting that span over centuries? Who could ever explain owning assumedly authentic ancient Roman garments and relics of the French Revolution in the comfort of their own home? Why in the world is there a padlock on the refrigerator...and who the hell is Alexander?

[Book 1/4]

---

Main Ship: Louis Tomlinson/Harry Styles, Niall Horan/Zayn Malik

brilliantly written, if you like Soulmate's AUs, you've come to the right place. Vampire, 1970s, sassy Louis, what more could you want? And the plot twist is brilliant. Be sure to read the whole series!

3. Escapade by dolce_piccante

Escapade - Chapter 1 - dolce_piccante - One Direction (Band) [Archive of Our Own]

In the grand scheme of things, finding a date for a wedding should be no problem for Louis Tomlinson. He's rich. He's handsome. He's reasonably well behaved. But when the wedding is for his lifelong best friend (and former boyfriend), and is happening in under a month, finding a date for the ceremony and accompanying festivities becomes more of an adventure than he ever could have planned for.

—

Main Ship: Louis Tomlinson/Harry Styles, Niall Horan/Zayn Malik

Very famous classic Larry fanfic. Brilliantly written. dolce_piccante is a great writer, check out their profile!

In light of the new teen wolf movie, I’m going to post some of my favourite sterek fanfic I’ve written…

There’s Joy Not Far From Here

28k. “I’m coming,” Derek calls, shrugging on a sweater. The first few days of March had been warm, but the weather has turned in the last week - winter's last ‘fuck you’ - and Derek is expecting the icy blast as the warm air rushes out the front door. “What—” His breath freezes in his throat.

“Hey there, Sourwolf.”

Stiles is standing on the front porch— Derek’s front porch— his right hand waved in a half wave.

“Stiles?” Derek almost takes a step back. “What are you— how?”

Two years after Derek runs from Beacon Hills, Stiles turns up at his front door looking for his own escape. What follows is a story of adventure, healing and finding a place to call home.

But It’s Better When It’s You

9k. Shuffling slowly towards the front door, Stiles throws it open.

“What?”

Stiles’ brain short circuits - just a little - because standing in front of him is Derek Hale.

He hasn’t seen Derek in almost four years and now he’s standing on his doorstep, in shorts and a tank top with a canvas bag clutched in one hand.

Catch us in the mirror (it looks a lot like love)

4K. “You’re lucky to have found a mate like Stiles.”

“Mm,” Derek nods, eyes following Stiles back towards the house. The words sink in and he freezes, mind frantically replaying every interaction he’s had with Stiles over the last few days, wondering how they could have possibly given her that impression.

Stiles is— he’s Stiles. He’s funny and smart and kind and— they’re not mates, no matter how much Derek might wish otherwise.

Spoiled Brat Stiles who the sheriff has allowed to get away with anything, he’s untouchable and always gets his way. Literally never been told no, throws a tantrum if he has to wait too long, etc… and new deputy Derek who is his glorified babysitter.

He eventually works out the best way to shut stiles up and keep him out of trouble is to stuff him so full that he can’t think… cut to a few years later and he’s a barely mobile blob who hasn’t had a thought beyond the pain in his stuffed stomach for a long long time.

"Barely mobile blob" and "Stiles" is the perfect pairing. When Claudia dies, the Sheriff for sure overcompensates. Isn't home a lot, Stiles mostly is babysat by whatever game system he wants or neighbors who help the Sheriff out. And all the deputies feel bad like "he lost his mom...the Sheriff is always working...it's tough." Which - gets him out of being dumb in high school because no one wants to pull over the Sheriff's kid and they all let him off with a warning and tell themselves "he's a good kid, he just acts out a little." And he hasn't done any major rule breaking so - he gets away with plenty. After high school says he's taking a "Gap year" which means sleeping in until 12 and ignoring the Sheriff's pleas to get a job. No one gives the newest member of the station the memo about the jeep or the Sheriff's bratty son. So Deputy Hale pulls over Stiles, ignores the "seriously, dude? You can't give me a ticket." Derek doesn't realize he's a Stilinski until he's got his license in hand, but he still doesn't care. Stiles gets a ticket, Derek is back at the station hours later, not thinking much of it as he fills out his paperwork for the day, until Stiles comes storming in asking about the "hot deputy who wrote him the ticket." The Sheriff grimaces a bit as he tells Derek that his son is..... "smart but a bit stubborn" and "maybe I've given into him too often." Then asks Derek as personal favor if he could just...keep on eye on Stiles when he's out on patrol, to keep him out of any major trouble. Which is how Derek ends up force feeding Stiles pizza and beer and finding out one way to keep him from being a brat.... *** He gets called to break up a party at the preserve. Flashes the lights and most kids go scrambling out of the abandoned house. Stiles is one of the few who didn't run.

"Don't be a fucking cockblock, dude. It was just a party." Derek kicks everyone else out with a stern yell and then tells Stiles "You can't be drinking underage." "I'm 4 months away from being 21. Who cares?" "Fine. Might as well drink the rest then!"

Derek loses his temper and starts stalks over to Stiles, holding his hair tightly in his grasp and tilting his head back as he cracks another beer open and starts pouring it down Stiles throat. "You can't do gurgle do this!" "Yeah? I found you drunk at a party. No one's gonna believe anything differently. Drink." "You can' Burp do th-hic.."

"Pizza is next..." Stiles is too drunk and bloated to complain to the Sheriff when he gets home, just staggers and leans heavily on Derek as they walk to the front door, hiccupping and burping. Even burps and slurs out an apology to his dad when Derek tells him what happened. It definitely gives Derek ideas for the future. It takes Stiles a few times (including Derek arresting him for a day and feeding him donuts in the holding cell) before they come to a good arrangement- mostly involving him eating everything Derek gives him...and in exchange Derek brings home more food and promises to fuck him after.... The Sheriff watches his son balloon and is actually relieved....no more speeding if he's too fat to fit behind the wheel of the jeep!

The New York Times article (April 18th, 2014)

Eternal Life, Thanks to Angels and Abs

By Mike Hale

April 18, 2014

SURREY, British Columbia — The first episode of the scary-monster show “Supernatural,” in which a college student came home and found his girlfriend on the ceiling, roasting like a blond marshmallow, was shown by the WB network on Sept. 13, 2005.

Since then quite a few shows have come and gone — “Breaking Bad,” “Friday Night Lights,” “30 Rock,” “Dexter,” to name a few — but “Supernatural” is still here, now on CW on Tuesday nights. Midway through its ninth demon-stabbing, vampire-decapitating, angel-ganking season, it’s the sixth-longest-running drama currently in prime time — and it’s already been renewed for another season.

How does a show that gets relatively little attention and even less credit in the age of the prime-time drama find itself on a short list with series like “Law & Order: SVU” and “Grey’s Anatomy”? We went to the suburbs of Vancouver, where the 190th episode was being shot, to ask. Here are some possibilities.

It’s about the hair.

Between takes at the seedy-motel location — an actual seedy motel here, about 40 minutes south of Vancouver, just above the American border — several young women trot out and run their fingers through the hair of the stars, Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki.

“The way my hair is, if I get out of the shower and put a beanie on or something, it just kind of lays,” said Mr. Padalecki, whose leonine tresses are one of the show’s trademarks. “But it doesn’t lay well for the camera, because it’ll cover” — he gestures to his face — “the thing.”

