#Stiles is a chaos goblin

[noyzinerd]

Stiles: Don't act like you weren't gone on me the moment I waltzed into your life.

Derek: It wasn't so much a waltz as it was frantic skittering across a roof at 4AM followed by the sound of an accordion falling down the stairs.

what’s your total a03 word count? 942,573

what are your top 5 fics by kudos?

uhhhhh.  of all time?

1. cast our fevers in stone - a Teen Wolf AU in which Stiles was bitten instead of Scott, and also I tried to make the dumb werewolf show make more sense.

2. That We’ve Broken Their Statues - a Labyrinth/Harry Potter crossover  in which Sarah Williams becomes Lecturer In Muggle Studies.

3. Gifts, Stolen and Received - a Labyrinth/Dresden Files crossover in which Irene Williams hires Harry Dresden to negotiate with her Goblin Queen stepdaughter.

4. ten thousand cuts - Labyrinth fic in which Sarah perhaps ought not have been made Goblin Queen 

5. even bad wolves can be good - Teen Wolf AU where Stiles is and was always a cis girl.

do you respond to comments, why or why not?

I respond when I have the energy, even if it’s just a “thanks for reading, glad you enjoyed.”  I don’t always have the energy, though!  And sometimes I’ll be like “this is a really great comment, it’s so meaty, i should respond point by point” and then I... never do that.  I read and adore every single one, though!

what’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

uh, fuck. I typically go for bittersweet endings. probably “When the Chaos Calls Me Out,” since it’s pretty much unequivocally positive. 

what’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

all of them.  Either “Weights, Measures” (which is an exploration of how Wizarding Britain could become a Gilead rip-off), or “ten thousand cuts.”

do you write crossovers?

Lol, two of my most popular fics are crossovers.  I don’t write them particularly often, but yeah, I write them.

have you ever received hate on a fic?

I once got somebody who was being shitty about how rapists behave and what a rape victim ought to have done on a fic that was deeply, deeply personal to me.  But I have not received any sort of personal hate.  I also have an extremely low tolerance policy for inappropriate behavior in my comments and will delete that shit with extreme prejudice, and have moderated comments on my FFVII fics because I don’t want to hear people’s stupid opinions about my “problematic” pairings.

do you write smut? if so, what kind?

Absolutely, and I write all kinds.  I’ve written warm, tender morning sex and painful, angsty mutual noncon, and sex that was just business, and euphoric sex under the influence of sex pollen, and sex that felt warm and tender but was really just another way to lie.

have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of?

have you ever had a fic translated?

I’ve had one fic translated into Russian, and another made into a podfic.

have you ever co-written a fic before?

I did once, a Kastle fic.  It has since been deleted.  Other than that, not often, since my high school days.

what’s your all-time favourite ship?

Uhhhhhhhhhhh.  Probably either Vincent/Yuffie or Aoshi/Misao, since I go back to them so perennially.

what’s a wip that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

"Gifts and Treasures,” AKA the fic where Yuffie finds out just what the hell KH!Vincent’s deal is, and also, they find Lulu.

what are your writing strengths?

Premise, characterization, dialogue, research.

what are your writing weaknesses?

Finishing.

what are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

Depends on your viewpoint character.  If your narrator understands the language, then why??  If they don’t, then consider how much of the language they know/how well they’d be able to identify what they were hearing.  I am, however, 100% okay dropping single words/phrases in other languages as long as the context makes their meaning clear.

what was the first fandom you wrote for?

Yoroiden Samurai Troopers.

what’s your favourite fic you’ve written?

I’m genuinely not super sure.  I guess it’s whatever I’m writing currently?  I’m proudest of “Broken Statues” and “Flicker From View,” but I’m super excited about “When The Chaos Calls Me Out.”

tagging - you, reading this!

Afterwards Derek is blissed out and sleeping between them, Stiles gets to talking to Mitch, and says maybe they could do this again sometime... and that's the story of how Mitch accidentally ends up in a poly relationship.

But also, imagine the shenanigans. Mitch is doing his usually monthly seminar at the sheriffs office and Stiles happens to be swinging by so he goes over and gives him a kiss; everyone is like ??? Bc isn't Stiles dating Derek? Did they break up?

