#hero Derek hale

[fairytalegumiho]

Stop saying Derek is a villain in Season 2.

He is not. Why would you say that? The actual antagonists in season 2 are Matt, Gerard and his lackeys, Kanima not Derek.

Just because he became a villain for trying to kill Lydia then Allison should also be a villain for trying to kill Derek and his whole pack.

Derek told Boyd, Erica, Isaac everything that they needed to know at that point. He gave them a new life. He only wanted to kill Lydia because he thought she was a kanima and he didn't want the normal people to die. But we don't even know for sure that he would kill her because he says that he would kill people but in return he only saves them/helps them almost dying in the process. So for all we know, he might capture Lydia and make sure to kill her only when she turns into a kanima in front of him.

Derek endured so much trauma. He has every reason to become a villain but he didn't, he became a hero. He didn't go on a killing spree and didn't opt for revenge. If Matt decided to kill all of those people just because they laughed then Derek can kill Scott too for saying "maybe they had a reason" but he didn't. He didn't even scold him for that. He just asked "for what?" and proceeded to explain the situation.

He saved Scott's life even though the wolfsbane is harmful to him too. That's not what a villain does. That's not what a shitty alpha does.

Scott didn't help make Derek a better person. Derek became his own person. If anything his betas, Isaac, Erica, mainly Boyd, helped him to turn into a good person. Not Scott.

Scott has every reason to hate Derek for not letting him have the cure but Derek does too. Derek is hanging from the chains in his own house basement where his entire family died because of his kidnapper who used his body and Scott straight up refused to help him. Who would want to help him get cured after that? Derek even tries to help him when Kate and Allison ambush them but Scott is intended to talk to Allison instead of making sure that him or Derek or both go somewhere safe. Derek is definitely not a villain here.

Derek is definitely not the best person especially in Season 1 and 2. So he recognised his mistakes and turned into a better person by having the best character development but he is definitely not a villain.

Tiny stiles who wants to be a super hero so he begs his mother to make him a cape - “it has to be red mom, all the superheroes have capes and red is my favorite colour.” - but he also says it needs a hood so he can hide his face from the bad guys.

And his mother makes it for him a red cape with a hood! And he wears it every chance he gets, it’s his favourite thing ever. He wears it into his journey into the woods and when he saved a random dog in the woods. He wears it to the grocery store where he bumps into a boy who calls him “little red riding hood” and every time after that, when he see stiles he calls him little red. Even after stiles stops wearing the cape. He complains to the dog in the woods, but for some odd reason it seems amused.

He pretends to hate it but after his mother dies, it becomes a constant that he can rely on. Until he can’t. So he forgets.

Well until the day he is holding Derek who’s been shot by a wolfbane bullet and Derek is delirious and saying random things.- “thanks little red” - he smiles at stiles before he pass out.

It's amazing that it doesn't matter that I've already read like 100 sterek fanfics, I still have an absurd hunger for more fanfics.

Stiles and Derek are definitely my weakness, I love them in every universe, in every variant of them and I love their super justified and well-developed love.

Thank you universe, God or whatever divine entity you believe in for giving us sterek fanfic writers who are the best creation after Stiles and Derek and their disgusting but precious love and sexual tension, amen.

[invisible-storyteller]

I love that Eli's teenage rebellion manifests in him intentionally turning into Stiles. First the flannel, then the lacrosse, then the sneaking out, and finally, the jeep. You just know he does all of this to piss Derek off.

[notyournightsky]

Note: I’m not saying that I hate all of these characters, but I do at least mildly dislike or find them annoying thanks to fandom. They were fine in the media they came from, but seeing how fandom interacts with them ruined these characters for me

It's that time again! First Friday Fic Night

For a refresher you can see what this is about here.

Voting at the bottom to choose next month's topic.

This month is family feels. Found family. The one you chose or who you chooses you. Sometimes on purpose but often unintentionally. As someone who had to cut ties with my family of origin (except my sister who is a gem), this theme is close to my heart.