Mr. Ackles, whose laugh is like the crack of the show’s magic Colt revolver, said, “I’m fairly certain that that mop is solely responsible for the 10th-season pickup.”

It’s about the brothers.

Mr. Ackles and Mr. Padalecki play Dean and Sam Winchester, brothers with a family tradition of demon hunting. Mr. Ackles was 26 and Mr. Padalecki 22 when the show began, and they are “Supernatural” — conversations with co-stars, show runners and network and studio presidents always come around to Jensen and Jared, Jared and Jensen.

In the motel parking lot, through endless takes in the February chill, they set the tone, joking with the crew, then discussing with the director how to block a scene in which they’re thrown against their black 1967 Impala by the flick of an angel’s finger.

“At the end of the day we have a very good understanding that a lot of it comes down to he and I, and how we relate to each other on- and off-screen,” Mr. Ackles said. “That was impressed upon us very early on by Eric Kripke,” the show’s creator. “He sat us down the first episode and said, ‘Listen, guys, this begins and ends with you.’ ”

It’s about Joseph Campbell. And masculinity.

Misha Collins plays the naïve but deadly angel Castiel, the Winchesters’ mascot and fellow warrior. He studied social theory at the University of Chicago and worked in the Clinton White House and he’s a very smart man, so we should probably listen: “The show deals with universally appealing mythology story lines, the kind of stuff that Joseph Campbell would be proud to see on television,” he said, “but grounds it in personal relationships.”

“It’s really a show about boys becoming men,” he added. “It’s about manhood and these guys who vacillate between testosterone-infused knife fights and gun battles and then crying on one another’s shoulders, having their intimate brotherhood-of-men moments. And I think that’s something you don’t see that much of on television.”

And angels.

“It used to be about guys on the road hunting urban legends,” Mr. Padalecki said, referring to the first four or five seasons sketched out by Mr. Kripke, who pitched the show as “Route 66” meets “The X-Files.” “And then angels came in,” he added, and that annoyed them. “We’re like: ‘We didn’t sign up for a religious show. I don’t want to make a statement on angels. I came to do “X-Files.” ’ But it’s kept on finding new ground.”

Robert Singer, the series’s longtime show runner, said: “The biggest tipping point was the introduction of angels. It seemed to be a natural place to go once we’d gone so far into demon stories.”

It’s about Netflix.

As with many other shows these days, everyone involved credits online streaming of past seasons for increasing current viewership. “We’ve had a real jump in teenagers who are watching the show,” Mr. Singer said. “They were 5 or 6 when it started, and they didn’t know the show from Adam. The fact that they can go back and see it from the beginning and get themselves invested to watch it now is a big thing.”

It’s about beefcake.

Mr. Padalecki is 6-foot-5, Mr. Ackles is 6 feet, and together they are, as Mr. Padalecki puts it, “400 pounds of dude.” Misha Collins said, “Yeah, I think we would be lying to ourselves if we weren’t admitting that that’s an aspect of this dynamic.”

The Winchesters politely demur. Mr. Padalecki: “As flattering as that is, out of 190 episodes I think I’ve taken my shirt off less than 10 times.” Mr. Ackles: “We probably keep our clothes on more than any other show on this network.”

But what the heck. “If people watch because Jensen’s handsome or they like my hair, and then they say, ‘This is a really cool show, they really put their heart and soul into this and I’ll tune in again,’ fine,” Mr. Padalecki said. “Whatever gets them in the seats, right?”

It’s about the fans.

Whether it’s angels, abs or both, the cast members spend part of every summer break traveling around the world to “Supernatural” fan conventions.

“When we go to São Paulo for a convention and there are 50 people camped out on the hotel doorstep just waiting to get a glimpse of us,” Mr. Collins said, “and when we go into the halls and there are 1,500 or 2,000 people and the screaming will be so deafening we have to cover our ears — it’s like we have this one moment where you can feel like you’re a Beatle. And then you get to go about your normal life the rest of the year.”

Not all fans are content simply to attend conventions. Some of them want to take a hand in the story, and their fan fiction can explore areas mostly untouched on the show, like the latent homoerotic suggestiveness of the Winchesters’ intense relationship. Asked if he reads any of this material, Mr. Ackles said: “I don’t. I know it’s out there, and I’m, I’m — the people that have asked me about it are well aware that I would rather not know about that.”

It’s about humility.

The Winchesters — that is, Mr. Ackles and Mr. Padalecki — are enthusiastic and accommodating interview subjects, seeking out a reporter at every break to talk up their underdog show, finishing each other’s sentences, always agreeing. They reflect their characters, or vice versa: Mr. Ackles is the quiet, watchful older brother, keeping an eye on the eagerly talkative Mr. Padalecki.

Jensen: “We both had strong fathers who instilled a good work ethic in us.”

Jared: “And I think a gratitude for the work. And there’s certainly times — ”

Jensen: “A respect — ”

Jared: “A respect for everybody — ”

Jensen: “And humble.”

Jared: “There have been times when I’ve let myself get overwhelmed with, ‘Oh, I feel so overworked.’ And Ackles has been like: ‘Dude. Remember.’ And I’m like, ‘Oh yeah.’ ”

It’s about the future.

“Supernatural” is projected to hit the 200-episode milestone next season; a pilot for a spinoff series, “Supernatural: Bloodlines,” will be shown April 29. How long can the magic last?

“As long as these numbers keep up, and as long as these guys want to do it, ‘Supernatural’ will stay on the air,” said Mark Pedowitz, president of CW. If he doesn’t keep the promise, there’s a 12-inch angel dagger with his name on it.

Rusted Knight Quest

testing something new here, general idea is that I will write a story and then allow you all to select options you like to put into a plan format under the story in reblogs. be sure to tag me in the plans so I can record them. then I will put up a vote for a day, whichever plan gets the most votes

the world was shapeless, formless, you floated in the void. it was peaceful, there wasn't battle here, there wasn't struggle, there was nothing and you never had to be anything ever again.

it was a deep and primordial darkness, and then there was light, and noise and it hurt.

IT HURT!

so you cried, wanting to go back to not being anything but you couldn't, you were stuck now. your body was weak, a soft squishy thing that wouldn't respond to any of your comands, you were basically blind as your eyes would not focus and your mind

oh by the gods your mind

it was so slow, as if your nerons were out on their lunch break you were incapable of even the most basic of thoughts

your soul was wiped clean as well, this isn't too strange the tree had given you new purpose before but what purpose could this horrible thing you were trapped in have?

then there was a not bad noise, it soothed you and you soon fell asleep listening to it croon and whisper to you. when you woke you found you had an option you had never experianced before.

