Hello!! I love your work!! For the prompt thing, Stiles is used to his friend living in the apartment below him. He's still a little tipsy and forgets that death eyebrows Derek moved in downstairs, and breaks into Derek's place so he can make a greasy carb-loaded breakfast to share. If this is too involved maybe Derek waking up to Stiles drawing/writing on his back?
Stiles was being very quiet. Very, very quietâas if he was hunting waaaaabits. He stifled a snort and felt his magic tingle out into his nose and fingers and feet to help muffle the sounds he was making. The floor in Jacksonâs living area, unlike Stilesâ in the apartment above, was polished wood. Stiles slipped his shoes off and almost fell over as he bent down to put them as neatly as he could near the door. Jackson had a strict no shoes in the house rule.
Luckily he also had a Stiles makes the best breakfasts on the planet rule, and kept his fridge stocked accordingly. Who could say no to their handsome, magic upstairs-neighbour making them a handsome, magic breakfast on a Sunday morning?
Actually, someone whoâd pulled last night could: Stiles screwed up his eyes and thought very carefully and reached his magic out towards the bedroom⊠Just one heartbeat. He managed to stop himself from crowing, âAll is clear!â
Stiles couldnât resist sliding in his socks towards the kitchen, though. He collided with the counter top with a resounding oomph. He didnât manage to retain his snort this time, but he was pretty sure the sound didnât travel; a Spark was an awesome thing to have when trying to hide your tipsy shenanigansâno matter how deliciousâfrom a grumpy werewolf.
Stiles pulled the one of the blinds out a bit and saw that there was a tiny slip of sunlight just showing through the long lines of the high rises outside. He turned around and focused very carefully on the clock on the microwave. He had approximately fifty-five minutes to make his momâs from-scratch hash browns, bacon, and chocolate-chip pancakes. The coffee machine for some reason looked different to the last time Stiles had broken in to cook breakfast, but it was set to the usual time.
Jackson was going to loooooooooove Stiles to the moooooon and back.
Stiles didnât even try to stifle his giggles this time.
He did what he had to with the potatoes and extra fancy cheese, figured that the super-duper sourdough would make super-wonderful toast, and mixed a little extra something-something into the pancake batter in the form of a pick-me-up spell. Even if Jackson hadnât had a big night last night, and even if he was still a bit of a prick, he worked hard. Even assholes deserved nice surprises sometimes. Stilesâ mom had always said that being kind didnât hurt anyone.
Stiles set everything in the fridge to keepânaked as the Saran wrap wasnât in its usual spotâthen put his ass on one of Jacksonâs stupid, designer kitchen stools and his head on the marble bench-top. It was far, far more comfortable than usual. Ten or fifteen minutes worth of sleep wasnât enough, but it would do for now.
â
The growl was expected, but didnât sound right. Stiles opened his eyes and blinked into the morning sun and was certain that Jackson would have told him if heâd become an Alpha in the last couple of weeks. They hadnât seen each other since the beginning of the month, but hell, that wasnât the kind of thing you kept from someone who relatively-regularly broke into your kitchen.
It might have been the Alpha in the voice that cinched Stilesâ understanding, though. âWho the fuck are you?!â
But, really was it the voice? It was probably that this guy was, and no offence to Jackson âcause even if he was hot, and he was, he had nothing on this guy. Stiles sucked in a breath and tried to make his thoughts come back to something that resembled coherent. The hot Alpha in front of him was wearing designer jockey-shorts and a murderous scowl. It was entirely possible that Stiles was still quite drunk, because both of those things seemed absurdly sexy.
Stiles tried for a smooth introduction, but all that came out of his mouth was a squeak. The werewolfâs eyebrows rose in tandem and all of a sudden Stiles understood. He sat back a little too quickly and was lucky that the wards heâd put into the walls hadnât been taken with all Jacksonâs stuffâthe magical safety-net righted him back onto the stool and Stiles was glad the counter was there between him and the Alpha.
He couldnât understand how heâd forgotten that Jackson got that out-of-the-blue transfer to the other side of the country. Well, he could, but he couldnât figure out how he was going to explain to hot-and-murderous-red-eyes that his magic sometimes fucked with his memory if there was tequila involved. Â
The Alpha was still glaring, but hadnât moved, so Stiles decided he should probably try to speak again, before the guy did come closer.
