#boyderica

[harlstiel]

Wanting to write a mini tw fic, not sure which one of my many drafted ideas to use.

[softranswolves]

They deserved better.

[alisonhales]

Do you tag your pairings in alphabetical order by first name?

Hi! In most cases, yes. With characters like Boyd, Parrish, Deaton being the exceptions (for example, Boyd dynamics I tag as boyderica, allisonboyd, etc.).

[hotgirlstiles]

this is quite possibly the most boyderica song to ever exist

[muchfic-manypair]

scira or berica? :3

This is just cruel, because I love Scott and Kira so much (they’re probably the only canon couple I’ve truly enjoyed watching) but Erica and Boyd, man...

WE COULD HAVE HAD IT ALL.

So, I guess, because I want to know what life would have been like for them had they lived, I’m gonna go with Berica.

Berica + 5

Things you never said at all***Boyd has never liked words. He doesn’t talk much, doesn’t feel the need to, but when he does, Erica knows that he really means it.Erica, on the other hand - Erica loves words. She loves the way she can make them work for her, loves the way they taste in her tongue when she convinces anyone of anything she likes. When Erica speaks, Boyd has learned to take it with a grain of salt. It’s rare that what she says is what she really means.“I love you,” he whispers into her hair one night, long after they’ve turned out the lights, when the moonlight streaming through the window is making her skin glow like a marble statue. He can hear her breath hitch, just slightly, and she knows that he can hear it, but even so, she says nothing. She closes her eyes tightly, forces her breathing to even out, slow down, as if she’s asleep, controls her racing heartbeat like Derek had taught them, and soon after she can hear Boyd’s do the same. She doesn’t know if he’s actually asleep, or just pretending like she is, but she stays still anyways, and finally she really does fall asleep.***“I love you,” he says again, whispered in her ear a few weeks later while they watch some dumb horror movie she doesn’t even remember the name of.She adjusts herself on the couch so that her head is pillowed on his chest instead of his shoulder and presses a gentle kiss to his collarbone, thinking, not for the first time, how much she really loves him too. She doesn’t say it though. She doesn’t know if she can yet.***“Erica,” he says, catching her wrist as she climbs into Stiles’ jeep one night to go fight a witch or a succubus or whatever it is they’re fighting this time. “I love you.”She smiles, the soft and sweet smile that she reserves just for him - nothing like the sharp, feral grin that she gives everyone else. She’s still not ready to say the words out loud, doesn’t know if she ever will be, but the fierce kiss she gives him before she closes the door behind her tells him everything he needs to know.

berica, "Can I tell you a secret?"

[ meme | ask ]

I wanted to do something else but this has been sitting in my ask way too long.

"Anything," she tells him, her fingers tangled in his.

"This is a dream," he says.

Erica frowns--it's more of a pout than anything else--and she clutches his hand a little tighter, and he knows it's just his subconscious but it hurts all the more. "That's stupid," she finally manages.

Boyd smiles at her. "Yeah, guess it is. How 'bout another one?"

Her smile is just as beautiful as he remembers. "Yes," she says. "Please." She's jiggling her foot and it makes her whole body shake.

"I always wanted to kiss you," he murmurs. Her expression softens, her eyes widen, and he leans in. Erica moves in at the same time and he hears her heartbeat quickening--

But then there is nothing.

He is alone.

Boyd/Erica ♥

She's waiting for him when the light takes him.

She's waiting with a smile and an apple in her hands, dressed like the first time he saw her after the changing. 

Boyd smiles at her, takes her in his arms and she laughs, asks him 'why did it take so long?' 

He sits with her under a big three, something real and unreal, pulsing with something that feels like magic.

He tells her about Derek, about Isaac, about Cora. 

She's happy to hear that Cora is safe, back to his brother. They both are. 

'And now?' Boyd asks.

Erica smiles, tells him that now they can go on, leave the past behind and start a new life, together, without any need to run away.

Boyd asks for an happy life, far from Beacon Hills, maybe in Canada, maybe in Europe. Erica wants to grow up together, learn each other's pet peeves, try new food and new experiences.

'There's so much we can do now,' Erica says, stretching her legs with a sluggish smile.

Boyd is happy.

Erica is happy.

Nothing else matters, now.

prince boyd has been stopping by to bring dragon erica teas and chocolates for nearly a year now, so she finds it a little surprising when he appears nervous (as nervous as he can appear) the next time he comes to visit, with a delicious smelling new tea blend kept in an extraordinarily ornate box. 'what type of tea is this?' erica asks as she sets the tea to steep. 'betrothal tea,' prince boyd says, 'if you wish it to be.' and erica does, she truly does wish it, and no tea has tasted better.