I don't think that families (found or otherwise) are limited only to long-term, here-for-the-long-haul, relationships. Sometimes someone passes through your life for a brief period of time but manage to plant a home in your heart. It can happen when you need them for a season, or when they need you, and usually it hits you when you least expect it. So my definition of family feels may seem broad so the stories may not hit that spot for you. It's cool, they are all still really worth the read.

I had difficulty narrowing down my list so we may come back to family feels in the future. I also left Dadzawa out. That is a whole genre of its own. In this post we have Attack on Titan, My Hero Academia, Teen Wolf, and Snow White With the Red Hair. We kind of hit them all.

As always, mind the tags!

Attack on Titan

make this moment last forever, by aelandair

"Erwin accompanies Levi to an orphanage."

This one sits at the intersection of creating family and intense yearning. Maybe leans a little farther into the yearning. Oops.

My Hero Academia

Your sun in the night sky, by notified

"In which Bakugou Katsuki learns saving is not always about blowing stuff up, cracking down on villains' plans or, even making use of his quirk in any significant aspect. It can be gruelling, tedious and heartbreaking. And it's funny, because he never really set out to save the brat in the first place.

Or, Bakugou acquires a snarky orange child."

I cannot emphasize enough how much I love this fic. I actually don't know how many times I've read it at this point. This is Bakugou not just saving without blowing things up, but it is also him learning to care for others, understand what giving up a piece of yourself really means, and discovering family. Plus, domestic Bakugou is my religion.

I think this might have been the first BNHA fic that grabbed me. It is top 5 BNHA for me, and I have 268 BNHA fics read and bookmarked. I wish I was joking about that last part.

lullabies for ghosts in the mind, by jarynw02

"He’s well aware of how convenient it might be for Dabi to parade around as an innocent toddler for a while to throw off suspicion. How, if this were still Dabi’s mind, he’d be smart enough to lie and act and cover his trail until he can return to normal and inevitably escape.

But Katsuki can’t stop thinking about how bright his blue eyes are, how they swelled with tears in the alley at the mention of heroes-- the mention of his father, Endeavor, the most impactful hero in the child’s life. Even if this tiny human is Dabi biding his time, those tears were real. Those tears were real and coming from eyes so much like Katsuki’s husband’s eyes, shed for the same man that’d made Shouto cry too many times for Katsuki’s liking.

Or

Dabi turns into a toddler and Katsuki brings him home to Shouto."

I think this was originally going to be a longer fic, but it works really well as just a one shot. As I mentioned above, domestic Bakugou is my thing, and in this he is soft soft soft.

His Littlest Listener, by lilredpandacub

"Present Mic Loves all his jobs. But he especially loves his Friday and Tuesday night Session on his Radio Show where his most favourite caller is sure to ring up late at night just to speak and pose ever more interesting questions. Hizashi really just wants to give the sweet little baby a cuddle."

Baby Izuku being so smart and Presentation Michael is really feeling personally attacked by it.

Teen Wolf

Roots to Tether by, clotpolesonly

"Scott needs someone to look after Beacon Hills while he's away at college. Stiles needs someone to keep an eye on his dad. Liam needs a sparring partner, Mason needs a translator for his ancient books, Malia needs someone to run with.

And Derek? Well, Derek needs this."

Derek gains a family that he didn't know he was looking for and that he didn't know he needs. My biggest Teen Wolf ship is Derek/stability.

Snow White With the Red Hair

The Five Times Obi Knocked (and the one time he didn't), by happybubbles

"He always wondered what it would feel like to have a home. And she always wondered if she would find a place of her own ever again."

I always always want Obi know he has a home and highlighting how Obi uses their knocking on the wall to express that is just lovely.

Fugue in Three, by infinitelystrangemachine_old

"Ryuu, Shirayuki, and Obi have all taken different paths to end up where they are now. An admission on Ryuu's part helps tip the trio into their future."