âIâm,â Stiles swallowed as the Alpha wrinkled his nose. Morning-after-tequila breath was likely not an attractive thing to such a sensitive scent organ. âIâm your upstairs-neighbour, and I seem to have made what Iâm hoping isnât actually a fatal error.â One of the eyebrows dropped, just slightly. Stilesâ brain declared that a good sign. âFull disclosure. Iâm a Spark. I set up the wards on this place for the previous tenant. Weâve known each other since kindergarten. Iâve been breaking in on every other Sunday morning for breakfast for a couple of years. The amount I drank last night,â the âwolfâs nostrils flared again, âmust have short-circuited my brain? I honestly forgot there was no Jackson here to eat my happy-face pancakes and drool over my hash browns anymore.â
The Alphaâs stomach made a very distinct noise, and his eyes faded from red to something Stiles wished he could describe. The guy glanced at his stomach and back up again, a look of betrayal pinking his cheeks. He breathed in quickly and seemed to regain his composure, saying with a stone-like face, âItâs your magic in the walls.â
That was possibly, Stiles thought, supposed to be a question. He should at least make an attempt to answer it.
âYes. Wards. Itâs what I do for a living. I can have them removed for you?â It was not something he should be doing after someone moved into a place, it usually had to happen before someone moved in, or they wouldnât be able to stay in the apartment or house. That, well. That confused Stiles enough that he felt his brain starting to try to claw its way out from underneath the remaining fog of the alcohol.
If the Alpha hadnât had the old wards removed, he shouldnât be able to be here. If he had had them removed and replaced, then Stiles shouldnât have been able to break in.
Stiles reached out with his magic again. They were definitely still his wards, and they hadnât been altered. The Alpha huffed and Stiles realized that he must have his drunk thinky-face on.
âDonât hurt yourself.â The Alpha looked far too amused for Stilesâ liking. If the wards on this place had failed and Stiles couldnât feel that, then he had a major, major problem. âHey,â the guy had taken a step closer and was waving a hand in Stilesâ direction. His nostrils were flaring in and out. âBreathe. Iâm not going to hurt you, and there is nothing wrong with your wards.â
That snapped Stiles out of it, but not enough to form a coherent sentence. âButââ
âJackson Whittemore is my cousin. He was born human, and then bitten by my Alpha mother.â He paused a few moments, possibly to let that sink in, then restated, âWe share both our bloodline and biteline. Thatâs why your wards havenât caused me any problems.â Â
This time Stilesâ brain caught up with what was being said. He breathed out a sigh of relief and decided not to dwell on the fact that the Alphaâs nose screwed up again. Instead, Stiles decided he should probably introduce himself.
âIâm Stiles Stilinski.â He swallowed and figured that he should try to exit, stage-left, as quickly as he could. He let his mouth move as quickly as it would. âIâm very sorry for breaking into your apartment, and I promise I wonât do it again. I made pancake batter and cheesy-hash browns. The spell on the pancakes is benevolent, I swear. The potato should be fried in a mixture of butter and olive oil or they wonât taste right. Iâll replace everything, I promise.â He glanced back at the fridge. âI will need to know where to buy that cheese, though, âcause I have no idea.â
âYou made hash browns with Cacio Bufala?â The Alpha, who Stiles still didnât know the name of, blinked like a stoned owl. He didnât actually look angry, though, just incredulous.
âI,â Stiles hoped his smile looked sincere, not snarky. âYes?â
The guy laughed, and Stiles really, really wanted to know his name now. He had the most amazing smile, and his eye were lit up with something other than the Alpha power theyâd had before. The fact that the man was basically naked wasnât helping anyâchiselled abs and power-house thighs and a thick treasure trail and lickable clavicles, and that was all without thinking about the dudeâs face. Any moment now the guy was going to smell Stilesâ arousal over the stink of his morning-after-tequila breath. The guy twisted around as he reached for another one of the blinds and shit.
The tattoo on the guyâs back. Jacksonâs Alpha was Talia Hale. Talia Hale only had one son. Stilesâ brain was definitely in danger of exploding. The man in front of him was pretty famous. He was an Alpha because he had, at the age of fourteen, ripped out the throat of the guy whoâd tried to assault his older sister. Stiles was, quite possibly, lucky to be alive. Then again, the traitorous part of his brain supplied, Jackson always maintained that his cousin was a fluff-ball in disguise, once you got to know him. Stiles always assumed that Jackson was down-talking the guy âcause he was jealous of his cheekbones or something.
The Alpha turned back and sniffed again just as the coffee machine beeped that it was ready. He flicked his eyes down over Stilesâ stale clubbing outfit and back up, hovering a moment over Stilesâ neck. âIâm going to get you a cup of wake-up coffee, and then you are going to make me pancakes and absurdly expensive hash browns, and once weâre eating you can tell me more about the wards. If the foodâs good enough, I wonât have you spell yourself out of them.â
Stiles nodded and managed to squeak out, âDeal.â
âIâm Derek, by the way.â

