March Fic Rec

back to back recs cuz I wasn't paying attention to the weeks fly by😅

Obsession by Rae666 - (Rating: Mature, Words: 2,399, sterek)

Derek gets hit by a witch's curse and is confined to his loft as his uncle searches for a cure and Isaac stands guard. But as the curse grows worse and Derek's obsession with a certain pale skinned person becomes increasingly intense, how long can the team keep Derek and Stiles apart, especially when Stiles decides to take matters into his own hands?

The Wolf by rororowyourboat - (Rating: G, Words: 3,901, sterek)

Stiles and Derek haven't seen each other in years, but after talking on the phone nonstop for months now, Derek is finally moving back to Beacon Hills. The day he's supposed to arrive, he stops responding to Stiles' texts, and then a blue-eyed wolf shows up on his porch steps. Obviously something has happened to Derek, and Stiles needs to help him out... right?

Tease by katrint - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 4,852, sterek)

Stiles is used to Derek being all growly, claiming and rough when he gets jealous, but when something that usually would make Derek all the above happens, and Derek shows no interest in Stiles whatsoever, Stiles starts to worry.

Ulterior Motives by useyrwordsderek - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 11,082, sterek)

In which Stiles is warm for Derek’s form, Derek is repressed, and Erica is awesome. (Lydia is also awesome, but that goes without saying.) Author’s notes: Set after Season 2; mild spoilers for all of S1 and S2. Previously posted to LJ. My first Teen Wolf fic! Be gentle!

It feels like a perfect night (for breakfast at midnight) by princecharmingwinks - (Rating: G, Words: 1,068, sterek)

Stiles is floating on cloud nine. He is absolutely living his best life. It's a Saturday night, he's out with his friends and he's dancing like it's his birthday. Because it is! (Or it will be in 20 minutes, once midnight ticks around). And what better way to celebrate the respectful age of 22 than a night out?

The Hale Beast by secretfanboy - (Rating: Mature, Words: 17,707, sterek)

Stiles would rather be at home playing X-Box than attending the ceremony inaugurating the Wolf nation's sovereignty over the Argent kingdom, but he's the Sheriff's son so those are the breaks. What he doesn't expect is the feral werewolf Prince Derek AKA The Beast to take an interest in him.

He was alone with the Beast. His heart started pounding its way up into his throat. A burst of static came from his cell phone. "Scott! Oh my god! He's here! The Hale Beast is here with me and I'm alone and no one is here to witness when he kills me...to death!"

Treasure by Hedwig221b - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 71,231, sterek)

“I know you don’t trust me,” Derek grunted. When Stiles inhaled to retort, Derek caught his chin and pressed a finger against his lips, making the boy freeze in place, eyes impossibly wide. “Don’t argue. I expected it. Wolves don’t trust easily, too. I just wanted you to know that… I’m sorry. I was selfish and didn’t see what was in front of me. You don’t need to worry. I’ll take care of everything.”

It was a thought that grew in his mind, spread to his heart and took root there, reincorporating into a deep desire and a vital need. Derek will take care of him and his little pup, he’ll bring the hearts of his enemies and put them at the boy’s feet. He’ll court and he’ll conquer.

The Mending That You Need by torakowalski - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 3,861, sterek)

“He’s not my boyfriend, Stiles. He’s a man from a club. I couldn’t call him, if I wanted to.”

Even Forbidden Fruits Get Picked by flitterflutterfly - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 18,658, sterek)

When Stiles’ best friend gets himself bitten by a rogue werewolf, Stiles convinces him to seek aide from the local pack. Stiles tags along, ready to help Scott despite the knowledge that he likely wouldn’t be welcome. After all, Doms rarely ever approved of Stiles and he thought the Hales would be no exception. So he was surprised to find that not only had the rogue seemed to develop some kind of creepy fascination with him, the young alpha wolf, Derek, seemed to want him as well.

Transformation by sffan - (Rating: T, Words: 1,885, sterek)

“Dude. You turned into a wolf. What the hell? When did that start being a thing?”

Okay playing off @mirrorthoughts last ask:

Thoughts on Alpha werewolf Stiles and his second in command, werewolf Chris Argent? 😉

I HOPE YOU’RE THINKING SHIPPY THOUGHTS BECAUSE I’M THINKING SHIPPY THOUGHTS! Ahem. *smooths down hair*

I love the way this ask is worded because it makes me feel like I can handwave how this situation came to be and just GET TO THE GOOD STUFF.

When I think Chris and Stiles, I think PINING. Second in command werewolf Chris being OUT OF HIS MIND because twitchy kid Stiles Stilinski turned into young but extremely competent alpha, person Chris trusts most in the world, maybe love of Chris’s LIFE, but he can’t fuck this up because they actually have a stable pack, and Beacon Hills is finally not the murder capital of Northern California, and also Stiles wasn’t even born yet when Chris graduated high school. Fuck his life.

Meanwhile Stiles is over here like, he might be the glue that holds the pack together, but Chris is the glue that holds him together. Chris became his second in the early days, back when Chris was still human. He doesn’t really understand how it happened, but Chris became his rock, that solid energy he rests up against when everything feels like it’s spinning out of control. He trusts him, not just with his life, but with helping him make good decisions for the pack, to have his back, to tell him when he’s off the rails.

Derek and Peter had hammered it into him that having a person as his anchor isn’t a good idea, so Stiles has anchored himself to something else but…Chris is still a big part of what keeps him sane and grounded.

Also, turns out when Chris is happy and healthy he not only has bulging werewolf-fueled muscles, he also has a little extra meat on his bones, and a belly that is just a bit soft around the edges and he looks big and solid, and Stiles is OBSESSED with the way he feels small and protected when Chris wraps him in his arms, even though they’re the same height. He’s pretty sure if he could curl up with Chris and sleep for about eleven years, it would fix him.

Chris knows he and Stiles don’t have a typical Alpha and Right Hand relationship. He’s seen how other packs operate, and it’s definitely more of a business relationship than he and Stiles have. He and Stiles are wrapped up in each other in all the ways. Protecting the pack. Protecting each other. Hugs and neck nuzzles and eating meals where they end up still sitting at the table hours later just talking about anything and everything.

Everything he’s read says it shouldn’t work that way, but every time he tries to put some distance between them and act like he’s “supposed to” around his alpha, things fall apart. It’s bad for Stiles. It’s bad for the pack. So fuck the rules. He and his alpha are what they are, and everyone will just have to deal with it. Including himself. Because fuck his life he’s in love with his alpha.

And Stiles decided ages ago that what he has with Chris is enough. Sure, he really really wants to push Chris up against a wall and kiss him senseless before letting Chris take him to bed, but he can live without it. Chris is partner enough, just as things are.

This might have gone on forever if Peter and Derek hadn’t come back for a visit. They watch the alpha and his second in command like they’re a reality show until suddenly one day Peter can’t take it anymore and says “Jesus Christ, you’re not the typical Alpha and Right Hand because you’re mates, you idiots!”

And…

Oh.

First off, TYSM FOR ALL THE WONDERFUL TAGS AND QUESTIONS 🫶🫶

Second, to answer all this (I’m just gonna answer them here as to not clog my blog)

- I’d say they spent an equal amount of time on the Lady Lucrezia (Ty for reminding me of the name) and that log cabin/mansion lake house thing Divan also owns. Where they’re staying really just depends on where Divans staying. If he decides to not bring them on a business trip/on the Lucrezia for whatever reason, they taken care of by Argent and the rest of his staff back at the lake house.