you had choice just what in the ever after were you? stats there are five stats diplomacy, stewardship, martial, learning, and piety diplomacy involves talking whether it be smooth-talking, intimidation or anything else. stewardship: is about logistics and money and how well you know how to handle either martial: is about fighting and strategy both the mental and physical aspects learning: how smart you are piety: aura usage and strength character points: every trait offers points or requires them please reblog this post with your selections in the actual text area not in the notes or comments, comments should be used to discuss the quest with the others and select what options you like. please name your plan be sure to @ me with your plans as well CP: 4 giant: you tower above others this means that your heart has to work overtime. ap cost 1 +6 to martial rolls - 5 to diplomatic rolls due to looking strange. health might sometimes suffer unless aura is unlocked stuttering: you have a stutter +3CP -5 to Diplomatic rolls lisping: you have trouble pronouncing some words +3 CP -5 diplomacy albino: with their white hair and eyes you tend to freak people out +6 CP - 10 diplomacy melancholic: you have a hard time seeing the good in life -1 to all stats -1 action points when making choices in the future +10CP lunatic: Plagued by hallucinations, delusions and disorganized thoughts, you struggle to distinguish between what is real and what is not. -5 to all stats +10 CP possessed: The sudden changes in emotion, awareness and ability that this character experiences can only be explained by spirits inhabiting their body. +10 to all training rolls - 10 to diplomacy hideous: -10 diplomacy +3CP ugly: -7 diplomacy +2CP homely: -5 diplomacy +1 CP comley: +5 diplomacy -1 CP handsome: +7 diplomacy -2 CP beautiful: +10 diplomacy - 3CP imbecile: -8 all stats -30 on training rolls +10 CP stupid: -4 all stats -20 on training rolls +7 CP dull: -2 all stats -10 training rolls +5 CP quick: +2 all stats +10 training rolls -5 CP intelligent: +3 all stats +20 training rolls -7 CP genius: +5 all stats +30 on all training rolls -10 CP

fragile: -6 martial -10 diplomacy +10 CP frail: -4 martial -5 diplomacy +7 CP delicate: -2 martial +2 CP hale: +2 martial +5 diplomacy -5 CP robust: +4 martial +10 diplomacy -8 CP herculean: +8 martial +15 diplomacy -11 CP remembered mastery: you were once the rusted knight and your skills and purpose remain even in this new form Aspiring Blademaster: +10 on rolls using a sword -1 CP blade master: +20 on rolls using a sword -3 CP legendary blade master: +30 on rolls using a sword -5 CP rusted knight: you were once the rusted knight, your soul still remembers your purpose +30 to rolls to help others - 30 on all rolls in a turn if you don't do something to help others (mandatory trait) starting stats: 0 in everything you're a newborn rolls will be a D100 rolling a 100 will result in an exploding dice. success will be counted by degrees. so if the DC of an action is 20 rolling a 40 will result in 2 degrees of success this is an experiment and I hope you all enjoy the RUSTED KNIGHT QUEST

trick or treat!💗💗💗

today i will share (finally) something from my catholic stiles .. ❤️

Derek Hale meets Stiles Stilinski’s eyes during homily, on a Sunday a day after his return. His eyes are dark yet they sparkle under the bright, church lights when he notices Derek’s stare on him. He’s sitting by the altar, holding the altar bell and his eyes keep moving from the priest and to the pews, where Derek and his pack are sitting. Stiles smiles at him, small and soft. Derek looks away. The church is air-conditioned and everyone is still and silent as they listen. The lights above them are bright and Derek momentarily gets distracted by the windows behind the altar. His eyes eventually move back to Stiles, who’s now looking at the altar.

He knows who Stiles Stilinski is—hell, everyone knows who he is. He’s the only son of the sheriff and if the rumors are right, the beloved of Beacon Hills. He’d just come home from the countryside where his grandmother lives. It’s been a tradition of his for the past two summers yet no one knows why he leaves or why the Sheriff doesn’t accompany him. No one knows what happens during those summers, not even his best friend Scott McCall. No matter, Stiles always left and came back the same: smart, mischievous, witty and snarky.

Stiles moves the altar bell to his left hand, the action catching Derek’s eyes. His gaze moves to his thin wrist, where a golden rosary twinkles at him. It hangs low and bright. He watches as his thin, long fingers stretch before clutching at his cassock.

“Father’s looking at you,” Laura Hale murmurs from beside him. She sits tall and proud, eyes straightforward at the altar. “At least pretend to listen.”

“I am listening,” Derek grumbles, looking back at the priest. He’s a new one. He accompanied Stiles when he came home. “Shut up.”

When he looks back at Stiles, he’s staring up at the cross right behind the priest. Even from afar, Derek can appreciate his side profile; the upturn of his nose and the way his tongue licks at his bottom lip. His eyelashes are long, fluttering gently against his cheeks as he stares. His moles look beautiful and cute against his pale skin.

Laura elbows him at the stomach and he looks away to glare at her. She ignores him and nods toward the altar again. To his left, Erica is drawing patterns on her jean-clad thigh. Somewhere beside Laura and behind them are their other pack members and Derek frowns, looking back at the altar. The priest looks straight back at him before moving his gaze. His eyes move towards a quick glance at Stiles before his eyes move over to the audience, a small smile gracing his lips as he lets out a good-humored joke, everyone chuckling lightly.

Throughout the entire mass, in-between the communions and final blessing, Stiles’ rosary bracelet twinkles and glistens in the corner of Derek’s vision. When they move to leave, the pack waiting until they’re the last ones left, he looks back just in time to see Stiles cleaning up by the altar, a focused look on his eyes. As he bends down lightly, Derek catches sight of a golden necklace glittering and hidden behind his cassock.

In the early morning hours, while much of Barley still slept, Fallon crept back from the wooded forests to Aviva’s home. Slipping through the door, she padded on bare feet to first check in on her dozing little brother and sister, and then into the room that housed her mother’s unconscious form.

“Don’t worry mom, I have a plan.” She whispered, lifting the wooden chair in the room and carrying it to the bedside so she could sit within easy reach of her mother’s hand. “Time to wake up.” She announced as she slipped her hand into her mother’s and closed her eyes. Within seconds, Fallon went limp in the chair, as lost to the world of the living as her own mother was…

Eyes squinted into the brilliant white light that surrounded her feeling it burn and smart while her pupils fought to adjust to the sudden change in brightness. Slowly the whiteness began to fade, turning hazy and translucent until it faded away all together and vibrant color rushing into view. The world of her mother’s mind was beautifully wrought in color and sound — teeming with life despite how fake it actually was.

“Fallon?!”

She turned at the sound of her mother’s startled and confused voice, seeing her standing just ten feet away — alive and hale…just as she used to be.

“What are you doing here?” Alex question, brows furrowed like she didn’t quite understand what was happening. “I came to get you.” Fallon tried to explain. “You have to wake up now. The twins need you…I do too…” Her voice trailed off at the look of horror and realization that slowly crept onto Alex’s features. Taking two steps forward, she watched as the world around them blurred and then changed, turning into a dark and dank building with torches guttering all around them.

“Fallon, you shouldn’t have come here. It’s dangerous to force your way into someone else’s mind like this.” Her mother seemed far more herself now — the confusion gone from her eyes.

“You were going to die if someone didn’t do something.” Fallon responded quietly, peering up through her lashes as Alex bent down so they were nearly at eye level. “I did it to keep you safe…”

“That’s MY job.” Her mother replied, lifting her hands to grip both of Fallon’s shoulders. “I’m your mother, Fallon, not the other way around.” Alex reminded her, giving her shoulders a quick squeeze before dropping her hands and standing up fully so she could survey the space around them.

Now that she was fully aware of what had transpired…it was time to figure out how to get out of this place….and that might be easier said than done….