Expensive cheese name brazenly lifted from a Mental Floss article. Prompt me or Tempt me.

First of all, LOVE your blog! Secondly, have any recommendations on Sterek Fanfics?!? I feel like I've read them all but I always need more!!!
Thanks! Weâve been mutuals for a while now and itâs always nice to see you pop up :) I actually have a sideblog entirely dedicated to TWÂ so if youâre looking for a blog that focuses on it then maybe take a look at that, too. @wheredidhiseyebrowsgo is probably the best blog I know when it comes to fic recs/finding fics/etc. so you should give them a follow!
As for Sterek recs, oh geez⊠So, fun fact, on ao3 I actually have over 700 Sterek works bookmarked! And then I know thereâs a ton of little ficlets in my likes on here, too, and really my point is just that there are so many great Sterek works and I will list some of my all time favs in case you havenât seen them. And I do love all of these but my super-duper faves will have a â
next to them. I started at the back of my ao3 bookmarks and went in about five pages I figured 25 would be good enough for now, especially since some of them are series so thatâs actually more.
â
â
â
He Fucks My Best Friend by mydickisthealpha (667 words, rated M)
âI, for one, would like to vote to keep this as part of all the meetings,â Lydia announces and Stiles flushes scarlet basically everywhere. (My comment: short and funny, Stiles&Derek forget the pack is coming by and are having sex. Scott POV)
â
â
â
As the Lights Go Down by standinginanicedress (62,890 words, rated E)
Stiles is standing there looking bizarre â which maybe isnât a very nice thing or even a convincing thing to say about a person that Derekâs basically invited over to hook up with (whatever that even fucking means to kids these days) â but heâŠdoes. Heâs wearing dark jeans, a black hoodie with the hood pulled up so Derek canât even really see his face aside from his mouth and jawline, and heâs got that metal baseball bat in his fingers again.He looks like heâs come here to literally beat Derek to death.Then, he grins, lifts one shoulder up in a half shrug, and says, âI canât come in until you invite me.âDerek is mystified enough that all he can say is, âreally?â He thought that was a vampire thing.(My comment: AU but theyâre all still supes. Stiles is a spark and they are powerful things, him even more so because of plot you should read. standinginanicedress has several good ones you might want to peruse.)
â
â
â
The Domestic Series by thepsychicclam (149,239 words, various ratings)
First workâs description: Itâs Saturday night, and Derek Hale is at Toys R Us. Shopping for Leapfrog games. If asked, it wasnât exactly how he pictured his life. Or his Saturday nights. In which Derek and Stiles have been married for ten years, have two kids, and are planning their five year oldâs birthday party.
(My comment: The domestic series is just parent Sterek fluff for the most part and it is absolutely wonderful. Realistic, I think, in the fights that happen and how Stiles&Derek fit together. I love the children.
Also @thepsychicclam has a lot of wonderful works besides this series that should be read if you havenât but this is definitely my favorite.)

In which Derek and Stiles are made aware of their potential and have to make a choice about what their relationship will be.âLet me get this straight,â his dad says. âYouâre telling me a witch told Derek and yourself that you could be destined to be together and now Derek will be going to college with you?âStiles shrugs, resting his hands on his legs to stop himself from fidgeting. âThatâs about it, yep.â
â

â
My Heart Comes Tumbling Down by DevilDoll (5,689 words, rated E)

â

Derek is a sleepwalker who keeps wandering into his downstairs neighbourâs bedroom.Stiles is pretty sure the hot guy from the park is going to kill him in his sleep. He knows he shouldnât have been so obvious about objectifying the guyâs really fine ass.Too bad it turns out Derek is easier to get along with when heâs sleeping.
â
â
â
Play It Again by metisket (63,206 words, rated T)
In which Stiles goes along with one of Derekâs plans and ends up in an alternate universe as a result. He shouldâve known better. He did know better, actually, and that means he has no one to blame but himself.âLaura 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. Theyâre at an impasse. (And the rest of the family is staying emphatically out of it in a way that suggests bets have been placed.)â
Hemingway Can Suck It by KuriKuri (10,054 words, rated T)
âFor those of you who just transferred into this class or simply decided that day one wasnât important enough to attend, Iâm Professor Hale. Welcome to English 346, The American Novel.âStiles is pretty sure his mouth is hanging open right now and that his eyes are wide with shock, because holy fuck, he thinks he knows why his students transferred. Hell, if he was still an undergrad, he probably would have transferred, too. (Or: In which Stiles is a Biology professor and Derek thinks heâs a student.)
â

