𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐈𝐍𝐆… 𝐌𝐘 𝐓𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐖𝐎𝐋𝐅 𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐋 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐑, 𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐗 𝐖𝐀𝐍-𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐊𝐈

❝ When Alex had been a teenager, he had known only three things for certain: that even though his parents were dead, the Stilinskis, his father’s best friend and his wife who were raising him, would never go anywhere; that strawberry ice cream was far superior to chocolate and vanilla; and, perhaps most of all, that he was in love with his best friend, Derek Hale. Having moved to Beacon Hills, the small town where his godparents and now legal guardians lived, after his parents had died when he was only nine years old, Alex had very quickly made friends with Derek, who at the time they’d met had been the quiet kid always sitting in the back of their shared classroom. But under Alex’s friendship, Derek had bloomed a bit, becoming more outgoing and happy, and the two boys had spent many long hours running around and exploring the woods of Beacon Hills - and, eventually, shared their first kiss at the tender age of fourteen. By the time he’d turned fifteen, Alex had been more than convinced that things would remain as they were, with his loving adoptive parents and little brother and his cheerful, normal life, until eventually, perhaps, he and Derek could even have a proper romance and ride off into the sunset together.

But, of course, life almost never turns out the way the minds of hopeful young people wish it to, and it was only a year after that sweet, shy kiss in the forest’s midday shade that everything started to fall apart. First Derek’s family, who Alex had always loved even if they seemed to be a bit secretive, perished in a terrible house fire, with Derek leaving town not too long after without so much as a goodbye to the boy who had wanted to be with him forever. Then, not too long after, Claudia Stilinski, the woman who had been Alex’s mother since he was just a skinny eight-year-old finally succumbed to her dementia and passed away, leaving Alex grieving a parent all over again, as well as the loss of his best friend, all the while trying to take care of his younger brother as the sheriff took more and more night shifts, trying to escape the pain of losing his wife. In what seemed like an instant, all the certainties in Alex’s life had completely disappeared, and had it not been for the love of the sheriff and Stiles, whom he adored as a little brother whether they were related by blood or not, he might never have gotten through it.

But he had. Alex had gotten through that dark period, his whole little family had, and nowadays the three of them are perfectly content. Having finished high school but forgone higher education, Alex spends his days fixing up cars in Beacon Hills’ only auto repair shop, while still living at home to watch over Stiles when their father works late, and once again he finds himself content with things staying exactly how they are: working all day among the shop’s noise and sweat and grease, eating dinner and laughing around the table with his father and brother, and doing his best to keep Stiles and his sweet, dorky friend Scott out of the kind of trouble only Stiles could possibly get anyone into.

Except right as he starts to think this, everything in his life changes again - Derek comes back to Beacon Hills a completely different, more sullen person who doesn’t even seem to want to talk to Alex, and then he’s dragged into the craziness that is Scott suddenly being a werewolf, and then he learns that Derek is also a werewolf and that he and his family were all werewolves the entire time Alex knew them. None of this, as one could imagine, is exactly easy on Alex’s sanity or the complicated feelings he’s been having about Derek since the other man returned - except then Derek dies three times in the span of, like, a month, and it would make Alex kind of an asshole if he didn’t forgive him for leaving after that.

Once again, Alex’s life has been totally shaken up, and in a completely different, wolf-ier way than before, but he finds that, as he was back when he was a naïve little dreamer of a teenager, he is completely certain of three things:

He will do whatever it takes to protect his brother, Scott, and his dad. It is fully possible that he’s still in love with Derek Hale. And strawberry ice cream, throughout all the utter insanity that his life has become, is still the absolute goddamn best. ❞