- Yes, unfortunately, due to the environment they grew up in, Rea and Jules are really desensitized to unwinding by the time they’re adults. I also think Roberta and Divan put a ton of pro-unwinding propaganda in their heads during childhood to drive home the point further.

- For now, I’m saying the twins became parts pirates because they feel sorta indebted to their caregivers and feel the need to carry on their business and beliefs even though unwinding has definitely fizzled out a lot by the time they start working.

ALSO YES PLS DRAW MY BABIES IN THEIR FANCY LITTLE OUTFITS ILL CRY AND LYSM /P

OH GODDDDDDD I LOVE THEM SO MUCH ACTUALLY???????? morally grey characters who are the way they are because their parents are morally grey and not just because they because. villains. for lack of a better word. always a story about the antagonist and never a story about the legacy that the antagonist leaves that affects the people around them. reagen and jules are that legacy. im so obsessed with them this entire concept is just so good. something something bust your kneecaps by pomplamoose. it just fits them so well!

love the lake house... me when i grow up living in a lake house and the world's largest airplane ever built with my sibling like my parents are divorced and i spend every two weeks at each place but they actually just hate each other and didn't want to deal with raising me so they make the most influential guy in the parts market raise me instead. actually do roberta and nelson hate each other? what is their deal with each other? are either of them in the picture at all or did they literally just ship reagan and jules off to divan to be raised...

and again with the legacy of the antagonist thing. im so fascinated with what their moral outlooks must be like because holy shit imagine growing up around both the head of proactive citizenry and the scariest guy in the parts market and being fed all of that. what do they think when they meet someone who isn't pro-unwinding??? i mean that must just be so foreign to them. and of course they'd become parts pirates because it's all they know, gotta carry on the family legacy, it's a dying art and we are the only people who can preserve it etc (do they have complexes about that...). do reagen and jules feel differently about unwinding or do they both mostly feel the same?

i am so so so fascinated by these two oh my god. putting them in a jar and observing them under a microscope. i need to understand what goes on in those heads of yours.

here is a little drawing of them because they are silly!!!! i hope it looks like them 🙏 i wanted to doodle them first before I drew them in their silly little fancy outfits so hopefully that is coming soon...

[eneiryu]

do you have any headcanons for characters you haven’t worked into fics yet?

This took me a while to answer, because I genuinely had to mull it over. And I think the answer is no…? But honestly it’s entirely possible that I think I’ve put something into a story that I haven’t, so I decided to list out some of my headcanons that I feel like I have covered, just in case:

This one is glaringly obvious to anyone who’s even glanced at my stories, but I see Theo as incredibly guilty, and with massive…not self-worth issues, exactly, in the sense that he doesn’t think he’s got valuable skills or is an interesting person or whatever, but in the sense that he thinks the things he’s done make him unredeemable. And even with his relationship with Liam and his tighter integration with the McCall pack, he still sees it all as temporary and…a mistake, almost. One that Liam and the McCall pack could wake up from at any moment.

One of Theo’s most tried-and-true methods for dealing with Liam’s anger is just to bait him into expressing it, literally trying to get Liam to attack him because he can take it, heal from the damage, and—because I also headcanon Theo as a great fighter (though I think that’s heavily backed by canon)—oftentimes just kicking the shit out of Liam as well. And it’s extremely effective!

I tend to see Theo as someone who has always seen sex as transactional, whether explicitly or not. And as has come up in numerous of my fics—that he used to use himself and his looks as tools to get what he wanted or was ordered to. I also headcanon this as something that certain people in the pack have figured out, mostly the adults—Argent, Melissa, the Sheriff, etc. I see it as something he doesn’t really talk about and generally doesn’t really see as a problem.

But in that vein, and tying in with the fact that I think Theo is genuinely just tired, emotionally and existentially and a lot of the times physically, that he really just wants someone he can follow, who he can trust to follow, who will guide him and point him in the right direction and make use of him. And, more to the point: use him well. And I think the top three people for him in that vein are Liam, Scott, and Argent.

I see Scott as Liam’s third parent, and everyone is just sort of cool with that, without it really being something that’s discussed. Their relationship is very father-son -ish to me, with Liam looking to Scott for all kinds of guidance, and trusting in what he gets back.

Obviously I’ve got my Argent & Theo BroTP. I feel like with the way I write Theo, they’ve got a lot in common, and more than that, that Theo trusts Argent to see him without subjectivity or clouded judgement, and Theo therefore finds Argent very comforting, because he trusts that Argent would take him out before he could revert back to his old ways—which I genuinely think Theo obsessively worries could happen at anytime, and that he won’t be able to stop himself.

I really do see Malia as incredibly clearheaded in the sense that she just doesn’t see or doesn’t acknowledge things that seem like bullshit. There are just what things are, and I think that’s an incredibly important need for the McCall pack, which I feel like can get very caught up in the metaphysical/existential right-and-wrong of it all.

I adore Deaton and really do think he’s got that silent, “I always know more than what I’m saying” thing going on, and is always, always trying to do right not just by the pack, but by everyone. I also really like the idea—explored in one my fics—that he and Peter have a lot of lived-in history.

I’m sure there are a million others, but coming up with them on my own initiative is hard. 😅 If anyone has specific asks about certain characters, happy to try and answer them.

[bucky-bucky-bucky-bucky]

I’m rewatching the teen wolf movie bc I hate myself and here are some of my thoughts:

First of all, I love the show. I started watching it from the very first episode way back in 2011. I was 15. And I was immediately in love / obsessed with the show. I’m 28 now and I still love it. But this movie is heinous. It’s a disservice to the characters, the actors, and the fans. I still wear my BHHS lacrosse sweatshirt proudly, but goddamn this movie is bad. If anyone cares, my feelings and thoughts are below 🐺

Did they think that we didn’t know who the guy in the black hood was? did they think we couldn’t tell? Did they think that we didn’t know it was Harris? In his first scene, they showed only the bottom half of his face- and it’s so obviously Harris. Then he starts talking, and it’s SO OBVIOUSLY HARRIS. Like did they think it was going to be a big surprise? Did they think it was a reveal??? At least change his voice a little or SOMETHING. Be so fr. When I watched it the first time, he was standing there in his very first scene and I said “oh, Mr Harris is back”. And then at the end they acted like it was some sort of reveal? I know that characters didn’t know, but it was extremely obvious to the viewer.

Why did Scott not become a vet? He deserved to be a vet!!!

Why tf does Derek own a garage? And he’s also an arson investigator? And he has a son?? This man’s like makes no sense. Who tf is his son’s mother? Why don’t they reference her even a little bit? So weird.

Stiles would never abandon the jeep tbh. When he went away to his FBI internship, he left it to Scott. And at the end of the show, it was stiles who had it. He’d never just ditch the jeep.

Mason is too smart to be a cop. I said what I said.

Allison comes back from the dead with red nails because she died with red nails. But if she came back to life exactly as she was when she died, does that mean she came back to life as a teenager? She died at age 17. And if that’s the case, it’s weird that she and Scott are together at the end. Cause he’s 30. It makes no sense honestly.

Why tf can Parrish not find a woman his own age? He was flirty and weird with Lydia when she was still in high school and in the movie he’s sleeping with Malia who he was friends with when she was 16-17. Very cool and normal.

I’m glad they brought the nogitsune back because it’s my favorite villain from the show, but obviously it doesn’t hit as hard without Stiles.