Derek assures them theyâre safe now.What appears to be salvation is nothing more than the start of the death of everyone Stiles cares about. The being known as Derek haunts him at every turn, unsatisfied until Stiles succumbs to Derekâs whims. Stiles isnât sure if that involves sexing him or eating him, and he really doesnât want to find out.
(My comment: pay attention to the tags! This is not a fluffy Sterek fic; what sex there is in this is basically Derek mind fucking Stiles and possessing him. Itâs good, I love it, but definitely heed the tags.)
â
â
â

Nothingâs gotten less complicated after all this time.Based on a kink meme prompt that grew legs and got serious.Note: This is a whole lot of pack!fic with a very slow build Derek/Stiles.

When the Bough Breaks by The Feels Whale (12,068 words, rated T)

How I Met My Werebunny by Moku (19,873 words, rated T)

â
â
â
For better, for worse by Vendelin (13,336 words, rated E)
Derek and Stiles have been married for six years. Derek loves his job as a successful lawyer, loves his financial security and his large house. It isnât until Stiles gets shot while working that he starts to understand that maybe Stiles isnât loving their life as much as Derek is. Â (My comment: human AU! Stiles is a cop and gets shot in the line of duty. Derek hadnât noticed they were drifting apart. Realistic with the coming back together & even has couples counseling. Angsty with a fluffy, happy ending.)
â
â
â
the other shoe by stilinskisparkles (4,633 words, rated T)

â
â
â
Those Are The Days That Bind Us by s_a_m (52,171 words, rated M)
His father wasnât stupid. He was an officer of the law, trained to look for patterns. He confronted Stiles about werewolves and they shouted and Stiles tried to explain but his father was so, so, so mad, more mad than Stiles had ever seen him, ever in all his life and then his father looked at him and said, âItâs like youâre not my son anymore.âAnd Stiles broke.(My comment: I love this one. Has some major angst and an unborn baby does die due to a possession kind of thing. But out of all the âStiles is kicked out of/leaves the packâ things this one is my favorite. I think Stilesâ progression through this is so good. It does have a happy ending but not without a lot of healing on Stilesâ end. Heed the tags.)
Divided We Stand by KouriArashi (156,742 words, rated M)
Derek is being pressured by his family to pick a mate, and somehow stumbles into a choice that they didnât expect and arenât sure they approve ofâŠ.
(My comment: This is the first work in The Searching Ceremonies. All of it is A++ and even has wolfcop (Peter/Sheriff Stilinski). Itâs all AU and the world is very well developed, plus every part of it is over 100k words. KouriArashi also has a lot of other wonderful works that should be checked out.)
Stilinskiâs Home for Wayward Wolves by owlpostagain (35,197 words, rated T)
âAt least your puppies knock first,â Stiles snorts. âHere I thought their alpha raised them to be well-mannered.â âThereâs a sign,â Derek responds stiffly. Stiles, whose curiosity outweighs even his hardest of grudges, abandons his chilly façade of nonchalance in a heartbeat. He jumps right up and all but pushes Derek out of the way in his effort to get to the window, and sure enough when he leans outside thereâs a laminated strip of cardstock duct taped to the vinyl siding: DONâT FORGET TO KNOCK Stiles gets cranky when we scare himâOr, in which Stiles Stilinski moves to Beacon Hills for his junior year of high school and accidentally adopts a pack of teenage werewolves.(my comment: fairly fluffy and humorous. owlpostagain is one of those that I never see recced and they have some amazing writing.)
here is the deepest secret nobody knows by owlpostagain (22,322 words, rated T)
âDerek,â Stiles groans. âYou have me. Youâve always had me, you absolute moron, how many physically impossible feats of life-saving heroics do I have to perform before you get it?â (my comment: post s2 and the pack is just starting to come together. lots of pack feels)
will to follow through by owlpostagain (42,411 words, rated T)
âIt depends entirely on how you look at it, I guess,â Stiles shrugs. âOn the one hand, instant healing and the apparently inherited ability to pull off leather at all times. On the other, serious attitude problems and a suspicious disappearance of eyebrows.ââEven Derekâs?â Danny snorts, âthatâs a lot of eyebrow to lose.ââI know,â Stiles agrees. âYou should see, itâs so weird. Every time I want to ask him where they go, except heâd totally eat my face off.ââThere are worse ways to die.â (my comment: Danny&Lydia&Stiles ultimate friendship post season 2. So good.)
