Summary:
Stiles no longer feels in control. He realizes he never truly was, but after the Nogitsune stole his body, he knows he'll never feel in control again. There will always be fear that he's not himself, or worse he supposes, that he is. The nightmares dog his sleep, driving blood to the delicate veins in his eyes and bruises to the skin beneath. He withdraws and hopes no one sees. Lydia pushes Jackson into his life, without preamble. One day he's simply there, on the other end of an internet connection, looking as battered and drained as Stiles. He is no longer who he was and Stiles clings to that, desperate to find what that means for himself.
Jackson drags through his days, eating lunch alone and dinner under his parent's anxious glances. He feels no semblance of a life he once lived and craves escape from the suffocating city his parents have trapped him in. Rage tears at him each full moon as he shoves the creature deep within, afraid he'll erupt in scales instead of fur. If he went wrong again, there's no one here to change him back. When Lydia tells him Stiles might understand what he feels, he tries to ignore the craving for human contact. Emotional connection. Pack. But he calls and maybe finds what he needs.
I made this for you all as a little invitation to celebrate with me on 2k! I never thought I’d be here with you, doing this and making amazing fics that you love. Thank you for supporting me and sticking with me and showing me love, I’m forever grateful. So to celebrate, I wanna have maybe like an all-nighter, where we just chill and I’ll write up drabbles to your requests, we can just talk and gossip, or you can ask me things, anything you want!
Thank you, thank you, thank y o u. I love each and every one of you so fucking much, this is crazy. You can start sending in requests today/tomorrow and I’ll start around 7pm central time tomorrow night! 🖤