“Come on, Fallon, we need to find a way to break out of here. Before it’s too late for the both of us.” Holding out her hand, she waited until Fallon took it before starting forward. Time to see if this gloomy place had a door.

Sterek AU Fic Rec

Special Instructions by @trilliath [G, 1.6k]

Human AU, Different First Meeting AU

The pizza place Stiles works at gets an odd prompt for their Special Instructions: Send your cutest delivery boy.

Nothing Like the Sun by @halffizzbin [T, 1.6k]

Human AU, Writer Derek, Fluff, Pining, Oblivious, Humor, First Kiss

“Your eyes, blue and bright / Like Mountain Frost Gatorade,” Stiles reads aloud, not bothering to contain his glee. “Now that is powerful stuff. Oh, but this next line is my favorite: Your skin, warm and soft / As an underbaked loaf of bread. Bread, Derek? Really?”

(Or, the one where Derek is a failtastic poet and Stiles is the editor who likes him anyway.)

Dammit, Gym by @aggybird [G, 1.8k]

Teacher AU, Human AU, Humor

Derek the gym teacher asks Stiles the music teacher for a favor.

Nailed It by @aggybird [T, 2.1k]

Different First Meeting AU, Humor, Deputy Derek, Still Werewolves

Deputy Derek Hale bought a fixer-upper, but he's pretty bad at fixing, so he hires a snarky carpenter to help him out.

more under the cut

You Had Me At Latte Batman by Hatteress @goddammitstacey [T, 2.1k]

Coffee Shop AU, Writer Stiles, Oblivious

The one where Derek’s a barista who accidentally woos Stiles with latte art.

Put That Wolf Back Where It Came From (or so help me!) by Jerakeen @jerakeenc [T, 2.8k]

Monsters Inc AU, Crack

"There there, you poor monster, you."

Something’s Telling Me to Leave but I Won’t by starswalkbackward @officiallallorona [T, 3.2k]

Human AU, Different First Meeting AU, Deputy Derek, Humor

In 2nd grade, Nicki Welch told Stiles Stilinski that his plaid shirt and Spiderman graphic tee looked stupid. He responded by looking pointedly at her stomach and saying that bloodsucking hookworms were inside about 700 million people.

She cried for two hours, and Ms. Briar made him go to the quiet chair. “One day, your mouth is really going to get you into trouble!” she’d scolded with a wagging finger.

Stiles contemplates those words as his dad’s new deputy hauls him into the station.

He’s still totally going to blame Scott for the situation, though.

dust off your highest hopes by takeittothestars @alphaass [T, 3.9k]

Human AU

For this prompt from Niamh:

"Yes I know we all love the pretend-boyfriends trope but why aren’t there 100 more stories of Derek or Stiles pretending to be someone else’s pretend boyfriend and the other getting really fucking jealous about it - because one-night-stands are one thing but seeing someone they’ve been in denial about crushing on act all affectionate and boyfriendly with someone they’re comfortable around is a new brand of hell.

Like Erica taking Derek to her high school reunion as a little fuck-you to all the idiots who never noticed her, or Lydia recruiting Stiles to some smart people convention still stuck in the Dark Ages and only taking men’s research seriously, so she uses the most convenient boy in her life as a gateway to get in there and shame all the closed-minded assholes.

Like of course it’s all pretend but they’re a little TOO good at acting it out and then whoever isn’t in on it is at the hotel bar angrily ordering ice cream sundaes and looking for someone to hit on to take their mind off it and failing miserably.

WHY ISNT THERE MORE?"

Everybody Make a Scene by skoosiepants @pantstomatch [G, 4.5k]

Neighbors AU, Alive Hales AU, Still Werewolves

Stiles starts out with three jack-o-lanterns in front of their modest little pack house, but when he sees Derek staple-gunning orange lights around the entire front of their porch, he comes home with a six foot dinosaur skeleton with glowing red eyes.

No one actually hangs Halloween lights unless they’re going to war.

Or-

Stiles and Derek have some kind of unspoken Halloween decorating competition that also involves baked goods and flirting.

Void ab initio by Leslie_Knope @leslieknopeismyshiningstar [E, 4.6k]

Human AU, Fluff, Smut

Tumblr prompt: “We were best friends in middle school and promised (signed a contract and all) if neither of us were in a relationship when we turn 30, we’d marry each other. You moved 5 years later and I haven’t seen you since but you just reached out on my 30th birthday to find out if I’m single. Minors can’t be held to contracts but puberty hit you like a truck and I just broke up with my long term boyfriend a month ago so what the hell I might as well catch up with you.”

A Single Magic Bullet by The Feels Whale @miscellea [G, 4.7]

College AU, Magic AU, Werewolves Are Known AU, Magic Stiles

It’s Stiles last week before graduation and it seems like everything is going wrong. Between Scott finding True Love, werewolf kidnapping rings, sadistic professors, and his final projects, it’s not like Stiles doesn’t have plenty on his plate… but he’s a Stilinski and Stilinskis deal with it. Fortunately there’s a new lycanthrope on campus who seems amenable to pulling his bacon out of the fire.

(Now if only Stiles could figure out why he keeps waking up with his window open, that would be just peachy.)

too long to the weekend by DizzyRedhead @dizzy-redhead [E, 5.3k]

College AU, Werewolves Are Known AU, Childhood Friends, Friends to Lovers, Fluff, Smut

When Derek agreed to show Stiles around Berkeley, he was thinking of Stiles at fifteen, his childhood friend, the son of his mother's best friend.

He was not prepared for Stiles, all grown up.

be my dar(jee)ling by takeittothestars @alphaass [M, 5.4k]

Tea Shop AU, Human AU, Derek POV, Humor, Fluff

‘You alright there? Need any help?’ someone from behind him says, and Derek startles badly from where he’s been judging the tea (Cardamom with ginger for Sherlock Holmes? And almonds for Jack Harkness? Really?). The person laughs when he knocks over a few tins, and Derek knows that laugh. Sure enough, he looks up as he puts Moriartea back on the shelf and it’s Stiles fucking Stilinski, #24 on the lacrosse team and captain of Derek’s heart since he dropped Cora off at a game once, the cutest, hottest thing on the planet since – since – since ever, if Derek’s honest with himself.

A tea shop AU in which Derek is an editor, Stiles works in a tea shop, both are dumb, and there is tea. For this prompt

Game On by stilinskisparkles @stileshale [T, 6.4k]

College AU, Oblivious, Pining, Nerd Stiles, Jock Derek

Derek first sees him from across the quad four days into fall semester. He’s sitting on one of the long benches, a marker pen in his mouth, grinning at something the kid lounging on the bench beside him is saying. When he laughs properly he pulls the pen out and throws his head back, his neck a long, lean line Derek is entranced by. He flicks the page in his book and highlights something, tossing the cap up in the air and catching it with his teeth.

Simple Math by lizzstomania [G, 6.7k]

Human AU, College AU, Coffee Shop AU, Angst, Fluff

"It's just math, Derek. It's me and you; it’s not rocket science and it's not Shakespeare. It's basic arithmetic and you, for some ungodly reason, never bothered to learn to add."

Sideways and Slantways and Longways and Backways by @hologramophone [T, 7.8k]

Human AU, Office AU, Fluff, Pining, Repression

“I called you a slave-driver!” Stiles cried hysterically. “I called you an ogre! I stole all the blue paperclips!”

