#and im going feral over the image of a tree dragon man

[languor-em]

Self care is giving all of you self ships Studio Ghibli aus because you're sick and deserve it.

More under the cut,,, I am cringe. But I am free 😔😔

So for more context than you need because like,, self love- Theo is my self insert. I've been doing this thing since I was way younger where my self insert would be a wholeass character and that character is Theo. And Theo's just me but like,,, more comfortable in their femininity and the way I wish I looked. Okay? Okay.

Anyway!!! Theo x Grimora!! They're in an overcomplicated Castle in the Sky au!! Theo's a subsistence farmer/herbalist who gets kidnapped by the government because of their connection to Laputa. Grimora is the captain of a dreaded crew of undead sky pirates. One thing leads to another, and Theo joins up with Grimora to try and beat out the bad guys to Laputa. Then they kiss ÚwÙ

(Grimora maybe also gets to be Howl and Theo Sophie as a treat but that's,,, that's showing too much bias ahajsgaj)

Korosensei x Theo get Mary and the Witch's Flower!! Theo moves into her great aunt's house in the countryside where she meets an orphaned boy who goes by the name of Koro. One thing leads to another and Theo discovers the Fly-by-Night and a magic college in the clouds. Koro is kidnapped by the faculty where they use the Fly-by-Night to experiment and change his form (Reaper to Octopus, except he STAYS octopus because I'm no COWARD) Theo helps rescue him, destroys a four year acredited magic university and they live happily ever after ÚwÙ

Theo x Leshy!!! This one was a toss up, but I wound up going with Princess Mononoke, but with a twist!! Theo is the wild woman living in the woods and attacking iron town with her wolf family, meanwhile Leshy has been cursed and is seeking a cure for the corruption that threatens to overtake him. The big difference is that Theo is INCREDIBLY curious about Leshy and opens up way faster than San does in the movie. They live together in the woods once all is said and done <3

And that's,,, all I have right now?? I'll add more as I think of them maybe but,, aaaaAAAHHH

OKAY WAIT BONUS LESHY CONCEPT FOR SPIRITED AWAY BECAIS ONCE AGAIN I AM SICK!! AND SELF LOVE BABEEYY!!

Leshy takes the role of Haku and Theo of Chihiro! Theo is moving in to her own place and her two older siblings are coming along to help. One thing leads to another and Theo is trapped working in the bathhouse and Leshy's doing his best to help and make sure this dumb bitch doesn't get herself killed. He's the spirit of an ancient forest that Theo got hopelessly lost in once when she was little, and he guided her out and back to her family. They stick together after the events of the film, Theo living in her Lil house at the edge of the woods and Leshy mantling the role of the local forest spirit

All The Movements Of The Stars by skoosiepants

(1/1 I 3,578 I Teen I Sterek I Stargate) (pst, also one of my favs.)

Stiles says, “Derek,” and his voice is hoarse, like he’s still unsure how to use his vocal chords even after all this time. They have no idea how long Stiles was stuck as an otter, let alone trapped in that cage. According to Dr. Martin, Stiles doesn’t even know.

Derek doesn’t say anything.

After a few minutes, Stiles sighs and gets up. There’s a rustle of clothing, and Derek grits his teeth against the image of Stiles wearing his things, and Derek doesn’t relax until he hears the door open and close.

That's What Matters by cathcer1984

(1/1 I 6,301 I Teen I Steter I Leap Year)

No one in Beacon Hills has heard from Stiles in the five years since Derek became an Alpha and broke Stiles' heart by dumping him. When an Irish Pack come through and mention him Derek is on the first plane to Dublin. Peter is sent to follow, only his travels go awry and he ends up finding love on his way to reunite Stiles and Derek.

Everyday Magic by skoosiepants

(1/1 I 6,379 I Teen I Sterek I Harry Potter)

At eleven years old, a murder of crows blanketed the yard outside Stiles’ window and no school owls came.

or -

Stiles is determined to live without magic, but magic always finds him, anyhow.

Take My Love by rosepetals42

(1/1 I 7,300 I Explicit I Sterek I Firefly)

In which Derek is the captain of an old Firefly ship and Stiles is a Companion who is a bit late on paying the rent for his shuttle... Of course, Derek doesn't care about the money. Hasn't for a long time. (Crew doesn't pay rent.) Not that he can tell Stiles that.

In the Lounge, With the Knife by andavs

(1/1 I 7,821 I Teen I Sterek I Clue)

Stiles knew that going to the old mansion in the hills was a bad idea the second he read the mysterious invitation that appeared under his door without a postmark.

He told himself it was a bad idea as he stopped the car at the end of the long, sloping driveway to stare up at the ominous house looming above him, illuminated only by lightning flashing in the dark night sky behind it.

He knew, without a doubt, that it had definitely been a bad idea to come as he stared down at the lifeless corpse of the man who’d been blackmailing him for a year, standing in a room with five other guests who were finally out from under Gerard Argent’s thumb.

And one of them had killed him.

The Cost of Living by orphanaccount

(1/1 I 14,102 I Explicit I Sterek I In Time)

Derek blinks, attention still anchored on where it had landed. He reaches out without thinking and brushes his hand over the green numbers set starkly against pale skin, pressing his index finger against the seconds ticking down, only vaguely aware of the other man sucking in a sharp breath.

0000•00•0•06•08•10

That can't be right.

"You...you have..." Derek glances up to see Stiles looking back at him with an unfathomable expression on his face. "You only have six hours left."

The other man jerks his hand away, a pained look flickering across his delicate features before he quickly averts his gaze. "Yeah, thanks for the reminder, asshole."

By Moon And Stars by kellifer_fic

(1/1 I 15,929 I Mature I Sterek I Game of Thrones)

"Have you heard of this Alpha?" Stiles asks, shuffling up his pallet so Scott has room to sit. Scott does with a grateful little twist of his mouth. Stefan forces him into the Stilinski ceremonial armor when they travel and Stiles can see that it's heavy and doesn't sit well on Scott. He can't shift encased in metal and Stefan knows it.

"I know of him, mostly stories that seem a little fantastical. Shifters exaggerate just like common people. They like their war stories."

"Tell me of him. Tell me a war story."

The Silent Fury by andavs, rosepetals42

(3/3 I 31,750 I Mature I Sterek I How To Train Your Dragon)

Derek is about to leave, content with the smell of blood as proof that the Fury is dead when he hears it.

A heartbeat.

It’s faint and uneven and even with its help, it takes Derek a full minute of scanning the clearing before he finally spots the small heap that must be the human. It’s down on the far side of the canyon, almost completely hidden by a tall oak tree and–Derek jumps down before he thinks about it.

He knows what he has to do. Furies are dangerous. Furies are fire and smoke and a funeral he barely remembers. He lands almost silently and makes sure his hands are fully shifted into claws and then slowly moves forward.

It's a mad, mad world by ElisAttack

(11/11 I 73,627 i Explicit I Sterek I Mad Max)

"They call him the Feral Wolf." The man laughs hysterically as Stiles backs away from him, fear coursing through his veins. "Feral Hale. Do you know why? Huh?" The man creeps closer, testing the restraint of his chains, white talcum falling from his skin, swirling in the air like the dust devils plaguing the wasteland. "Because he's fucking mad."

Or the one where Stiles is a prisoner looking to return home, but to do so, he may have to rely on a questionable drifter.