\o/

OMG

YES

When Erica wakes up in the woods with no memory of having left her bedroom, it's a sign of how freaking weird her life is getting that she's less surprised by the taste of stale blood on her teeth and more surprised to discover that she's still fully dressed.

Say what you want about Sterek or Scallison or whatever, everyone knows the only teen wolf ships that really matter are Boyd/Erica and Papa Stilinski/Mama McCall

“‘Cause they say home is where your heart is set in stone” - Home, by Gabrielle Aplin Boyd/Erica Because I miss them.

OH WOW EXCELLENT SONG CHOICE

so I was originally thinking this fic took place in a world where no one awesome dies, ever, and Erica and Boyd are piecing themselves back together after dealing with the Alpha Pack, push pull push pull, two steps forward and one step back, because Erica wants a boyfriend, not a crutch, and Boyd isn't always certain he's doesn't do stuff (sometimes stupid stuff, potentially rash stuff), because he doesn't see beyond the immediate benefit. Because they're both coming to terms with want being different than need, and that you shouldn't mix one up for the other, either way.

but now I'm thinking it's a future fic, where Erica escaped the Alphas or didn't get captured at all, where they split up when Allison was hunting them and Erica made it out. OR MAYBE JUST AN AU where Erica and Boyd had semi-bonded in high school over being nobodies, real nobodies, before graduating and going on their quiet little way, determined to leave high school and everything it held behind.

I've got a sudden and random vision of Erica at a florist/nursery, actually. It's a job she gets in college during her sophomore year when her gorgeous party girl reinvention starts to grate, just a little, starts to feel like a burden to keep up 24/7. This is fun, sometimes, dirt caked underneath her long chipping fingernails, the mulch that always gets in her hair no matter how carefully she braids it back.

"Fucking WOOD CHIPS --" Erica is in the middle of swearing when she walks into the front room. There's a  moment where she can't decide whether or not she wants to be embarrassed she was swearing, but then she realizes the guy is --

"Boyd! Um, hi."

"Erica," he says, and after a second he smiles. "Hi. How have you been?" It's not the reaction she usually gets when she runs into people from Beacon Hills; Stiles had nearly swallowed his tongue, and Lydia had raised a single eyebrow, grudgingly, which Erica had taken for a compliment. Then again, she thinks, she probably doesn't look so different right now. No makeup, terrible hair, ugly clothes.

"Hi," she says again, stupidly, because how in the hell did she forget the monster, massive crush she'd had on him, the way she'd finally forgotten all about Stiles?

aaaaaaaand then she helps him pick out a nice potted plant for his professor, because 'flowers would be weird, I think, but buying her cat a toy would be even weirder'*, and her natural sassiness comes back in full force by the time he leaves, snark and pleasantries exchanged. Aaaaand then he's back the next week, buying flowers for a sick friend, and she still looks like five miles of sweaty dirty road but it's not like Boyd hasn't seen her looking much, much worse, thanks camera phones. Aaaaand then the next week, with some explanation she didn't ENTIRELY pay attention to because wow, his biceps are straining that t-shirt, aren't they? and eventually her boss is like PLEASE PUT THE BOY OUT OF HIS MISERY, EITHER WAY and it dawns on Erica that Boyd likes her? Like. Wow. So she waits for him to come in again or possibly there's a little bit of facebook stalking (okay there was ALREADY facebook stalking, but now there's INTENT) and they date!

also I want Erica to show up to their date or hangout with his friends all vamped up, and Boyd is like "uhm" and Erica is like "oh shut up, I dress like this all time." "but I've never-" "not while I'm GARDENING" and it turns out she knows his friend Isaac from her writing seminar and oh my god, isn't Professor Deucalion the w o r s t? and a fun time is had with happy endings for all. basically I want a feel good romcom. that is what i want.

*true story, showing your appreciation for a professor/mentor can sometimes be weird

"Okay that didn't really pan out how we planned," Stilinski mutters, flipping to a flurry of scribbles on his legal pad. Boyd leans over, reads the title, and almost chokes. "Did you make a playbook of my not-dating life?"

And Although I Was Burning, You're The Only Light by Lapin

Boyd/Erica

PG13

Erica presses her hand to her belly, shirt rucked up to just under her bra, and she listens closely, as hard as she can, until she hears it, the steady drumming of a heart not her own, but in her body, sharing her breath and her blood. She listens close, and she cries.