Derek raised an eyebrow at him.

“That’s company property!” he shouted, waving his arms madly in distress.

Derek ran a hand over his face. “It’s not theft if the vice president of the company gives you permission.”

(Otherwise known as the Elevator AU)

(im)Perfect System by theroguesgambit @halekingsourwolf [T, 7.9k]

Soulmate AU, Alive Hales AU, Misunderstandings, Fluff, Angst

Stiles has always felt pretty lucky about his soul mark. After all, how many conversations tend to start with “This is private property”?

(Apparently more than you'd think.)

In the Next Room series by twentysomething [E, 7.9k]

Cis Girl Stiles AU, Still Werewolves

"But for some reason, when Stiles sees Derek talking to Lydia, the two of them painfully good-looking, all she can think about is that her hair is in a messy ponytail and there's pizza sauce on the hem of her t-shirt. It's not like she wants to go on a montage out of a '90s teen film and come out like Rachel Leigh Cook on a staircase, but Stiles maybe thinks she doesn't want to look like the homeless one in the pack."

CSI: Beacon Hills by Jerakeen @jerakeenc [T, 8.2k]

Different First Meeting AU, CSI AU, Still Werewolves, Deputy Derek, Hurt/Comfort, Mates, Protective Derek, Oblivious Stiles

Back when Stiles was in high school Beacon Hills didn't have a crime lab, because they simply didn't need one. Those were the days.

Dog’s Best Friends by otter [G, 8.9k]

Different First Meeting AU, Fluff

Other people might have found the name of the place off-putting. Stiles didn’t. He was actually relieved, when Scott handed him a business card that said “HALEHOUNDS” across the top, because clearly, if anybody could recognize and understand the evil that lurked within his dog’s fluffy precious body, it was these people.

covalent bonds series by @halffizzbin [E, 9.2k]

(All in) High School AU, Human AU, Alive Hales AU, Fluff, Mutual Pining, Jock Stiles, Nerd Derek

Awkward Nerd Derek has been crushing on Handsome Jock Stiles since forever—so getting paired with him on a Chemistry project is definitely the best/worst thing that's ever happened to him.

Love Runs Wild by @devildoll [E, 9.5k]

P/rnstar AU, Still Werewolves, Possessive, Marking, Neckz ‘n Throats

"You've got a hickey on the back of your neck!" A Neckz 'n Throats story.

Last Lovesong of a Dying Lemon by wldnst [M, 10.4k]

Human AU, Mechanic Derek

Stiles' Jeep keeps breaking down. Derek is a mechanic.

Putting the F-U-N in Funeral by apocryphal @the-apocrypha [T, 10.8k]

Human AU, Alive Hales AU, Bakery AU, Fluff, Humor

"Hale & Daughters Funeral Home," Derek says dully.

"Oh ho! And which daughter are you?"

Derek casts his eyes up to the ceiling. It's going to be one of those calls.

(In which Derek is a bored secretary, Stiles is a baker who may or may not have ulterior motives, and there are entirely too many macaroons.)

Unmapped by Jerakeen @jerakeenc [E, 11.4k]

Sentinels AU, Soul Bond, Hurt/Comfort

Stiles can never leave a good mystery alone.

Chances Are… series by @relanafanel [T, 11.6k]

Human AU, Alive Hales AU, Bets

“What kind of bet did you lose that you have to go out with this?” the guy asked, gesturing to himself.

“First person to flirt with me,” Derek grumbled.

even a bad cup of coffee (is better than no coffee at all) by @vlieger [E, 13.5k]

College AU, Coffee Shop AU, Different First Meeting AU, Werewolf Reveal

AU where Derek and Laura stay in New York and open a coffee shop after the fire, and Stiles meets them when he moves there for college.

First Impressions Are Overrated by Leslie_Knope @leslieknopeismyshiningstar [T, 14.6k]

Different First Meeting AU, Kid Fic, POV Stiles, Single Parent Derek, Werewolf Reveal, Fluff

In Stiles’ defense, he didn’t deliberately ram his grocery cart into the (evidently precarious) pyramid of oranges.

“He can't blame me for the fact that I live in a building full of people united in the singular effort to ogle Hot Fireman as often as humanly possible."

Laura laughs, loud and echoing in the empty restaurant.

"Hot firemen can make a girl do crazy things," she agrees, nodding towards her brother's name on the menu. "Derek won't let me date anyone from his company, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate the eye candy."

"Send them my way," Stiles suggests, finally loading up a forkful of pie. "Apparently I'm incompetent enough that I need to be babysat at all times, because it would be cheaper than dispatching a truck every time I try to use a kitchen appliance."

“Laura wants to lure the kid in with food and kindness and make a pet of him, like a feral cat. Derek wants to have him arrested for stalking. They’re at an impasse. (And the rest of the family is staying emphatically out of it in a way that suggests bets have been placed.)”

“How much,” Stiles asks, “are we talking here? Because I know your family, dude. And it’ll be kind of awkward after.“

“My family thinks you’re some sort of fucking gift to the world,” Derek seethes, like he’s jealous, “they’ll probably be pissed at me when we break it off, so don’t worry about that. Five hundred bucks.”

“A thousand,” Stiles says, because screw ethics. Also, the Hale family is loaded. Derek can deal.

any fics where derek or peter pretend to be a guide dog (or anything similar) for stiles in their wolf forms? :) xoxo

OO I love when Stiles thinks they're actual dogs and is confused why they seem to be such smart dogs.

Anon suggested this one!

Being Close to You by isthatbloodonhisshirt (wasterella)

(1/1 I 14,149 I Teen I Sterek)

Realization dawned and Derek cursed himself viciously. How could he be stupid enough to forget Scott was a Werewolf? He could fucking smell him! Scott knew it was him!

“Stiles?” Scott asked uncertainly while Stiles started opening and closing various cabinets, looking for who knew what. “That’s not a d—”

Derek snarled and let out a loud bark, eyes glowing blue in Scott’s direction since Stiles couldn’t see him from where he was standing. Scott scowled at him, moving closer to him and inhaling pointedly.

“What are you doing here, Derek?” Scott asked, voice low enough that Stiles wouldn’t hear. He wasn’t listening anyway, still panicking and randomly opening things.

Video Games by inlightofvisa

(1/1 I 575 I General I Sterek)

If there's one tradition that doesn't change after Derek starts dating Stiles, it's Friday afternoon video games. Scott's thankful for that. But, of course, he lives with Derek. Who is a life ruiner. He ruins lives.

Marshmallow Center by haikuhamster

(1/1 I 1,880 I General I Sterek)

Derek, for some inexplicable reason, had become a dog. A soft, fluffy, adorable dog. One that loved Stiles, and was destermined to show it in every dog-specific way possible.

Unfortunately, Stiles kinda loves him too.

Ace by katehicky (chaoticdeadshot)

(1/? I 2,293 I General I Sterek)

Stiles is tired of being the third wheel in Scott and Allsion's relationship. So he gets a dog, who may or may not be a bit of a Sourwolf.

Tummy Rubs by Nopennamesleft

(1/1 I 2,335 I Not Rated I Sterek)

The sheriff finds Derek and Stiles in the woods after they finished with a supernatural problem. Derek shifts to his wolf form and things just go down hill from there for Stiles.