Eaddy Mays’s triumphant return as Victoria Argent- she serves so much cunt. I love her so much.

One of the only slays of this movie is that Melissa is a doctor now.

This movie is two hours and twenty minutes long and it somehow feels they didn’t do anything in that timeframe. Like obviously there’s a plot that moves along but it just doesn’t feel like anything happens for some reason?

In what universe was it Scott’s fault / Scott’s pack’s fault that Harris got sacrificed? It was the darach who did that- not Scott or his friends. Harris’s motive makes literally no sense. And wouldn’t have the darach known that Harris lived? Wouldn’t her rituals have failed because she needed three of each sacrifice for them to be successful? And since Harris lived, that means that there were only two sacrifices in his category. The nonsense is so strong with this movie

Scott playing in the lacrosse game is so hilarious, this man is thirty

Why do all of Harris’s lines at the game seem to be very poorly mixed ADR? Who edited this? 💀

Why the fuck did Derek have to die- and why did he have to burn alive? Truly he deserved so much better. He went through so much shit in his life and he shouldn’t have fucking burned to death. He deserved a nice quiet life with his kid. And to that point: I do not believe that he would’ve chosen to leave his son like that. Plus, Eli had to watch his dad burn alive! What kind of bullshit is that!

And tbh, the sacrificial death should’ve been Peter. I love Peter, but homie needed a redemption moment after the many many years of bullshit and schemes and double crosses. They should’ve made it so that Peter was there at the nemeton with them at the end. He could’ve stepped up to save Derek and Eli in that moment to show that he’d grown. Sacrificing himself- not just to save others, but to save his family too- could’ve been his redemption. But noooooo. They just had to kill Derek. Trash.

[princeescaluswords]

Thanks for posting about fandom racism and racialised lenses. I’m sorry for messaging anonymously. I don’t want to risk racialised pushback on this platform - I try to keep this a place where I can chill.

I saw another great example of the ‘lack of empathy towards Scott’ thing recently. A fan was saying how they felt so sorry for Theo because Scott had told him he was ‘barely even human’.

And don’t get me wrong. Theo is a great, tragic, complex and hella good-looking character. There are a lot of those in TW, including, of course, Scott.

But it’s like, *dude*. Scott tells Theo that *mid-murder*. He’s seconds away from death and saying that to the person who is *actually killing him*.

These are such small things to notice, right. But cumulatively, god, they can wear some of us down.

This is going to sound like a non sequitur, but have you ever watched right-wing populist talking heads like Tucker Carlson, Matt Walsh, or Ben Shapiro complain about Hollywood's 'woke agenda' when it comes to recasting characters with non-white actors? It's fascinating. They very often take pains to inform us about their disdain for the cultural property in question. And while they're simultaneously telling us that we couldn't pay them enough to watch it, they also tell us why the recasting is bad and it ruins the story, though they never get around to telling us why it's so important that the character be played by a white actor.

They sound uncannily like Sterek shippers about Teen Wolf the Movie.

And not just about the movie. I mean, Anti-Scott Fandom will underline every incident from the series that makes them hate Scott McCall while demonstrating that they don't remember (or choose not to remember) any context surrounding those incidents. As you pointed out, they can find empathy for Theo after Scott delivered a mild insult (and it is mild considering that Scott 'clinging to his humanity' is so often used as an attack on him in this fandom) to the chimera while Theo was in the middle of killing him. But let's be fair. It certainly wasn't kind of Scott to point out that Theo was so evil that he pretended to be the pack's friend so he could murder Scott and enslave the others.

But then again, they do so love Derek Hale, who took the time to tell Jackson Whittemore how much Jackson deserved being murdered in Co-Captain (1x10). And, to make sure I am not a hypocrite, the context was that Derek was about to slaughter Jackson because serial-killer Alpha Peter had ordered Derek to do it.

Or they can tell us that Scott wasn't a very good friend to Stiles in Seasons 1 & 2 because he didn't pay attention to Stiles's emotional needs, but it was perfectly fine for Stiles to live vicariously through Scott's lycanthropy. Or to condemn Scott to Cocytus because he didn't have faith in Stiles in Season 5 after everything they had been through together, but it was perfectly understandable that Stiles had so little faith in Scott in Season 3A that Chris "Ever See a Rabid Dog?" Argent had to call Stiles out on it.

Scott is bad because he's sexually obsessive with Allison, though Stiles's stalking possessive behavior toward Lydia is not. Scott is bad because he was fooled by Theo, even though Derek was fooled by Peter, Kate, Peter again, Jennifer, and Peter a third time. Scott is bad because he keeps trying to go back to a normal life, though Stiles is perfectly justified trying to abandon Scott in Battlefield (2x11).

And so on, and so on, and so on.

It's not just a lack of empathy. It's entitlement. Certain characters just get to be mean to other characters when they're scared or overwhelmed or just having a bad day, and certain characters don't. Certain characters get to be "sassy," and certain characters don't. Certain characters get to pursue what makes them happy regardless of what's going on in the larger world around them, and certain characters don't. Certain characters get to make mistakes and be treated with empathy and compassion, and certain characters are held to a standard that reduces them to saint or demon. Certain characters are labeled villains when they get the people they've recruited killed or literally murder innocents with a quip and then be celebrated for it, while certain characters are labeled boring, one-dimensional, and cheats when they try their best to save people and refuse to use murder as a tool to get what they want. Anti-Scott fans -- hell, not just them, every Sterek authors who has Stiles argue "I know that Derek was an asshole, but he meant well, so, Scott, you have to submit so I can get laid!" -- cannot explain to anyone why only white characters get the benefit of that doubt, anymore than Tucker Carlson can explain to anyone why its a sign of the downfall of civilization that the actor playing Ariel in the live-action version of The Little Mermaid isn't white or Zendaya got to play Mary Jane Watson.

BUT IT'S NOT RACISM.

[stunfiskz]

Favorite moment

paper caper her and carmen’s conversation ❤️

Idea for a story

First Ship: Considering I’ve watched way too much tv and movies and stories have been my life forever, I am guessing when I say Tenchi Muyo/the pirate lady who I was lowkey just in love with myself but was too 6yo to realize that. My tastes in ships haven’t changed. I’m just more aware now. Official first ship when entering fandom tho was Ereri.

3 ships: I’m too bisexual to be choosing things like this. Ok let’s go.

1. Steter. I spent way too much of my life consumed by those two not to list it. I may not be active in the teen wolf fandom anymore but that doesn’t mean I don’t still ship it.

2. Tomarry/Harrymort. It’s giving unhinged, enemies/lovers, prophesized soulmates, destined to be integral to each others’ lives whether they like it or not, hopelessly devoted/unhealthily obsessed. So basically my type. the blueprint you might say

3. Wednesday/Tyler. Wyler is my current obsession and anyone who knew me at peak steter won’t be surprised at all. Tyler is basically a steter baby who got lost in transit and landed as the son of Chris Argent/Sheriff Stilinski’s hate child in a neighboring universe. Everything about them individually and as a unit calls to me.

Last Song: New Cold War by JAXSON GAMBLE

Last Movie: Addams Family Values. I’ve been binging House so the last movie I actually watched was Addams Family Values because that sweet sweet Thanksgiving scene. Also Debbie Jelynski would adopt Tyler as her grifter protege and I think that’s beautiful.

Currently Reading: Lord of the Flies. I’ve been working my way through a bunch of classics I never got around to reading. Next up is either Frankenstein or Dorian Grey. Or Coraline. I haven’t decided.