Except no, because they see Stiles and Derek on a date that weekend. But that means... is Stiles cheating?

But then after THAT Mitch and Derek are seen around together, holding hands and being very couple, and everyone is so confused.

That confusion only gets worse when the three of them are all hanging out together at some barbecue that John hosts for the sheriff's department.

Mitch and Stiles know EXACTLY what they're doing, and they love fucking with everyone Bc they're awful chaos goblins. Derek and John are exasperated, because really, those two really are meant for each other; they're terrible together. But at least there's never a dull moment!

Here's an AU 👀

Established Sterek, Human AU. Derek has been taking self-defense lessons the past few months; a suggestion from Stiles, to help Derek be more comfortable with himself after Kate™️. It doesn't change what happened when he was a teenager, but it makes Derek more confident, and it's a way for him to reclaim his body.

Now, I've actually already written this exact premise, except Stiles was the instructor. (And the rest of the pack each had their own Thing; together they owned their own gym, it was very sweet)

Instead, this time the instructor is... Mitch. He's a personal trainer/martial arts instructor that was recommended by John; sometimes he does training seminars for the deputies.

Mitch and Derek get along famously; at first Mitch seems pretty reserved and he can match Derek for sheer Grump Factor, but once he warms up and thaws out a bit, he's just as sharp and snarky as Stiles. Also Mitch doesn't ask questions or make assumptions; he's very good at keeping everything under wraps, the guy is nearly impossible to read. But when Derek comes to him with Very Suspiciously Specific scenarios, asking how one would get out of the situation, Mitch just shrugs and shows/tells him how like it's no big deal. Derek kind of loves him for it.

Stiles jokes about being jealous over Derek's new crush on the teacher and Derek is embarrassed but also insists he's not interested in Mitch that way, but also feels guilty because he kind of is. And Stiles has a habit of pushing things to far, but when he notices Derek getting flustered in a less fun and more extremely stressed kind of way, he backs off.

He still wants to meet Mitch, though, see what all the fuss is about. So next time he's scheduled to be at the Sheriff's station for an afternoon, Stiles makes sure to take his dad lunch.

And. Well. He can see the appeal.

Mitch has got that whole ruggedly handsome, looks like he could kill someone with his pinkie but also like he rescues kittens thing going on, and he's gorgeous, and he's funny. It's especially funny that Derek clearly has a type, since Stiles can definitely see the similarities between him and Mitch. Wink wink. Stiles will have to tease Derek about that later. Gently ofc.

Idk where I'm going with this and it's alread too long, but the end result: they have a threesome. That's it. No love triangles or infidelity here; Stiles is totally down, Derek just needs a little nudging to convince him that Stiles doesn't feel betrayed or jealous or anything, and he's allowed to have nice things.

Times Stiles Proved He Was Terrifyingly Vengeful--BONUS ROUND: Two ACTUAL Moments of Stiles Being A Spiteful, Petty, Chaos Goblin That Are Canon

1. In s01e06, after Scott had ignored Stiles' calls about the Alpha all day to play hooky with Allison and elements of Scott's life also managed to get the sheriff hit by a car in s01e05, Stiles tells Scott that he is willing to help Scott control his power despite still being super mad at him because, quote, "your crap has infiltrated my life" (Stiles does, in fact say at three different points that he's still mad at Scott throughout the episode). This "help" consisted of Stiles telling Scott to raise his keys in the air as Stiles keyed a guy's truck, before loudly yelling "Whoa! What are you doing to that truck, bro?!", then watched as 4 guys pummeled him into the ground.

All of this was, of course, after Stiles had already taped Scott's hands together and pelted Scott with lacrosse balls earlier that morning.

2. That time Stiles found out Scott made out with Lydia in season 1 (when he was actually supposed to be Stiles' wingman) and offered Scott a dog bowl for him to drink out of.

Think about that. After lacrosse practice, Stiles had to stop off at a store to buy a dog bowl for like $9 and a bottle of water, all for a one time jab at Scott. He sat there in his Jeep angrily sketching in Scott's name onto that bowl with a Sharpie before shoving this unnecessary bowl and bottle of water in a 15 pound bag of chains that he lugged up the stairs. Stiles spent actual, for real money and effort for this 2 second bit.