Distractions by nothing_much

(1/1 I 2,706 I Teen I Sterek)

There are a lot of distractions. But somehow they get the bad guy/guys

This Dog is gonna Kill Me, No Really by orphan_account

(5/8 I 4,972 I Teen I Sterek)

So Stiles is walking through the woods because he's awesome and they're awesome and his best friend has abandoned him in favour of sucking face with some girl - and there's this dog. Creepy stalker dog. Creepy ass stalker dog that follows him home. And then eats his food. God damn.

Anymore of This by Aleigh75

(1/1 I 11,538 I Mature I Sterek)

Derek didn't 'evolve' as quickly as he did in Smoke and Mirrors. Everyone thought he stayed dead, and Stiles is taking it far worse than anyone else. Several weeks later, he gets a phone call from Scott, with a slightly weird request from Deaton.

Undercover K9 by Cobrilee

(1/1 I 17,905 I Teen I Sterek)

As it usually goes, Derek acts before he thinks. This time he has a good reason, though-it's all Stiles' fault. Mostly.

Or, that time when Derek volunteered to spend all his spare time as a wolf with the Beacon Hills Sheriff's Office K9 Unit, just to protect Stiles' dumb ass.

Actual Puppy Derek Hale by Rawren (Deshonanana)

(1/1 I 18,612 I Teen I Sterek)

Derek didn't know what was worse: the hunters, being trapped as a wolf, being hit by a car, or the fact that he had somehow become some kid's pet dog for the unforeseeable future.

Derek Hale Has No Heart by WinglessFlutters

(13/? I 39,206 I Not Rated I Sterek)

Derek doesn't have anything or anyone to give a shit about. Only the ambition to become a powerful Alpha. But when a witch casts a life-altering spell on the loner, he's turned into a mangy dog with only a year to change his heart. Derek begins to accept his fate, however, an accident lands him a place in the Stilinski house, where he has to put up with the most intolerable, annoying, adorable son-of-a-sheriff he's ever met.

What I Did On My Summer Vacation by grimm

(4/4 I 118,749 I Explicit I Sterek)

There's something weird going on in this town, and Stiles is determined to get to the bottom of it.

S4 01 | The Dark Moon

BIG MASTERLIST | TW REWRITE | KO-FI

Stiles Stilinski x Reader! Half-sibling!Mccall

Word count: 3956

Warnings: Mentions of injuries, blood, poison, death, seizures, dead bodies, swearing (always), etc.

A/N: Wow. This is the 4th Season already?! I noticed while writing this entire chapter this morning that we were starting season 4. This is crazy. Enjoy and I didn’t have time to proofread!

↪ PLEASE RESPECT MY WORK. DON’T COPY, TRANSLATE OR CLAIM THEM AS YOURS. NOT ON THIS WEBSITE OR ANOTHER. ALL RIGHTS ARE RESERVED.

I glanced around, sighing, not knowing what to expect and seeing a different scenario from the one that I was used to seeing every day. There was a lot of people in the street, wandering through street markets, trying to get the best deal.

"This doesn't seem so bad." My boyfriend rubbed his hands together.

"It's not the town, it's the plan." Lydia rolled her eyes as I chuckled. "Stiles. This could be the stupidest plan we've ever come up with. You're aware of that, right?"

"I'm aware it's not our best." His voice lowered.

"We are going to die." The three of us started walking.

"Are you saying that as a Banshee or you're just being pessimistic?"

"I'm saying it as a person who doesn't wanna die."

"Okay." Stiles's tiny gesture made my chest pound like crazy. He had grabbed my hand, scared I would get lost as there were many people. "Would you just mind restricting any talk of death to actual Banshee predictions?"

"This plan is stupid and we're going to die," Lydia said in a cheerful tone, attempting to make the hazel-eyed boy happy.

"Oh, thank you." He smirked.

It was night when we arrived at a building. The door was being watched by two men. They both smiled at us, especially eyeing Lydia and me, which made us feel a little bit uncomfortable.

"Estamos aquí para la fiesta." I murmured to them, letting them know that we were there for the party taking place inside the building.

One of them smirked, shaking their head as if to let us know that we weren't invited to go inside. I shifted my gaze to Stiles, who was searching for something inside one of the pockets of his trousers. As soon as he found what he wanted, he lifted it. A black card. And even though it seemed like just an item without much meaning, one of the men standing in front of us stopped smiling.

Stiles noticed that there was a camera just above them, lifting the card so whoever was behind it could see the object. Automatically, the door opened and the men had nothing more to do than let us go inside.

When the door closed behind us, we sighed, worried about what we could find. There was a small corridor, walls were of an intense red that was making my headache. And it seemed like the door in front of us and the walls embracing us shook.

As Stiles opened the door, we were hit with loud music, colourful lights and the smell of alcohol and sweat. Bodies ground against each other, following the compass of the music.

Stiles clutched my hand harder as his other hand rested on Lydia's arm. He didn't want us to get lost in the crowd. We ended up in front of the bar, where three drinks were placed in front of us even though we haven't ordered anything. I furrowed my eyebrows as Stiles sought money inside his pocket.

I felt a hand gripping my shoulder, and jerking around I was met with a man. "No. On the house." He offered us an insincere smile. "Most American teenagers don't cross the border to refuse a drink."

"We didn't come to drink." Lydia clarified, dropping what seemed like a bullet with a skull on it inside the drink.

Of course, we were taken out of the party, to the insides of the building where everything was dark and where now, a woman stood before us. "Severo hates this music. Me? I've always loved the music of youth." We were sitting in front of her, while there were men all around the room, keeping an eye on us. "This kind, especially. It has a savage energy."

"We're here for Derek Hale." I was the first one to speak aloud.

"Is that so?"

"We know you have him. We've heard you can be bought." Lydia was the one continuing while Stiles placed money on top of the table with a loud thump.

"It's 50,000 for Derek."

"Now, where does a teenage boy get money like this? Japanese mafia?" A woman behind us loaded her gun, making Lydia and I jump in our seats as a man did the same next to Stiles. "Not smart to come alone."

"What makes you think we came alone?" The boy next to me smirked, and I couldn't help but take the grin out of my face. Malia, Kira and Scott had come with us.

"You brought a wolf into my home?" She got up from her chair.

It was my turn to smirk. "No, of course not. How could we do that?" She seemed to relax, but only for a couple of seconds due to my following words. "We brought an Alpha."

"My friends..." She sighed as she turned around. "I don't think you're aware of your poor timing. Do you know what the dark moon is?"

"The part of the lunar phase when the moon is least visible in the sky," Lydia said in a robotic tone.

"But do you know its meaning?"

"Some people say it's a time of reflection. Or grief." I intervened.

She glanced at me. "Grief and loss, mija. I wonder why, when you and your friends have suffered so much loss, you would risk it again for someone like Derek Hale."

"'Cause, we don't like to lose."

One of the men next to Araya stopped us from continuing talking as he started speaking to someone on the other line of the walkie talkie. I couldn't help but have a tiny smile on my face when I heard the voice of my brother through it. "Stiles. Take 10 off the table."

As the button-nose boy did what my brother had asked for, I decided to speak up. "Maybe you should just take the deal." Lydia nodded her head, smiling at the woman in a sickeningly way.