This is such a beautiful piece. The three of them finding home in one another, settling into a life together and reaching out for the version of the future that they want. It feels like evert line destroys me.

'It hurts. It aches. It tears at her until all she wants to do is shake Obi awake, retreat into the safety of his arms for the first time ever, if only to find a place to bury the tortured unmaking and remaking of her heart.'

'Take me, he thinks, and his heart, his very own heart, goes still in his chest. Do what you want with me. I’ll lay at your feet if that’s what you want. I’ll crawl on my hands and knees for the rest of my life if it would do you some good.'

It's just so good. I can't. If there is only one fic you read from this list, it should be this one.

Please enjoy, I hope these warm you (even when they hurt a little bit.) Let me know how much you like them on a scale of excel sheets tracking nutrition to cracking adolescent voices.

See you next month <3

How I tell my adventures.

How the things actually happen.

[cosmiccdivinityy]

Bored and want to interact with people on a rainy day.

Name some characters you don’t get the hype for. Like everyone and their mom loves this character and you just don’t get it. Not to be confused with characters you just dislike or don’t like that much.

For me it’s gotta be Uncle Iroh from ATLA like I don’t understand why everyone is so obsessed with him. People act like he’s the best character ever written and I don’t get it. He’s cool and all but meh. Also I stand by my thought that Appa’s Lost Days was sadder than his mini story.

Another Shinsho from MHA. My dude was in like two episodes three? Why did people love him so much. I’m neutral but I don’t understand why everyone and their mom hyped him up so much. My dude did all the complaining about not being hero and seems to have like no body strength like sir be for real?

Oh and Zeke/Noah/Izzy/Eva that whole group from TDI. I don’t get it will never get it don’t wanna get it. Meh and neutral on em too but I don’t get why they’re so popular/beloved. Noah was pretty funny later seasons maybe I should remove him but yeah

Derek Hale from Teen Wolf one of the few that teeters close to dislike for me. Actually the more I think on it the more I dislike him so no comment

Remus Lupin. I’m sorry I just don’t get the hype. Sirius ok godfather I guess he’s whatever but Remus why. My dude didn’t do much of anything besides teach that one year. Like nothing else and all he does is whine about being a werewolf which yeah it sucks but dude it’s been 30 plus years by now. You think you’d have figured something out.

If you like any of these you crazy jk all power to you cause you probably hate my faves too lmao

I can't believe this silly movie broke my heart so badly that I put on one of my biggest comfort movies and that I'm staying on the couch to sleep...

How do you just f*ck over your own fans like that?

Derek deserved to be finally at ease and happy.

Derek deserved better but so did we.

I'm truly heartbroken cause they didn't need to do that. They said this is for the fans but then pull that... Wow

[icepandawarrior]

S1: a victim of The Argents (excluding Alison) and his own uncle Peter ( 🙄 ) trying to help (mainly) Scott with his newly supernatural life.

S2: An alpha dick head (shades of his uncle) who pushes around his pack members and has a creepy association with Erica (shades of Kate) in the sake of having power....

[hellameyers]

FUCK YEAH!

[imagine-sterek]

Based on an interview where Hugh Jackman’s son tells his friends he brings over that his dad isn’t anything like Wolverine.

Imagine other werewolf kids meeting Eli and they’re so impressed that Derek is his dad. Like “Your dad is THE DEREK HALE” and and Eli rolls his eyes like “my dads not cool, he’s not tuff, he’s actually a huge dork” and when he meets people from the FBI they ask him if Eli is impressed with Stiles and his work Eli is like “no. Why should I be? He makes me kill the spiders in the house. He can go on life threatening missions, but he still gets scared watching horror movie, yeah big hero you got there.” and Eli goes around calling stiles boss big brother and he gets so annoying, but he’s not gonna have beef with a 15 year old kid. And everyone just tell stiles, “your son is kind of scary” and stiles laughs and says he’s a teenager.