Currently Watching: House M.D. Never properly watched it. I’m near done with S1 rn.

Currently Consuming: Egg Sandwich and a coffee

Currently Craving: Rasberries and hot cocoa

Tagging: @realmermaid333, @doohanhunter, @sissytobitch10seconds, and @nonamemanga

[beyourownanchor6]

Thank you so much my friend! I'm planning a chill bday. Gonna indulge in some of my favorite foods, watch a movie, maybe play some videogames... and i'm glad you love dudette! "dude" is gendered and I try to respect people's pronoums always so since you go by she/her I had to find the female of dude. Apparently dudette was big in the 90s.

I agree Dylan hasn't made a bad movie! I'd say my favorite is The First Time, because it's the first movie of his that I saw. Also i was heartbroken he didn't come back for the tw movie lmao. Oooh what movie was that? I love lifetime movies and a good villain, something tells me she'd play a great villain. She has the range.

Oooh a vacation! Nice!! I hope you have fun doing nothing for a bit. I'm a big snacker too and that's a great snack list!

Ok, next question: favorite ships. Specifically on 911 and tw, but really any fandom. (sorry if I already asked this, i have pretty bad memory lol). Also do you like disney movies? What is your favorite?

ooh that sounds like the perfect bday! it’s always nice to just relax and do some of your favorite things. i feel like people don’t use dudette enough lol. and love that it was popular in the 90’s since i’m a 90’s girly (gn)

love the first time! it was one of the first i saw of his as well. i will always be devastated that stiles and theo weren’t in the tw movie 🥲 i also really love dylan in love and monsters. the lifetime movie with holland is called: obsessed to death. always love me a good lifetime movie lol

thanks! i’m looking forward to relaxing and refreshing 🤗

oohh let’s see, and it’s ok i have a terrible memory too lol. for 9-1-1 i’m pretty basic. buddie ofc, love me some madney and henren. idk what their ship name is but i loved david and michael (bring them back please!!) for tw: thiam ofc, as much as i love sterek i’m a stydia girly at heart. scalison but also allisaac. love jethan and morey and whatever the ship is for melissa and argent. ngl tw is one of the few shows i multi-ship with. thiam is probably my otp but everyone else i ship with multiple people 😅

disney movies: i prefer more of the classic ones mostly. i’ve seen aristocats and 101 dalmations (animated) way too many times to count. other notable favorites are: monsters inc/sleeping beauty/toy story (the second is my favorite)/fantasia (i know i’m weird lol) /lilo & stitch/finding nemo/nbc/tarzan…thats all i can think of off the top my head lol

[vivitalks]

okay okay okay i have a half-baked theory, hear me out.

so we know deucalion aka The Demon Wolf can do this to his face

and there’s never really any explanation as to (a) why he can shift like that, or (b) why none of the other alphas or werewolves seem to have that ability.

BUT. we do see this type of Dark Shift (that’s what i’m calling it) happen one other time in the show:

in 4x10, “Monstrous,” when scott loses control and is on the verge of murdering that guy.

what else do we know? well, about deucalion, not a lot, but we know that prior to being blinded, he was an intelligent and respectable alpha who had a vision of peace and enough faith in humanity that he tried to make peace with gerard argent. of all people. we don’t know how old deucalion is or how long he’s been a werewolf, but if it’s true that he bit and turned alexander argent in 1977 (which we see in the opening scene of 3x05, “Motel California,” and which is later confirmed by gerard), that means he would have to have been an alpha for at least ~40 years.

outside of deucalion lore, we also know that this Dark Shift doesn’t happen to just any werewolves on the brink of murder, because it doesn’t happen to liam in the 5A finale when he almost kills scott. as far as canon goes, aside from deucalion, the Dark Shift only happens to one other person/werewolf - scott mccall, True Alpha.

so here’s my theory: before he was corrupted, Deucalion was a True Alpha.

think about it: we know deucalion had certain traits characteristic of a True Alpha before he was ambushed by gerard. he valued peace even in the midst of allies all clamoring for war. he wanted to see the best in his enemies (gerard) and to believe them capable of change. we know True Alphas are rare, but obviously scott wasn’t the first. it would make sense that any existing True Alpha would have a certain renown, and deucalion certainly had renown, both before and after being ambushed.

so for the sake of argument, let’s say deucalion was a True Alpha. he earned his power, became an alpha in his own right simply by strength of character, without ever having to kill. we know you can’t become a True Alpha if you kill someone before you can advance to that level, but what about after? what happens if a True Alpha kills someone?

i doubt you lose your alpha status/spark. that wouldn’t really make sense. instead, i think that maybe when a True Alpha corrupts by intentionally taking a life, the werewolf part of them corrupts too. it withers. it darkens. and it turns their shift into something even less human, but also less werewolf - more demon than anything.

this also fits in with that s4 scene with scott, because that scene is the only one where scott comes close to actually murdering someone. the Dark Shift starts to take over, but then, importantly, he stops, and doesn’t actually kill the guy he’s attacking. and the Dark Shift recedes, and we never see it on scott again. he never gets that close to killing someone again.

also ALSO! if deucalion was a True Alpha, but then was corrupted, that would even further explain (a) how he seemed to be so knowledgeable about True Alphas even without knowing scott at all and (b) why he was so desperate to corrupt scott. in morrell’s words, psychologically speaking deucalion both “desires” scott (as a reminder of what he once achieved) and is “threatened by” scott (as someone who is still capable of becoming a True Alpha and thus being “better” than deucalion himself, who is a former True Alpha, now corrupt). 

and as morrell says, if the obsessive can’t have the object of his desire, then he will choose to destroy it instead. think of scott in the beginning of season 4, feeling so threatened by liam’s skill in lacrosse that he accidentally plays too hard and injuries him. i mean, hell, think back to season 1, with jackson feeling threatened when scott suddenly becomes way better at lacrosse than he is. remember this quote?

“Do you know what it's like to be the best player on the team? To be the star? To have every single person at the game chanting your name? And then... some kid... some kid just comes along, and then everyone starts looking at him instead of you. Do you know what that feels like? [...] Well, it feels like something's been... it feels like something's been stolen from you. And then you start to feel like you'd do anything-- anything in the world-- to get it back.”

for deucalion, scott becoming a True Alpha would be a taunting reminder of everything he lost, the person he used to be, the person that was ripped from him along with both his literal and metaphorical vision. deucalion having been a True Alpha makes his obsession with scott - and specifically with corrupting scott - make a whoooole lot more sense.

TL;DR: Deucalion was a True Alpha before he corrupted by killing his own beta, and intentionally taking a life caused his werewolf form to turn dark and evil-looking. this is also what starts to happen to scott in season 4, but it never takes because scott doesn’t actually go through with killing the guy.

What IF do u recommend? 👀

ALRIGHT so since i keep falling on new if games and have a lot on my to read list I will make a second part of this list ozijfazorgj. But for now here are some of the IF games i highly recommend!

The Wayhaven Chronicles : First I'm starting with the obvious (that I've already recommended before i know shut up) Wayhaven Chronicles! After a strange murder in the usually tranquil town of Wayhaven, the newly appointed detective (aka the MC aka you) is gonna have to work with 4 beautiful vampires to "solve" this mystery. It currently has two books with a complete demo of the third book available. Honestly if you have followed my blog recently you saw me scream about this game cos I am obsessed and seriously i really recommend it, even if vampires aren't usually your thing.