"While I'm keen to follow the warning of a Banshee," She glanced at me. "And of course, the one of a Siren. I'm going to have to decline."

"Aaaa... Come on. Just give us Derek. You don't want him anyway. Haven't you noticed what a downer he is? No sense of humour, poor conversationalist." I tried to maintain a serious expression as Stiles's continued speaking. "Just come on, take the money."

Araya grabbed the walkie talkie once again. "Severo? Show them how the Calaveras negotiate." When Araya left the room, the three of us were manhandled by the men. And I wasn't a Banshee, but even I could feel that Scott, Kira and Malia were in great danger right now.

Thinking back, we ended up here because Scott had gone to Derek's lot, just to find that he wasn't there. He had found bullets, and sending a picture to Deaton, he had learnt that it was the mark of a family of hunters based out of Mexico. The Calaveras.

Lydia said that he wasn't sure he was dead, but she also wasn't sure if he was alive, which was perturbing.

"He is awake!" Kira informed us as Stiles and I got closer to my brother, who was lying down on the floor of a dirty and abandoned bathroom, where we have been taken. "Guys, he's awake."

"Scott, you okay?"

"Yeah." He tried to get up. "They don't have him. They don't have Derek."

"We know." I sighed, offering him a smile that he sent back, trying to let me know that he was alright. "But right now, they've got Lydia."

"Lydia? What do they want with Lydia?" He asked rapidly.

"We always have the same question and it is always answered the same way," I spoke as everyone glanced at me. "The power of a Banshee."

My brother rapidly got up from the floor, trying to open the door with his bare hands, which wasn't working.

"We already looked for a way out. I think a lot of people have." I furrowed my eyebrows as Kira talked, not sure of what she meant until I saw the marks on the walls. Marks of people who desperately tried to escape, scratching the walls with all of their strength.

Malia was leaning against a column. "I say when that door opens again, we take out whoever's standing in the way and run for it."

"What about Lydia?" Kira asked, and I sighed, knowing Malia's next words.

"What about her?"

"We're not leaving without her."

"Why not?"

Stiles shook his head, getting closer to her. "Because we don't leave without people. Remember, we talked about this? Rules of the wild kingdom don't apply to friends."

"Is that what you would do as a coyote, leave her for dead?"

"If she was weak and injured, yeah. If hunting had been bad that season, I would eat her. Then I'd leave."

"Mmm. Believe it or not, that's progress." I crossed my arms over my chest. "Stiles and I've been trying to explain everything to her."

"All right, guys, we're not dead yet." My brother interrupted. "And that means Araya wants something."

Kira glanced at the dark-haired boy standing by her side. "But if the Calaveras don't know where Derek is, that means they didn't take him from the loft. Right?"

"Maybe he left on his own." Stiles completed.

Scott glanced at the floor. "Maybe someone else got to him."

We couldn't continue with our theories as the door abruptly opened, showing three men that quickly walked to us. However, we were soon met with darkness.

When I opened my eyes, my head was aching and everything around me seemed to move in circles. My throat was dry as if I haven't drink anything in days. I gradually noticed that I was tied to a chair and that my brother was tied to another one, right next to me.

The door of the room where we were now opened, showing Araya with another man and Lydia. "Oh, God," Lydia murmured as she saw us.

"Let her go. Look... you've got me. Just let the others go." My brother begged as Araya smirked. Her gaze moved to me. My brother followed her gaze, and it seemed like he had noticed from the first time that they had taken me too. "Why did you bring her?"

Lydia was chained to another chair as Kira came inside the room, also chained while a man grabbed her. What was going on? "So, let me explain what's about to happen." The man grabbing Kira spoke. "This one, the fox, has an immunity to electricity. So she's going to turn the dial on the Alpha. If she doesn't, I turn the dial on the Banshee and the Siren."

"No. I'm not doing this." Kira tried to resist.

"I see. Are you sure? One of your friends has the power to heal. The other? Not so much." Severo smirked. "And the other one might end up dying." Who?

"What are you doing?" Scott glanced at the old woman. "Is this a game to you?"

"This is a test, lobito. Let's see if you pass. We're going to ask some questions. You answer them, nobody gets hurt." She walked around us, but I had to close my eyes and lean my head down as everything continued moving around me. "You don't answer, we turn on the dial."

When I looked up again, my brother was looking at the fox girl. "Do what they say. Okay. Whatever they want. I can take it."

"So... We don't know where Derek is. We want to find him as well. You know who took him."

"What?" My brother asked her. "How would I know that?"

"That doesn't sound like an answer to me."

"We don't know." Lydia intervened. "Why do you think we came here?"

"Kira, turn the dial." The woman ordered, but Kira shook her head. "Should we turn the dial on Lydia instead?"

My brother quickly spoke up. "No, no! Do it, Kira. Do it."

"Let's start at one." As soon as she said that, my brother grunted, his hands gripping the chair he was sitting on, trying not to scream in pain. "Tell me! Who actually has Derek? Who had a reason, a vendetta particular to the Hales?"

My brother continued panting. "I said I don't know."

"Oh, you don't know because you haven't figured it out yet. So think! Who could've taken him?" They turned the pain even stronger. "Who had the power? The power of a shapeshifter?"

"I-I don't know."

"Oh! Someone who could have turned without you knowing. Turned, but not by a bite!"

"I don't know!" He screamed.

"Y-you.." My voice was a mere whisper, but swallowing I was able to scream. "You are going to kill him!" There were tears in my eyes. "You are going to kill him! Stop!"

Araya laughed, shaking her head. "No, mi amor." She smirked. "You will die first." I furrowed my eyebrows, feeling the temperature in the room dropping. I was cold. "Something told me lobito right here was going to be hard to peel." Her gaze shifted to my brother. "Your beautiful sister has poison running through her blood." My brother quickly glanced at me. "The longer it stays in her system, the more difficult to take it out. She can end up having seizures." I closed my eyes for a couple of seconds, feeling dizzier than before. "Say the name, Scott."

"Kate." What? Kate Argent?

"Okay," I heard Araya's voice. "Stop the machine." Severo did as he was told as another two men walked to Scott and Lydia, freeing them. My brother quickly walked to me, extending his hands to touch me. However, my body started shaking and I couldn't make it stop. "Severo bring the shot."

The door of the room opened again, this time two men were grabbing Stiles and Malia. Stiles's eyes widened as he saw me shaking while being tied to a chair. Before he could step forward, the man grabbing him stopped his movements.

"Don't dare any of you to touch her now." Araya's strong voice resonated through the room. Severo walked to me, stabbing the side of my neck with the syringe. I could feel the liquid running down my blood. Severo unleashed me, lying me down on the freezing ground as my body continued shaking.

"W-What did you do to her?? You old troll." I wanted to smirk at Stiles's use of vocabulary, but I was too busy being scared of the constant shaking of my body.

"She will be alright," Araya replied. "She has more water in her body than a human. The liquid we injected plus the water will do a quick job in removing the poison."

"N-nice." I tried to sound sarcastic.

"Fever might be a side effect of the poison, but you will be alright."

I watched as my brother talked to Araya while I was leaning against Roscoe with the others. Stiles was constantly asking me if I was alright. I felt a little weak, but my temperature was back to normal.