"You dads have taken down several crime rings, mass murderers, and saved countless lives, and you're not impressed?"

"They fight over which Star Wars movie to watch on Friday nights, so... no."

[wheredidhiseyebrowsgo]

Any fics where Stiles and Lydia are siblings? I've tried finding some but it's only vaguely mentioned and never talked about after that so I was wondering if you had or could find any fics where it focuses on that more

Hi anon! @kevaaronday made this list for you.

back again (for the first time) but hot_damn_louis (6/6 | 73,083 | Teen | Sterek) “There was a—” Stiles shook his head, unable to believe it himself, “— a ghost.”

It had been years since Stiles had seen a ghost with his own two eyes, and not through a fancy camera or on pictures. He saw it, the column of light, at the end of his bed. If he wasn’t frozen, scared to even move, he might have been able to stretch his leg out and kick it. He was that close to it. 

aka Stiles is house sitting with his sister Lydia for the summer on a farm in the middle of a ranch in Texas. And even though he's a retired ghost hunter, the rumors of the Mad Monk ghost on the Hale ranch are too enticing to stay away from.

The Last Chills of Winter by LeeHan (1/1 | 42,525 | Explicit | Sterek) “He didn’t magically charm me,” Derek shot back in his defense.

“Oh, so he just regular charmed you?” Laura said with a smirk.

“What? No,” Derek growled.

“Was he hot?”

“No! He just—“ He just had a laugh like a sun shower. Fuck.

Better Fortunes by SmallBirds (1/1 | 39,618 | Not Rated | Sterek) When a group of sinister men attempt to kidnap Stiles Stilinski from the Brooklyn apartment he shares with his stepsister, Lydia, Stiles is forced to activate a spell that translocates him to where he'll be safest.

Derek Hale isn't sure what to do about the soaking wet young man he finds wandering down a Beacon County roadside during the middle of a thunderstorm, but he feels compelled to help him. There's something about Stiles that Derek finds fascinating, and before long the two become embroiled in each other's lives.

Despite the threat to his life and the sudden upheaval of everything he's ever known, Stiles is having a hard time feeling too upset about that.

Studying the Blade by never_love_a_wild_thing (10/10 | 16,420 | Teen | Sterek) Figure Skater Derek Hale is going to the Olympics for the last time. Age and an old injury are finally starting to get the better of him, but a number of fresh faces on Team USA, or maybe one face in particular are enough to keep him going.

Stiles Stilinski and his sister Lydia are going to the Olympics for the first time. Between nerves and drama, he's worried that they may be in over their heads, but a veteran skater reluctantly takes them under his wing.

In other words: leave it to Sterek to fall in love in the middle of the Olympic Games.

Memories by idratherwrite (1/1 | 15,739 | Teen | Sterek & Lydia/Jackson) AKA, Lifestyles of the Rich and Oblivious

Rich cousins Derek and Jackson are ready to spend a summer sailing across the Mediterranean. Rich step-siblings Stiles and Lydia are planning to have a great summer traveling Europe on their yacht. Nothing goes as planned, but it gives Lydia and Jackson (and Theo, and Meredith) the perfect excuse to play some matchmaking.

I Need A Hero by sapphireginger (1/1 | 9,501 | Explicit | Steo) Stiles Stilinski and Theo Raeken have been together for almost four years. They're mates but something happens that causes everything to implode. They're no longer together. Why?

Political Animals by FiccinDylan (1/1 | 8,109 | Teen | Sterek) It's the worst day in Stiles' life and the last thing he wants is to deal with Derek Hale's bullshit.

Derek feels pretty much the same.

Red by ZainClaw (1/1 | 4,371 | Mature | Sterek) They’re close now, only a few feet between them, and Stiles can already feel the heat coming off the werewolf’s body. He smells like the forest, a layer of the wilderness forever etched into his skin. Stiles is drawn to him like a moth to a flame, the sound of his pumping heart maddening in his ears as he moves even closer. Desperate to close the final distance between them.