Fallen Hero Rebirth : Oh boy, Fallen Hero, literally everything is in the title, and not at the same time. Basically you play as a former hero who's decided to become a villain for reasons i will absolutely not spoil bc it would be criminal. But know that this story is glorious, you can choose what kind of villain you would be (from an anarchist/anti hero type to a full blown heartless villain, everything is possible) and choose how your villain costume looks like. And of course you have different love interests all of them super interesting (tho i am very soft for Ortega, the Doctor and Argent but mostly the Doctor got me like 🥺🥺🥺 ). It currently has one book out with the second book demo almost all out called : "Fallen Hero Retribution".

Mindblind : Alright this, made me cry. Like actual tears came out of my eyes and i hate it ezokrafoprkg. In a world where the majority of people either have telepathy and other mental superpowers OR at least enough mind defense to not be too affected by those mental superpowers, your MC is the only "Zero" who's mind is basically an open book and a possible puppet for anyone with mental superpowers. Sucks even more when the MC family are basically renowned superheroes. For now only the demo is out and honestly i can't wait for the full book because this story has me hooked!

Speaker : Once again, a supernatural story because i can never get tired of them okay??? This time you can play as "a Speaker". Born from a generation of Seers, you went to the world a few seconds after ur twin sister, which means she got the traumatising visions while you're the only one who can "understand" them somewhat. Or at least try to make sense of them. But of course everything becomes troublesome when visions get more frequent and violent. Great premise, Lovable LI's (looking at Az, Rory and Kana 👀👀) what more could you want?

When It Hungers (formerly Smoke and Velvet on dashingdon) : First just so you know, the game is currently on dashingdon as Smoke and Velvet but will be moved to Twine with the title as "When it hungers" (u can go see the author tumblr if u curious). Anyway, as a lover of horror stories i can't wait to see more of When It Hungers, even if i made the mistake of reading this at night the first time 😔. The coolest thing ? You can choose to make your MC in three different monster : Basilik, Hellhound or a Haunted Doll, and each of them have a different past based on that choice.

A Tale Of Crowns : Basically A Tale of Crowns is a story based on a fantasy world (inspired by the Middle Eastern) where the big ruler aka The Crown is sorta chosen by the gods and can only be recognised by their golden eyes. Except that usually future crowns are found years before a current crown's death, and your character has been running away their whole lifes. I honestly don't even know how to begin to tell you how much i love this story. The universe built around it is just so well done, the love interests are all interesting for different reasons and i feel transported every time i read it. Even now saying this feels like too little but as usual im not good with english, but yeah just trust me it really deserves more than one look.

The Hunt : Demon Eyes : Just like When It Hungers, this IF is still on dashingdon but will be moved to Twine just so you know opzeakfaz. Anyway the premise is basically you play as a hunter, as in a hunter of supernaturals, whether you think all supernaturals are bad or think there are good ones is up to you, though u know, most of the love interests are supernaturals pzokfga. BUT! One day u end up possessed by a demon you were hunting and only break free TWO YEARS later! So u gonna have to try and find out what the hell happened all this time. There's not much out yet but im already really intrigued by the premise!

Bloodmoon : Who doesn't love a good story about werewolves? If you don't then im sorry you have such a lack of taste 😔. A story which updates every full moon (literally) about a clan of werewolves who just moved into a city, and unfortunatly it doesn't go as well as it could. Honestly between all the unique RO's (Vicky is my personal favorite even if Carrie and Shawnie also got me heart), the twist on the relationship between the wolves and the moon, and the whole story and dynamics between all the characters, Bloodmoon is a delight to read. And yeah i definitely re-read it way too many times oiajgfaoiej.

The Exile : Are you tired of fantasy stories? Well too bad here's one more because i love them!! And boooy this one got me obssesed. Playing as a former commander who was once admired by the kingdom they had vow to protect, they are now a fallen hero due to a tragedy that they cannot even remember. Between new encounters and former allies, trouble just keep finding them no matter what. Sorry for the bad summary but honestly the demo of this story got me so hooked!!! And you can basically choose what kind of "semi magic creature" your mc is! (werewofl, phoenix, etc). Seriously give it a go you won't regret it

fic: like i’m gonna lose you (1/1)

Pairing: Argent/Melissa (Teen Wolf)

Rating: PG-ish

Disclaimer: I don’t own Teen Wolf or “Like I’m Gonna Lose You.” I wish I did.

Author’s Note: So I’m entirely late to the party but I just binge-watched all of Teen Wolf for the first time this month and was immediately obsessed with these two. They’re so perfect, awkward, and sweet together. And I love the fact that parents get to have love stories too! 

That said, there were gaps that needed to be filled in (hello, 6x13 and 6x16) with this pairing. This takes place post-6x16 because we know Argent visited Melissa in the hospital. Right??? (Also: It’s been years since I’ve written fic and the first time I’ve written these two so hope you all enjoy.)

The house is too quiet now. 

Chris listens intently for noise beyond the front windows but Monroe — or whoever she sent to attack the McCall house — is long gone. So he turns his attention to the woman whose shoulders he’s gripping tightly. Her body is limp and she’s not speaking, and this is when Chris begins to worry. It’s a slow icy concern that flows from the top of his head to his toes.

“Mom? Mom?”

Scott’s eyes are darting wildly between his mother’s figure and the pool of blood Chris now sees seeping from beneath her. 

“We need to get her to a hospital. Now.” It’s Malia who is compartmentalizing, rising to her feet and shaking the glass from her hair, her jacket. Her eyes scan the room quickly and she assesses the damage. “Scott, your dad is down. Lydia? Mason?”

Scott is still looking between his mother and the blood. Chris moves one of his hands, still gripping her shoulders, to the side of her neck. A pulse. She has a pulse. “She’s breathing,” he says, but can’t seem to move her or himself. He’s never understood why people often say they’re frozen with fear until now.

But Malia, thank God for Malia, drags Scott to his feet. “Help me,” she instructs, and the two assess Lydia and Mason’s injuries. They’re hurt but not as gravely as Rafael and Melissa. Somewhere in the last few seconds, Malia has managed to dial 911 and informs the room that ambulances are on their way. “ETA is three minutes,” she says.

As Scott moves toward his father, Malia moves toward Chris. She kneels down beside him and gently grabs his shoulders to sit him up. He’s still gripping Melissa. And this is when Malia steps in front of him over the pool of blood — Melissa’s blood, Chris thinks — kneels down, and puts her hands gently over his. Malia looks Chris in the eye with equal parts concern and sternness. “Paramedics are going to be here soon for her.” She exhales slowly. “I’m going to ride in the ambulance that takes Lydia and Mason. But you need to be with Scott. Please.”

Malia’s eyes are pleading with him in a way Chris hasn’t seen before. Ah, of course. She is in love with Scott. She will do anything for Scott. Chris nods wordlessly and, Malia opens her mouth to say something but then closes it as flashing lights and sirens approach the house. 

***

Scott is pacing outside as first responders load his family and friends into ambulances. Chris, meanwhile, is standing next to Melissa’s gurney watching a young paramedic slide an oxygen mask over Melissa’s face. Her breathing is shallow but she’s breathing. And she’s stretching out her fingers right now, shakily, toward Chris. He steps closer, takes her hand in his. Her fingers are darkened from dried blood but he brings her hand to his lips anyway, kisses her knuckles and fingertips gently. Her eyes are barely opened but she smiles, just faintly. 

