Last issue marks the end of the first chapter! Wow, it’s been a wild ride already, I feel like I learn a lot with each new issue. I’d like to thank everyone so much for reading! It’s my first time doing a project like this and the support means a lot to me.

I’m going on a short break between chapters, but will be posting some fun stuff in the meantime. If you want to stay in the loop, I highly recommend joining the Pip Jackal Official Discord Server if you haven’t already.

Invitations by replicatortrash for ghostbunny M!Handers | Explicit |

Summary: Garrett Hawke has been trying to open his home to Anders for weeks and it's been slow going. Is he keeping distance because of something from his past, or because Garrett is a vampire... or is there something else going on Garrett hasn't considered?

Mélange by dismalzelenka for Sulkyvalkyrie F!Handers | Explicit |

Summary: “I want Justice involved.” It was a marvel, Anders thought, how four words flipped his entire world on its head. “You what?” Hawke tilted her head, catlike curiosity peppered across her face. “Justice,” she repeated. “I want him involved.” In which Hawke confesses some secrets, and Anders and Justice both learn there is far more to Hawke than meets the eye.

The Short Straw by autumninfall for DemonicPersephone F!Handers | Mature |

Summary: A quick way to earn some coin while fleeing the Templars of Kirkwall. A dragon up in the mountains. Surely nothing will go wrong, right?

at the end of the world by PhantomsLost for barbex F!Handers | Teen |

Summary: “Hawke, no.” She shook her head and took a step back, both hands still gripping her staff tight. “You and I both know we don’t have a better option.” Tipping her head slightly in the direction of the looming Nightmare, she added, “Go. I’ve got this.”

Broken, yet Remade by Actually_An_Insane_Fangirl for PhantomsLost F!Handers | Teen |

Summary: Hawke may be broken, but that doesn't mean she cannot be remade with the gentle hands of a healer.

Lunacy by Sulkyvalkyrie for GhostGarrison M!Handers | Explicit |

Summary: Hawke wanted to wait another night, but Anders can't stop worrying about him...

Looking the Part by acesdesire M!Handers | Teen |

Summary: While visiting Chateau Haine, Hawke finds himself enjoying the party more than expected, especially with Anders looking so dashing in his formal wear. Infiltration can wait (even if Tallis might have other plans). He would much rather indulge in this rare and beautiful moment.

Some Guys Have All the Luck by barbex for dismalzelenka M!Handers | Explicit |

Summary: Watching Anders fight, powerful, controlled, turns Hawke on like nothing else. That's a man he wants to get on his knees for. And more.

Hunting by DemonicPersephone for Actually_An_Insane_Fangirl F!Handers | Explicit |

Summary: Nothing like a near death experience to make romance bloom <3

Chasing the Light by leonidskies for SalsedinePicta M!Handers | Teen |

Summary: Anders is having a bad day. Hawke, forever down bad, refuses to let it go.

Hurt Less by ghostbunny for PorlPoint M!Handers | Mature |

Summary: After coming close to killing the mage girl, Ella, Anders is in a bad way, consumed by guilt and shame and beginning to spiral. Hawke attempts to help him through it, while dealing with some of his own insecurities.

The One That Didn't Get Away by FactoryKat for winebearcat M!Handers | G |

Summary: Of all the things that could have happened to newcomer Garrett Hawke after moving to Kirkwall, picking up a date outside of a walk-in clinic wasn't exactly on his predictions list.

Healing the Healer by PorlPoint M!Handers | Teen |

Summary: Anders is seriously injured and out of mana, with only Hawke there to heal him before it's too late.

Rose Cottage by winebearcat for leonidskies M!Handers | Mature |

Summary: Anders reaches his 50th Name Day. He never expected to make it past 30, let alone have his happy ending.

If I had a nickel for every Newsie in West Side Story, I'd have eight nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that its happened eight times now.

You're forgetting that both Scott and Stiles, because he plays a very big role in the killing stigma too, especially for Malia, already think of her as a killer. When she finds the body the dread doctors killed first, they don't believe her. She tries saying it wasn't her, that there were people with masks, and the both of them just purse their lips and look away from her. Granted, it doesn't help that every other scene she's in, her first instinct is to kill, but it does reveal why she behaves in that manner. Every time she sees a credible threat that more than likely is going to attempt to kill her and the people she cares about, and when she offers a surefire solution to make sure they don't, Scott is there to refuse her. What does Scott do to make her think any differently? He let Peter and Gerard roam free and they both became repeat villains, with Gerard even being a key figure in teaching potentially hundreds of people how to effectively kill werewolves.

Also, Scott knew where the Desert Wolf was heading long before he saw Malia and Braeden together. It doesn't take a genius to figure out what Malia will do when faced with her, given her solution to everything is the same. And that can be a flaw of her character! She's maybe too disinterested in living as a human and being merciful to her enemies in the name of forgiveness! but this isn't a criticism of Malia, it's a criticism of Scott.

As for Jiang and Tierney, they actually say that rather than being hunted, they choose to hunt the hunters. Aka, kill or be killed. They used public databases to track down people suspected or known of killing werewolves. Is it only right to kill someone when they have a gun actively pointed towards your face? Satomi tried reasoning with the hunters and ended up dying for it. You also say yourself that the show calls out Scott because war time is different, so why even bring this up at all? Hunting isn't exactly a morally neutral profession, their sole purpose is to kill supernatural beings. They don't believe in second chances, and a lot of them don't even have a code, especially in 6B.