“If you try anything,” the alpha warns him, “I’ll rip your throat out. With my teeth.”

Stiles laughs drily, tilting his head to the side.

“Likewise.”

Man of Honor by Inell (1/1 | 3,454 | Teen | Stiles/Derek/Kira) When Stiles attends Lydia’s wedding, he doesn’t expect to meet two people who are perfect for him. He definitely doesn’t expect them to suggest an unorthodox solution to the dilemma, either.

the odds are in your favor by elisela (1/1 | 1,739 | Teen | Lydia/Parrish) “He was jogging,” she says morosely a week later, kicking her heels off at the door and sinking into the couch after depositing the bag of takeout on the table. “Shirtless. There was sweat.”

“Shoulda licked it,” Stiles says. There’s a movie on the television, something she doesn’t know or care about, and he shoots her a dirty look when she grabs the remote and changes the channel. “Christ, not this again.”

[anxiety-thyme]

It's time for this month's first Friday fic night!

For a refresher you can find out what this is here.

Last month we looked at Attack on Titan.

According to the poll we are going back to Teen Wolf. Poll for next month's fandom at the bottom.

Fandom: Teen Wolf

Ship: Sterek

Last time we looked at Teen Wolf we were at 40k words or less with a focus on healing and recovering from Trauma.

This month: BAMF Stiles

with bloody feet across hallowed ground, by owlpostagain

"There were no last words. No more pleas, no more screaming. Just the sound of Stiles squeezing the trigger, the explosion of a second shot rocketing out of the revolver, and the hunters bursting through the open doorway just in time to see the bullet slam squarely into the center of Derek’s chest."

In The Afterimage, by clotpolesonly

"Jackson sat heavily on the riser beside Scott, knocking their shoulders together. “This is weird and I hate it.”

"What's weird and why?"

“This whole situation,” Jackson said. “With the Ghostriders and the missing dude you’re so obsessed with.”

“And why do you hate that?”

“Because now I can’t stop thinking about it!” Jackson bit out, and he really did sound supremely irritated by that. “I keep thinking that if even Danny’s forgetting shit because of this guy, then I must be forgetting shit too, and that is so not cool. So now I’m running over everything that’s ever happened in my entire freaking life looking for moments when the Ghostriders could’ve fucked with my head.”

Scott had to admit that Jackson had a point. He’d been doing the same thing ever since that first memory with obvious pieces missing. Honestly, it was hard for him to find a memory that did feel whole. Even sitting on the bench alone didn’t feel right."

I'm the ghost of my mistakes, by GreyHaven

"Stiles hasn't been known as Stiles for the past six years. He's Mitch Rapp, a CIA assassin with 117 kills under his belt. When he gets a late night call from Scott, saying Derek has been taken, he's on the road back to Beacon Hills in less than ten minutes. He's going to get Derek back, even if that means adding a few more kills to his ledger.

An American Assassin/Teen Wolf fusion. Rated E for violence which is canon typical for AA but might be considered extreme for TW. If you're familiar with the plot of AA, please be assured that no female or beloved TW characters have been fridged in the making of this fic and pairing."

i'm here in search of your glory, by EvanesDust and spaceprincessem

"And standing there, in the dim light of the office was the all powerful emissary whose name had been whispered across the country. The one who could move mountains and part oceans. The one they all called Void.

Standing there was Stiles fucking Stilinski.

There were so many things Derek wanted to say - needed to say - and Stiles arched an eyebrow, like he was waiting, like he fucking knew. Derek opened his mouth, but the only thing that came out was, “Are you fucking kidding me.”"

As a reminder, always check the tags!

I hope you enjoy. Let me know how much you love them on a scale of surprise badass to faulty memory.

I'm leaving off both Attack on Titan and Teen Wolf for next month, they'll be added back into the poll after that.