“We’re gonna move her now,” the paramedic informs Chris, unlocking the gurney wheels. Chris nods but doesn’t let go of Melissa’s hand until they have to load her into the ambulance with Rafael. Malia says something to Scott, kisses his cheek quickly, and then trots toward the ambulance with Lydia and Mason in it.

Scott looks at Chris, dark eyes threatening to spill over with tears at any moment. Wordlessly, Chris ushers Scott into the ambulance, toward his mother. Scott grasps one of Melissa’s hands in both of his, closes his eyes and he can see what he’s doing right then ��� he’s taking her pain.

Chris steps into the ambulance, doors shutting behind him, and sits beside Scott. He puts his arm around the young man, whose head bends forward toward his mother. And he hears him whisper: “Please, I need you. I need you.”

Chris takes a long, shuddering breath and forces himself to look at the roof of the ambulance so he doesn’t cry. He keeps his arm around Scott almost the entire way to the hospital and Scott keeps his eyes on his mom. But there’s a moment where he looks at Chris and says: “You need her too. Don’t you?”

Chris’ blue eyes must be glassy because Scott nods as if Chris had actually responded. For the first time in what seems like hours, Chris speaks softly: “She’s going to be okay. She’s a fighter.”

Scott actually smiles slightly at that. “Yeah. She is.”

***

Lydia grips Malia’s hand and squeezes once before the redhead is ushered away into surgery. Mason’s gurney travels by after. Then Rafael’s. Malia hugs her arms around her midsection and sidesteps the hospital staff who are wheeling Melissa past her. Scott follows that gurney past where civilians are actually allowed, and no one objects.

Chris is left standing in the middle of the hallway, awkwardly, so Malia grabs his arm and steers him toward the general waiting area. She practically pushes him into a chair and sits beside him. “You wanna talk about it?”

Chris leans forward, elbows propped up on his knees. He’s a little bit grateful for Malia’s bluntness, her honesty, and her ability to spring into action. So he answers her honestly: “This is my fault. I should have protected her.”

Malia frowns, confused. “You did,” she insists. “You shielded her. I watched you practically throw yourself on top of her to get her out of the way.”

Shaking his head, Chris continues: “If I’d protected her, it would be me on that gurney. Not her.”

Malia stares at him, then off into the distance, then back again at him. She sniffs once, and Chris thinks she’s getting emotional. But Malia waits a minute before responding, her face and voice shifting to compassion. “I can smell it, you know.”

“Fear?” Chris asks, voice low and scratchy. “Guilt?” He scrubs a face over his beard and doesn’t expect what Malia gently says next.

“Love.”

***

Scott returns to the waiting room a few moments later. “She’s in surgery now,” he says, sinking into one of the arm chairs. Malia stares intently at him as he continues: “So it’ll be hours before there’s an update.” Scott glances at Chris: “Argent, you need to sleep. I’ll call you if anything changes. But there’s nothing we can do.”

“Okay,” Chris replies, his voice wavering slightly with emotion. “Call me.” He adds: “Please.”

Scott nods and rises from the chair, catching Chris by the elbow before wrapping his arms around the man. Chris hesitates for the briefest moment before gripping Scott back tightly. “She’s going to be okay,” Scott whispers, though it’s unclear to Chris whether he believes it or just needs to reiterate it to himself like a mantra.

Still, Chris looks Scott in the eyes, cups the side of his face and says: “She will be.”

Malia rubs Chris’ arm in farewell before sitting next to Scott and reaching for his hands. And as Chris exits the hospital, he exhales for what feels like the first time all night.

***

Chris doesn’t want to go back to his apartment or the bunker, so he returns to the McCall house. Windows are shattered, and as he steps through the back door, Chris surveys the damage. His stomach churns slightly at the blood on the floor — he’s used to gore in his line of work. But knowing whose blood it is? He shakes his head and clears his throat even though he’s the only one in the house. The ground is littered with glass, shattered to the point that the floor looks like it’s covered in ice.

He thought about the last time he’d been here before tonight.

“You don’t have to go,” Melissa said softly, hand trailing from his bicep to his elbow. Argent’s face was still so close to hers. She took a breath before turning on her heels back into the house, looking over her shoulder once. Melissa placed her weapon on the kitchen counter, sure that fiddling with it wasn’t the best idea. Her stomach was churning with nerves, so she braced herself on the kitchen counter and closed her eyes for a moment. Was she… seducing him? Oh God. She was.

“Are you sure?” 

He was standing in the doorway of the house, this hilariously gruff man looking incredibly uncertain at what he’d just been told. Despite her nervousness, a smile played on Melissa’s lips, and she asked: “Do you want to stay?”

Argent actually smiled at her, then, like he had a few moments prior when they both admitted they’d wanted to call each other. You know. Like teenagers. It was a smile that launched swooping butterflies in the pit of her stomach because no, Melissa was not too old to get them. 

He unconsciously licked his lips and countered: “Should we keep answering each other’s questions with more questions?”

He didn’t move any closer, and Melissa stayed where she was too. She tilted her head, surveying him. “Hmm. Might get old pretty quickly.” Argent looked down at his feet, squarely on the threshold, and Melissa had to laugh then.

Argent looked up with a mix of bemusement and nervousness. “What?”

“I was just thinking that the teenagers we’re surrounded by every day have a better grasp on how to handle awkward situations than we do.”

Argent hummed, smiling. “True.”

“So what do you want?” Melissa asked. When Argent looked taken aback, she clarified: “Sorry, that came out harshly. I mean… now. Here. At this moment. Right now.” She squeezed her eyes shut for a second then held her hands up in front of her like a defense. “I don’t know half of what you’ve been through.” 

At this, Argent’s bright blue eyes visibly softened. Melissa wanted to take a step toward him but thought better and continued: “I just… I feel like I ambushed you in the train station. Maybe that wasn’t what you needed. Or maybe it was exactly what you needed. I don’t know, because we never talked about it. But it was what I needed.”

“It was?” Argent asked.

Melissa raised her eyebrows daringly. “Uh, yeah. It’s been… a while. And I don’t know if you’re aware of this, but you’re a very good kisser.” Argent smiled again, broadly this time. Melissa took a breath and willed herself to keep her feet planted on the floor and not throw herself (again) at the very attractive man standing in front of her. “But it was more than just you being incredibly hot in the moment.” (Here, Argent smiled again.) “And it was more than just a hell of a kiss. For me, at least. It was… feeling connected to someone again. It’s been a long time since I’ve felt the kind of connection I feel… with… you.”

Oh God, she was stumbling and maybe this was going horribly wrong.

Argent responded in a low voice and oh, it was seriously taking everything in Melissa right now not to just jump him: “I feel the same way. I just… didn’t expect this. It’s surprising. You’re surprising.”

She smirked at that. His eyes searched hers as he continued. “I’m not… good. At this. It’s been a long time. Since…” Argent trailed off and Melissa knew he wouldn't say his dead wife’s name in her presence.

Melissa took a deep breath. “I don’t fully understand what you’ve been through. I never will. But…” She wished they were standing closer so that she could hold onto his arms, squeeze his hands, and reassure him with her touch. But maybe that would make things worse. So instead she met his gaze with vulnerability and sincerity. “I want to… try. For the first time in a long time, I want to try with someone. And not just someone.”

Argent inhaled and nodded. “Me too.” Melissa’s biting her lip nervously when he replies: “I want that too. With you.”