I wouldn't call the Orphans murder as being framed as bad. Garrett died for all of 2 seconds and then everyone moved on. There was no remorse or hemming or hawing about wanting to give a known assassin a second chance. He hurt Liam, blackmailed Scott, challenged a berserker, and got his shit rocked. Not an ounce of grief or remorse was shown in the show. Garrett was also not under arrest, he was actively trying to break his girlfriend out and evade punishment. When Scott finds Violet, he looks shocked, but not particularly torn up about it. The narrative also never brings it up again. It's played for shock value and nothing more. So no, their murders were not framed as bad, just shocking, like all melodramatic murders in teen wolf. There is a difference.

The Mute was shown to be a 'murder is bad' moment, but only because Peter was the one to kill him. His death was not an inherent tragedy, no one mourned the mute or thought of what could've been, it was just used to show that Peter wasn't with the new pack ideology. Again, no sanctity of life argument, barely a hint of due process, and no one in the narrative gave a fuck that he was dead. There needs to be a little more than just 'damn' when a villain dies for me to believe the show actually wants to make a point of sparing even the 'evilest' of people.

So far we have 2 murders that were just ignored consequentially by the narrative, and 2 you admit were justified out of season 4.

I already acknowledged that Gerard killing Matt was an unjustified murder, however it's only unjustified so far as it's Gerard dealing with him and gaining control of the Kanima. Again, not a sanctity of life and 'finding a better way' thing, just a tool to further the plot for Gerard being the series villain, like Peter and the mute.

You bringing up Jennifer just proves my point further. It's not Scott who needs to kill her ultimately, it's Deucalion. So like I said, to justify Scott's morals, the writers insert more morally reprehensible characters to do the killing instead, keeping Scott's hands clean.

Because that's what I said from the *start*. Scott is hypocritical. He insists on sparing people who are actively threatening people's lives, people he cares about, on the basis that it would make them 'as bad' as 'the bad guys'. When that doesn't work because the 'bad guys' really want you dead, he is not the one who ultimately needs to make the kill. It's shoved onto someone else.

Scott didn't need to say he approved of killing Theo because he literally just stood there while he was begging for help, and then the scene fades to black once he's gone. Like, okay. Guess that was fine. No need to discuss that with Kira. What was that about finding better ways? And then in 6A when he comes back, not even the consideration of another chance despite Theo begging for one and then proving himself over and over. It was only Liam vouching for him pretty aggressively that Scott even began to back off, still with the threat of killing him again if he slips up! Again, someone who's done objectively less evil than other teen wolf villains who were spared/who scott refused to kill.

That conversation was also Scott expressing 1. his pack was getting a lot more violent and 2. expressing guilt for continually refusing to be the final blow and pushing more insecurity onto the pack, as well as danger. You're right, and I don't disagree with you. He does think it should be him. It just never is, funnily enough. That's what I've been saying. And not one season later, he tries to shirk the responsibility of being the final blow again, by trying to get peter and deucalion to do it. What happened?

Some musings about Scott's morality (probably not very common and a little controversial)

Scott McCall’s adherence to his no-kill rule can be seen as both a moral stance and a psychological defense mechanism, shaped by his own fears, insecurities, and desire to preserve his innocence. At its core, Scott’s refusal to kill, even when faced with situations that may arguably call for it, reflects a deeper internal struggle to maintain a clear sense of right and wrong. However, this rigid adherence to his ideals, especially when it leads to others suffering, reveals underlying contradictions in his character.

Scott's moral code is largely centered on protecting his own sense of innocence and moral purity. By clinging to the no-kill rule, he avoids the emotional burden of directly taking a life, even if it means allowing harm to befall others. Psychologically, this allows Scott to protect his self-image as a "good" person. His reluctance to engage in lethal violence can be seen as a defense against the guilt and moral ambiguity that would come with making more ruthless choices.

In the case of the Kanima, Scott's refusal to kill Jackson despite the clear threat he posed to others shows how his need to maintain his moral boundaries outweighs the immediate threat to those around him. His insistence on finding non-lethal solutions, while noble, reflects an almost selfish prioritization of his internal morality over the safety of others.

There’s also an aspect of moral superiority in Scott’s unwavering no-kill stance. He often positions himself as the moral compass of the group, but this also gives him a sense of control over situations. By dictating that no one should kill, Scott maintains his leadership position and moral authority. However, this control is built on a framework that isn’t always flexible or responsive to the nuanced, dangerous situations he faces. His rigid moral stance can put others at risk, as seen when lives are endangered by the Kanima’s rampage while Scott focuses on preserving Jackson’s life.

Scott's no-kill rule can be seen as a form of psychological conflict avoidance. Killing someone would force him to confront the darker aspects of his role as a supernatural leader and protector. By adhering strictly to his rule, Scott avoids the internal conflict that would come from crossing that line. In a way, Scott’s reluctance to kill is an avoidance mechanism that keeps him from fully engaging with the morally complex world he inhabits, allowing him to maintain a black-and-white view of morality.

While Scott views his refusal to kill as a form of self-sacrifice, it can often lead to the sacrifice of others instead. In situations like the Kanima case, where innocent lives are at stake, Scott’s refusal to make the hard choice arguably protects his own conscience more than it protects the people he’s responsible for. This can be seen as an attempt to shield himself from the psychological toll of killing, while others bear the physical consequences of his inaction. It’s a form of indirect selfishness—by preserving his own sense of moral integrity, he unintentionally places the burden of suffering on others.

Scott’s no-kill rule is a complex and flawed psychological mechanism. While it is rooted in a genuine desire to be morally upright, it often causes harm by preventing him from making hard but necessary choices. His strict adherence to this rule can be seen as a defense against guilt, moral ambiguity, and the loss of his own innocence, but it also exposes him as someone who prioritizes his internal morality over the safety and well-being of those he is meant to protect. In this way, Scott's idealism becomes a form of moral tunnel vision, where the desire to remain "good" leads to greater harm for those around him.