Scott finally walked to us. "So what now?" My boyfriend asked.

He shrugged. "She thinks she knows where we can find Derek."

"She gonna tell us where?" Malia asked while she leaned her head against my shoulder. My hand went up to play with her hair.

"Uh, actually, she's giving us a guide."

Stiles's face transformed into confusion, but it went away as soon as a big motorbike stopped in front of us. "You know her?" Stiles asked my brother.

As soon as the person took their helmet off, we saw a beautiful black woman whose neck seemed to be scarred. "Braeden."

"Who's Braeden?"

"She's a mercenary," Lydia added.

"Right now, I'm the only one who's gonna take you to la iglesia."

"The Church?" I questioned. "What's The Church?"

"It's not a place you'll find God," I smirked, liking her way of talking.

Getting inside the jeep, we followed her as she took us to la iglesia.

There was a comfortable silence inside Roscoe. The three girls were sitting behind as I sat on the front between my boyfriend and my brother. "Okay, I'll ask." Malia was the one interrupting the silence. "Who's Kate Argent?"

Kira put her hand up. "Uh, I'd like to know, too."

"Well, we were at her funeral. So, I'd like to know how she got out of a casket that was buried six feet underground." I chuckled, nodding my head that was resting on Stiles's shoulder as he drove.

"She was never in it." I glanced at my brother.

"She was Allison's aunt," Lydia spoke, and I could feel the pain in her voice. The pain of someone who recently lost her best friend. WAnd a total sociopath."

"You don't have to talk about it now if you don't want to." Kira whispered while glancing at the back of my brother's head.

"Um, yes, he does." I was going to scold Malia as if she was a curious child that didn't know when to keep her mouth shut.

"Yeah, she's right. You guys should know. You need to know."

"All right." Stiles sighed. "Kate was the one who set the fire that killed most of Derek's family."

"Some of them survived, like Cora, and Peter." Scott added.

"A very angry Peter," Lydia appended.

"Yeah, he's the one who bit and turned me." My brother sighed.

"And the one who scratched me." I added.

"And the one who finally caught up to Kate and killed her." Lydia explained.

"And we saw her buried." Stiles and I replied at the same time. He took his eyes off the road for two seconds to place a kiss on my forehead and ask once again, if I was feeling alright.

"No." Scott shook his head. "We saw a casket, remember? She wasn't in it. The Calaveras heard that Kate had been killed by an Alpha's claws. They wanted to make sure she was really dead. Her body was healing. More and more, as she got closer to a full moon. She was coming back. So they switched out the bodies. If a hunter is bit, they have to take their own life before they change. The Calaveras, they treat the code like law. They make it their responsibility to enforce it."

"Good for her." The were coyote intervened. "I wouldn't do it either."

"Would you kill half a dozen people to get out? Because that's what she did."

Kira sighed, placing her hand on my brother's shoulder. "So Kate's a werewolf now?"

"I don't know. You know, there's a saying, sometimes the shape you take reflects the person you are." I nodded along with my brother's words, remembering Jackson Whittemore. What was of him now?

"What kind of shape is sociopathic bitch?" As soon as the Martin girl spoke, the car was hit by something, making Stiles stop driving as we all got startled. We all got out of the car as Braeden got off her bike to ask what had happened.

"I don't know. It felt like we hit something." Stiles and Scott were examining Roscoe.

"Scott, we need to get there by night. It's too dangerous otherwise."

My brother sighed. "Go." Stiles made a gesture with his hands, trying to let him know that it was okay for him to leave with Braeden.

"Not without you."

"Dude, someone needs to find Derek. We'll figure something out. We always do. Just go."

I walked to my brother, kissing his cheek and embracing him. "Be careful, okay?" He nodded his head, wishing the same for me and sharing a look with Stiles. A look pleading him to take care of me.

Before he walked to the bike, he was stopped by the fox girl. "Scott... I can't think of anything else to say except for be careful. And...and I know 'Be careful' sounds kind of lame and I'm totally sure the second you're gone I'm gonna think of something much better, but I..."

"Uh, 'Be careful' works for me." I smiled as they embraced each other.

I sighed. "They are so cute," I whispered while wandering close to Stiles as his hands rubbed Roscoe's side, making sure that there wasn't any scratch.

"We are cuter." He replied while biting his lower lip and inspecting his jeep. I laughed and nodded my head and watching my brother disappear with Braeden.

"Guys," Malia grunted. Therefore, I turned around to look at her. "I don't think we hit something. I think something hit us." She was holding up what seemed like giant teeth or claw. I couldn't differentiate them, to be honest.

I sighed, leaning against the jeep as I examined my boyfriend inspecting the hood of his car. A screwdriver in his mouth. "Stiles, baby. Don't hate me. I know you love Roscoe but maybe we should just walk." He glanced at me with wide eyes. "It's getting colder and darker." I made a gesture to the girls as they rubbed their arms.

"Hey, I will never abandon this jeep. You understand me? Ever. Ever. Ever."

Malia glanced around. "Work faster, Stiles." She paused as her eyes continued examining the whereabouts. "There's something out here with us." I gulped.

However, night had fallen upon us and Roscoe wasn't working. Malia continued in front of us, glancing around, prepared to attack whatever was observing us. Kira had grabbed her sword while Lydia and I tried to help my stressed boyfriend. "Lydia, could you please hold the light still for a second? It's really hard to see anything if you keep shaking it like that."

Lydia scoffed. "I'm shaking it like this because we're in the middle of nowhere with your broken down jeep and we're being attacked by yet another razor-clawed monster. And I'm terrified."

"Well, just be slightly less terrified." He answered back. "You hold this." He handed me a big metal piece.

"What's this?" I inspected it.

"I don't know. I'm hoping it's not important."

"Oh god." I sighed. Things got worse as the next thing that happened was Malia running towards somewhere or something. "Malia!" I yelled. Kira ran after her while Lydia told Stiles to continue fixing the jeep.

"You... you please don't do that ever again!" Stiles scolded Malia as he drove. The jeep was finally fixed or so we were hoping.

"Do what?" She innocently asked.

"I... I thought you just took off. I thought you were running."

"I was running."

"No, I mean, like, I thought you were leaving."

Malia pouted, looking between Stiles and me. "I wouldn't leave without you guys." We glanced at her. "I would never leave without you two. Them I would leave."

"Yeah. Uh, it's progress." Stiles sighed. "I feel like the dad of a teenager girl." I nodded my head. Stiles and I had taken the paper of teaching Malia what she shouldn't do. The actions she must separate between a human and a were coyote.

"Don't do it again, okay?" I begged. "You scared us." She apologized. "And that doesn't look good."

"It's okay."

"Are you sure?" Kira looked worried as the rest of us. "It looks deep."

"I can feel it healing." I sighed in relief.

"You didn't see anything?" The Martin girl asked.

"Barely. It had a strong scent, though."

"Like what?" I asked while offering her water from my bottle.

She smiled at me as if she was a little puppy, grabbing the plastic bottle. "Like death."

When we finally arrived at the place where Scott and Braeden where we noticed that they were grabbing a young boy. Malia asked if that was Derek, to which Stiles replied 'Sort of'. That young boy was Derek Hale.

Derek Hale was a teenager once again.