And then she smiled, and it was in relief and also in anticipation, because she wants to figure things out with this man. And she hasn’t wanted to figure out the hard stuff and the good stuff with someone in a while. She drew boundaries to protect herself. After her divorce, she’s tiptoed around romance. Always protecting herself and Scott. Always being cautious. But in the last few weeks, it’s become clear — she can protect herself, but Argent would also do anything to protect her. His loyalty to her is unwavering. It’s a truth that Melissa holds onto, tucks away into the corner of her heart she didn’t expect to open again.

She smiled coyly as she wiggled her hands in front of her, a teasing gesture. “You know, I made the first move. So you’re going to have to come to me this time.” 

Argent pretended to contemplate this for a second, then covered the distance between them in a few strides, took her hands in his and kissed each one. Melissa could have melted at this gun-toting man whose feathery kisses on her hands feel like the most romantic thing in the world. He cradled her face with his hands then, and kissed her deeply. Melissa made a contented noise as he teased her bottom lip with his tongue. In the back of her mind, somewhere, she tried to remember where Scott was and prayed he wouldn’t be returning home to the sight of her and Argent fully making out in the kitchen. Poor kid. After all the supernatural stuff, that would be the thing to drive him to therapy.

It was as intense as the train station, with his hands sliding down her back and her fingers tangled in his hair, tugging him closer. She chuckled at the low noise of approval in the back of his throat. But there was something else there, too. Not just passion but… hope. Contentedness. They broke apart after a few more minutes, lightly kissing each others’ noses and cheeks. 

When Melissa threaded her fingers through Argent’s and led him up the stairs, he hesitated momentarily outside of her room before she clarified: “Oh, no, not that yet.” She looked mildly embarrassed. “Can we actually just… sleep? I’m exhausted. Turns out being around a monster with no DNA that amplifies fear really takes it out of you.” She squeezed his hand once and gestured toward the gun on his holster. “Plus I feel like we’ve established your protection gives more… What was the word? Kick? I think having a knight in… a leather jacket close by is a good idea.”

He laughed, low and rumbly and Melissa thinks she could listen to that for the rest of her life. “You make valid points, Melissa.” 

In her room, Melissa shrugged out of her cardigan and didn't bother to change out of her scrubs. Argent watched as she took off her watch, folded down the covers, and fluffed her pillows. She gestured toward her closet as if she knew what he was about to ask, and he hung up his jacket and removed his boots and holster.

Argent watched her settle under the covers, her mass of dark curly hair splayed out on the pillow. She looked at him with that soft Melissa McCall trademark smile, patted the other side of the bed, and yawned. Argent’s lips twitched into an affectionate smile and he climbed into the bed beside her. They turned, faced each other and Melissa brought a hand up to stroke his face, his beard. Her eyes were so warm, no judgment or confusion. Just… 

He was holding his breath and didn’t even realize it. The gesture was so tender and soft, and it’d been too long since a woman’s touch felt that gentle and comforting. He trailed his hand from Melissa’s shoulder down the side of her body. She shivered slightly, but then his fingertips found her hip, and he rubbed slow, rhythmic circles there until she fell asleep.

***

Scott has a plan to get Chris around the whole “no visitors except immediate family” hospital policy. He tells him as much when he calls. “She’s out of surgery, and she’s recovering. She’s going to be okay.”

Chris leans against the wall of the McCall kitchen, steadies himself, and rubs a hand through his hair. “Thank God.”

“I know she’ll want to see you,” Scott says slowly and carefully. There’s a lightness in his voice again, even though he’s still clearly emotional. “And they won’t let you because it’s family only, but I have an idea. Have you met Corey?”

Chris thinks he’d seen it all until he meets Corey in the waiting room of Beacon Hills Memorial Hospital, who then explains that he’s a chameleon. Who apparently becomes invisible. The young man’s energy is a bit frantic since Mason was also shot. Malia puts a hand on Corey’s shoulder, and Scott puts one on his other. They tell him to take a deep breath, that Mason is fine, and that he’ll see him soon.

“But first, I need you to do me a favor,” Scott says, looking at Chris. “Can you take him to my mom’s room?”

Corey smiles at Chris tentatively and nods. “Sure. Of course. Anything I can do.”

Scott returns Corey’s smile and holds up a finger, gesturing that he needs a moment alone with Chris before they depart. Scott steers the man to the side and pauses before he speaks, contemplating his words carefully. “You… and my mom…” he starts. If this were any other circumstance, he and Chris would trade some sort of snark or laughter or joke. Instead, Scott’s frowning in contemplation. “I don’t know why, but I never expected this. I should have, given how much time you guys have spent together lately but…” he trails off, lost in thought. 

Chris waits for a moment before Scott locks eyes with the former hunter and gently grabs his arm. “I feel it whenever I’m in the same room as you guys these days. I feel something different and until tonight I didn’t really know what it was.” Scott opens and closes his mouth before slightly chuckling: “I can’t believe I didn’t get it sooner. How much you two care about each other. How afraid you are to lose each other. I… I haven’t felt that kind of raw emotion since…”

Chris takes a breath and holds onto Scott’s arm. His blue eyes are gentle and his voice is barely above a whisper. “I know.”

Scott’s own eyes are swimming with tears and he swallows, nods resolutely. “You’re good, Argent.” Scott pauses and corrects himself: “Chris. You’re good — for her, for all of us. And you shouldn’t ever doubt that.”

Chris is too proud to let himself cry in front of Scott, so he does the next best thing and nods furiously before enveloping him in a hug. He sees Malia watching with a smile and Corey awkwardly awaiting his instructions. Chris claps Scott on the back a few times before breaking the hug.

“Go see her,” Scott says, ushering Corey over. The young man grabs Chris’ hand and the two vanish.

***

Melissa is covered in tubes and wires. Corey lets go of Chris’ hand once they’re inside the room, but he doesn’t leave until Chris says: “Go see Mason.” Then the young man nods and vanishes into thin air.

Chris pulls a chair close to Melissa’s bed and just watches her for a moment. She’s really pale and it scares him to see her alive but so drained of life. She stirs and her eyes open slowly. “Hey you,” she rasps out. “You’re here.”

Chris takes one of her hands in his, carefully avoiding the tubes. “I’m here.” He tilts his head to study her. “And I’m sorry.”

“For what?” Melissa asks. But as Chris rubs his thumb over her hand, realization dawns on her and she says: “No, you’re not blaming yourself for this.”

Even while sedated and recovering from major surgery, Melissa is still stern. Chris, meanwhile, responds: “I can’t help it.” He pauses, then says: “I hate seeing you like this. I can’t do anything.”

The brunette woman exhales steadily. “Come here,” she insists. Chris looks confused but she clarifies by using her free hand to pat the bed. “Come here,” she reiterates.

Chris eyes the bed which is narrow and covered in tubes and hesitates. “I don’t think…”

Melissa glares at him and quips: “You’re going to deny the request of a woman who just got shot?”

That remark hits Chris squarely in the chest for two reasons: the gravity of the situation and how damn endearing she could still be while in pain. “Never,” he assures her before rising from his chair and assessing the best way to proceed. He shrugs off his jacket and drapes it over the chair. He kicks off his boots and removes his holster, feeling a sense of déjà vu as he does.

Melissa looks up at him with a weary smile and he gently maneuvers his tall frame into the bed, delicately ducking under tubes and wires, careful not to jostle Melissa. It’s a tight squeeze and impossible to be comfortable. But he doesn’t care and, more importantly, neither does she.

She’s on her back, breathing through the nasal cannula. And he’s on his side, facing her. He’s afraid to touch her, afraid to hurt her, afraid that he’ll unplug one of the many things she has in her body right now. She can sense he’s overthinking because she finds his hands with one of hers. That relaxes him. And her. He’s facing her shoulder so he kisses her hospital gown lightly, keeps his nose there, closes his eyes, and breathes in.

“It’s not your fault,” she whispers. She inhales deeply. “It’s not your fault, and if I have to tell you that every single day for the rest of our lives, I will. I’ll do it. It’ll get really annoying for you, but I’ll do it.”

Chris closes his eyes, nuzzles his face into her shoulder before responding: “That won’t be necessary.”

“Good. Good.” She’s struggling to keep her eyes open, she says: “I’m glad you were with me. And I’m glad you’re here.”

Chris watches Melissa’s eyes flutter and close, and he finally rests.

Self-Recs lol.

Thanks for the tag @kaistrex! Ooh, I’m so excited to be doing this 💕 Choosing my top 5 fics that I’ve written + why is gonna be a challenge, but I’m sure I’ll enjoy 😊

1. All in Due Time | Gen | 4.6k

Derek realises he's in love with his little sister's best friend. What will he do?

Cue drama and pining! Though the drama is more on Malia, rather because of Malia, cuz damn can she get around!

I adore this fic of mine! Probably because it’s my first fic that I’ve ever written for the Sterek fandom and my first fic that I’ve published. It’s not my best work, but hey, everyone has to start somewhere!! And I actually honestly think my debut was okay. My writing style has definitely improved since then (I hope!) and I like, want to re-write this, :P But nah, it’s good as is. 

2.   It's a Katana | M | 8.3k

“The message says we all have to be there. The message, which is, you know, written in  blood .” His voice cracked at the last word, heart stuttering in despair and guilt. “In his blood...” he whispered, so low that no one would have heard him if not for the absolute silence in his loft. There were so many people here, Scott, Allison, Kira, Isaac, Lydia, Ethan, Aiden, Argent, Sheriff, Melissa, Noshiko. And yet, Derek felt an absence, a searing pain in his being, his wolf restless at not being able to spot that one face, the smile that repressed so much, trauma, nightmares, every bad thing... the eyes that shone so bright, so full of life that whenever Derek dared to look into them, he felt like everything was fine, everything would be fine. The scent of mild anxiety and adderall and sun so bright Derek feared he’d never feel alive again until he was in Stiles’ presence.

This is one of my long one-shots! This is also where I actually wrote about void!Stiles and explored a BAMF!Kira, and I love how it turned out. I have also written this in past tense, which I used to do before, (like until a while back), which is weird to read now, at least in my own works. Also, this is probably my most ensemble cast fic (I have the memory of a goldfish, I don’t even remember half the things I should, let alone all the fics I’ve written about xD) which is a big thing, ‘cuz like, handling so many characters at once is pretty hard. Kudos to all those who can, seriously, you guys are awesome.

The cashier—a guy about Cora's age with the cutest moles constellation ever and the eyes, they're like molten lava and Derek, for some reason, wants to swim in them—is busy reading a book, biting his lip as something obviously distressing happens to the characters.

Derek clears his throat. The Cashier doesn't look up. Curious, Derek leans forward, and he breaks into a smile as he sees the title of the book clutched tightly in the cashier's hands. He would see the tag, but unfortunately the cashier's name tag is hidden behind the copy of The Clockwork Angel.

This is probably my fluffiest work. Probably, I don’t know. But what I do know is, I love this fic. It has Sterek, Alive Hale Family and references to my favorite book series, like ever.

“But I killed them,” Derek whispers; he doesn’t think he could speak any louder. “I killed your family. You should hate me—”

“They died by the hands of destiny, not yours,” Mieczyslaw shouts, and Derek shivers in his arms. He lowers his voice. “Sorry. But you have to know.  I can’t let you blame yourself for something you never did, and I’m- I am sorry for ever blaming you in the first place.”

Prophet!Stiles and King!Derek, written for Full Moon Ficlet #445: Prophet.

Okay, yeah, so the summary isn’t all that good, but I feel like the story is pretty good. There’s some questionable “how did this happen?” stuff, but in the end I like the scenes :P

There’s flashbacks to Talia telling kid!Derek about the legend of Stiles’ people, a legend which I created, and I love Derek looking up to his mother like that, just enjoying some family time before tragedy (as it inevitably does) strikes. I also love how... purple prose-y this came out? I think that’s the term. Personally, I love the imagery, that was the most fun part to write in this. 

5.  Love Will Remember | T | 4.6k

The Wild Hunt takes Stiles.

Derek is the first one to remember who exactly is missing.

Because Love will remember.

Okay, firstly, I want to say that I keep mixing up “The Wild Hunt” and “The Ghost Riders” or whatever it is called because I am obsessed with all things supernatural and nobody ever thinks how confusing it is to have similar terms and because I am an idiot. So, don’t come at me for that lol. 

This fic is making the cut solely because of the title :P I seriously love the vibes Selena’s song has, and I wanted to capture it but that didn’t happen... instead, this fic came to be, with my own take on S5. Also, I love how I wrote the ending, it’s pretty funny and happy. It also has it’s moment of angst, but overall, it’s a happy, good-feel fic, and I adore that. 

This was honestly so fun to do. It’s really amazing to know I’ve so many fics actually do like lmao.

Teen wolf characters in front of the Mirror of Erised

Disclaimer: it's not canon, so you don't have to take it seriously, it was requested, and me & @sueistired had fun creating it (thank you for doing it with me ♥!!!) I hope you liked it.

English isn’t my first language so I’m sorry if there are mistakes.

"The Mirror of Erised is an ancient, ornate mirror. It has clawed feet and a gold frame inscribed with the phrase " Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi." The mirror shows the most desperate desire of a person's heart, a vision that has been known to drive men mad."

Scott - considering how he loved Allison, his desire was to see her alive and happy, even if she wouldn't be with him again. He saw her belonging to his pack, as well as others who sacrificed themselves. He cared about everyone, bonded with them, wanted to give everything to have them back.

Stiles - the mirror has shown him his mother, alive, happy, and fine - in good health. They were a normal family, without her illness, without the problems that they had. Everything was pretty as a picture.

Allison - the deal between the supernatural creatures and Argents' had existed for too long. Her dream was to see them not killing each other, achieving a truce. She also saw her mother and aunt as women who were listening to her, wanted to protect werewolves, hunting wasn't their priority anymore.

Theo - we know he had done some crappy things, but this boy changed and all he wished for was to be included in Scott's pack, where everyone would be able to trust him.

Isaac - maybe things would've turned out differently if his dad wasn't that aggressive, but he doesn't care. His dream was to have the dad he remembered from the past when he was a kid. The kind of dad that would protect him, not yell at him, and wasn't that obsessive with grades.

Derek -so we all remember that episode that showed his backstory with Paige, and his desire would be to still have her by his side. It was his first love, and he would do anything for her. So he saw her standing next to him, supporting him in every possible way.

Malia - The night that the accident happened still haunts her, her biggest dream was to see her family alive. She wishes they were still by her side, helping her through her teenage years.

Lydia - though her banshee powers have helped her and the pack a lot, she wishes she would control herself more or didn't have the power at all. It's sad, but the fact that she had to suffer living in the Eichen House and spotting all the dead bodies haunted her for many years, and she desired to experience a peaceful life.
